Kings and Raptors

[terryjackson]

Dragic, Boucher, Bonga for Bagley, Thompson, and Jones

Birch - Thompson - Bagley
Siakam - Barnes - Achiuwa
Anunoby - Watanabe
Trent - Mykhailiuk
FVV - Flynn

Holmes - Len
Harkless - Boucher
Barnes - Hield
Hilburton - Davis
Fox - Mitchell

Dragic can be bought out. Boucher helps the Kings with their playoff push and Bonga is a filler.

The Raptors obtain an expiring back up center, and they can take a one year chance on Bagley on their GLeague team. It helps prevent injury can't their core players with Thompson, Bagley, and Jones being able to be the rebounding, defensive bruiser they need. The Raptors should consider placing Achiuwa, Banton, and even Flynn to their Gleague affiate although they may lack the depth to do so.

81. What is the NBA Developmental League (NBA G-League)?

The NBA Developmental League (also known as the NBA G-League, D-League or NBADL) is a separate league run in affiliation with the NBA. An NBA team may assign its players (who are on standard NBA contracts) to its affiliated NBA G-League team as follows:

Years of Exp......Assignment rule
0-2.................Can be assigned at any time
3+..................Can be assigned if the player and the union consent

If an active player on a standard NBA contract is assigned to the G-League, he is automatically placed on his NBA team's Inactive List. There is no minimum or maximum length of an NBA G-League assignment, and players have 48 hours to report to the NBA G-League team once they are assigned. Players continue to receive their NBA salary while assigned to the NBA G-League, but their performance in NBA G-League games does not count toward NBA incentives.

If a player on a standard NBA contract who is on a G-League assignment is suspended for less than 20 games, he loses 1/145 of his salary per game. If the suspension is for 20 or more games, he loses 1/110 of his salary per game. Players stay on the team's Two-Way list for their entire suspension.

Two-Way players and Two-Way contracts are covered in question number 82.

NBA G-League rosters are normally 10 players, but can expand to accommodate assigned NBA players and Two-Way players. In some cases where one team might be overstocked with assignees or players at a particular position, players might be reassigned to a different team. NBA teams do not control the playing time their assignees receive -- that is up to the G-League coaches.

So the story is that he refused to be subbed into a NBA game for Sacramento, yet you expect him to accept an assignment to the G-League by Toronto?

I have him refusing an assignment to the G-League.

You're expecting the Raptors to go into the tax and forgo the decent 2nd Boucher is worth in order to get a sneak preview at Bagley? Don't think so.

It would be a risk the Raptors would have to take. The Raptors still obtain significant center depth with Jones and Thompson that makes the trade good for them. It protects Siakam, OG, and even Barnes from having to play the 5 even with potential protocol or injury.

You're expecting the Raptors to go into the tax and forgo the decent 2nd Boucher is worth in order to get a sneak preview at Bagley? Don't think so.

You are right. The Raptors have been drafting great. The reasons I would consider this trade for the Raptors are:

• Protect Siakam, OG, and Barnes from injury
• Losing from allowing points in the paint
• Providing opportunity for better prospects on the bench

Am I missing something? I have this deal pushing the Kings into tax and saving the Raptors a lot of money. I think neither team makes a move this big with their G-League team in mind, but if someone is turning it down first its the Kings who aren't going into tax to turn Thompson into Boucher and pay $20M for a 5th or 6th guard.

No, you're right. I had the numbers backward.

I understand taking the risk from the Toronto POV since they are able to dump over $5.1 million in salary and aren't sending compensation to the Kings for eating the extra money.

Marvin Bagley III......$11,312,114
Tristan Thompson......$9,720,900
Damian Jones...........$1,977,011

Dragic/Boucher for TT/Bagley/Harkless makes the money closer.

Since both Thompson and Harkless are in the Sacramento rotation while Dragic is a strong candidate for a buyout, I don't have the Kings eager to do that.
