To give some credit the the Kings (who, btw, are a playoff team and have built a nice roster) it's easy to nitpick the moves in isolation, but without the McDaniels trade they were likely not even a player for DeRozan.

That POR 2nd in this stacked upcoming draft is gonna be the real prize. It's basically the equivalent of a mid/late 2024 first round pick.

Can't believe we got that PLUS Jamal Shead and Davion on top of that.

Then change your title. It's not for a second round pick, it's AND a second round pick. No surprise, you love mistitling your threads to take a negative stance.

Someone's gotta correct the title for this post. Sacramento is the one attaching the pick to get rid of McDaniels.

Lol you're such a clown man. A typo got you so riled up. When do I mistitle threads?

The way you're always trying so hard to get a reaction out of me is quite comical.

Not to mention, this thread was about giving Masai credit for the trade, so not sure how exactly I'm taking a negative stance.

Yup, that's my bad. Fixed.

Did people forget what we had to trade to get rid of Demarre Carroll? Lol

If SA can’t motivate McDaniels, no one can…

So in totality for the Kings it’s Harrison Barnes, Vezenkov, Mitchell, Duarte, a 2031 unprotected pick swap and three 2nds for Demar

And some people prefer operating above the cap line? When rebuilding, use your cap space to accumulate draft capital.

They are probably going to motivate him onto the waiver wire.

It is room under the tax that is important not cap room. Every team can use their MLE as a trade exception now. I believe Spurs are over the cap like every other team except I think Detroit maybe.

More likely people don't think the Demarre Carroll trade is relevant within the context of the McDaniels trade, and thus had not brought it up. Why you choose to bring it up is unclear.

damn, he make that bad of an impression on them?

There's currently only 1 team in the NBA that has cap space which is the Pistons, and the Spurs are 9.1M over the cap which means they were over the cap even before taking on McDaniels 4.5M.

The Raptors also have the 8th lowest cap payroll in the NBA this season. So only 7 teams are spending less than them against the cap, and 6 of those teams are also operating above cap.

I understand why Sacramento would do this . Didn’t has the luxury to wait for Vezenkov to accept a zero buyout.

But indeed we have to give credit to Masai and Co.

This deal definitely helps the Raptors.

Mitchell, Shead, Future 2nd rounder to get rid of a negative asset.

Solid W for Bobby/Masai

Spurs are over the cap boss. Embarassing.
