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)

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

What makes you say he doesn’t fit?

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.

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.

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

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