Brett Siegel says Zach LaVine to Sacramento “is still a viable scenario”

[Music] welcome back Drive guys drapes and Jay here on sack toown Sports 1140 our guy Kevin gleon YY he’ll be back tomorrow holding it down is me and Jay my pleasure right now to uh welcome in Brett seagull of clutch points and uh first of all Brett thanks for coming on the show what’s that Jersey behind you there big fella where’s that from high school intramural what’s that number 20 from behind you that is a Louisville Cardinal jersey number 20 the year I graduated from Louisville I was a student manager there for Chris Mack and his staff so uh number one in the country then and ultimately the tournament got canceled that year we weren’t able to pursue our national championship aspirations but I always have that hanging right next to me as a friendly reminder that we were going to the final four that year you were man hey man I I used to uh work in Louisville back in the day uh w television when Rick patino was the coach I was a sports director out there and so uh glad you uh are on the show always got love for Louisville is that where you from oh no it’s not I’m from uh New Jersey oh sorry to hear that sorry to hear that I’m from Philly and you know we look down on people from Jersey I’m joking with you hey man yeah yeah we’re I might ask you a Sixers question here coming up in just a minute but first let’s start with my Sacramento Kings I maintain this is an important week for Sacramento Brett when you look at having a number 13 overall pick do they keep it do they swing a trade uh what’s your uh Vibe this week for Sacramento and and what moves they could make this week well it’s not just a big week for the Sacramento Kings it’s a huge off season and the the reason for that is because of all the money that they have out there already they gave sabonis that big extension and obviously you wanted to get Fox and lock him up on a big extension but that doesn’t seem like it’s going to be the case anymore as dearon fox wants to see what this team is going to look like the athletic had a recent Story come out today or yesterday on that talking about Fallout of them being involved in the Alex Caruso talks and ultimately the Bulls sending him to the Oklahoma City Thunder for Josh Giddy and no draft picks meanwhile the kings are actively looking to trade their 13th pick in this year’s draft and they were involved in talks that would have sent that pick to the Chicago Bulls and now after falling out on Caruso what kind of options are available because the Kings don’t have all that much room and that much ability to move contracts you got guys like Harrison Barnes and Kevin herder but they don’t have much of a market out there of teams really being interested in those guys if they are going to trade for them it’s going to be more of trading for those contracts and you look at where they’re at Harrison Barnes he’s still got two more years left on his current deal he’s on on the books for 18 million this upcoming season then Kevin herder two more years on his deal just slightly underneath Barnes I believe it’s around 17 million that he’s on the books there so what moves can the kings make I think it’s going to be a decision that comes right up to draft night and I think that it’s not only because of who becomes available but which players are going to be on the board this year’s draft in particular is so volatile in in the definition of you don’t know who’s going to be there past the 10th pick you don’t know who’s going to be there past 11 and 12 it just really depends on what happens at the very top starting with the Hawks at number one join by Brett seagull clutch points NBA insid and reporter BR I’m glad you brought up here HB and Kevin herder because around here in Sacramento they they are the names that are always tossed out as trade bait just from your standpoint your opinion you’re you’re in the circles of the NBA what have you heard their value being because around we have a joke here on this team that they’re like the Toyota Corolla you know they’re they’re a Toyota but they’re the base Toyota Corolla we know they’re they’re going to run for you know forever but they don’t have any Pizzaz what are you hearing from inside the circles the NBA circles well the the biggest thing with the Kings is that if you’re going to move on from one of them and presumably you’re going to do so to upgrade your Roost if you’re the Kings you’re probably going to have to attach that 13th overall pick to it you may even have to attach some future compensation to it if you are going to go out and get one of these big names on the market but again it just really depends on who’s going to be available we’ve heard the talk of Zack LaVine possibly being a target for the Sacramento Kings that hasn’t gone away I I’ve been told that that’s still a viable scenario if the Kings want to pursue it obviously the Bulls are willing to move on from LaVine but now that Caruso can no longer be included in the deal I’m not sure that that would be as much of anal healing situation for Sacramento at this juncture obviously though you can still package Barnes and herder together you can get to a $30 million threshold right there attached to 13th pickle and all of a sudden you have a very lucrative lucrative package for a guy that’s making anywhere in that 28 to 32 33 million range as far as their value it’s hard to project simply because I don’t see any one of those guys herder or Barnes being traded straight up for another player I think this is a situation where it would be a package deal package with a draft pick maybe even that 13th overall pick like we discussed and then go from there of seeing who’s going to be available on the open market I would expect the Kings to be in negotiations and be in talks on the phone Draft pick on draft night and I’m gonna throw another name at you I think that Jeremy Grant with the Portland Trailblazers is another name that the king should pursue I think that he would be an excellent fit for Mike Brown system and I think that he’s widely available a lot more available than people tend to believe at this point what you think it would take to get a guy like that I think it’s going to take multiple draft picks I don’t think that Portland is going to make a trade just for the sake of making a trade and obviously they do have the seventh and 14th pick in this year’s draft so what would really the 13th pick do for them unless they’re planning on moving up even further in this draft to maybe go after a guy like Donovan kingan at the top at the top of the draft board and the Hawks have interest in kinging there’s been Talk of the Spurs possibly interested in him at four and even the Grizzlies are a team that’s looking to trade up along with the blaz so I think that if Portland has ideas of moving up they would be interested in that 13th overall pick but it would most likely take more from the Kings it would most likely take a future first round pick maybe even some second round picks so is Jeremy Grant worth that price that’s something that the Kings would have to discuss internally BR it’s interesting you throw out Jeremy Grant and Zack LaVine and to me when you throw out names like that no disrespect to because we we love Zack LaVine here on the show in this drive guys we’ve been politicking for Zack for a long time but these guys aren’t Top Flight you know they’re not Mel Bridges they aren’t Kent Miss guys they have something going on Zack LaVine to a lot of people has some type of injury you know being injury-prone missing 10 15 20 games of season of course he coming off a major injury are there any opportunity for the Kings if we look at their three or four draft picks you know down to four future draft picks or this 13 to where maybe they might be able to bump up and maybe go grab somebody like a Mikel Bridget or you know uh a Brandon Ingram someone who may be in a higher tier than a Zack LaVine or Jeremy Grant I I certainly think that Brandon Ingram would be a viable candidate there I think that he’s available for the right price and there really hasn’t been a market for Brandon Ingram to this point there haven’t been teams lining up and knocking on the Pelicans door to to try to get Brandon Ingram and offering up multiple first round picks because they know that Ingram wants to test free agency next year he’s in the final year of his contract he’s going to be an underst red free agent in 2025 and early indications right now point in the direction of him not wanting to sign an extension during the 24-25 season so you’d essentially be paying all of this assets giving up all these assets for a guy in the final year of his contract yeah Brandon Ingram is a great scorer but do you really want to run the risk of giving up all that only for him to leave in free agency next year and I think that’s where the concern lies with Brandon Ingram right now and you look at other guys around the league Mel Bridges I’ve heard is just completely off limits I don’t see any area in which the Nets give him up this off season unless they’re completely blown away with Rudy goar times two size package there so I just don’t see that being a scenario that any team would really pursue and then you look at Ingram that that’s really the name that people are focused on of what are the Pelicans going to do here there there’s talk that they could move up in the draft there’s talk that they could potentially move out of their pick in the 20s and gather second round assets what what are they really planning there because you have Zion Williamson you still have CJ McCollum and obviously Trey Murphy’s guy that they believe can be an All-Star quality Talent which is why they have interest in moving on from Brandon Ingram this offseason and cutting cost while they can so that that’s really where I’m looking at heading into the draft is is Brandon Ingram going to be on the move over the next few days and talking with people in League circles I think that there is a possibility that he could be moved and I’m looking at a team either like the Atlanta Hawks or a team like the Utah Jazz who are in the market for a big name star this offseason Brett seagull of clutch points uh joining us here on the drive guys uh Brett you know you you bring up you know talk about Ingram and I’m looking at the Kings their salary structure and this is something you touched on a bit ago dearon Fox is going to get an extension at some point probably not this offseason but next offseason that’s going to pay up more than 40 50 million a year so bonus is at 2117 million you’re GNA have to resign Keegan Murray do you think the Kings because because of those future contracts are sort of uh hamstrung on what they can do from a financial aspect taking in a guy like a Jeremy Grant who’s going to be paid 33 34 35 million in the coming years should we be looking more at the 20 million doll kind of player yes and no I I think that there’s advantages and disadvantages to both scenarios and obviously Target a guy like Jeremy Grant would be huge for the Sacramento Kings he’d be that secondary score that you need next to dearon Fox you can put him on the wing he can defend virtually any position out there and he would fit Mike Brown’s system really well he he’d pretty much take Harrison Barnes Spot while being more of a productive scorer than Kevin herder and I think that’s a two for one right there if you were to get a guy like Jeremy Grant but I think that for the kings of looking at your financial situation I don’t necessarily know if they’re looking three four five years from now and worrying about that I think this is a situation where Monty McNair and the front office really want to prove that this past year was a fluke that they didn’t make the playoffs this team is primed to make the playoffs and they’re going to be doing everything they can to make the playoffs so I think that we’re going to see moves made by the Kings this offseason whether it’s one or two trades made to bring in established talents that can complement guys like damont sabonis and dearon fox they want to win and that’s they have a sense of urgency in Sacramento I’m sure you guys can feel that being around the organization and that’s going to be the point of emphasis for them leading up to this draft which is why that 13th pick is in play obviously there’s just so many unknowns this offseason because there’s teams wanting to cut cost there’s teams want wanting to stay under the second apron and that could lead to certain Stars being on the move one of which that I’ll throw out there right now is Paul George I’m not saying that the kings are gonna want to pursue Paul George speak an existence the Kings want Paul George they can go get him and Paul George’s situation right now is not looking very good for the Clippers it looks like that if he does opt in they’re going to be seeking trade opportunities there to get him off the books because they want to give him Kawhi Lander like money and if the Kings want to and they see Paul George being a fit they can go out and get him man BR speaking some good news out there from King’s fans what what was your take of of course not being here on the West Coast and being on the East Coast what was your take of the Malik monk contract signing and him returning to Sacramento it was surprising but at the same time it wasn’t and I say that because Malik monk has always wanted to stay in Sacramento he’s ushered those words ever since they lost in the play in tournament he’s said in his postgame press conference that he wanted to stay in Sacramento the city loves him he loves the city so seeing him take less money to stay with the Kings is not surprising but what was surprising was the figure on that contract because that’s going to set the stage for some of these other guys in free agency maybe there’s guys that now get more money than was projected because of the amount that Malik monk got and I think that it’s just a domino effect this offseason in particular of guys getting certain kinds of contracts and getting certain guaranteed money on their deals because of those first few deals at trickle in and we can look at Malik monk we can look at Pascal seak those are going to really be the baselines that other teams now compare their players to so I I think that it’s a good deal for the Kings I think that it’s not a a long-term deal that ties them down financially I think that it’s pretty generous for them and I think that based on his production and being a six-man of the Year candidate I think that this is exactly what they needed you you don’t lose out on that bench scoring production behind Fox you bring back a guy that wants to be there and now you’re going to make a run for the playoffs again Brett seagull of clutch points uh joining us uh NBA Insider and reporter Brett who are some of the other names uh that might be on the Move I’m hearing everybody in Atlanta might be on the move or available other than uh uh DeAndre Hunter maybe or not not gandre Hunter uh Johnson uh down there uh I’m hearing things out of Milwaukee uh give me some names that you expect to be moved here uh in the next couple of weeks yeah Atlanta is certainly team at the Forefront of many other organizations minds and you look at Trey young and dejonte Murray right away I’ve personally been told that they don’t want to trade Trey young but again anything can happen in this league if they’re offered the right package and they can’t turn it down that’s going to be something that they explore but dejonte Murray is certainly more of a player that they would like to deal if they are to cut costs this offseason Clint capella is at the front of their list they want to potentially move Clint capella and there’s been all that talk of them potentially drafting Donovan clinging or Alex SAR at the top of the draft so it would make sense if they moved on from capella this off season looking in the Western Conference I think that it’s going to be interesting because you have that Paul George situation that I laid out you have the Houston Rockets who are looking to be aggressive and I would never count out the Memphis Grizzlies for making a move either Zach climing and that front office are always very aggressive during the draft they move up and down the draft board and this is an organization that is going to be primed to make a playoff Pursuit once again they got hit really hard by the injury bug this season you had John Moran out Desmond Bane Marcus Smart who they recently got was out for more than half the year with his finger injury and then you still have jiren Jackson there and you got some really good young talents you got Santi Alama zier Williams so I think that the Grizzlies can be a sleeper team in the west I could easily see them rising up and claiming a top four seat again in the west and I wouldn’t count out them making a big move either because you still have Luke Canard on the books you still have Brandon Clark those are two contracts that you could possibly move with some draft picks to bring bring in another solidified talent to really make a strong push in the Western Conference playoff picture yeah man I think we we agree Memphis is scary Brett they they’re definitely scary I one of the teams that’s around here and that they have a few names that’s on the Move could be on the move Look the sign Golden State Warriors with Klay Thompson being up in the market we’ve heard Chris Paul of course they just guarantee Kayon Looney’s contract today they they have a lot of movement what’s what’s your take on where clay goes what do you think goes it’s a very unique situation because Klay Thompson during the year much like Malik monk with the Kings said that he wanted to be with the Warriors he wants to be a warrior for Life Stephen Curry Draymond Green Steve Kerr they’ve all been behind the scenes advocating for clay to come back but this is a different front office than what’s been there with the Warriors in recent years Mike dun leevy inherited it from Bob Meers and quite honestly it was a little bit of a mess of what he inherited in terms of the financial situation they brought in Chris Paul you have that non-guaranteed contract they could potentially opt into and move if they were to bring back Klay Thompson so I I do think that as of right now the direction that they’re trending with no deal being on the table no offer being there ahead of free agency it does really seem like Klay Thompson is going to give a strong sense and thought to leaving the Warriors this offseason and look at other offers from teams in the eastern and western conference as well could that potentially be a leverage play to get more and get what he wants from the Warriors potentially it could be and I do know that the Warriors still want Klay Thompson back they just don’t want to pay that kind of price that they paid to Stephen Curry and Draymond Green to retain him so could he potentially take less on a team friendly deal I don’t think he’s going to I think that he’s going to demand a higher price and whether or not the Warriors are willing to pay that that’s going to be the ultimate driving force for the Warriors franchise because if they don’t resign Klay Thompson and he leaves in free agency now all of a sudden you have Kavon Looney’s contract you have Chris Paul’s contract maybe even Andrew Wiggins those are guys that you could potentially look to trade to bring in another big name and one guy that I’ve been told to watch and I reported on that over the weekend is Paul George they could potentially pursue George if Thompson is to leave I would say that’s more of a pipe dream at this point than anything else but again it all depends on which dominoes fall and in which direction they do fall Brett seagull of clutch points uh joining us Brett I was going to ask you about you know potential packages that the uh Warriors could offer you know are are do they have better assets than the Kings right now cu they offer up a kaminga would they be willing to include a guy like that in a big deal I think that they do have better assets than the kings in terms of pursuing a star at this time obviously not not from a draft pick perspective I wouldn’t say I would think that the Kings picks are probably a little more lucrative than what the Warriors can offer but from a player standpoint you got Moses Moody you have a guy like Brandon psky if you wanted to move on from him he played really well in his rookie season and all rookie campaign there you still got guys like Wiggins Chris Paul whose contract is really attractive not only to move again for another team but there’s interest from Los Angeles and Paul even before he went to the Warriors of a reunion there so I think that there’s multiple scenarios that they could look at if they were to pursue Paul George but I think that there’s even more scenarios for the Warriors across the league of leveraging guys like Chris Paul Andrew Wiggins Moses Moody and trade talks to potentially bring in another star or another guy making 20 to $25 million in that range even if you are to bring back Klay Thompson there’s a scenario where you could bring back Thompson and potentially move move on from Paul Kon Looney and and some of those other guys to bring in another established player and pursue another championship late in these guys careers so I think that the Warriors front office have a lot of decisions to make between now and the draft I think that they have a lot of decisions to make between the draft and free agency Brett before we get you on out of here someone that I’ve been completely bullish on here and someone I would like to you know maybe see enter our organization here in the Sacramento Kings and he has a lot of baggage but his name is his name it has a little value on the court that’s miles bridges are you hearing anything any movement any type of situation where Miles Bridges could be could be had I do I I think that there’s a viable Market out there for Miles Bridges I think that there’s a handful of teams interested in his services but he’s going to come out a price he he came off another good year and granted he’s had all that off the court drama with the domestic violence case that’s that’s caused some teams to not even consider him as a free agent just from an organizational belief there’s some teams that don’t want to deal with that drama but there’s a team like the Detroit Pistons who have shown interest in Miles bridges in the past they could be willing to offer him 2025 million a year and I think that’s kind of the price range that we’re looking at for Bridges so if the Kings wanted to get him that would most likely be a sign in trade scenario where they would have to give up Kevin herder probably the 13th pick in the draft maybe even a guy like Davon Mitchell to make that happen and now you’re hard capped because you got miles bridges in a signing trade so I I don’t necessarily know if that’s an Avenue that Monty MC and the Kings want to go but it’s certainly there and certainly a possibility if Bridges is the guy at the top of their wish list Brett seag go delivering some some Jewels out here on a Monday uh Brett I’ll leave it uh with this uh this question with you um this week you expect a lot of movement in the NBA oh yeah it’s gonna be a very busy week I think that we’re GNA see numerous trades made during the draft both including established talents and teams moving up and down the draft board and then once free agency begins once those first few dominoes start falling we could start seeing even more trades and and guys like Paul George if he’s going to be on the Move guys like Brandon Ingram and dejonte Murray if they’re not traded on draft night I think this is going to be a very eventful offseason I think it’s going to be a lot more eventful than people are making out to be and I’ll say this about the draft too I think that there’s Talent up and down this draft board there may not be a Victor wanyama or an Anthony Edwards at the top of the draft board but there’s guys that I could see having double digit year careers in the NBA and guys and a lot of playoff teams right now so I think that it’s going to be a lot deeper draft than many are making it look like and we kind of said the same thing a few years ago in 2020 and that turned out to be a pretty good draft then so I I do think that we’re going to see movement and I think that we’re going to see plenty of new upcoming talents coming into the league Brad uh Before I Let You Go real one last one one last one I know I can keep you here all afternoon because we’re ending on the draft here the draft obviously starts Wednesday and and Thursday with that 13 pick how much value does that actually have you think in this draft it’s going to depend on Who falls outside the top 10 guys like Rob Dillingham Nica topic I think that Ron Holland is another guy that could potentially fall and I think that he would be a sneak you get for the Kings if he’s on the board at 13 uh Devin Carter is another name that could potentially fall out of the top 10 and be available in in that teens area of the lottery so I think that it’s going to be a very serviceable draft pick to trade I think that there’s going to be teams interested in moving up even even a guy like Zack EDI I think teams could potentially Target at the end of the lottery if they were to trade up for the Kings pick there so I think that the kings are GNA have options I think that there’s going to be avenues that present itself to Monty McNair in this organization and right now if I had to take a guess I would I would lean towards the Kings making a move on draft night where they trade out of the 13th pick and bring in an established player that can help them in their playoff Pursuit right now great stuff from great Brett seagull follow him on Twitter X Brett seag seag NBA Brett appreciate you man good good luck and everything and uh thanks for jumping on with us absolutely I appreciate you guys having me have a great week all right now we’ll talk to Brett seagull again of course uh some good stuff right there some Jewels I know how you feeling Jay you good yeah you know drapes I um I’m always enthused when I hear the Kings have a positive direction that they can you know approach and so Brett dropping some of those jewels as you said it it it re reinvigorates me

Brett Siegel, NBA insider and reporter, joined Kyle Draper to discuss the current rumors surrounding the Sacramento Kings. Brett said he’s been told that Zach LaVine to Sacramento “is still a viable scenario” if the Kings want to pursue that.

The guys dive into the details of that, the trade value of Harrison Barnes and Kevin Huerter, who could be considered with the 13th pick, and plenty more.
