I don't see why the Kings would take Poeltl even with a 1st.
What about Sabonis and Monk for RJ and Quickley?
The Kings need a swingman and point guard moving forward.
Sabonis solves our current problem up front and Monk significantly improves our 3pt shooting.
Simply put any Sabonis deal has to include Poeltl. Your creating cap suicide if you keep both. Like $80 million combined a year for two guys who can't shoot and can't play together that is just asking Toronto to create the worst foor spacing team ever.
The deal I proposed doesn't preclude moving Poeltl in another trade. If I'm the Kings, the RJ + IQ deal is more interesting in terms of team needs and Poeltl presents the same financial issue that motivates a willingness to trade Sabonis in the first place. For the Raptors we get off IQ's contract, which is a comparable cap burden to Poeltl's.
The Lakers need a centre and wing defense. Maybe there's something that can be done around Poeltl and Ochai. They have a lot of expirings so it could be a straight up salary dump for something like Vincent, Hayes, and Kleber. Those guys aren't useless this year though—Vincent and Hayes play decent defense and provide PG and C depth off the bench (Vincent is also shooting the 3 quite well this year at 36.9%). Kleber is useless.
Just throwing something out there to show how there are other non-Sabonis situations where Poeltl could be traded.
King's can't do RJ and IQ for Sabonis you have to send out another $15 million in salary and only players that come close are Schröder or Monk and we know Monk isn't going. Saric, Ellis and Carter is still $5 million short.
As for your LA Lakers deal I don't see it. Vincent sucks he's a glorified chucker who has little to no true playmaking ability and if he's your starting PG your in trouble. Maxi is just basically Temple at this point and Hayes is meh like he will give you 6 hard fouls a game but what else? Maybe he grabs a few boards but your getting zero offensive output and with him being a poor free throw shooter you can't use him in close games.
I get you move off Poeltl, IQ and RJ money long term but your paying Ingram, Barnes plus Sabonis and next year your going to have to get your PG and SG and the best options are a Coby White, Colin Sexton or a older CJ McCollum that are not great. Maybe Portland or Orlando decline the options on Scoot and Anthony Black respectively and you take a flyer on Scoot but he's been pretty bad. Point of all this is Sacramento is going to be near impossible matching salary
