The MOST LIKELY TRADE scenario for the Kings to land Jonathan Kuminga

The MOST LIKELY TRADE scenario for the Kings to land Jonathan Kuminga

bad. This is from Brett Seagull, who proposes the most likely trade scenario for the Kings to land Jonathan Kaminga. Here it is. Sacramento Kings received Jonathan Kaminga on a 4-year $112 million contract with about$25 million a year uh year one base compensation. The Golden State Warriors receive Devin Carter, Haywood Highmith, a 2027 first round pick, top eight protected from the Kings. The Miami Heat receive Malik Monk and KJ Martin. The Utah Jazz receive Terry Roier’s expiring contract, a 2029 first round pick swap from Miami, a 2027 second round pick from Charlotte via Miami. So they get so uh they’re getting sack. I think he messed that up. Okay. from from sack to have any chance of then he writes to have any chance of landing Kaminga now that they are hardcapped at the first apron the Kings will need to move off either Monk or Demard Rosen Sacramento is about $7 million from the first apron right now with 15 players under contract and their previous offer of Sarich and Carter would only be $10.5 million in outgoing salary still the big question is whether this is enough for the Warriors to accept the deal with the Kings. Carter isn’t viewed as a firstround value right now giving his injury concerns. And while Haywood Highmith is a decent player that Golden State has expressed interest in previously, their return is still much lower than what was expected. The other part of this is I I always get just in general, not with what Brett is saying, just in general when I see four teams cooked up and not like the what was it the trade the Kevin Durant 10 team trade where they were just little things not like that but with a situation like this with legit big hitters and even yes Kevin Durant was a big hitter but all the other little nuanced moves of it outside of Kevin Durant and obviously see what the Rockets got. That was a very weird specific situation. I just don’t know how often four team trades like this actually happen. I Well, let’s make it easy, right? Let’s start Let’s start with two and then figure out how we got there, right? Okay, fair enough. So essentially the Kings are adding Jonathan Kaminga and they would be sending out Malik Monk, Devin Carter, 2027 first round pick, top eight protected and a second round pick, right? Yeah. And real quick, I feel like we’re burying the lead here because of the moves that the Kings have made, which is so funny because they dumped Jonas Valenunis’ contract, but they’re still stuck in this situation in part because of the money that they gave to Dennis Shruder. They can’t do Brett is selling you right here. They cannot do. We keep on talking about just take the deal and leave. Just take the deal and leave. Malik Monk or Demar Rozan has to go somewhere. Yeah, they have to go somewhere. You can’t just The Warriors could say, “Okay, we’ll do that deal.” They still ha they still have to find a way to get Malik Monk or Demard Rosen out the paint, which is essentially kind of what Matt George was saying. Matt George said Devin Carter or Malik Monk. That’s two things for two. That That’s the Westbrook thing. This is what I’m talking about. There’s a lot of moving parts here, man. Yeah. I mean, the Kings would be trading essentially a rotation player, a first round draft pick last year, a future first round draft pick, and a second rounder. So, if we just start with that, then the Warriors have to call Miami and say, “Hey, do you want Malik Monk?” Let’s just say Miami says yes. Right? Because Miami might say no. But in this scenario, he’s saying Miami says, “Yes, we will take Malik Monk. What do we have to give up?” They say, “We’ll get get rid of Terry Rosier.” Okay. Well, the Warrior the Warriors say, “Okay, we got to find someone else to take Terry Rosier now.” So, they go to Utah and Utah says, “Fine, we’ll take Terry Rosier’s terrible contract if you give us allegations.” Yeah, that too. if you give us a first round pick and the the Heat say no but we’ll do a pick swap and that all of that has to happen right and this is the most according to Brett the most likely which is honestly I thought was going to be more complicated I don’t know if I don’t think Miami would do a pick swap to dump that f to dump that Terry Rosier contract but I guess Miami might be betting on in three years they’ll still be better than the Jazz, which hey, good luck Pat Riley and general manager who I can’t name, which by the way, how weird is that? They’ve had the same general manager for 20 years and no one knows who it is. He’s the best job in the NBA is being the Heat general manager. One he’s won three championships and just no one knows his name. Silent silent manager. Yeah, that guy. But anyways, I think while the heat aspect of it is a little convoluted, I do think Brett made it about as simple as you can while acknowledging you have to move either Malik Monk or Demar Rosen because Miami just has so many expiring contracts and wants to compete right now. Maybe Miami is the team that makes the most sense. Yeah. And obviously they added Norman Pal, but there’s no denying that Malik Monk is better than Terry Roier. So you’d be adding him. Do they are they interested in the three years of Malik Monk? Maybe they feel as if, hey, guys like Malik Monk, and I keep saying it, that’s going to turn into the Malik might be on three different teams in three different years because everybody’s cool paying him 20 million for one year. Everybody is cool with that. So he’s just going to keep bouncing around. I hope he doesn’t because people don’t like that. players don’t like that, but that just seems where this could be going. I guess if Miami turns this Terry Rosier situation into Malik Monk and KJ Martin, that’s pretty good. Pretty good. But they’d have to give up a a pick swap to make it happen, which it’s not a pick. It’s pick swap. Again, I think Brett makes it as layman’s terms simple as you can to kind of explain it. and you know KJ Martin whatever is nice piece but that would leave Miami with Tyler Herro Malik Monk Norman Powell Bamio Khalil Wear uh I’m forgetting someone but it’s a fine team but back to the back to the Kings part of it. So essentially you would be giving up a you would be giving up a top eight protected first round pick Malik Monk Devin Carter and a second round pick for Jonathan Kaminga. How does that make you feel versus and you’d still and that’s the part of it that’s why Keon Ellis now it seems absurd because it to do business with the with the Warriors cuz you can’t give up Keon Ellis a first round pick and Malik Monk maybe you would give up maybe you would give up Keon Ellis a first round pick and Demard Rosen but you can’t give up Keon Ellis Malik Monk in a first round pick. You cannot do that. Well, unless that first round pick has heavier protections, right? Because I still don’t think you can do it. I still don’t think you can do it. You would say giving up essentially two rotation players for one rotation player in Kaminga. Yeah. I I without the without the kind of confusing addition of having to move on from Malik Monk or Demar De Rozan. If I’m the Kings and I like Jonathan Kaminga that much, I wouldn’t let Keon Ellis stop it. But now you’re to the point unless Malik’s contract is really viewed that poorly, which I don’t think it is. It’s just hard for me to say you lost you lost Keon. You just can’t be Keon. It can’t not to lose Monk and a firstrounder. It can’t be Keon and Monk. It cannot be Keon and Monk. It might be Keon and Demard Rosen and a heavily protected first cuz yes, I think both things. I think if it’s Keon, that first round pick is even more protected. Okay. And it would have to be Demar D. frozen in order to make that money work. I can’t give up Malik Monk and Keon. I cannot do not for Jonathan Kaminga. Can’t do it. Can’t do it. Won’t do it. On the other side, more from Brett Seagull.

On today’s edition of The Allen Stiles Show, the guys discuss the article from ClutchPoints.com saying that for the Kings to acquire RFA Jonathan Kuminga via sign-&-trade, Sacramento would have to be willing to part ways with either Malik Monk or DeMar DeRozan to stay under the second apron
