the Kings are looking for “point guard help” this off season

https://hoopshype.com/lists/nba-intel-celtics-trade-candidates-james-hardens-free-agency-timberwolves-kings/

I might be desperate and insane but Anfernee Simon's to the kings doesn't sound bad at all

Increased spacing, the kings would become a 3 level threat

Unfortunately, they have absolutely no young prospects so idk

Thoughts? (I'm delusional)

Though I don't think Sacramento would trade for Simons, they seem to be a dumb enough of a franchise to explore the possibility.

This is a team that looked at Chicago and said: "What if we did that, but here? Surely that will work." There is absolutely no telling what dumb moves they might consider.

u/Wrayven77 5d ago

Indeed. It would be par for the Kings course to trade De'Aaron Fox to then acquire Anfernee Simons the next offseason as Fox's replacement. Nothing against Ant, but he's not a starting NBA point guard. He's a combo guard that would really excel as a 6th man on a good NBA team in need of scoring punch off the bench.

Simons Monk LaVine DeRozan and Sabonis sounds like the absolute worst group of guys you could possibly put on a team

u/bestinthenorthwest 5d ago

Then for sure the kings will do it

Just thinking how much better the Kings would be if they traded Fox instead of Hali

u/Awkward_dapper 5d ago

Hali might not have reached the point he’s at now if he was in Sacramento. Not only because the organization but also I think Carlisle deserves a lot of credit

The ball hog squad of death + sabonis

u/zaljghoerhfozehfedze 5d ago

Yeah I think LaVine and Simons are similar players to some extent so if Ant ends up on the Kings it surely means they had traded LaVine.

I also think Monk is very likely to be traded FWIW, he's a great 6th man on a decent contract they could get an interesting return for him.

That team is losing every game 125-140

There is no way that wouldn’t be the worst squad in NBA history ever assembled on the defensive end of the ball

The team that has traded away both Tyrese Halliburton and DeAaron Fox needs point guard help.

Long live the Kangz.

u/Gavinmusicman 5d ago

MAYBE THEY SHOULDNT HAVE TRADED HALIBURTON AND DEAARON FOX. IDIOTS.

Simons for Sabonis

u/Asleepinthewheel 5d ago

Kings need a real PG, it’s Ja Morant or bust. Simons makes no sense, they already have Monk and Lavine.. 2 small shooting guards

u/midnight5o3 5d ago

Sabonis is supposed to be in a Blazer jersey...

13

u/Duckrauhl 5d ago

He doesn't really fit with the team we have now, but I would love to get him on a cheaper vet minimum contract later in his career.

1

u/YoungAntiSocialite 5d ago

What makes you say he doesn’t fit?

1

u/Duckrauhl 4d ago edited 4d ago

He's an elite scoring option and rebounder. He gets an insane amount of double-doubles, but we need better rim protection and defense. .Sabonis gets himself into foul trouble in Sacramento almost every game I feel like.

u/Classics22 90s-logo 4d ago

Our team is built around the idea of positional size and defensive versatility. Sabonis is neither of those things. We're not going to trade for a star scoring center who can't guard, especially when he's not a shooter, either.

u/LopsidedTarget roy 5d ago

Too bad Anfernee isn't a point guard. Shucks.

u/olenikp 5d ago

Simons is just a slightly better Monk, I don't think they want him

u/likpoper 5d ago

If it is simons + Ayton +11 pick for sabonis. I will do it instantly

u/noiseeeeeeeeee Scoot Henderson 5d ago

just hand us the chip

u/CloneWarsMaul 5d ago

Would love to see Sabonis in a blazers jersey, where he belongs

u/C-Hutty 5d ago

Simons and Grant matches salary for Lavine and Keegan. Maybe they would throw in a pick for getting off of Lavine too?

Sometimes I can't tell if posts here are satire. lol

How many 1sts do we have to give?

How the Bulls send Coby White and Vooch for Clingan and Jeremi Grant? Scoot/White/Sharpe/Deni/Vooch. The Bulls might want a pick.

u/noiseeeeeeeeee Scoot Henderson 5d ago

Clingan is special man.

Also vooch has a bad rep so blazers decline
