This move puts them about $14.5 million below the tax line, which gives them room to use the full $12.9 million NTMLE on DJJ. If they somehow don't need all of that, they'll have more available to fill the final 2 roster spots. The only way you're creating that much space is moving Hardaway for nothing, which this effectively does. Sending OMax and a 2nd to move that much salary doesn't seem unfair. Huerter, in my opinion, is not better than Brown. They bring different things to the table. I think Brown is more useful to Sacramento at this point, and Vezenkov seems likely to be moved to create space anyway. This move is basically Huerter for Brown combined with using a 2nd to dump Vezenkov. I assume you want to just roll it back, hoping #13 is all you need to get better, but Sacramento needs to do more than that.
Wow!
Just so much having no idea what you are talking about here.
Keon Ellis is one tenth the price of Brown. Eight years younger. As good and getting better defender. More reliable 3pt shot which Kings need.
Brown would be nothing but a pricey backup and maybe some salary freed up if we just let him go all next summer - which means assets were wasted.
I get that in “your opinion” you look at it and think he’s better than Huerter. But think about that you are the only one here that thinks so. Huerter is a better offensive player. A better creator. Becoming more capable on D. A good rebounder (something missed by a lot of people and he’s tall for the position so this will only get better as he gets older and stronger). He is 26 - coming into his prime - and is far more likely to match or exceed his prior performances after one fluke my down year than a guy in Brown who has already peaked as a role player and is in his thirties. And Huerter is still locked up at a fair rate (@ 10% of the cap for a dead eye shooter is great in the current NBA) and that helps our money situation.
I feel like all your arguments come around to “I don’t really care how the other teams make out as long as mine gets the best of the trade”. But that not how trades generally work in the real world. Their is benefit there for everyone.
