What would we do with Tristan Thompson though?

We would need a 4. Barnes going to LA isn't smart.  We are just left with Niang.

Horrible trade. Not even the Kings are that dumb to take on Russ contract.

Agree with this.  We're already hoping they are dumb enough to take on Tobi's contract.  Expecting them to take Russ' contract on top of that? Even the Kings aren't that stupid.

we'd need a stretch 4 in a tobi deal...and bagley ain't it!

I loved haliburton the year he came out. I still can’t believe he fell to the kings at 12. Was ridiculous cause i thought he was better than some of the guys who went before him. 

Same thing happened with Maxey

No team should want Russ. He hasn't changed as a player in a decade, isn't a winning basketball player, owed 47 million next year. 

Heck, he was benched the other day for Monk.

I would trust @JayEcho more than this site to make a trade and he is dummy. 

Is Paul George available tonight?

I agree. I just wanted to see your guys reactions.

Not for a few weeks 

from realgm:

 

Insider on KANGZ board says Simmons for Fox deal is close, expect it to go down in the coming days. McNair will move on if not, so it’s in Morey’s court.
 

No idea if it is true but if it is, I guess that means Tobias is gone too?  If so, he should be scratched tonight right?

yeah, it's some rando on the realgm kings board:

As I updated a bit ago just today . Looks very promising a Simmons trade will get done . Though as of now a package would include Fox . We are talking other paths with no Fox or Hali . So Yes that is very possible as well .

no idea if he's credible...but most aren't.

Morey specifically mentioned the Kings saying there are packages with the Kings that could get it done.

Clearly with as many times as reports have popped up linking us and the Kings, theres been negotiations. 

All the posturing on twitter. The kings will include fox. they wont. They will include haliburton. They wont.  The two sides seem to have been talking for so long now. It feels like if any trade is to be made, its going to be a Kings deal.

Morey also said they dont necessarily need a top 30 player because of how well Joel is playing. Could expand the list to a top 40. Conceivably, Fox could be included in the expanded list making a Kings deal suddenly more likely than it was before. 

I tend to believe a deal could be close. But, we will see. 

I re-read the post. I dont actually believe its any closer than it has been in the past few days. 

The dude says a deal is close, ball in Morey's court or else the Kings will move on.

Thats pretty much where we have been. Theres been the report of a kings offer, that the 6ers have declined.

Kind of feels like the Kings are now saying take it or leave it we are moving on.

I dont think Morey gives in. So maybe no deal.

I totally disagree........the Kings need/want to make the playoffs, they are desperate to do so.......I'll take Haliburton (or Fox), Hield and Barnes plus 2 first round picks for Simmons, Thybulle and Harris.  How in god's name is that a "Kings Deal"?  I'd giggle til passing out......

People forget how good Fox was last year. I think one of of guys after the All Star break to avg over 25ppg a game 

He was 6th on Top 25 under 25 just 8 months ago.

Fox is one of only seven players in the NBA averaging at least 24 points and 7 assists per game as the leader of a Kings franchise that finally appears headed in the right direction.

As I outlined last year, the game has slowed down for Fox -- he's striking that balance between using his blazing speed and taking what the defense gives him. According to Second Spectrum data, Fox generates the fifth-most points per chance on drives. He's also posting a 70% effective field goal percentage on shots in the restricted area.

Once he can get his 3-ball above league average, Fox will be close to unguardable. -- Schmitz

I suspect the Kings have offered, as reported, Hali, Hield, Barnes and 2 1sts for Ben, Harris, and Thybulle. 

And the reason a deal isn't done is Morey wants Fox instead of Haliburton. 

That's my guess.

I really don't think that deal makes us championship contenders.  It's more a lateral move and I like Hali.  My stance on Hield is well known.  He's Curry with a fatter contract.  Harris and Barnes is a wash except for future cap space.  Lose defense.  Gain offense. I really like Thybulle as a guy to frustrate opponents best perimeter players.  That'd be missed in the playoffs.

His 3 point percentage is so bad and he doesn't hit FT's at a great rate either.  I do not see him becoming an average shooter.

Sacramento Kings are the team involved in that trade... isn't that obvious?

It's a stepping stone to a Harden deal this summer. That seems to be Morey's end game.
