Is Reeves not a viable replacement for Hawkins?


With the departures of Naji and Dyson, we're going to have to count on Hawk as a regular rotation player for 20 minutes per game.

It's crazy to think that a second round draft pick is automatically going to be capable of that.

Detroit was dumb to sign Tobias Harris to that contract. I would've been a filler to get draft picks from these teams.

Detroit still has like 25 million or so in cap space they’re planning on taking contracts with

Are the Kings still trying to get both BI and DeRozan?

If so, make it a four way sending back Barnes, Zach Collins, and picks. Possibly accept a small player from Chicago so they take Huerter if there is one that meets our needs or is needed for salary purposes.

Regardless if Kings get DeRozan, Griff loses some serious leverage here. This isn’t looking like just a smoke screen anymore.

Why would we do that? I rather just keep BI at that point

Problem still becomes getting a starting center and a backup 4.


Unless we expand the trade with the Hawks to get a center, which requires BI, the options of getting one for the start of the season are dropping heavily. Unless we want to chance placing a waiver on Paul Reed as a stopgap.

You wonder if Griff will regret not pulling the trigger on a BI deal earlier on. Patience won out for Griff on the Dejounte deal but the roster is a mess if they dont trade BI before the season.

What leverage? Ingram was always plan D, E, or F for the few teams that were interested.

Im not sure about that. I think Kings probably preferred Ingram over Derozan. I’m sure they want both but they get Derozan they wont be pressed to get Ingram. They might just wait him out.

If Ingram sees that no one will pay him, does he extend for a short deal on a little less as a “prove it”?

Why do that? Just play on your current deal and go into free agency and pick your next suitor. Someone will have money next year and pay him.

Or he could get hurt and end up like Boogie Cousins

Was about to post that.

There is a reason most guys don’t gamble on themselves like that and Boogie is the poster child for why.
