"Kings Pushing Hard for Trades"

[fitzhickey]

Rondo, Bradley for Mclemore and a pick .... Id even throw in green for expirings

Oh my........

that would give us the most indestructible tank

Good

That trade would kill me and the team.

[twistedrico14]

There is no one on that team worth giving up Rondo for.

[tyrone biggums]

Rondo is worth more than anyone on that team. Stop it. Thank god Tyreke left during the offseason I was done hearing about those rumors

DeMarcus Cousins
Jimmer Fredette
Chuck Hayes
Carl Landry

Thoughts?

[2short]

lets assume we aren't trading rondo for anything they have 
they aren't trading cousins as he is their building block

we move wallace in a different package...are we interested in salmons as backup sf?
can he be gotten easily, cost etc

[Moranis]

I might do something like this

Humphries, Lee

for

Thornton, Thompson


Or something like this

Humphries, Lee, Wallace

for

Thornton, Thompson, Salmons, Mbah a Moute

The Kings want young players or picks (according to the OP's source).

I suppose Lee and Hump fit the bill. Hump has the added benefit of being an expiring.

Unless they want to do something with cap space, I can't see why they'd want a largely lateral deal.

I like the idea of Thompson next to Sullinger and Olynyk. But I would not throw in a first in what mostly amounts to be, as I said, a lateral move.



The second trade certainly goes against what they want (in my opinion). They seem to be looking to contend in the future. G-Wallace is the opposite of that.

I like that Hump, Lee trade idea too. Both guys would probably fit in pretty well over there, and get a lot more minutes.

I think that they would balk on taking on Wallace's contract though. No-one wants to get anywhere near that though, so anyone Danny can convince to take it... well, good for Danny.

my thinking on both trades was it moves a lot of long term salary for Sacramento (in both trades) and provides much needed veterans that won't make them appreciably better.  In other words, they save future money, don't get any better, but get some leadership and guidance for their core young players.  Seems like the trade might work.

I've always liked Thompson and Thorton, both in real life an 2K.

I don't know if they are long term material though.

My thinking is that the rumor, if correct, means they want to keep Cousins and McLemore and be willing to move anyone else if it will bring back draft picks and/or players on a rookie scale contract.  I don't think the Celtics have any interest in a trade towards that goal.

Thoughts?

Do you think that we could keep Bogans?
