i think that DMC and Wes Johnson are both pretty solid picks.. but if not Turner then why not DMC and WJ?

Min in: #5, Omri Casspi
Min out: #16 or #23 (Use the 23 if possible), Jefferson

Sac in: Al Jefferson, Pick
Sac out: #5, Casspi

Therefore having 4 and 5 then picking DMC and Johnson.
What do you think?

I don't believe Sac would accept that trade. I think they might value Casspi more than the 16, and they probably value the 5th more than Al. It would have to be something like Al or maybe Flynn and the 23 for the 5th and Noc.

i would take noc too. but Flynn is too valuable to get rid of.

Jefferson and 16 for 5 and Nocioni

Flynn for Casspi

I think Flynn is too valuable. and i dont really see Casspi becoming a starter. i think we gotta keep Flynn around and get freaking Rubio out.

Now, what do you mean by 'get freaking Rubio out'? Get him out of Spain and into a Wolves jersey, I hope?

I don't think this is new because trying to trade for Johnson has been bandied around a fair bit the last few weeks. I think it's got merit, just looking at the needs Sacramento has compared to what's valuable around that 5 spot but I don't think the team would be able to straight up trade for that pick.

#5 and Nocioni for Al Jefferson seems reasonable to me. Add in #23 if needed but not more.

I am not impressed by rubio at all. i think we could use him as a great trade addition to get someone good. but i still think it would be great to have 4 and 5

I don't think I do that. This is worse than the Pistons trade IMO, since Prince is expiring, and productive, and there isn't much value difference between the 5 and 7.

The difference is Wes Johnson being available and not being available. If we want Johnson then we need to bite in the sour apple.
I prefer the Detroit deal as well but who are you going to pick then? It's probably too low for Johnson and too high for Henry/George and all remaining wing prospects other than Aminu who doesn't really fit because he's does have a lot of work to do to be reliable from the perimeter like all of our players.

I either trade for #2, #5 or #10-12 if I want to acquire a wing prospect.

I would much rather have Johnson than Prince. and there is a big difference between 5 and 7. especially if we have the 4 as well.

The Kings need help on the wing a lot more than they need another post player, like us. Why would they give up their promising future there with Johnson/Aminu and Casspi, to clog up the post for Landry, Thompson, and Hawes?

because landry, thompson, and hawes cant do it. they are not good enough. thats why.

They're left with Greene and two aging SF's in Garcia and Nocioni though. I think Landry is good enough to start long-term.
