hootie249 293 Report post Posted January 30, 2019 A real honest to goodness trade proposal for us. I would put out feelers to the Kings for Vucevic. It's no secret the Kings have been underwhelmed by their young centers for a few years.Two reasons the Kings might be willing to trade now.They have no draft pick this year, making the playoffs would be great for that franchise. They have a tremendous amount of money coming off the books.Randolph,Shumpert,Koufos,Mclemore and finally W. Cauley-stein is restricted. Trading for Vucevic now will help them win, and give him a tryout before free agency. His cap hold would be nothing for them while they chase free agents. Ok, now the hard part. Assuming they really want to part ways with Cauley-stein, i propose a trade involving him and another player. He gets a fresh start and the Kings get a center perfect for their system, who they plan to resign.The second player i would prefer is Bjelica, he hits 3's and has a killer contract. Let me be clear i would take him. I don't think they part with him, he is one of the only guys they have that can make 3's and is cheap. So i propose we take back either Justin Jackson or Yogi Ferrell with Cauley-Stein and filler. What this does for us is give us a tryout on a center who we can sign for less and a little more depth. A pg or sf signed for cheap.Plus no more buddy ball, we can hand the reigns to Gordon the rest of the year. The Kings would do this because they can run out a line-up of Vucevic,Bjelica,Bogdanovic,Hield and Fox. That is a hard team to guard and they have Giles and Bagley waiting in the wings on cheap rookie contracts. What do you think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean honestly I'd go top 2 if that's what they demand and it doesn't cost much else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes sometimes i think some gm's do not understand the draft and how it works. More then likely 2 to 3 weeks ago we were destined to be somewhere around 10. If we had offered a top 3 protected pick the day all the trouble started, i think they would have taken it. If they had really wanted Gordon then this is all for nothing.

Would have to be a 2022 first because we owe the Celtics a pick, and we definitely have to hit a homerun on atleast 2 more draft picks to play with Jaren Jackson in the next couple of years. I just have a feeling the Grizz n Magic will make a some sort of trade. That Jarrell Martin trade in the summer just felt like a "we'll call you later for a favor"-type trade. Both teams probably wanted to see what they were working with before any more moves. Now that they're losing ground in their respective conferences I think they'll pull the trigger on something.

You would have Barrett second because you dont want to go through a rookie PG with Morant, correct? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just don't think Morant and Smith are that different and trading the pick for Smith might as well be "drafting" him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This. Just draft either morant or garland. Trade Fournier for anything, may even have to attach the OKC pick to get rid of him. Also I’m on the train that trades both Ross and Vooch, both that helps in future, like draft picks or young players. This roster as it is does my scone in!

We can't draft Morant if he's not available. It's why I want to trade the pick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Both will be as good as smith. That’s just my opinion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Okethree 76 Report post Posted January 31, 2019 I think we could get dsj easy with a top 6 protected pick. I don’t know if the FO wants to part with that though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
