Maybe turner
im glad we didnt trade for sabonis if that was the asking price
Charlotte will now find their starting center in Richaun Holmes, surely.
So is Kings still tanking after this move? I really don’t understand this move, when they could’ve added another young PF to their core this draft
The kings haven't been tanking at all this season. They just suck. This definitely helps them improve but keeping Fox over Haliburton is a really iffy move imo. Still, I think that's a good trade for both parties.
Really like this trade for Indiana. Wonder if they insisted on Hield instead of Barnes, who would have fit them way better. Perhaps they can flip him for a starting 3/4 in the summer.
I'm pretty sure Sac wanted to keep Barnes over Hield. They've been trying to trade Buddy for years.
Yeah, they probably wanted something like a combination of Poeltl + Walker or White + picks or another guard....sorry, Sabonis ain't worth it.

So Kings could win more games with Sabonis, and put Spurs as 6th worst team.
It's the Kings, don't ever try to make sense of their moves, just enjoy the ride.
As already said, Morey is a moron if he could've had Haliburton+Hield for Simmons and didn't take the offer.
Kangz lol. What a trash organization
Keldon is playing out of position so we don't really even know how good he is or isn't. I'd rather take the chance that we have him play the 3 in the future and see what he does there than take Patrick Williams and a 1st round pick that we use drafting the next Keldon.
Wow Stauskas, Bagley, Thomas Robinson, cherry picking defense, and now dumping the one good draft pick they made?
Kings likely go up, Portland likely goes down. Who knows what Indy does. We likely finish 6 or 7, assuming no further non-financial trades happen.
To be fair, Fox was a really good pick.
If the Pacers intend to keep Turner then the market for Poeltl should be high. Spurs might get some good offers for him.
Haliburton/Fox + top PF pick could be contending for years. And they could've Doncic too instead of Bagley. That's seriously dumb management
The Kings are moving forward with a backcourt of 6'0" and 6'3" guards, and a frontcourt of two bigs & a reserve who aren't threats from three. It's like they haven't even been paying attention to the basketball world at all for at least half a decade. By some metrics, Haliburton was literally their only net positive player... I don't get their approach at all.
Fox is horrible value at his max contract. Both him and Domantas are players that are difficult to build around.

lol no way. There is no way to make Sabonis an efficient piece. I don't even know if he would be a good 6th man. The only thing he does is take a team up to the play-in. 8th seed is the ceiling for a Sabonis team. That should mean the Kings finish before us, which is great. Also the Pacers should get better with this move, which means they can overtake us in the standings as well. 5th pick is still in play
Indiana is smart. Trading Sabonis and keeping Turner is the right move. Also Turner was sacrificing numbers playing with Sabonis. He can easily put up 18/10 if you give him more shots and don't park him on the perimeter on offense. That's a great trade for Indiana.
The Kings on the other hand will probably win more games, find out that Sabonis/Holmes doesn't work. Then proceed to start Sabonis at the 5 while running an efficient offense with a lay up line on defense that makes them win just enough games to somehow get the 10th seed next season
Sabonis is a very good player. My problem is fit, but mostly Fox. Fox hasn't done to get you to the playoffs, while Haliburton is already running the team most of the time and is only in his second year and growing.
Kings have been in the lottery for like 13 straight years. They should be booted for a year.
