Kings Offseason with Dallas, Pels, Utah, Toronto

1st trade - Kings/Dallas
Monk for Naji/Martin

Dallas gets a dynamic guard that can hold it down in place of Kyrie. Keep PJ in the process.

2nd Trade - Pels/Kings
Demar + Devin Carter for Dejounte Murray

Pels get 2 guys ready to come in and contribute. Carter still has a ton of potential. Demar can still put up 15-20 on good efficiency, while carrying more scoring load when Zion misses time.

3rd trade - Kings/Toronto/Jazz
Kings get: Ochai/Keyonte George
Toronto Gets: JVal
Utah gets: 2nd from Sac, 2nd from Toronto

Toronto uses a 2nd to shore up the backup C spot.
Utah gets 2 2nds for a guy whose replacement was just drafted.

Kings decline Keon, sign him for 4/60
Kings sign a cheap stop gap pg like Tyus Jones who they can trade when Dejounte gets healthy.

Finals Kings Roster -
Sabonis/Maxime/Isaac Jones
Keegan/Martin
Naji/Nique
LaVine/Keon
(Dejounte)/Tyus/Keyonte

Why for Sac? Perry says he has a plan. Get longer, more athletic, and focus on the defense. Vivek does not want to tank, so this needs to be a rebuild on the fly. In theory this is buying a starting pg pretty cheap while we wait for him to get healthy. We finally stock up with a few forwards who wont kill us.

As much as I like Naji, I'd do this for the Mavs. As much as I dislike Demar's game, I wouldn't do that for Sacramento

It's fine from a Jazz standpoint, but I'm not sure what the Kings are doing here.

Agbaji is more valuable than JV (esp to us). 50/40 3/D wings dont grow on trees. Backup caliber C's do.

This also puts us into the tax, which is a bigger problem than value difference, so its DOA.

Pass from Toronto

First trade seems reasonable. Second I wouldn't do for Sacramento - I don't think Murray's the answer at all. Third is minor.

Consensus seems to be sac is losing the pelicans deal.

Do the pelicans still do it demar for dejounte straight up?

Then the 3rd deal is nixed completely?

I think trading demar for dejounte even knowing the risks is worth it for sac. Pg market is very ugly

I would do that for NO, but I'm certainly lower on Murray than they are. They probably don't. I also don't really understand their thinking overall.

I would rather keep George on rookie deal until we're ready to win.

Well, I do like the idea of trading DDR for Murray for the Kings and I don't think it's necessary to send Carter, given the length of the contracts and the availability of DDR, who is practically an iron man...
Trade 2 ...
Valanciunas+3/4 SRP or FRP prot to WARRIORS
Kuminga to KINGS..

I’d pass trading George for two 2nds. Still to early to give up on him.

Obviously yes for the Mavs
