Why have the Sacramento Kings NOT made a BIG move?

Why have the Sacramento Kings NOT made a BIG move?

CRI Clippers and what they gave up to get Paul George and what the Thunder received in moving off of Paul George so far Chris it was Danilo galinari Shay gilis Alexander one of their first round picks from 2022 which ended up turning into Jaylen Williams they still have three more first round picks coming my goodness yeah all that that after all that and I mean that’s you know and I know yeah they drafted Jayla Williams with one of those picks I mean that’s absolutely absurd and that’s you know this is literally the the shining example of I mean you know there is a good amount of Kings fans who definitely fall into this but just in general across the NBA everybody says just Lori marinin just ship off all your picks and just go get him Monty McNair go make the deal done you you you cowardly coward ly GM like just ship off the picks well this is what could happen is that you you trade for I mean we’ll just make this real you trade for Brandon Ingram or you trade for uh Kyle kozma Jeremy Grant and you ship off two or three second first round picks unprotected and they become real players and then this player that you trade for leaves after a couple years this is why it’s tough for teams like Sacramento to do this because this is La Paul George is from LA and he’s leaving that situation to go find greener pastures you know it’s not crazy to think if the kings were to do that and you know Brandon Ingram is is actually the perfect example because his contract’s up after this season the Kings can now the the hope is they trade for him they immediately sign him to a new extension and maybe that’s the hold up in what’s going on right now but what if Brandon Ingram says much like OG and an newbie ah you know I’m going to test free agency no matter what I’m not saying I don’t want to stay Sacramento but I’m going kick the tires on it you run the risk of trading off all of your best assets and yeah you might get a couple good years but even that I don’t know if people are saying that the Clippers run was successful they had a lot of good years never got past the second round and so that’s kind of the risk you run and that’s got to be the uh the the alternate universe that you have to be willing to live with it’s not just going to be all sunshines and rainbows and lollipops if you trade for a star player sometimes you trade for the star player and crazy things happen in in the era that that he’s in and uh yeah I think it’s just a cautionary tale it’s definitely not saying don’t do it because at the same time on the same token you’ve gotta you’ve got to pay to play so you’ve got to be willing to to do these kind of things and take that kind of risk but I think this is also why Monty has been so calculated in who specifically he wants to go for because he understands we really only have one shot at this and if we mess it up you could end up like the like the Clippers did and you know if if the best case scenario is maybe you do something that hasn’t been done here in its entire history yeah and to that point and we know this firsthand these bigger markets and obviously the Clippers aren’t the Lakers but they’re still in LA right they still have the possibilities of the big name free agents you give up your picks if you are a smaller Market team or a team that is just not on the same level as the the Celtics of the world and the Lakers of the world and teams like that that’s all you got so if you gave up all those picks because Danny a ain’t going to lose a trade yeah and then marketing does walk or you just don’t have the success that you think you’d want you’re stuck yeah because those those picks that’s how you get better it is very important to hit on picks when you are uh the level of a a Sacramento Kings or a Portland Trailblazer something like that and now you don’t have them so you have to be even more cautious than say some of these other teams like the Miami Heat and teams like that where they are Des more desirable places to go and you know you can still okay or the Knicks right we can we can swing and Miss as much as we want because we’re always gonna have the possibility of getting a free agent so our picks are whatever maybe that’s why the Knicks felt more comfortable doing that maau Bridges deal and and other teams wouldn’t feel comfortable to do something like that yeah no absolutely and to that point too when good teams are good they they they definitely attract the free agents look at the Lakers like Lakers aren’t even really that good and there’s Klay Thompson still talking about yeah I would be willing to take a minimum in order or a vet Min a mid-level exception in order to go there just because yeah it’s La I have good feelings about the Lakers because my dad played there and won a championship there he’s a broadcaster there uh and I would use the magic as a cautionary tale of exactly what you’re saying like Orlando they’ve drafted fantastic and they were uh I say they were skittish but they decided not to make trades to improve their team they said you know what we have a lot of money in free agency coming up we just had a really good season that we think people paid attention to we actually think we’re going to kill it in free agency this year there’s not a lot of good situations out there we have Paul George potentially coming to Orlando we have Klay Thompson potentially coming to Orlando we’re gonna maybe try and get Malik monk to sign with the Orlando Magic maybe we’ll get some combination of it all Tobias Harris too and where are they sitting right now they’ve signed kcp and that’s it Paul George is going to Philly Clay’s going to either Dallas or the Lakers Malik stayed here Tobias Harris went to Detroit for 26 mil a year that’s the risk you run if you’re going to try and build this thing out in free agency and you know yeah it’s it’s really tough if you’re a small Market to build these things out man it it’s just you know you never know what these specific star players are going to want what they’re going to want to value and uh yeah it’s it’s why teams like Sacramento you’re best two Avenues of bringing people in are by taking the choice of the players out of their hands you draft them or you trade for them and you tell them you’re going to be in this situation and you’re going to grow to love it and and I think that’s usually what happens but it’s just really really tough if you’re not one of these Major Market teams to convince any of these free agents to sign with your team in free agency 916 33914 phone lines are heating up let’s get to TC who wants to be a part of the conversation as we open up the phone TC what you got for us Allan Chris what’s up what’s up man how you feeling free agency time oh yeah it is man hey man try to tell you B Dog it’s heating up man it’s gonna be heating up oh no oh sounds like I know I know I know you dropped for a second but we got you back but it’s it’s gonna be toasty I’m I’m ready though I’m ready TC hey bro listen what I got on trade listen hey everybody be patient the bi is the move man money is seems like we’re trying to work a 1 minute to get more assets going their way or whatnot but the the Pelicans I’ve been listening to their I’ve been listening to a lot bro not believing in you know looking into a lot of things though but they’re ready just to give that dude away for nothing man they’re acting like he’s just some like rag dog and they’re ready to get rid of him and hey another man’s trash is another man’s treasure what they like to say man so be of the Kings is legitimate monk I love what monk did Monk’s not caring about that everybody’s like monk signing back with the Kings because he wants to be here he knows the fan base we love him everything about that dude but he’s also thinking like bro I can get this 80 million that’s on the table right now and then we can negotiate after my third year I can get I’m G get two bags from the Kings so he’s playing as smart everybody’s worried about quickly and all these people that got signed before mon like monk could it took the money monk is thinking about I’m in a situation where we can make real noise I can get my bag now and I got a bag later and I’m around my bro Fox my I love the coach like it’s a lot going on for us bro that’s good but I know I’m rambling but bi is a moo dog monk did us a favor but he loves the city everybody don’t trip on that that’s all I got thanks for the call TC yeah monk coming back and I was listening to the the morning show Chris and you know as we were going through the they were going through what had been done so far for the Kings and you really can’t sleep on the Malik monk thing and I and I do wonder if the Kings didn’t think Malik monk was coming back in their heart of hearts and they got this as a surprise could that and I know it’s still early I know it’s still early but could that be making them feel as if it is not as crucial to get that big name because they thought that maybe Malik monk was gone so they would have to go get somebody else and now that you at Malik monk I don’t know it’s still early it’s still early they shouldn’t feel like that don’t get me wrong no I don’t think so I mean they had Malik last year and they ran it back and I think they saw the results there’s no way that they would think that you know and Monty said it you know like losing to the war or beating the Warriors and losing in the play in I’m glad to see that’s not good enough I think they all know that they’re not going to run this situation back and I mean I feel like we’re all forgetting that you know I feel like the roles are reversed I was the one freaking out after that Davon trade trying to figure out what’s going on what’s going on and everyone you know was like oh this is clearly a sign that something’s coming and now everything is reversed I’m the one saying clearly something is coming and everybody’s saying what is wrong what is wrong what is wrong there’s they are planning they are positioning themselves to make a move it’s just people have lost their mind seeing everybody else move in the Kings being not being patient I think that it’s just the process playing out you know TC said you know there are reports that the king that the uh that the Pelicans are looking for a third team because they want a backup center in an Ingram deal Kings don’t have a backup center to offer them and so they have to try and find a market and find a player that they like and then find how the team can fit that player into the trade and make everything work do they want Kevin herder do the Pelicans want Kevin hder it’s a process it takes time and we’re only a day into free agency it is June 1st and or July 1 and free agency started July 30th so you know if maybe by the end of this week nothing’s been done we can definitely all freak out but I just think it’s a little bit of impatience right now from Kings fans which I totally understand but I just think that there’s a little bit too many people I was hoping especially you know we were so measured after the Devin Carter selection thought everybody did a great job of collectively taking a breath feels like we we wasted our breath back then because everybody is freaking out right now coming up next we continue the conversation is the big move coming for Sacramento Chris and I will talk about what we’ve been here and what our sources are telling us Doug we see you we will get to you on the other side Styles and Watkins sack Down Sports on the Move got some
