Big Domas to OKC 

Post#1 » by Syko_boB » Fri Jan 31, 2025 5:01 am

Kings trade: Domantas Sabonis

Thunder trade: Isaiah Hartenstein, Nikola Topic + 3 1sts
- best of 25 OKC 1sts (4 potential picks - all protected at least top 6)
- 27 DEN 1st
- 28 OKC 1st


Sacramento gets ahead of the game and pulls a Gobert before Mitchell
Their 2025 pick to ATL is top 12 protected & they own all their picks going forward
3 picks incoming
Add a potential PG of the future
Grab Hartenstein who will hold down the 5 + return them additional value if they shop him

Hartenstein / Len
Murray / Lyles
DeRozan / Huerter
Monk / Ellis
? / Carter / Topic

Oklahoma City brings in 21 15 + 7 & elevates their core without losing anything on the floor

Sabonis / Williams
Holmgren / Williams
Williams / Wiggins
Dort / Caruso / Joe
Gilgeous-Alexander / Wallace

I like Sabonis a lot. This doesn't work for OKC. They need bulk and rim protection.

This is a bunch of nickels it looks like but

Trading Fox doesnt have to do with Domas. Domas is by far the teams best player, and many feel losing Fox won’t do much negative to team prospects

Team isn’t looking to rebuild at this stage

I think Sacramento should look to move Sabonis and rebuild. But I don’t think they will. I think they will try to retool around him on the fly. So I assume they would turn this down to do that strategy, even if they shouldn’t.

I think Sabonis would make OKC even more ridiculous... And Clay would have 1.5 years to decide if he’s willing to spend like Ishbia.

Always can trade Sabonis in the summer of 2026 and recoup “half” the assets..

For Sac, I don’t think they plan to rebuild so wouldn’t consider the base idea... And do think they’d need more value than this if they did make him available.

Has this always been the sentiment? I kind of always thought Fox was viewed as Sac's true number 1.

Yes. At least by the bball community. NBA.com had Domas as a top ten mvp candidate the last two seasons

It may have been mixed two years ago (even though Domas has always been better clearly) among Kings fans, but the last two years the overwhelming majority of Kings fans would have Domas as 1.

Sabonis is 5th in the league in EPM. I'd give up far more for him than Fox, who is 79th.

I don’t think OKC does this. It’s not a defensive fit and while they do have the assets they simply don’t need a big swing like this, and it could disrupt team chemistry.
