My favourite offseason target for the kings would be Chris Wood, but a deal for a player with his antics throughout rockets rebuild puts me at caution against pursuing him. But most kings fan rate him highly and he's ideal next to Sabonis. His rim protection and perimeter defence works well next to Sabonis.
Monte has hinted at character as a right attribute for his trade target which makes Jeremy Grant a possible target but I'd take Wood over Grant for how well I believe fox can play off multiple bigs with different skill set.
A deal could transpire given Wood has always wanted to be part of a contending team when he joined the Rockets.
It makes much sense for kings to part with the pick if it falls out of 1-4 range.
Rockers :- Holmes, pick 7 ( Sharpe ), 2022 second round picks ( 37 and 49 )
Kings b:- Wood, pick 17 ( Nicola Jovic ), 2023 first via nets.
Rockets should target more top 10 picks over multiple firsts, so giving up one pick and Wood for pick 7 is very reasonable. Sharpe or Griffin or even Dyson Daniels are natural talent around Green. Also having Holmes can guarantee someone who's on long term contract as against Wood. Holmes was the heart and sole of the kings team of 20-21, an underrated centre with an unstoppable push shot, he'll fit well with the thinner leaner passing Sengun than with Sabonis. And can also inspire the teams push for staying competent during the lottery and player development. Also the opportunity to draft a big is possible in the top 3 this term for the Rockets.
Wood works well next to fox and can be the comfortable third star with fringe all star potential. Pick 17 guarantees an opportunity to draft between Eason, Jovic, Dieng and many more, Monte choices have so far been good and i expect that to continue without naming any favourites.

Jovic would have to show a lot better shooting before I would take him at #17. Perhaps trade down for the 2 Memphis firsts? Jokic @ #22 and either Kessler or Baldwin, Jr @ #29?

Jalen Duren can intrigue particularly the Charlotte Hornets, and if he shoots up the draft boards with his work outs, a possible deal with the Hornets and Sacramento could be worked out.
Hornets receive :- pick no: 7 ( Duren ), Barnes, harkless, Terence Davis, 2022 second round pick ( 37 )
Sacramento :- Hayward, pick no: 13 ( Johnny Davis ), Kai Jones, 2022 second round pick ( 45 - Bryce McGowan ) .
Hornets can use Barnes as a 4 next to Miles Bridges, Barnes doesn't take touches away from Ball or Rozier and can shoot the 3 at a clip above 40%.
Duren can be developed to an absolute monster next to Ball, and can be afforded the growth time to develop.
Terence Davis is a viable option at SG than Oubre come the playoffs time.
Harkless gives the much needed defence and leadership off the bench.
Sacramento doesn't look like a team looking to develop talent at the moment, we might see a major deal but if not taking on Hayward looks reasonable next to fox and ox. He could aid fox with his playmaking like Bogi ( sg ) did the seasons prior, and also play off ox like McDermott did while at Indiana.
Johnny Davis doesn't jump out as a prospect that would appeal a lot for the lottery teams, but I'm all in for his clutch play, given how kings lack someone to take that final shot, his speed would excite fox and he could play both in the first and second unit and the added advantage of passing.
Kai Jones didn't get much opportunities with Hornets last season and i don't see it improved unless he's playing next to Plumlee or a possible trade target ( Turner ) .
He isn't a full time rim protector and can play off cuts, and thus ideally fits next to Sabonis.
Maybe the numbers aren't right here ( Fredman help me out here ), but making a deal of this kind is a bigger win for Hornets than for the kings, and i mean it as a kings fan.
1.) 20 Apr 2022 07:43:35
Seems like the Kings are losing value
7 > 13
Barnes > Hayward (healthier and much better contract as well)
I don’t think Jones makes up for that difference.
2.) 20 Apr 2022 10:23:42
Right now yes, but healthy Hayward is much more a help than healthy Barnes, but Yes. it's too much a risk to take as well.
3.) 20 Apr 2022 15:39:24
Yea, I am not feeling this one at all. If someone is looking to get Duren @ #7, much rather go with San Antonio trading up from #9.
Also, I would almost call Charlotte drafting Mark Williams @ #13 a lock.
04 Jun 2021 04:30:20
I know that a lot of Sacramento kings fans would like to trade for a star,the articles out there says so too. But if we are being absolutely true, I don't see any star possibly wanting to come here save maybe someone like Shai Alexander,Jerami Grant, Pascal Siakem and maybe Demar Derozen.
Maybe I've missed out some names but I feel like the only realistic target for sactown would be Pascal Siakem.
The trade:- Toronto - Pascal Siakem
Sacramento - Harrison Barnes, Jahmius Ramsey,2022 unprotected first round pick, 2023 protected first round pick (top 8). And 2022 second round pick.
This trade make sense for Sacramento as Pascal who had an off year this season inspite of some good stat stuffing could get into his nba all star form under Rico Hines. A lineup of fox-buddy-pascal-bagley-holmes, is a closer to a playoff spot. Also I like this fit particularly cause fox has often talked of having someone to help share the ball and Pascal does that very well, like Bogdanovic did last year for us. Plus Pascal is an upgrade at rebounding and defence at SF. I know he's someone who might be useful in the regular season but might stagnate during a playoffs.(look at his all star season). But he's help for a team like Sacramento.
While Toronto can use Harrison Barnes improved game and veteran presence. He's a good shooter who can work with OG at the forward positions. The first round picks for a rebuild and Ramsey could develop better with nick nurse than with Luke, I mean looking at what Toronto did with Terence Davis, I have full confidence in his development at the raptors.
1.) 04 Jun 2021 05:53:20
Sorry. The first word coming out of Toronto's mouth in a Siakam trade with Sacramento is . Halliburton.
2.) 04 Jun 2021 07:36:41
That's understandable but they aren't the team trying to make the playoffs as much as Sacramento is.
3.) 04 Jun 2021 11:50:34
When is Toronto NOT trying to make the playoffs? . Sacramento may have a long draught, but Toronto wants the playoffs just as badly. point is, the Raptors are not rebuilding. sure they'll trade Siakam, if it makes them better NOW AND in the future. Toronto is not about to enter a rebuild and sell off the best players. looking to win now and compete every year.
4.) 04 Jun 2021 15:44:54
@windrapsfan. So what you are basically saying is that Toronto is willing to trade Siakam if, and only if, another team is willing to overpay for him.
5.) 04 Jun 2021 19:38:07
@Fredman - well, yeah., ., . kinda. I would expect Siakam to be the big salary balancing piece of a trade for a star. with pick (s) and maybe young assets (Flynn? Boucher? ) added to the package. Toronto is not looking for a rebuild in any way. not going to dump Siakam after one down season. so yes, Fredman, a team will have to overpay for last year's Siakam if they want him, because next year's Siakam will likely have more value.
I believe that for the time being Ujiri and Webster are persuing the same path to the championship that worked before. build a "good" team that is top 4 in east (or close), and be ready to pounce on an opportunity for a top 5 guy, like we did with Kawhi.
longer term Ujiri wants to bring Toronto up in status to be a free agent destination like LA, NY or Miami. I'm really interested to see what he plans to do to accomplish this.

OKC - Bagley
Sac - Tony Bradley, Charlotte hornets 2014 second round pick.
I'd rate Tony as a better backup centre for the kings over metu/ Whiteside/ Damien Jones.
OKC gets a player who has ton of upside and could easily fit right next to Shai and an option better than Muscala or Roby.
1.) 26 Apr 2021 14:29:12
Finally Bagley value understood.
2.) 26 Apr 2021 16:12:38
lets see. Bradley costs more in salary while Whiteside has scored more per game, rebounded more per game and blocked more shots per game this season. So your rating is a little wack for starters.
As for the trade, I think the Kings are going to see if they can get a "contract year" season out of Bagley next year and then not offer him a QO. Let someone else overpay for Bagley. That may change if someone comes with a better trade offer thou.

Boston - kings
Aaron Nesmith and 2021 second round pick swap
For
Harrison Barnes 2021 second round pick swap.
It's understandable that the kings would value Romeo Langford here as secondary ball handler to run the second unit with haliburton but I'm not willing to trust his shot making which hasn't translated to the nba.
Celtics fan would likely part with grant Williams instead of Nesmith but kings have daquan Jefferies which hasn't worked out as expected but still no.
Nesmith is similar to buddy in terms of his traits a sharp shooter with tangibles to defend well but I'll buy into the fact that he was one of the players kings had an eye on with 2020 first round pick.
And the fact that in a year or two we could have two sharp shooters both in the first and second unit.
Hopefully we could tank and end up picking:-
Evan mobley(
Jeremiah earl Robinson
Filip petrusev or Isaiah Todd
Ariel hukporti or neemias quarta (Celtics pick swap)
Monte I hope would prefer talent over need and in a draft loaded with quality big men.
Hoping for a fox-buddy-bagley-mobley-holmes
Starting unit next season.
1.) 14 Mar 2021 15:55:14
As a Kings fan, when you say 2021 second swap I am hoping that you meant swapping the Lakers 2021 pick with the Celtics 2021 pick at least.
But I would still hold on to Barnes and a Fox, Buddy, Bagley, Mobley, Holmes lineup is horrible. Wings will kill Buddy and Bagley.
2.) 14 Mar 2021 20:40:11
Bagley isn’t a 3 that would be horrendous defense.
3.) 15 Mar 2021 15:26:17
Bagley at 3 isn't about his defence but for his offence, he's played there before whilst at Duke.

@ fredman, does the kings have the cap flexibility to land Shai Gilgalous Alexander next season?
Will a package of davion, Holmes and the required number of picks entice the thunders?
Do we go over the cap with both fox, Shai and domas owed hefty salary?
1.) 15 Feb 2022 13:07:27
OKC would need a deal that blows them away to trade SGA. They have more than enough picks, it’s time for them to make strides towards competing. Trading SGA sets that back considerably.
2.) 15 Feb 2022 14:32:04
I was hoping that wouldn't be the case with the leaps giddey is taking game by game and Shai awful luck with injury at okc lately.
3.) 15 Feb 2022 18:17:57
SGA has already signed an extension (5yrs/ $172.5 mil max salary) so I am not really sure what the King's cap flexibility has to do with anything. If the Kings fail to pick up the option on Lyles and do not offer a QO to DiVincenzo, then the Kings have around $10 mil in cap space available next season.
To get near to SGA's new salary of $29.75 mil (estimated), Kings are going to have to probably have to toss Holiday in with Holmes, Mitchell and the 2022 first just to get the numbers right. Another scenario that makes the numbers work would be Barnes, Mitchell and the 2022 first. However, I doubt either one of these would be considered by OKC.
Personally, I would probably try to get Dort from OKC. He currently has one year (non-guaranteed) remaining at minimum salary. Len + pick might get that done, but Dort can walk as a FA at the end of next season.
4.) 17 Feb 2022 13:04:40
Shai and Giddey seem like they can play together though. If they prove to be a poor fit together then that's a deal they'd make down the line. I just can't see OKC trading their best young player right now when he's locked up contractually and they have sufficient ammo to put a good team around him in the near future.
26 Apr 2021 17:22:11
Sacramento kings 2021 draft selection:- 1) Scottie Barnes (the power forward in the kings rotation next year, gives haliburton a skilled passer to make plays like steph- draymond tandem.
2) Charles Bassey(a player who can bring to the table what Clint capela brings to Atlanta this season, prefer him over current backups metu/Jones/Silva.
On two way ( undrafted):-1) khalifa diop ( a defence leader who might need a year at the g league before being incorporated to the nba lineup
2) r j nembhard ( a player I would like to see next to a future lineup of jahmius - Woodward, as the ball handling guard)
1.) 26 Apr 2021 19:16:00
With you on drafting Barnes (He is my #1 with Kai Jones being my #2)
Not a big fan of Bassey from the 2 games I watched. I wouldn't mind going Queta/ Huff/ Badji after trading down for 2 second rounders.
2.) 28 Apr 2021 02:58:20
I think Dejon Jarreau would be a great pickup in 2nd round. One of best defensive players in draft and decent point forward.
10 May 2022 05:46:28
We'll take that for the kings.
25 Apr 2022 15:58:59
Add in a pick and that makes it more meaningful for the kings, Otherwise this deal is a no no. they're trying hopefully shape a culture there at sac, and davion is the most important piece of it, now that Hali is gone. If not for an upgrade then Mitchell stays.
22 Apr 2022 06:14:41
Well his improved shooting and top defence makes him ideal next to Sabonis. I would do this deal, given how Holmes have fared next to Sabonis and loosing a second doesn't do much damage given how we ( kings, lately ) haven't yet had a success story at the second round pick.
20 Apr 2022 10:23:42
Right now yes, but healthy Hayward is much more a help than healthy Barnes, but Yes. it's too much a risk to take as well.
20 Apr 2022 10:20:28
Cool, most kings fan should be cautious about Issac, but I love Issac and don't mind Ross, and rate Ivey the most in the top 4, so I'm all on this, I don't mind loosing Barnes for much.
15 Feb 2022 14:32:04
I was hoping that wouldn't be the case with the leaps giddey is taking game by game and Shai awful luck with injury at okc lately.
