Sure, in the middle of a season. Not in the offseason. If we’re starting Collins and Leonard on opening night, we’re fucked.
Then you assume they are resigning Aminu and Collins and Aminu start? Any other combination I can think of would make us even worse. Personally, I'm hoping for a Collins/RoLo (or some other rental center) starting lineup. Get some FA Center who can run the PnR with Dame and play center to keep some level of consistency for when Nurk comes back.
No I think Aminu is gone and Collins will start at center. They’ll find a four elsewhere. If they can dump Harkless or Meyers they’d really open up their options. But I think they can find a solid player even if they were stuck with the tax MLE.
I see what you are saying, but just don't think it will happen that way--unless they decide to pull the trigger on Griffin or Love, then definitely it would break that way.
I wonder if the Kings would do a swap of Moe and a pick for Bjelica. They have Bagley and Giles and might chase Horford or someone like Vucevic.
Not familiar with him. Is he any better than Skal? Very anxious to see Skal play in summer league. I like his size, shot blocking, and 3 point shooting. I have no idea if he can cover the perimeter, but can Bjelica? Or any of the other stretch 4's we often mention. (i.e Love)
Skal has a lot of potential but yeah Bjelica is better right now. Most of my exposure to him has been with his international team where he handles the ball more. From what I’ve seen in the nba, he’s been kind of minimized to the prototypical stretch four. But he’s very skilled and also underrated defensively. Not sure what his value is in a trade, or if the kings would even be open, it was just a thought.
Wow, didn't realize. Yeah, he'd be perfect for a win-now team. Such as, perhaps, Portland... Thanks, @Scalma--now I'm going to be obsessed over him all summer.
I just wouldn’t attach anything more than a 2nd or Trent form him (on top of Hark or Meyers). He isn’t worth losing a first round pick for. Especially when he is a career 7.1 PPG /4.4 RPG / 1.5 APG / .4 BPG / .6 SPG 0n .460/.381/.755 shooting Good shooting big, similar to Ilyasova imo.
I dont like Olshey because of what he did in 2016, but credit where credit is due, in 2019 he did a really good job, trading Hood for two garbage players and two second rounders, getting Kanter in the buyout Market, drafting Little, and now trading the biggest garbage player on our team wothout any assets for a Upgrade. I cant belive i'm writing this but i will trust him and his plan, whatever it is
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat???????????????????? Is this like when you said you'd never doubt Dame again and then doubted him the next game?
We are going to need to find a couple of power forwards or a power forward and a center anyway. We can give small minutes to Skal but I doubt he plays more than 15 minutes per game. Collins should be a starting center/power forward really, getting significant minutes. I don’t trust Meyers to be playing more than 20 a night, and realistically Nurkic is probably not back until December and possibly not in good form for full season. I would like us to use MLE on a big.
