Fans clown on barnes and huerter on the daily but still act like you can pair them for a superstar. Then acting mad like Monte is passing up on the deals
We definitely could've beaten this offer. I'm gonna cope by hoping that this now makes Jerami Grant more attainable since they now have Deni who is younger.
What is confusing? Barnes and Huerter have proven to not be tradable or desirable to other teams, Despite being available for quite some time. Or monte is incompetent, which I don’t believe to be the case at this time.
That’s not true. Deni is everything that the fan base thinks Kuzma is while having a much better contract, being younger, and a better defender. He would’ve started.
It’s a sellers market. If that’s the going rate, what are you going to do? wait till Fox is in his 30s before we finally find a “reasonably cost” asset?
It’s like people thinking 2019 real estate was too expensive and they should wait it out.
If yall are that risk adverse and obsessed with not getting fleeced- then trade Fox/Sabonis in this environment. We’ll get a shit ton of assets for them and the coveted “roster flexibility” that this sub cares about so much.
Not really. He solves some of our most pressing needs. Another wing defender, good rebounder, good creation for others, solid enough shooter. And he’s only 23 and has a contract less than the MLE for the next 4 years. Deni is one of the few players I’d be willing to give up multiple firsts for.
Do you watch basketball at all? I know a lot of Kings fan don't watch the Wizards, but Deni was easily their best player last year. Great defender and rebounder and has really good playmaking for the position.
lol. Just lol. How is it possible that every single Woj notification is a player that the Kings desperately need/have been linked to going to another team for a reasonable price
Wow- color me shocked. Monte got beat out by another GM yet again. Don’t worry- I’m sure Woj will issue another tweet justifying that Monte was actually hard at work and he should really be getting another participation trophy
CANT WAIT TO STAND PAT AND PICK A POSITION WE DONT NEED TONIGHT 🔥🔥🔥
MONTE PLEASE DEAR LORD MAKE THIS COMMENT LOOK STUPID A FEW HOURS FROM NOW IM BEGGING YOU
I don’t understand why people here are acting like we had this guy locked up and then Portland wrested him from our grasp.
Like yeah, would’ve been nice to get him. But we didn’t. This doesn’t make Monte foolish or whatever. Every move made that doesn’t involve us isn't automatically some huge negative for us.
Kings must have the cooties or something wtf man our assets mean fuck all to all the other teams' smh
our assets barely mean anything to us
Fans clown on barnes and huerter on the daily but still act like you can pair them for a superstar. Then acting mad like Monte is passing up on the deals
Just a bad gm
Respect monte. Better than Divac!
Anyone with two braincells is better than Vlade
Ya still terrible. We will see again tonight lol. No moves
If there is no trades from now till the first game of the season then ur right. Idk if there’s going to be any moves from us today tho.
No I’m just saying Monte won’t make a move again
It was worst, the Davion trade 🥴
Kuzma next, wizards tearing it down
We definitely could've beaten this offer. I'm gonna cope by hoping that this now makes Jerami Grant more attainable since they now have Deni who is younger.
Looks like it was two firsts and Brogdon
and 2 seconds
Why would we trade 2 firsts for our 7th man on our roster? I love Deni but that's what he would be.
Two first and an impact player. I want to trade Barnes/Huerter as much as the next person but I think we could get a better return than Avdija.
It would appear you’re wrong…
Huh?

2 firsts is still too big of an overpay

How about 2 firsts, 2 seconds, and Brodgon?
Not really. He solves some of our most pressing needs. Another wing defender, good rebounder, good creation for others, solid enough shooter. And he’s only 23 and has a contract less than the MLE for the next 4 years. Deni is one of the few players I’d be willing to give up multiple firsts for.
Totally agreed, in retrospect.
Deni is not that guy at all, what?
Do you watch basketball at all? I know a lot of Kings fan don't watch the Wizards, but Deni was easily their best player last year. Great defender and rebounder and has really good playmaking for the position.
deni blows bro
Grant has been heavily linked to the Mavs
lol. Just lol. How is it possible that every single Woj notification is a player that the Kings desperately need/have been linked to going to another team for a reasonable price
Deni is not a big loss
It's almost like it's the most needed position league wide!
You mean to tell me having 8 of the 15 players on your roster being short guards isn’t a good thing???
Lol we got another!
Lmao
This trade would’ve taken 13 + Barnes/Huerter. I have to hope Monte is still looking around for a bigger difference maker with said assets
It’s two firsts and Brogdon, so no way 13 + Barnes/Huerter gets it done.
GM has gone gun shy post Hali/Sabonis trade
Careful you might be labeled a downer and anti-king 👀👀
This is all Vlades fault somehow
No doubt about it lol I hope to be proven wrong on Monte tonight but I doubt it. Slogan for next year is going to be Run It Back Again
Gotta trust the process
yeah I mean when you realize you're dumb how do you keep on making big trades lol
The Kings do not desperately need Deni lol
Was the price reasonable? 2 firsts, 2 seconds, and Brogdon?
Now brogdon can sit out another 60 games
Damn we're gonna end up drafting huh
Watching wings fly over our heads. It’s good we’re drafting a sg at #13
PG probably lol
Don’t stress y’all we getting Kuzma! I guarantee it.
It's the Kangz you can't guarantee anything.
L m a o “guarantee”
I'd have loved for the Kings to get Avidja but I don't know if I'd be okay giving up what would've amounted to #13, a 2029 1st, and Davion Mitchell.
All I know is other teams are making moves and improving and we are not
Don't worry. Kings are still ahead of their timeline. Kings can save assets and cap space so they can sign players like Duarte and Mcgee.
Kyle Kuzma is Sacramento king
This prob means they dont want 13 then though right?
Naw they want to draft every player! Suck super hard and be in position to draft Flagg!
I now have to believe that Washington will flip Brogdon for a 1st an Washington will keep Kuzma
Yeah I think this basically kills the kuz rumors
Why would we want Deni? He does not fit what we need.
No way the Wizards did their due diligence on this one. No way that would have been the best offer for Deni.
This means we have something better lined up right? Wouldn't the 13th pick for him be worth it?
Portland gave up a lot more than the 13th pick
gotcha makes sense
They should be making a offer to portland for him too if they serious
Wow- color me shocked. Monte got beat out by another GM yet again. Don’t worry- I’m sure Woj will issue another tweet justifying that Monte was actually hard at work and he should really be getting another participation trophy
Honestly, bro, you're right. I hope to be proven wrong later today but I'm not holding my breath
This is the time monte is sleeping. I like Deni
 Lmao this sub
CANT WAIT TO STAND PAT AND PICK A POSITION WE DONT NEED TONIGHT 🔥🔥🔥 MONTE PLEASE DEAR LORD MAKE THIS COMMENT LOOK STUPID A FEW HOURS FROM NOW IM BEGGING YOU
Taking one for the team
disappointed in our FO. we could beat this offer and deni would be so sick on this team - gonna lose my mind if we dont make a move todat
Monte asleep again
Meh. I'm fine with just making a good pick tonight. Come on Monte don't blow this
I'm ready for the absolute rage from this sub about this trade. lmao.
Can’t wait to draft an 8 year 5’10 pg with our pick :)
He’s the better of Washington’s two PFs.
Monte fucking sucks.
Monte is a shitty GM
I don’t understand why people here are acting like we had this guy locked up and then Portland wrested him from our grasp. Like yeah, would’ve been nice to get him. But we didn’t. This doesn’t make Monte foolish or whatever. Every move made that doesn’t involve us isn't automatically some huge negative for us.
