It’s not what he wanted. It’s what his options are dwindling down to. Even more since the Kings used the TPE for Schroder and hard capped themselves
It’s actually pretty funny. GS pulled him during the playoffs. They showed the entire league they don’t think he is a playoff caliber player at this point (4 years in their system). But somehow the rest of the league wasn’t supposed to notice? No extension either?
GS has made their position clear, yet fans are here arguing GS would be happy to pay the tax and pay him a real contract or he’d accept a small deal. lol. We can all see ya’know?
The Warriors reportedly offered him around $125 mil last summer. He’s clearly going to sign for less this summer. He’s an asset, no matter what you think the Warriors feel his fit is. You don’t trick off an asset on what is looking like a favorable deal (especially when the owner loves the guy) for Devin Carter.
His fit on GS is irrelevant. The Kings aren’t trying to trade for him for how he fits on the Warriors. They’re trying to trade for him for how they think he fits on the Kings. If it’s a positive fit, make a positive offer. Add Ellis or flip Monk to a third team for something the Warriors might be interested in.
Flipping Monk could happen. Something needs to give a little to grease this deal. Perry doesn’t value Monk. But Keon and Murray are fever dreams of GS fans. Most Kings fans would not trade either straight up for JK on a good deal. Like I said, there is a solid contingent of Kings fans who think Carter is too much to offer. Carter is going to be a winning player, JK has the upside but less guarantee of being a winning player.
