The Kings are EMBARRASSING Themselves…
The Sacramento Kings are frankly embarrassing themselves as a report has dropped from Shams the athletic that breaks down what was going on with the escalation of trade talks between the Toronto Raptors and Sacramento Kings ahead of their game a couple nights ago so we’re going to break down what the
Kings had to offer what the deal was essentially centered around because frankly it is embarrassing what they were asking for in an all NBA guy in Pascal seak and what they were trying to offer up what they were trying to finesse the torona Raptors with was frankly Madness but before dive into
That folks again over 56% of our viewers are not subscribed to the channel you guys have been crushing it hitting that sub button and we’re getting very close to that 32,000 subscriber Mark we can get a lot of new viewers so if you’re new to the channel and you’re enjoying
The content would mean the world to me if you guys could hit that subscribe button but let’s dive into the news because frankly we have some Madness coming out of the Sacramento Kings it’s basically Shams came out with a report today saying that he’s told that the
Raptors and kings were in active trade conversations about a pascal cakam trade revolving around Harrison Barnes at this point the only way it ignites is if the Toronto Raptors come back to Sacramento so apparently all the excitement all of the ramping up trade talks was just for the
Sacramento Kings who obviously are in a position to where they’re acquiring the best player in any trade package obviously Dean Fox nor demonto sabonis will be in any seak and potential trade as it would make sense for them to acquire Pascal seak and let one of those
Guys go so basically the kings were hoping to acquire Pascal sakam rev rev it all up get on the phones with Messi probably inviting him down for a special meeting there in Sacramento because we all saw that Messi was their Courtside or at least was around the game in
Sacramento during that game made him fly all the way out to the West Coast over there in Sacramento and offered him Harrison Barnes what’s what is that in what world do you think Miss SAU Jerry a a guy that’s you know one of the top GM’s presidents of basketball operations
His titles have changed over the course of the years what on Earth went through the Sacramento King’s front office’s brains and said hey we’re going to be able to get a deal done surrounding a deal about Harrison Barnes I mean where what logic what world would that make
Sense for the Toronto Raptors I mean looking at Harrison Barn stats he’s not a horrible player by any means 31 years old but 11 points game three rebounds one assists so again he’s a guy that can space the floor he shoots the three ball very well shoots the free throw you know
Very well doesn’t attack the rim that much anymore isn’t getting those crazy dunks like he used to but Harrison Burns is a solid role player you know an average starter in the NBA but it’s not like you’re getting some crazy deals some baller on a budget in Harrison
Barrance if he does end up coming back to the Toronto Raptors because the only reason that You’ even contemplate this is if Pascal cakam is sort of a dude that you don’t want to pay and you think the cap situation just won’t work out but I mean looking at his contract he’s
Not cheap he’s not a player that’s sort of uh a complete just on a steal of a contract 17 million 18 million 19 million for the next three seasons so you don’t even get cap relief following this off year I mean why he’s older than Pascal he’s
Worse than Pascal in pretty well every aspect of the basketball game besides shooting the three and frankly I I’m not sold that Pascal is as bad of a three-point shooter as the numbers have indicated and I’ve brought this up on a multitude of podcasts and a multitude of
Videos because frankly I think he’s been asked to take too many shots from you know where he’s creating above the break sort of contested threes I mean if Pascal cakam was getting the shots Harrison Barnes was sort of Taken night in Night Out basis then he’d probably be
Shooting maybe not 40% but definitely a lot higher than his current averages show I mean his percentages have been gradually increasing since the acquisition of Emanuel quickly and RJ Barrett so the king thought they could just come in and sort of make an off around Barnes I mean maybe there’s some draft Capital
Included and Sacramento Kings first round picks were much more valuable prior to their sort of Renaissance and the the King’s age but to offer a deal like this I don’t even care of the draft Capital unless you’re getting you know four or five firsts but I feel like that
Would be something brought up in a Shams discussion you know centered around Harrison Barnes no it would be centered around a bunch of first round draft capital and we know that Messi Jerry isn’t that interested in that so I feel like he wouldn’t even acknowledge or fly all the way down to
Sacramento if that were to be the case but I mean where what world would we be accepting a Harrison barens deal but the second part of this which is interesting because again I I think it’s an embarrassing offer it just is foolishness coming from the Sacramento
Kings to think that this is a reasonable offer to the Toronto Raptors even if herder even if Davon Mitchell are involved in that package it doesn’t really make sense for the Toronto Raptors but then again you look at the second half of this and then the only
Way it ignites nights again is if Toronto comes back to Sacramento so the kings are essentially done reaching out to Toronto about potential Deals they said they’ve given their cap offer and Harrison Barnes and clearly that leaves one player to be off the table and that is Keegan Murray so I’d imagine Messiah
Jerry probably went down there thinking okay the Kings really want Pascal the negotiations the talks probably got some wink Winks like oh yeah we’re about to give you a juicy offer a nice little deal and then it’s Harrison Barnes Ms Jerry probably thought Keegan Murray could potentially be involved in that
Package and it’s probably the only reason this deal was taken seriously whatsoever and I guess it’s off the table and the Kings aren’t willing to even negotiate or talk about Keegan Murray being in a potential package and I mean I get that Keegan Murray is a
Young star I get that he is a player that you wouldn’t want to give up but you have to come to these trade negotiations with a bit of Common Sense and maybe this is all a leverage a power play you know in trade negotiations cuz clearly they’ve been talking clearly
Talks have been ramped up at a certain point but maybe this is all sort of postering through the media postering through Shams Shams has been a guy that has been you used as a tool a lot lately in terms of uh negotiating in the public sphere but the fact that Sacramento
Kings sort of uh are engaged in these trade discussions and are writing it off saying kikam Murray is involved it’s just a waste of time people say missu Jerry wastes people’s time in terms of trade talks and rumors and things like that always evaluating well you know
What the kings are doing it back to the Toronto Raptors here now at this point and it it’s pretty pretty crazy it’s pretty I don’t know I I was shocked to see that that was the thing that was getting everyone hyped about including myself I was you know the way it was
Worded the way these reports were coming out me it seemed like a deal was imminent and the Kings maybe gave in on a ke and Murray sort of package but frankly I still of the belief that I don’t want to trade away Pascal cakam I know there’s going to be people in the
Comments saying hey Ben why you always talk I my stance has remained pretty well the St same regardless of the reports that have come out unless we’re we are blown away with a deal unless we are sent something amazing I I’m not interested in dealing with Pascal give
Him his max give him whatever contract he’s sort of looking for and run forward with it in the future but let me know what you guys think because frankly the the rumors are getting pretty wild here now at this point we just played the Golden State Warriors in fact we crushed
The Golden State Warriors and they look like a team that is currently in shambles if we do make a trade with a Golden State Warriors and kaminga back it feels like Gary Trent Jr will probably be Happ to be on his way out given the way they collided in the
Recent game I mean the Mavs have been linked a little bit more as of late as well they’ve had one of the top odds as well I mean you know unless we’re getting Lively there at the center position I’m not that interested in a lot of what they have on the roster I
Mean I am really encouraged by what we’ve seen with this Raptors group we got a tough test against the LA Lakers tomorrow night so we’ll see how that all shakes out but I want to know how you guys are feeling are you guys swung a little bit by how the Raptors have been
Playing as of late because frankly with the exception of that Kings game where I we played really well in that game as well the Kings just hit some ridiculous shots we’re hitting some dumb stuff the Kings the the Toronto Raptors were having absolutely crushing it under this
New era of basketball so let me know what you guys think in the comments section down below you guys the best make this far again subscribe to the channel if you’re new here means the world to me anyways I’m signing out cheers
The Toronto Raptors were reported to be ramping up trade talks with the Sacramento Kings a couple weeks ago and now a new report has revealed what the Kings were really offering. Ben Rogers breaks it all down!

why the hell would we trade for Harrison Barbes considering he’s OLDER than Siakam when we’ve clearly stated we wanna be younger. Are the kings deaf?
OG's trade allows his salary allocation to cover RJs and pays for IQ raise. Between the cap rising and if you get rid of GTjr salary, that pays for PS raise to $45 mil. They stay under the tax for next year
Pascal will walk for nothing. The front office stopped talking to him over the summer and he is an expiring. You can't get much for an expiring that wants paid and could walk away from your team in the summer. You will get filler contracts and a pick or two if you are lucky.
NBA hates Toronto there’s no way that trade offer wasn’t just a coordinated troll
Im not a Pascal fan buts it’s simple just extend him if a team wants to trade a haul in the Summer or next year do be but keep him to help keep the roster competitive
Let me guess….A video where a 3 month rental of Siakam is overvalued by a Raptor's fan
Lol, this guy said Lively for Siakam smh. That's would be one step forward two steps back for the mavericks 🤦🏿♂️
The embarrassing thing is that you thought that a 3 month rental of Siakam was going to garner Keegan Murray. LOLOLOLOLOLOL.
This offer should tell Toronto fans what the trade market is for Siakam. Not that much
This team looks like it can go on a run we have 8/9 players set now jontay is the key to the propaganda better than precious for sure at pick n pops. Wait till buyouts and waive the vets free up some cap to spend.
Shams credibility is shot if this is what he considers an offer from a “serious suitor” 😂😂
If he doesn’t resign he’s worth nothing, that’s the best offer he’s gonna get
Assuming there were 1st round picks involved but still this is nonsensical
Raptors not getting Keegan. Siakam is most likely a 1 year rental. That's not enough for Keegan lmao
Don't believe a word Shams says. Never believed a thing the start
They look at Siakam as a rental! Why would you give up the farm for a few months. Siakam is not signing in Sacramento. Toronto waited too long to trade him. His free agency is scaring away decent offers. There is nothing wrong with this offer. You won't get much more.
Does no one have a head here? They weren’t asking a 1 for 1 HB for siakam swap, that’s ridiculous. He’s salary filler so siakam can be traded along with younger players or draft picks. Sadly I don’t think the kings would give up Keegan Murray so I’m not really interested in trading with them at all. Talk about common sense
The kings are embarrassing themselves ? 😂 how we are not going to trade keegan Murray on a cheap deal for. 4 month rental ! Siakam said he wasn’t going to resign with Sacramento so it was a done deal 😂 relax mijo
Pascal siakam 4 month rental is not worth as much as you guys think .. warriors didn’t even want to offer kuminga 😂😂😂
You guys are not getting more then a Barnes , Kevin huerter , a 1st rd pick and swap for pascal type offer ! Warriors didn’t offer kuminga , mavs are not offering lively , and pacers are not offering mathurin, kings set the tone !
Lol this guy will never get off of YouTube in this field, making reports like this. And raptors fans think Siakim is some top 10 player in the league. You’re not getting Keegan, who locked up Siakim, for a one year rental and you’re not getting Monk, who is a lead candidate for 6MOY. Raptors have NO leverage, so you get a low offer. It’s the business.
you must be high if you think ANY team would trade assets of keegan’s caliber for half a season of pascal j for him to potentially walk
bottom line is….either sign that extension or get traded..can't risk losing him for nothing in FA, and if he onlywnats to sign with the Raps but no extension, then trade him and resign him in the offseason
I don't think you guy's are looking at the bigger picture. What did you really expect to get for someone who's only guaranteed for 6 months? I know you think you deserve Murray and a bunch of draft picks and if there was a year or two contract in place then maybe. But for just the remainder of the season don't expect much. Why do you think all the other teams are declining the trade?
Its better to keep him than trade him for nothing. What ya think about Murray ?
Idk how the kings are embarrassing themselves when you want a young talent and drafts picks for a guy who doesn’t even have two years on his deal. He literally has half a season left. The kings would be a joke if they traded Murry for that. I mean that respectfully too. Siakam is a great player. But your gm waited too long. You guys should just keep him and try to do a resign. Your best option is probably GS
Dude keagan its no common sense cause pascal is a free agent, any team that will tradebfor him knows its a rental.
Raptors would be lucky to get a late first round pick at this point. Masai has about a month to get something of value for Siakam or he will get nothing and Raptors have no interest in signing him to the max as he is too old to fit with their core. Pistons went through the same thing with Jerami Grant. Dubs should offer CP3, Moody, and a FRP.
We aren’t getting rid of Keegan Murray for an expiring deal.
