Love Keith Smith; one of the better national media guys who does his homework for all markets
At this point. Send Keon to win in okc.
No, Gm Scott Perry needs to start making moves that forces the coach's hand.
Start making moves.
Hopefully Perry has identified Ellis as one of his keepers.
I see 4(Murray, Raynaud, Ellis, and Clifford) i'm not adding any of them to trade deals unless it's a major deal bringing in a real difference maker and using one of these younger players allows me to keep first round picks.
When trying to rebuild, it's always best to retain flexibility and you do that best by protecting draft assets.
That means all the veterans are my trade assets and what i would be trying to sell, even if it means losing some draft asset flexibility, depending on the deal and how it helps future cap flexibility.
You have to look at future unrestricted free agent classes and decide if you want to get the organization in position to compete.
In those cases, losing some draft capital "could" be worth it.
I like The Knicks model and Cavs model as opposed to The Thunder model.
The Knicks and Cavs turned their franchises around with proven nba veterans.
Gm Scott Perry was a part of The Knicks management team.
I think The Kings fan base deserves that.
They should not be forced to watch a young team lose for nearly a decade with constant pleas for patience from management.
