Stein/Fischer: Toronto willing to deal RJ Barrett, IQ, Poeltl for Significant Upgrades // #9 Available

[EH15]

These rumors all sound like a disaster waiting to happen. Here is hoping none of this **** is true.

We're reliving Bryan Colangelo

From Giannis to KD to Ja to Monk.

Big fish.

Give it a few days and we'll be down to the Pat Connaughton tier.

At this point, I am thinking we will pursue Westbrook in free agency….and get turned down

[ForeverTFC]

Monk? I’m sorry, what?

Did Masai lose his GD mind?

For RJ, why not?

[bboyskinnylegs]

at this point, is Portland higher on their #11 pick or Scoot?

How so? Is Telfair walking through the door?

A lot of people have forgotten the Colangelo era it seems.

I mean... IQ + RJ works in trade machine for Sabonis + Monk

Kings said they wanted a PG?

That would be the dumbest outcome possible for this "big fish" nonsense. Like Sabonis is not a winning player and a horrible fit next to Scottie Barnes.

Also what's the plan for Poeltl? At least with Myles Turner you had a floor spacing 5.

I'm just aggregating the mishmash of rumours that apparently IQ and RJ are available, Kings want a PG, Sabonis was linked to us for a minute

Sabonis on very low volume is a good 3pt shooter if you wanted to really squint. Also a good FT shooter on low numbers. I don't think he'd be a terrible fit next to SB. Much better Kelly Olynik

Another big fish.

Do we think Keegan Murray's trade value is low enough to be in this deal?

kings with derozan + rj + lavine - my goodness

for those that aren't aware - there is something called a monkfish so it makes sense

[ATLTimekeeper]

Maybe the 'big fish' is actually Jake Fischer, and he's taking the bait of all these stupid rumours we're floating around?

Hey! At least we're ahead of the Guangdong Southern Tigers!

I thought we are trying to unload our shooting guards, not add more to our collection. Give me Sabonis instead.

when posting the twitter clickbait, at least make an effort to go to the original source and post that.

I really hate unclear nonsense writing like this.

If a trade with the Phoenix Suns for Kevin Durant doesn't end up happening, league sources tell ClutchPoints they have other targets in mind. The Raptors have demonstrated interest in acquiring Kings guard Malik Monk in a potential trade, with that interest dating back at least to February's trade deadline.

The Kings weren't actively shopping their marquee players then. But the team is now under new management. The extent to which GM Scott Perry is actually willing to deal any of Sacramento's marquee players is unknown.

League sources say the Kings have been listening to trade offers from other teams. But that could be Perry simply gathering intelligence on his new roster. The Durant trade saga playing out will allow other pieces of the NBA offseason to fall into place. If Sacramento decides that trading Monk could potentially serve them best long term, they'll have at least one suitor for him in Toronto.

Perry, because of his time with the New York Knicks, has preexisting relationships with at least two Raptors. Barrett and Quickley could be worth monitoring as part of any potential return in a deal for Monk. One question remains paramount in any hypothetical, though. Do the Raptors think that Monk is the ‘significant roster upgrade' they'd trade one of the two former Knicks for?

RJ for Monk isn't even a near salary match either, so it doesn't make much sense unless the Kings are including JV or Ellis/Carter
