Wanna see a pivot? How about Sabonis for Jalen Green and Mark Williams? What do you think?
Yes. Kick it to the summer unless you get a good deal now
More teams will be interested this summer Matt
They may be trying to get across the table but stop it if it’s not the deal you want
If I can’t get a great deal for Domas now then I’ll keep him
We could always keep Domas Matt
Wow. I totally agree with everything you just said
But we don’t need to rush for the rebuild right now Matt. Even if we couldn’t trade Domas till 2027. That’s fine
Just don’t trade him for less than full value
The kings need to stop doing that.
Kyle has got the right idea
You’re devaluating Domas way too much
The Kings could still at least get a good young player and a first round draft pick this summer. But they could get more. That’s the point
You go Kyle
Stand your ground Kyle
If this is a 3 to 5 year rebuild then why are you so anxious to make a bad deal now
Exactly Kyle
Like I said, you’re devaluating Domas way too much Matt
Relax….Despite what you talk – Kings will do another stupid trade, 200%.
Poeltl is a vastly worse contract than Sabonis. Poeltl is essentially $27 million in dead money every season. It’s total nonsense to think a 3rd team will take his contract.
No offense to anyone here, this guy was much better doing Locked on Kings
Perhaps include Boyle as well
Sabonis isn’t the problem, he’s giving you great numbers every game he’s on the floor! So much more wasted money through out this roster! Lavine etc…..
I think I would rather make no deals at all now and wait for the summer, over making bad deals now for the sake of doing something. We have tried the latter many times with the same results.
The hold up is Toronto not offering enough in return.
why is Kyle the best part of these discussions?
Nikola Jokić was drafted in the second round by the Denver Nuggets
Don't sleep on second round picks !
Few day ago most or even whole kings media; don’t trade our picks,
Today after Hunter trade; give away frp to get rid of Sabonis.
🤦♂️
That tells me we’re really gonna complete with this team next year. Rebuild is over I guess.
Toronto raptor fan here. No first round pick should ever be attached to this deal. Maby 2 seconds
Jakob is an albatross contract. I wouldn’t do anything that involves him. The Raptors can trade him separately to Memphis.
18:49 pacers got equal or even better value.
You can be bad and cheap or good and expensive… you cant be bad and expensive.
I need 3 picks, Domas is at least an allstar caliber player despite being bad.
RJ is a bad contract that itself requires 1 1st, Poeltl is a worse contract until 2030 that requires at least 2 1sts, at least Sabonis money comes off the books first so you can truly rebuild with cap space like okc and Brooklyn and taking on bad contracts for picks which toronto clearly doesn't want to give up.
Nothing wrong with letting Sabonis walk similar to how the clippers let Paul George walk and spent that money wiser especially if you have to take on 2 bad contracts
matt…audio…
I don't think this deal gets done unless a third team gets involved. The Raptors won't give up 2 firsts and the Kings seem adamant about not wanting Poeltl's contract.
I can understand the wariness around Poeltl's deal but I don't think it's the disaster that a lot of people are making it out to be. Yeah, the injury situation is weird but people are acting like he's medically retiring. Chances are he'll have one or two more healthy and productive seasons after this one.
I've never heard this show before but I agree with pretty much everything the guy in grey is saying. If the Raptors don't get Sabonis, they'll start next year with Poeltl along with one of Goga/Sharpe/Missi. Add in Collin Murray-Boyles – who has been excellent – and our collection of big men is miles better than what we started with this season.
Good luck, Kings fans. You guys are great.
