I don’t think Atl is willing to trade Huerter plus FRP. I am sure the Kings want some players back who can contribute right away. Kong’s are not thinking rebuild but add vets to support Fox.

As for Bogs, I wonder where he prefers...

Wouldn't need to be KCP necessarily. I mean, I guess it could, but....

Kuzma + McGee = $7.7M in salary. Seems light for Bogdon but if they add in THT (who is a Klutch client so I wouldn't expect that) they get to $9.2M. Is a 2 year $18M with a player option next season enough or does Atlanta (smartly) outbid them substantially and get it done? Guess it depends on what he prefers but it is telling that he even has the Lakers on his radar.. I'm sure his agency has informed him the best LA could do.

Trae
Bogdan/Huerter
Gallo/Reddish
Collins/Hunter
Capela/Okongwu

Totally guessing on the depth chart but seems like they'd be due for a consolidation trade at some point. Lot of good players, but a good problem to have.

In january we could only offer Kuz + this years first round pick. I don't know what else we could put in the trade that would be enough for the Kings. According to the article it's saying Kuz + McGee contract + sign and trade KCP. I don't think it'll be enough though. Kuz & KCP were also two of our key rotations guys in the playoffs, I'm kind of iffy on trading all those minutes.

If Atlanta wanted to move Huerter, Snell and the OKC first in a sign and trade it would be done.

That is the beauty of it, we still have cap space to get him or many other pieces to move around if a SnT will happen. I think that Trae is very happy about all of this right now.

BTW, we will NOT SEND HUNTER OR REDDISH in any trade unless it is for a bigger fish in the sea.

I’m guessing the Kings are asking for 1 of Hunter, Reddish or Huerter in the sign and trade or they match. Remember our GM is from Houston. They could easily play 3 guards in Fox Hield and Bogi.

Does Kuzma have actual value in the league? Why would anyone want him?

Hi, Cavs fan here. Yes I would want him.

Can someone explain why the bucks are not in the run anymore? I mean it's not for Bogdanovic to decide, where he ends up, right? Only thing important is that his new salary makes the trade valid.

I think Kuz could be that 16-18 ppg 4 reb kind of guy. He could shine as a third guy but the lights are too bright and he needs more minutes to develop. He stalled quite a lot this season but there is definitely upside to his game.

Because returning to the scene of the crime is asking to get caught?

Lakers 3peating if they get Bogdan, 2 way guard is all they needed

Kuzma + KCP should be enough. It’s either that or lose him for nothing to the Hawks, or continue to seek out trades that Bogdan will agree to. Kings are in a bad spot

He is a restricted free agent. Kings aren’t in that bad of a spot. At worst they match and play a 3 guard line-up. If they suck 2021 is a good draft. :nod:

Bogi could sign a one year but given the Kings curse with IT and Cousins might be risky.

Also because they waived ilyasova's contract that was needed to match in a sign and trade. They'd have to trade Brook Lopez at this stage.

He is long. 6’ 10” wingspan

Hawks have zero reason to give in to Kings demands. Just offer him $22M per and dare the Kings to match. They have the leverage of money and not needing the Kings to do anything but not match.

I have no idea what is going on with Kings media right now but they are killing you guys--they are telling you guys you have leverage you absolutely do not have.

Better look elsewhere because Bogdan isn't a 2 way guard. He's an average defender at best.

Shithouse defense but offensively he's a stud. Don't listen to these "He's long and athletic" he is, But he's still a shithouse defender. Could he be a better defender? probably, But his career with Sac Town, he's been, just average as hell

With Lebron/AD/Dennis its not like you need to shore up the Defense. Hes a guy who can knock down shots and having less defensive pressure he's going to look good doing it

Kuzma's world would be shattered if he gets traded out of Los Angeles..lol

Says Hawks are front runners using cap space and Lakers trying to do some type of KCP + Kuzma for Bogdan swap

Lakers are very aggressive, could easily win the offseason if they pull this off
