then trade Yabu + 2nd for a backup C like Nick Richards.

Saves us $19m next season, really $25m because Yabu isn't going to opt out of $6m next year. really helps reset our cap a bit and lets us resign Mitch and use our 1st rounder without touching aprons.

The two guys we should be looking at moving are OG and Mikel … I’d call Memphis and see if they would do a Ja and Jackson for Mikel and OG and picks . Mikel and OG are the two most inconsistent players in our starting 5 . Love OG but he needs to be more consistent on offense to be considered a star … and Mikel is just Mid .

We should have hung the banner, since then I’m guessing the nba commissioner made it a point to get the refs to look the other way . Brunson has barely gone to the ft line since the cup win. Kat isn’t the problem it’s our 3rd and forth options that have been the issue . I’d imagine Ja and Kat would rock the house with pick and rolls and Jackson gives us defense and consistency from behind the ark .

its not sad at all, he's not a serious player. OG & Mikal can be trusted in big games and are valuable defending even if they are off scoring. KAT is a huge negative when his shot is off, which is almost all the time now. On top of that his constant whining, sulking and complaining and falling all over the floor and not getting back i'm sure is growing real old already.

Mitch is a more impactful C for us.

Yeah. I get that loud and clear. But we aren't trading for a cozy podcast partner. WE trade for him because he's one of the toughest defenders in the league when he's on (that's on coach Brown), in a spot where we have a need.

It's a trade for a ring, not a congeniality contest. It rips the bandage off the illusion that this team can win anything in the playoffs.

Shake it up.

Risky but its an all-in play

Do that trade in a nanosecond

Here's my logic.

We are buying low on Sabonis who could very well raise his level of contribution to the Knicks that iHart supplied,

Schroder is a guy who got burned and isn't having it. He's a beast but playing in NY and getting a ring would heal a ****-ton of past grievances.

For Sacto, Towns will look like a haul. Grab a second rounder or two from them (30s) and call it a deal.

Imagine OG, Bridges, Schroder on D. They'll eat the opponent alive.

Sabonis is excellent and he would have great chemistry with this roster.

Agreed. He's exactly what Brunson, Bridges, and OG have been missing. Towns' offence is great but we wouldn't miss it.

The passing, team play, and sheer complementary presence of Sabonis would be a huge plus.

AND, we aren't blowing out the team for a star-phuk.

I remember him defending Brunson really really well.

Schroder doesn't back down. He faced down LeBron when LeBron was still somebody.
If he can accept the backup role AND if Brown and teammates can keep him under control then it's a damned fine fit *for what we need Right Now*.
The man can play.
But he's a player Sacto wants to be rid of that has no market per se.

Hate to be redundant but we also haven't blown holes in the existing team. A surgical trade.

Never really loved Sabonis, especially at C, but I do kind of like him here at PF. My gut tells me Brown isn't itching to reunite with his old Kings players though.

no way, those two guys are very close to being washed and play redundant positions.

Much better off with Sabonis and using Yabu to get a backup C. we were never winning anything without Mitch being healthy anyway.

Yeah, I agree. The shelf life of Grant and Holiday is expired.

Bagley, Kessler, M. Plumlee - something along those lines plugs the need
