Sounds good to me.

Don't have faith in AK to get it done though.

Nope.

If he does get it done it’s because he gives way too much value away.

I just want things to happen, I want more trades.

Neither.

I reckon the Zach trade is the only move they'll do, just so they can say they did something at the deadline.

I mean, I don’t really care, but Huerter seems like a perfect “entertaining starter for a team trying to be bad that has zero value” and I don’t know what you could possibly move him for.

This is the third valuable player that I said to trade after prime season that soon sucked afterwards and we got nothing for. I’m so tired of being right.

This looks so weird

Shocking lol

Simply more of the typical Epic Suck, from our disgraceful ass suck ownership and his circus show of enept clowns
Nothing will ever change as long as this fraudulent ownership is in place !

I and others have been speaking these truths time and again for well over a decade

I don't know why there's so much anger here. Everyone knows they've been trying to move Zach for over a year and that there hasn't been a market for that contract. Unless you guys genuinely think there was a better deal to be had - I don't - the only alternative was keeping him. And after seven years of going nowhere with him, minus three months at the end of 2021, it really felt like the relationship had run its course. Seems like it's a good chance Vuc will gone by tomorrow too.

Just finally getting off this treadmill we've been on, at long last, and seeing what we can do with a young squad around Matas, Giddey, Smith, whichever of Pat/Coby/Ayo is still around, etc, and our picks in tact for the foreseeable future, is a win at this point IMO.

It's a bit sad, because I like all of Zach, DeRozan, and Vuc, but they just didn't fit together, and it just didn't work here. In fact, I'm confused about what the Kings are doing here because they've constructed a very similar team to the one that already didn't work here.

When 26 of 30 teams in the league want nothing to do with you (27 if you include the Bulls) it's hard for me to complain about the return.

That jersey does not suit him. Feel the same about Luka on the Lakers.

Does anyone every trade someone at the "right time"

Like I see complaints of how we should have trades this or that player years earlier.

And then outside the Bulls it's "how could you trade Luka"

It's just amusing in combination. We waited too long to trade out guys. Dallas traded there's too early.

So tell me goldilocks - what player was traded just right?

Mikal Bridges, Rudi Gobert for example

It's easy for fans to play backseat GM and say "they should have traded XX sooner." Fans don't know what the owners are saying yesmor no team, what direction the owners are forcing on the Game, what offers they have gotten, etc. Fans also don't suffer the consequences that a GM would for a trade blowing up on them.

That being said, AKME waited too damn long to trade certain pieces. I'm not sure if Zach ever had much value after the extension. Caruso most definitely did. They should have gotten a better deal than Giddey by trading Caruso sooner.

Even though LaVine might help a very good team to improve their record as a 2nd or better 3rd scoring, we still have a problem here:
LaVine has put up impressive individual stats but mark my words: our record will be as good without him than it was with him. In order to tank properly, we need another trade or a serious injury of a key player (which I definitely don't hope for).

Zach did. When that 2nd apron kicked in it killed his value because it was hard to justify to an owner paying the tax for his level of player.

I agree with everything in your first paragraph. And then you completely contradicted that paragraph with the second paragraph.

I think Caruso is the exception to what I was saying. This is based on reports that teams were willing to pay a premium for Caruso around the trade deadline prior to him being traded. I think it's clear they could have gotten a better deal for him if they traded him earlier.
