    The Kings owner is a huge fan of Sabonis.

    Man a Buddy Hield/ Myles Turner package for Ben Simmons wouldn't be so bad for Morey. Indy gets a new backcourt in Simmons/Halliburton. They can try to move Brogdon in the offseason.

    Indiana is currently #5 and #24 in the draft, and they also own the Rockets' 2nd round pick (low 30's). Tristan Thompson's $10M contract is expiring.

    Buddy Hield doesn't fit their timeline at all, and Myles Turner is looking to get out. Both are still valuable/tradeable players.

    Could be a quick rebuild for them if they're smart and lucky.

    The Kings said "Nah, we like it just the way it is."

    Was hoping the Rockets could put a package together for Haliburton but Stone isn't Morey.

    Even on his best day when it comes to deal making.

    This deal only makes sense if they extend Saboner to a max. Since they love him so much, Fox stays then I guess.

    A smart Kings org would've identified Sengun as the post man with ball skills they so desperately desired. Luckily for us they're trash and Al-P is ours.

    If Sengun and Josh C end up being studs and Jalen ends up being a solid role player, I would be totally fine with that.

    I’m wrong on these things :D but sorry, I just don’t get all the backlash and uproar.
    I guess if he becomes a superstar I’ll eat my words. (Not literally, not like John McClain eating a newspaper.)

    15 year playoff drought
    20-35, 2 games out of the play-in
    Not saying Sabonis will or is but was Tyrese Haliburton taking them somewhere? (Yeah yeah yeah, soon to be 22, just as likely to waste away in Sacramento as everyone before him)

    “Keep the course!”

    Keep the course with what? Being a losing franchise? Being 20-35? #RunItForward with Hield and Fox? #RunItForward with Fox and Haliburton? #RunItForward with Haliburton and Mitchell?

    “No! Keep Haliburton! Give ‘em all the picks! Give ‘em Mitchell, Hield, anyone else (besides TH) and all the picks!”
    *Kings trade 3-4 firsts for Sabonis*
    Same people: “LOL Kings…traded 4 firsts for Sabonis and they’re not even in the playoffs! Poverty franchise!”

    With all due respect, Buddy Hield, Harrison Barnes, Davion Mitchell and Marvin Bagley only have so much value.

    De’Aaron Fox? Do you want De’Aaron Fox (making $30M/$32M/$34M/$37M the next 4 years)?

    “**** this team.”
    “Poverty franchise.”
    “I’m done/out now.”


    BREAKING: You’ve been a poverty franchise for awhile now.
    Stayed around after they passed on Luka.
    Stayed around after the previous 239841892 shitty moves
    But the Haliburton trade is the one that makes you “quit”?

    LOL Chill Kings fans. Despite being “totally done”, you’ll be watching tonight (and if they make the play-in, cheering them on then too).

    Sabonis is better than any Rockets player we have. If the Kings were tanking sure we could give them 2 first rounders and Green but I wouldn’t even do that deal
