That trade kinda seems too smart for Sacto to make.

Brings to mind one of those funny flow charts:

- Is it a good trade for SAC to make > NO > SAC makes trade

- Is it a good trade for SAC to make > YES > SAC does not make trade

Yeah they will probably do something like 4 for 11 and Julius Randle with the Knicks.

I think Kuzma is kinda underrated at this point. He's a pretty good player and people just hate him.

He'd probably be ok with being back in Cali and in the Bay area (adjacent).

Kuzma, Deni, and say Agbaji or Sochan makes the Kings a lot better, pretty quickly.


Kuzma puts up empty stats on bad teams. I would not want him as a centerpiece of a trade.

If that's how 1-7 go, then I won't melt if we get Daniels

I have resigned my Davis-stan status

He's not the centerpiece. Avdija is looking like he's developing pretty well, especially defensively, and you still have the 10th pick.

For a team that is looking to get better right away, its a good trade. It addresses their needs pretty well.

The draft unfolding like that would be pretty ideal to me.

Hoping for Mathurin or Daniels as most. I agree that I would prefer Sharpe be selected before 8 so that Griff does not make a trade down that we could regret later.

I'd be fine with a trade down. I'm more worried about Griff taking Sharpe...I just think its too big of a risk now, the more I look into it.

Sharpe worries me a good bit (just the unknown). However, I worry about another trade down similar to 2019 when we could have had Garland and instead ended up with Hayes/NAW. Unless we get a lot of future assets, it could be a move we look back at and wonder.

leads to some intriguing lineups. With Giddey and Daniels you have a lot of playmaking to go with SGA.



And Chet can be a very good playmaker. They will be a crazy fun league pass team next season.

Shamit just said both Sharpe and Mathurin have not worked out for the Pelicans. More bad intel from Jake saying they have (at least he said Sharpe)

How are we certain who is providing the good and bad intel out of those 2?

Like, how are we actually judging/establishing that?

I mean, exactly. Shamit could be wrong and Jake could be right, or vice versa.

Also, I believe Jake said they would be working out, not that they had. So maybe it just never happened.

Jake said the Pelicans had set workouts with Sharpe and Sochan. All signs pointed to some time this week. But long story short, info is hard to come by and these two comments are not necessarily conflicting. Just have to see if we hear of an actual visit.

I don't think Jake Madison has any actual sources whatsoever

But I do think he has a girlfriend who is hotter than him whom he met at Niagra Falls

From what I recall Jake said it'd be this week.

They could workout this weekend for all we know.

So, David Fisher posted an interesting mock trade I like

Hayes + 8 for 13 and 15

He opts to take Mark Williams and Ochai Agbaji in those spots

I wouldn't take Williams but I like Agbaji.

Interesting idea.
