Unprotected 1 seems unrealistic. I'd be surprised if they get a lotto protected.
They were offered a lottery protected first and turned it down… Seems unreasonable to me

In 2030? That should be unprotected. We scouting 8th graders for 2030.

Lottery protection on a Kings pick is worthless. It means the pick won't convey for years and probably become a second round pick.

I hope JK just take the QO now!
What is it about a team option he doesn't like?
He lost injury and UFA protection. If you were him, do you want yourself to not get some protect for a short contract like that? And if he does good, he wants his money with player option... not team option with no control again.
Furthermore, Dubs wants him to wave the no trade clause. I saw on ESPN, maybe Slater, said that standard CBA on 1+1 is no trade clause.
So Dubs wants everything, and have JK lose all protection in the negotiation?
As of Friday, sounds like Dubs softening up from JK's threat to take QO?

Why does it has to be 2nd round only?
We got JK because the protection got less and less.

Didn't they have a protected 1st roll over for like 8 years. It wasn't even lottery, it was top 10, i think, for a long time. I can't remember the flawed PF they traded that pick for ... something Thompson?

We end up with the worst of the spurs or kings pick in 2031 supposedly so still a 1st.

Yep.
Seems reasonable for a guy Kerr finds unplayable.

Not sure what everyone was expecting with the way JK was handled last season and Kerr's media tour after they were eliminated from the playoffs.

A 1+1 with a player option is basically just a more expensive QO. Of course they want the team option.
What exactly is your ideal outcome here?

All this news coverage feels ridiculous. Let the Kings offer 4/90, then match. This whole idea that GSW has no leverage seems wrong.

I keep hearing the argument that Kuminga would be a distraction if kept on the team. I guess there's something to that. But does Lacob once again want to make a poor-to-mediocre trade with one of his 2nd timeline stars? The Poole trade wasted a future first. The Wiseman trade was embarrassing.
Maybe the outline of this trade can be expanded to include more teams where Monk can be rerouted for one or two players who meet a need for the team (how about some wings!), especially since the trade, as configured, would require moving Hield or Moody. Now, if someone counters by saying no other team really wants to trade for Monk, then that speaks for itself about the Kings-Warriors proposed S&T.

We had Pat Spencer playing playoff minutes last year. We have nobody to guard other point guards. We have literally no backup PGs on the roster.
If Horford is in fact a done deal, good guards are absolutely what we need to add most.
Yea I don't get why people think we don't need guards and then complain why podz plays so many minutes. We absolutely need guards and a poa defender.
We currently have:
Steph - no context needed
Podz - guaranteed to start based on Kerr's love for all things podz
Buddy - best player next to steph/dray/jimmy, for my money
Melton - looking to sign
Seth Curry - Looking to sign
Moody - I still think he's more of a guard than a wing, but open to discussion
Even Butler can play some 2 in larger lineups, particularly if he got offended by teams daring him to shoot 3s last year.
That's 6-7. Why do we need to trade JK and Buddy for someone just as likely to start/close as buddy is, for 3x the money? It doesn't even solve our backup PG problem as Monk has proven to not be a point guard. Is he better than a healthy melton? Not so sure. I know buddy can shoot/defend/fit next to steph/jimmy/dray. I know nothing of the sort about Monk. I'd take the gamble if it was just buddy or moody, maybe. For JK and one of them? No thank you.
Beyond Butler, Dray, and JK, we have no one to play the 3 OR 4 other than moody or gui. That's awful depth at both forward spots, even with JK. Without him, it gets bleak.
So my argument was that we need new guards more than we need new forwards… and your counter is saying we have 2 backup forwards on the roster already and then the two ball handling guards you listed other than our starters are literally free agents. Thats what i’m saying to do

Kings are trying to get rid of Monk, bad contract and all.
Warriors should be dismissing the proposal out of hand.
They're not offering any assets in return because the FRP is to eat Monk's contract.

Not really. It is really a potential 2 years of JK seating on the bench or yo-yo-ing playing time if the low balling continues. And probably will since JK will not get to showcase his "skill". Remember? Kerr said JK is a loser, so why would any team give Dubs more back when he cannot even play?
Sounds like JK rather get less money for a year and get out of this mess with certainty. Hence the player option. Not saying he is a star. Just that he wants to not be in this situation. So money is not everything in life. That is what anti-JK fans trying to make a case of get the offer and shutup. So not really Noel situation here... that is unless Dubs willing to pay up for him to sit on Kerr's doghouse... which they aren't.
The ideal outcome is get whatever garbage that works in S&T and learn from Kerr and management stupidity they put themselves in.
Unless you like JK F#@% around for a year or 2 more.

Warriors are my favorite team but feel they have screwed up the JK situation royally.
Kerr DNP's him, goes on a media tour saying he doesn't fit and then they want an unprotected FRP. Seems delusional.

If JK is willing to take the QO then the Warriors are screwed. They need to soften on their offer to him or what pick compensation they are willing to take back.
