Trade deadline discussion

Kings love bigs that can't be the anchor of a great defense and also can't shoot.

Sabonis is a good player for sure. Haliburton is a good player that could function in elite nba situations. This is a move to get from missing the play in to maybe getting to the 8/9 seed and eff the future.

Bruh... you'd be losing your **** if we did this. Tyrese is a guy that can start on a championship team... he's young, cheap and killing it in a ****** environment. Sabonis is the kind of guy that gets you to 45 wins and keeps you there.

This trade is bad bad bad for the Kings.

I like both Tyrese and Sabonis. I think they are both very valuable.

I think it's more rare to find a guy like Sabonis than it is to find a guy like Haliburton. But yes, they are both very valuable.

I like Haliburton's deal better.

This is why you just continue to call stupid teams... If this was their offer for Sabonis I would want to see what the offer for Rudy would have been. I don't want to move Rudy but Jebus if they gave that for Sabonis the Rudy offer needs to be 2x that.

I honestly thought the GM was doing well. I thought he had maybe convinced Vivek to chill... this is a GM under owners pressure to do something. So dumb... this is how perpetual rebuilds happen.

Congrats to the Pacers though. One year in the dumpster and they will come out smelling like a rose.

NOP are just the dumbest. They were in such a great position when they drafted Zion... Had so many assets and some good young players that fit with vets. This is why you don't swing from "asset accumulation-patience mode" to "win-now mode".

Sell of Holiday for picks, let Lonzo walk to sell off some picks to get Grahamn, sell some picks off to go from Adams to JV, cash in on Hart and picks to take on the bloated deal of CJ. This is simply a GM trying to save his job by winning 2-3 more games this year and hoping to do well in the play in. Weird ****.

To be devil's advocate, it's easy to stay in "asset accumulation-patience mode" when you have no stake. The reason they are in such a pressured position to win now is because Zion himself might demand out soon. People get so excited about OKC and their treasure chest of assets, but that could very well be meaningless to the important decisions makes. The owners, current players, and FO members trying to keep their jobs don't give a damn about being patient if the goal is to win now. We can call those guys idiots, but if they were in patience mode Zion is gone and so are their jobs.

The Pelican's have only had two playoff appearances in the last decade. They're in a good position to outperform their last decade (damning with faint praise I know) with this roster they put together.

Would never be smart enough to trade a player near his prime in order to get the load that Indiana just did for Sabonis.
