Any way we could make it a three way deal?
Maybe...
Nets out: Booker and #27
Nets In: Anderson
Kings Out: Koufos and #34
Kings In: #27
Bucks Out: Anderson
Bucks In: Booker, Koufos and #34
Thoughts?
If we are to include the Bucks and send Koufos out, then the Kings are going to need more. We see Koufos as positive value and he serves a purpose on our team (great teammate and mentor; solid post player who does the little things).
I figured moving up 7 spots and back into the first (4yr contracts instead of 3) is fair value for Koufos. I'm also the one taking on the bad salary (Booker) instead of you in this proposal so thought that should even it out a bit as well.
What would you be looking for us to add?
The trade proposal that the Kings and Nets have been discussing has been:
Nets send Booker and #27
Kings send #34
We are completely fine with taking on Booker's salary because we have a TON of cap space. We have no issue taking on that contract. With the addition of the Bucks, we basically sent Koufos away for free with only positive being that we didn't have to pay for Booker. We value Koufos more than the salary that we would save sending him away. If we move Koufos, we are moving him away for a player who can help us, not salary relief.
The only (slightly) obtainable pieces the Bucks have that we are interested in are Malcolm Brogdon, Jabari Parker, and picks. From what I've seen here, you really like Parker and I don't blame you. He is a solid young player who is coming off of a (2nd) big injury. You would be selling low on the guy if you dealt him now. We are interested in him, but we are not likely to give you the value that you are seeking. That leaves us with 2 other directions:
1. We are interested in future firsts if you want to go that route. We could send Koufos to you for a future first.
2. Brogdon. We really like Brogdon and I'm certain that you do too. He is a team player and seems to be quite a hustler. I don't think you value Koufos and Brogdon the same so we may not have a deal there, but it could be the basis of a deal.
