Kings get Gallinari, Roberson
***Get out of the Dedmon contract, and they add tons of cap space to go on a run for Drummond this offseason. Gallo is also playing very well.

Thunder get Dedmon, Bogdanovic, Bjelica
***They can slide Bjelica right into the Gallo role, add a nice scorer in Bogdanovic who can be an upgrade at the 3 in the starting lineup or be a huge bench piece, and they get Dedmon who can allow rest time for Adams and Noel who have been struggling like crazy with injuries. This also cuts the cap down dramatically. They can guarantee Dort, cut Patton, and waive either Nader or Burton to make everyone fit.

Thoughts? Does okc need to include a pick(s)? If so, which ones? I really like the deal for both sides.

A straightup swap of Roberson for Dedmon also works, but it would mean okc taking on a bit more salary. If OKC was willing to do Dre and Schroeder for Dedmon and Joseph, that would also work financially, but I'd hate to see Dennis go. Especially for that. Thoughts?

No way does okc do that they would want Bogdanovic in any trade for gallo I know Adams and Noel are hurt but don’t see them adding another center

Don't get me wrong, Gallinari is an exceptional shooter, a very efficient scorer, and an overall smart basketball player, but he is also a thirty-one-years old, injury-prone, unathletic power forward that can't give you consistent rebounding, passing or defensive effort. He doesn't have a ton of playoff experience either. With all of this said, I don't see it possible for Thunder to pull off a heist and rob the Kings of both Bjelica and Bogdanović in exchange for Gallinari. Especially so given the fact that potential Bogdanović trade could land the Kings a much better deal with the Lakers (e.g. Kuzma for Bogdanović) or some other contender needing consistent third-option scoring.
Also, it is obvious that the Kings were wrong signing Dedmon to that 40 million-dollars-across-three-years deal and that they would very much like to get his contract off their hands, but at the same time they are in a playoff-contention mode and would want to get some value in exchange (Roberson hasn't played a single game for almost two years since suffering a gruesome knee injury).

Thing is he might not be athletic but in okc he doesn’t need really need to be all he needs for okc is stretch the floor and he can score out the post and he does have playoff experience with okc they are playing him exactly to his strengths and look how good he is doing way better than last year when he was on clippers if okc do trade him they have so Many teams that have wanted him and if they do trade him they will get a good return but idk what okc is going to do yet
