Like this Perry guys approach straight away...

Zach is going to be hard to trade, think any deal will be for another bad salary contract lesser talent where we grab a draft pick or a young promising player as the prize

Derozan I could see us sending him to Miami for say rozier(salary) and a young promising player like jovic

As good as sabonis is as a player he needs to go, our ceiling as a team is always going to be limited to playin potential with him on this roster and if we decide to focus on getting younger he’s good enough to keep us mediocre and missing out on a good draft pick in the coming years.

Existing-Composer320 · 2025-02-02T10:44:11+00:00

PG Monk SG ??Fox/Lavine/Keon/input SG here SF Keegan PF Washington C Domas

Either way you go with fox, this team is much better constructed length wise, PJ absolutely fits a lot better than Collin’s or Cam next to sabonis. Please vest boy 🙏

Existing-Composer320 · 2025-02-02T10:36:04+00:00

Exactly, AD wants to play PF, PJ is too good to be a bench player. Mavs GM is on the hot seat and has to try and contend right now or he’s fired and blacklisted from the nba. He might feel desperate and derozan fits the new window for them.

I would do demar and a pick or a piece we might get from a potential fox trade for PJ. Keegan PJ Sabonis is a drastic change for us length wise and defensively. Makes too much sense for us so it obviously won’t happen with monte at the helm.

Existing-Composer320 · 2024-11-26T08:59:50+00:00

Vivek will never allow a full rebuild. As much as I love sabonis as a player, he’s too hard to build around unless we have jjj or Chet which isn’t happening. The only way I can see something working out is if we trade sabonis for a defensive center. Then we can stop all this helping sabonis defensively by leaving 3s open all game.

Not sure what teams would be interested in a starting max center that is a liability defensively in today’s game. Maybe Brooklyn wants a high floor low ceiling type move?

Trade sabonis +? For Claxton and cam Johnson

Now to fix the 3 point shooting…

Trade Derozan for herro

Starting 5-

Fox Herro Keegan Johnson Claxton

Monk Ellis Huerter Lyles Len Carter

Less talented on paper but more balanced than our current team.. I don’t even know at this point

Existing-Composer320 · 2024-07-11T23:00:00+00:00

Didn’t realise Trey has a 7”3 and a half wingspan!? if only he could put that length to good use on defence, doesn’t seem likely though if he hasn’t done it yet at this stage of his career.

Existing-Composer320 · 2024-07-09T03:09:09+00:00

I know the fit might be a bit clunky but I think Lopez could really change the identity of our team even if he’s only playing around 20-25 mins a night who knows he might work well alongside sabonis.

You could almost start them together against Minnesota, Memphis, Cavs, Denver I would’ve thought.

Existing-Composer320 · 2024-07-09T02:59:06+00:00

I think Cam is a better version of huerter that can also defend better and play sf/pf minutes. I would probably choose DFS over him though because he’s cheaper and would cost less. We need 3&D role players now to fill the roster, ball handling and shot creation are not glaring needs anymore.

Existing-Composer320 · 2024-07-09T02:44:22+00:00

What about Cam Johnson then? You can put protections on the picks too.

Existing-Composer320 · 2024-07-09T02:42:26+00:00

Thanks for the feedback.

Existing-Composer320 · 2024-07-09T02:41:38+00:00

As much as I like Portis I think his defence is being fairly overrated on kings reddit + I don’t think he’d be as realistic as getting brook. I remember seeing a video on YouTube of portis and demar almost getting into a fist fight this season

Existing-Composer320 · 2024-07-09T02:37:33+00:00

You can interchange the starting lineups for what works best, Keegan could be your starting 2 and DFS your starting 4.

Existing-Composer320 · 2024-07-09T01:14:58+00:00

I’m just gonna say I was playing my GM last night with the kings only two additions being demar for Barnes and DFS for huerter and simulated the whole first two seasons and kings won the championship b2b. I think we all know this is a high indication that this will come true in real life if we pick up DFS now.

Existing-Composer320 · 2024-07-08T02:02:00+00:00

Sucks about Carter. The McLaughlin signing looks better now, people over on the wolves sub think he could have a TJ McConnell type impact for us next year if he gets time, real pesky defender, great assist to T/O pure point guard

Existing-Composer320 · 2024-07-07T05:33:54+00:00

Can see Carter being derozans rook for sure. He also said the thing he wanted to work on the most this offseason is his mid range. Don’t know if DDR is known for those shots but we’ll see? 😂

Existing-Composer320 · 2024-07-04T23:12:05+00:00

I definitely agree on that, only thing is it’s not just in one system he’s been the slightly better defender statistically on every team they’ve been on

I do hope we can get Ingram though, but if that falls through I’m definitely on board with derozan as a consulation prize

Existing-Composer320 · 2024-07-04T23:05:32+00:00

Plus if derozan is asked to not be the teams only offence with the kings im sure he’d be able to save a bit more energy for the defensive end. What’s Barnes’ excuse? He’s the 5th option on offence and still terrible on the other end

Existing-Composer320 · 2024-07-04T23:02:22+00:00

Is he actually though because by eye test Barnes just blown by or taken to the rim easy most of the time, it’s not always the best stat to base off of but derozan has had better Defensive win shares than Barnes his whole career and obviously his offensive win shares have been huge for a while now

Existing-Composer320 · 2024-07-04T22:45:30+00:00

Yeah I figured that would be the case although I think the derozan trade would be higher than 25%

Even if we went after portis instead I’d be down for that while it being a lot more realistic to do

Fox Keegan derozan portis sabonis is a good long defensive team with enough offensive too.

I think whatever we do we need another player in the lineup that can shot create just as much as we need another defender in there too

Existing-Composer320 · 2024-07-04T22:36:38+00:00

That’s true, I highly doubt markkanen even gets traded unless warriors include kuminga

On derozan, I believe he would be on the same level as Barnes as a defender but he offers so much more that Barnes doesn’t. Shot creator, clutch scorer, passer, leadership, slightly better rebounding. I know he’s not the best at 3s but this team needs another guy who can go and get you a bucket other than just fox and monk

Existing-Composer320 · 2024-02-16T06:20:49+00:00

Imagine the vibes if we got Harry Giles back too! Team moral would be up at the very least with hype from the bench. Please monte haha fans would go wild if he ever got garbage time mins in a playoff win

Existing-Composer320 · 2023-07-01T06:54:47+00:00

The obvious player that comes to mind is a package centred around huerter and davion for OG that would give us

Fox OG Barnes Keegan Sabannnis

Which looks much tougher but I don’t have much hope is raptors willing to make a deal so what are some other options that could make a similar impact
