Kings willing to deal Stauskas

Well the last time we traded for a high lottery selection in their 1st year, in a year they were considered "bust", it worked out pretty well. (Trading for Favors)

Maybe we could do the same with Stauskus, but by just giving up Kanter.

Calling Favors a 'bust' when he was virtually the youngest guy in the league with the Nets is a bit of a stretch. The Nets were trying to recruit superstars and win now. They bricked trying to get Carmello and KOC sold them on DWill. Favors was oozing with potential. I'm not sure Stauskas is.
 
Only things I will give Kanter over Splitter is shooting and rebounding.

Everything else is Splitter though, especially defense and passing.

Big men develop differently I guess :/

I would give my left nut to get Stauskus.
 
That's why I said Stauskas may not be the guy. But if there's a real concern about keeping Kanter, then at least get an asset. So trade him for a pick and an expiring if you don't want an extra contract. Personally, I'd take a top-10 pick like Stauskas. Shooters are extremely valuable. You could bring him in and split the minutes between him and Hood (sorry, Elijah). Either one can be an asset in another trade down the road. Makes much more sense than Kanter getting a deal for $10M+ and the Jazz then deciding not to match.

Perhaps if it weren't for the number of bigs in the draft, I might be inclined to say keep Kanter. Then again, that very fact might decrease his trade value...unless a team is desperate to do "something," which it appears is the current state of the Kings.

Don't trade a guy just to trade him because you don't think you can keep him, or because you think you can't lose him for nothing. That line of thinking can kill a franchise.
