That would be a great trade. Call up Flip. Not sure it is possible or that Tyus Jones will be there at Washington's pick. But I like it.

Porter- 4 mil
Nene- 13 mil Off the books next year

KMART- 7mil off the books in two years
Thad - 9.5mil off the books next year

That would be a good deal for us. I'm not sure Washington would do that, but Martin and Young would be great pieces for them and their playoff push.

Nene's too important to Washington for them to deal him. He gives them toughness and an interior presence. He also tends to always play really well against Chicago, and that could be vital in the playoffs.

My biggest issue with this proposal is it doesn't fix the biggest issue this team has on defense. Blocking shots has never been a big part of Nenes game. But he plays very good team defense and shoots a high percentage from the field . I think he knows his limitations and stays within himself. If nothing else that 13 mil will look pretty good after next year.

The only reason I think they'd consider it is that they still have some big bodies . Seraphin, Humphreys, Gortat and Blair is still a nice front court. What they don't have are guys that can put the ball in the hoop. Granted the defense would take a hit.

"The Sacramento Kings have been rumored for several months to be a team hoping to make a big trade and with the hiring of new head coach George Karl, that narrative has not changed.

"They have been as active as anyone," a general manager told Sporting News. "Obviously they want to make a lot of changes, and they're pushing hard to get something done."

The Kings have been shopping forwards Jason Thompson and Derrick Williams and rookie guard Nik Stauskas, but there is very little interest from other teams. Of that trio, Stauskas might be the one to move by the trade deadline day on Fe. 19.

The team is looking for a "stretch 4" to help open up the paint for center DeMarcus Cousins and better defenders on the wing who suit the style Karl wants to play. Sean Deveney mentions Milwaukee's Ersan Ilyasova as a player the Kings might take a look at. Other players of interest could include Detroit's Jonas Jerebko and Denver's Arron Afflalo and Wilson Chandler."

Cam would you be willing to move Thad Young for Stauskas and Thompson?

I think it would be an interesting move, despite Stauskas sucking majorly this year, he could provide three point shooting and Thompson could be the rim protector we need next to Pek. Maybe we could even dump Budinger on them

EDIT: Now that I'm actually looking at Thompson's numbers he really isn't much of a shot blocker, ehh at least he could give us some length. Budinger would have to be dumped on the Kings to make this deal palatable

One of those make a deal just to make one deals. It doesn't really help either team all that much.

NYK: Calderon, Hardaway
MIN: Young

UTA: Kanter, Novak
MIN: Young

I'm not sure how I feel about either trade, but I figure it's worth bringing up. The idea here would be to gain a young piece (that's somewhat proven) while adding three-point shooters in the process. That seems to fit with what Flip's tried to do already.

I wouldn't touch Kanter with a 10 ft pole. The guy thinks he is way better than he actually is and his agent thinks he's a max guy. That's going to lead to long, dragged out contract talks this summer most likely ending in him pulling a Monroe and leaving in a year. He's not good enough for that kind of drama.
