Kings go scorched earth for the treadmill 

Post#1 » by LightTheBeam » Thu Feb 6, 2025 6:05 am

Trade 1: kings & Nets
Devin carter + spurs 1st + demar for cam johnson

Why for nets? Get Devin Carter + a 1st. Maybe find a 3rd team that would take demar for expirings? Maybe even a little value like kuzma got.

Trade 2: kings & Pacers
Lyles + Chicago 2nd for obi toppin
Why for pacers? Keep a forward for the run, but open money to resign turner and get a quality 2nd

Trade 3: kings and jazz
Schroder into kings TPE + 1 2nd

Why for jazz? Get a 2nd for a guy they have no interest in keeping.

Final roster
Sabonis/Jval
Keegan/toppin
Cam johnson
Lavine/Keon
Monk/Schroder

Kings add some athleticism, defense, and shooting. They go run and gun around the euro big men. Probably still miss the play in, but maybe it will be fun to watch.

That’s an overpay, and I get the need for a big wing. For it to work takes a third team that would value Demar to be included. No Carter though. Only a first if there’s more value than Cam coming back.

Not sure who would be the 3rd team maybe Detroit for THJ?

I don't see Devin developing in Sac. His role was supposed to be keons role, but keon is clearly a stud. He won't get any better pretending to be a point guard, needs to find a team that can properly use him. Another big miss for monte.
