2025 Offseason Thread

[BoogieTime]

After watching Schroder with the Warriors no way I would sign him and give him 45 million. Dumping a good back up center for Dario when the Lakers and Warriors are looking for a center is stupid. We should have tried to make a deal for Kumiga.

I’m not a Kuminga fan. I personally hope that interest was smoke

What are y'all calling this lineup? NBA 3.0?

Schroder
Westbrook
Lavine
DeRozan
Sabonis


What are the odds Sabonis demands a trade before Christmas?

[Appostis]

....why the JV trade?!!

Add Kuminga for Monk also! Sabonis will get about 6 touches a game.

Realistically, the sooner Sabonis asks out, the better positioned we will be. Vivek won't allow Perry to trade him, but if he asks out we will have no choice. Sabonis is the only thing keeping us from 14th in the west. And to be clear we are still in the running for 14th, but moving Sabonis all but guarantees that.

So far
Happy about draft
Happy we traded JVal
Not thrilled about the Schroder signing but oh well, maybe he's tradable at some pt during this contract.

I've been up and down on Kuminga through his career. If he accepted a role, he could be an elite cutter type of player who can also get you a bucket when you need one. He makes a lot more sense to me if DeRozan isn't on the roster.

Demar for Rozier
Monk for Kuminga

Sabonis/Maxime
Kuminga/Jones
Keegan/Nique
LaVine/Keon
Schroder/Carter

I'd be cool going into the year with this roster. 7 young guys to continue developing. 3 vets. A clear scoring role for LaVine with Monk/Derozan gone. A clear path to development for Carter-Keon-Nique. More shots for Keegan. At worst there's some development to be done while we wait for LaVine to expire.

....why the JV trade?!!

The media narrative is it gives the Kings 10 million in space under the tax. Allowing us to be more flexible in upcoming moves.

My theory, Vivek wanted to save a few dollars after signing Schroder. Time will tell.

[City of Trees]

I wouldn't be shocked to see Keon for Kuminga

[BoogieTime]

Kuminga isn’t the one. No bbiq, inefficient and can’t shoot. Not a fan of Perry looking at him

[BoogieTime]

There is a reason why Kuminga won’t be retained by the warriors under practically any circumstance

I wonder why Perry seems so low on Carter. First shopping him during the draft and now in s/t. At this point I will be surprised if he’s on the roster in fall even if it has nothing to do with Kuminga. The rumors that he is uninspiring behind the scenes seems to fly in the face of his play style

Any word on the delay for closing the Schroeder deal? Piston fan here waiting to see some sign and trade benefit.

Sounds like we were wanting to keep that portion open to make the Kuminga deal easier. But from what I'm seeing its done now. Pistons gave us a 2029 2nd to do the S&T

[BoogieTime]

Now, who doesn’t belong in the nba?

Will be interesting to see if Lyles indeed gets his vet min from somewhere, but I think he may be overseas. Just as long as I don’t have to watch him..

[BoogieTime]

I feel as if there is abnormal weight on a 24th pick and second rounder to do well in SL from the fan base. Maybe it’s because it’s all we have at this point to fly in the face of running it back stupidity

[City of Trees]

After putting some thought into it I've decided I would rather develop Devin Carter vs trade him for Kuminga.

Fair thought.

Id say short of moving demar and monk, it's the right decision.

A team of monk, demar, lavine, Dennis, kuminga, sabonis.. too many guys who want the ball and not enough connective pieces.

Good opening SL day for Perry. Picks looked decent as well as some possible reasoning for his Carter shopping (though I'm still on board with him)

you mean Vivek don't you? I thought he was a meddling owner pulling all the strings? Dictating draft picks, trades and FA? We can't selectively blame him for all the bad and not credit him for the good. Let's have some consistency.

He's the owner responsible for Christie coaching the team instead of the man the contending Knicks paid bank to acquire and has put this team at a competitive disadvantage by running it back instead of blowing it up (I wanted to compete, but if you cant spend assets you blow it up before running it back). The team now is aiming for a low lottery pick like the majority of the years under his tutelage. I'm hoping though he actually got one decision right with Perry, so far so good in the little interactions though I'm not a fan of Kuminga

Its hard to discuss the issue with you because you seem biased towards him and continue with the Vivek fandom petulance not derived from being a normal Kings fan looking at the issue objectively quite apparently to the board (I suspect you might support him because of heritage), and your annoying the board now with off topic insertions. You constantly have something to say about the roster negatively, the direction, just about all of your posts are laden criticality, but lets support the renowned owner with a bad reputation! lol

A job of the owner is to be seen and not heard, and to cut the checks and to play no role in the teams formation. He doesn't need to actively be involved in all GM duties, but he shouldn't be involved in swaying the franchise with decisions.

The team has been a laughingstock under his guise, in large part because of his stupid decisions GM wise/coaching wise/direction wise (not tanking during those Cousins years or any years), and maybe actually in being the active GM but I suspect that may have been just earlier in his tenure. Its well recognized, search the net for ranking nba owners = we have a problem

Well stated!

I was literally about to ask if he’s a family member plant on the board or something. The constant support of one of the most incompetent owners I’ve ever seen in pro sports is ridiculous and I second the notion that most all of us get the reality and are sick of ANY support for that clown Vivek.

Question: Is your team wanting to re-sign Keegan or trade him? If re-signing do you guys think he’ll get the rookie max?
