To Sac
Zeke Nnaji
Peyton Watson
Julian Stawther
Dayron Holmes


To Denver
Malik Monk




The kings realize they are going to be way out of the playoff picture and speed things up with a rebuild. Strawther Holmes and watson are 3 lottery tickets they can try and mould into future starters




The nuggets go all in. Monk is a super 6th man. Jokic gets a legit 8 man rotation to help him get another rings while in his prime


Jokic/gordon/johnson/braun/murray

Monk/westbrook?/Hardaway/ Brown/ valanciunas

I would absolutely do this from Kings POV. But it's hard to make 3 extra roster spots.

Can cut Davis to open up a spot. I'd personally cut Eubanks and Dougie who should have never been signed in the first place but that seems tough. Saric could be waived/stretched. Still having a hard time finding that 4th spot.

I'm sure a team could be found who would take strawther for free? The real pieces I want are Watson/Holmes.

i think the Kings are getting the raw end of this but if they see something in 1 or 2 of Holmes/Watson/Strawther, it's fine I guess?

I like a playoff rotation of Jokic/AG/Johnson/Braun/Murray + JV+Monk+Brown

Sac says yes. Then calls GS with a new offer.

No way Denver does this. Trade all of their youth for Monk on 3/$60M contract. Nuggets have 9 man rotation + Strawther/Holmes, they're fine.

The Nuggets finally, finally, after years got a really deep bench. Sure, let's turn that from 4 players into 1 guy.

Not gonna happen.

I think Denver can get by with a lot lesser/cheaper guard than Monk. I do think it’s probably smart for them to make a decision on Watson and trade him if they aren’t willing to match “….” next offseason. And trading him for a backup PG seems to make sense.

If it was only two of the prospects, I think Denver should do it. But they can’t legally match with only two of the prospects.

Sac should take it. “Not my money” but waiving/buying out Saric, Davis, Eubanks, Dougie to make room for Russ, Watson, Strawther, and Holmes feels pretty easy to me..

I do this as a kings fan. I'm not confident that any of the guys we get will turn into anything great. But, with where we are with our roster, this seems to make sense, low risk low reward.

I would prefer to keep monk over all, however I don't see how we can keep him and give Ellis the playing time he deserves while we have lavine/derozan on the roster.

In a vacuum, I like this trade for Denver. But adding Monk's contract probably keeps them from resigning Braun, so in that regards, It's a pass.

Interesting idea. Turning this into a 3-way deal, with Kuminga going to Sacramento (sign-and-trade), and the Warriors peeling off a couple of the young players from Denver….. I think Nnaji would have to go to the Warriors to make the money work for Sacramento, and the Warriors might have to break it up into a couple of deals to make it work, but I could see something loosely based on the following:

Denver gets: Monk, 2nd round pick (from Sac)
Denver gives up: Nnaji, Holmes, Strawther, Watson

Sacramento gets: Kuminga, Watson
Sacramento gives up: Monk, 2 2nd round picks

Golden State gets: Nnaji, Strawther, Holmes, 2nd round pick (from Sac)
Golden State gives up: Kuminga

I think there’s some more “massaging” of money that would be needed to make it work for the Warriors without hard-capping them at the first apron (due to Kuminga’s BYC status), but I think that’s probably manageable. Also, note that I added a couple of pics from Sacramento to balance out the value…… they seem to be making out too well if it’s them getting Kuminga and one of the Nuggets’ young guys, and only having to give up Monk.

Could work.

Still don't see Denver trading 4 players for 1, or 1 plus a 2nd rounder.

Yeah, honestly as I look at the value, I think Denver gets the worse end of this, Sacramento might be coming out too well. Not sure if it works financially, but peeling Watson out of the trade entirely might balance it better, and eliminate both the 4-for-1 and potential value disparity.
