Every trade kings get hosed. And we’re over the luxury.
I LOVE it for Cleveland. I was negative initially for the Kings but want to see it first. Ive come around to wait and see.
Hunter has been stuck behind ball dominant Trae Young and Mitchell his entire career.
Kings need to release Westbrook time to play all the rookies and young guys he is taking to may minutes and shots
To me this trade was all about getting to a realistic domas trade
Being in the tax for a really bad team is ridiculous.
Locked On Kings is watchable now. Hooray!
This not an interesting move. It’s typical “Doing business as the Kings” move. There are never additional moves that makes sense and fans are always left with inspirational word salads. Every time!
So we cant get kaminga now?
The Kings did not do this trade to get off of Schroder. Why would they bring in a 24 million dollar player to do that? He makes way less money than Hunter and can be bought out for 4 mil after next year. They did the trade because they WANT Hunter, who knows how that turns out.
This franchise will never turn around until we have competent upper management. I am a fan but my interest/focus on this team is on hold until they can get their shit together.
For the love of the land; please let us keep Monk. When the dust settles, I need Monk still in a Kings uniform 🙏
So the kings couldn’t give Keon an extension because they wanted to sign Schroder in the offseason. But then you have to trade Keon to get off Schroder money. Good asset management by this new front office lol
Keon is the main reason why we are in this situation we kept him over Davion Mitchell🤔
Y'all were told KE was worth a 1st but paid out a 2nd…WTH???
Another brilliant head scratcher by the Sack Town front office. If Charlie Brown has a favorite NBA team, it HAS to be the Beam Team. Enjoy the rest of your season, Cow Folks 😂😂😂🤡🤡🤡🤡🤪🤪😄😄👏👏👏😃
Fan base cries for a wing, then cries when they get a legitimate wing. Insufferable fan base.
What has Perry done so far? Maybe I’m just pissed and we need to “trust the process” but idk. Just asking.
I like hunter. Good trade if we don’t send out picks for this trade.
Cavs fan here. Do not place high hopes on Hunter. We got him for very little last trade deadline, but this year we found out why. Besides his injury history, he could not consistently knock down shots (30% from 3). His defense was not very good either. He has games that make him look like a 6th man of the year, but they are too few to justify his $23 million salary.
Just wanted to say Congrats on your new gig. Hope this Kings season doesn't torture you lol
Hunter a very good player, I wanted kings to trade for him after beam team year but not now, how we're going to say that Keon don't fit the timeline but 28yr old Hunter does, perry has made this team worse with every trade and traded away 2 2nd round picks like bag of chips. Yet another bad GM who's all talk. And idc however bad those 2nd round picks were, those were still valuable and remember Dylan Cardwell who we all love was an undrafted guy there are always good pickups in late 2nd round. For a team rebuilding this is such a bad look.
Garbage move
This trade smacks of desperation, doing a trade just to dop a trade. This trade gets the Kings nothing. We take on more salary, so we are not getting off much. It delays a rebuild by loosing Keon's value to help move our terrible contracts in the summer.
Hunter hasn't been hurt this year. The Cavs have been having trouble with ball movement which makes his 3s more contested.
