The problem with Portland's situation now is that next year, they're wasting a year of Lillard. For the next Free Agency class, you have Westbrook, Wall, Beal, Harden (who accepted his PO) and Brunson. You could say Ayton, but unless they give Ayton a max and Phoenix declines to match, there's no way any of their moves made sense, even if they wanted to free cap space.
Ayton would be a restricted free agent, Portland most likely won’t give a big contract for Ayton! If they did, their going back to the luxury tax and might have to move a lot of pieces! Beside they weren’t able to trade their center (Nurkic) so if they are planning to pay him this summer and their young guards then they are also wasting their salary cap that is meant to bring someone!

You better pray to the basketball Gods if they come back healthy if they wanted to 10 cuz you got the Sun, and the Warriors over you guys? You better have some lucky on your side
Are kawhi and pg going to play that same shutdown defense like that did against luka in the playoffs? They had 3 players that was suppose to be known for their defense and luka caught 3 domestic violence cases in those series.
I must be the only one who doesn’t think the kings got totally fleeced. The man has already averaged at 19 12 and 5 for the past 3 seasons and is efficient from the field. I just wish they just traded Halliburton for Sabonis straight up, plus whatever salary filler need to make it happen. Since Halliburton’s value is so high, it would’ve been nice to see that. They could’ve have traded buddy for more assets, since his value seemed to be up there as well. Going forward, if Sabonis continues to produce like this, they can always trade him him assets if they need to rebuild again.
Although Dinwiddie is having an awful year in terms of 2-pt and 3-pt shooting percentages, he's a proven scorer who averaged 20 and 7 a year and a half ago in BK. I think he's gonna be great in Dallas and will soon return to form.
11:40 Just watch the footage from this press conference. Harrison comes across as having his first day on the job and having no idea what’s going on. With him in charge, the Mavs are lucky he didn’t trade Luka for Brad Wanamaker. Wizards GM must have had a good laugh trading with this guy.
Paul Millsap is the new Keith Van Horn. Thought Drummond was the "next great big"; now he's a throwaway part of a trade in which SETH Curry is mentioned more??? Is STEPH Curry still good??
@@morganfreeman7859 Yes really. Kings were morons extending fox and were forced to justify their dumb mistake by trading their best young asset for Mr. 1st Round Exit. They have no future with fox and sabonis as their best players and next to no chance of getting anyone better. Dont understand how this is so difficult for so many people.
@@shiningshores4808 lmao it’s difficult to understand because they’re still young and it’s still a young team, it’s not like they have to contend right away, they literally got a proven all star whom like the guy said above is only 25… they literally just need to add more key pieces now… Hield getting on the older side, yes Halliburton was a loss but fox still has potential and averaging 20 5 5… they also still have mitchell
Big L for the kings. They lost their spacing by trading haliburton and hield. And for the haliburton vs fox debate, it's clearly wiser to trade fox. If in 2 years fox gets worse/stagnate your still stuck with his max contract while if haliburton gets worse you can just let him leave as a RFA and still have cap flexibility.
The Lakers trade for Russ will go down as a top 3 worst trade for a supposed superstar in history behind the Celtics/Nets trade with Paul Pierce and KG
@@drcheesepuff3805 harden a proven top 10 player and top 5 when he’s all in, they’re going all in considering Embiid May be on borrowed time given his injury history, wouldn’t want to make Embiid disgruntled and want to leave, if it don’t work then they can easily start over again and go young, they have assets like Harris Embiid and harden in that case
That honestly would have been the case weather they made this move or not. I heard the most they could get for Simmons early in the year was brogdon and a protected first. Instead they got harden who is still an all star player at his worst.
People are overrating Haliburton. Kings didn’t fumble the bag when you will have a dynamic 1-2 punch in their prime together. Just build upon it and they’ll be fine
Seth Curry being an upgraded Joe Harris is a bad take. Harris is worse at ball handling but better at defense and rebounding because he's like 6'6" and Seth is considerably shorter and has to play a different role.
The thing about the King’s trade is that they have a playoff mandate. So if I’m the King’s GM and I want to keep my job just getting Sabonis probably guarantees a low playoff spot. If I’m the GM I don’t really care it’s a bad long term trade. Because that’s the next guy’s problem. Horrible trade for them, but I at least get the logic. At least I get the logic, unlike Portland. The Blazers sold off like most of their players, and got nothing back in return almost. But yet they’re not even doing the full rebuild! They didn’t get back good players to make next year’s team competive, and they didn’t get young guys and picks back to make a good rebuild happen. They both made the wrong call trying to “build around dame” but they also got like zero good players back. Complete L for them. Sac at least I understand why the GM looking out for himself would trade Haliburton
I literally watch kings basketball, hali nice but he was not the best player on that team like many ppl say and getting a 2 time allstar in his prime isn't a bad deal.
6ers gave the Nets the perfect complementary pieces to its 2 superstars so that made Brooklyn much better. Simmons doesn't need to score when you have Kyrie and KD dominating the offense and another Curry to shoot. Even if Harden jives with Embiid, they are not better than a healthy Nets with that lineup. It will be exciting to see how the playoffs unfold.
They weren’t even in the conversation to be a finals team without this move. And your really gonna count on part time Kyrie and afraid of the basketball Simmons to save Brooklyn. I don’t even know if Brooklyn will beat Miami or bucks.
Phones about to die, but I’m hoping Simmons can be an off ball player for the nets. When he has the ball people can just give up their defense on him at the line, and go block passing lanes comfortably. If he swaps up his offensive game to benefit his style I’m sure he’ll become a decent threat for backdoor layups, and dunks.
I don’t understand why y’all wanna keep players that you aren’t winning with. If the team is losing with them, then they can lose without him so why not try to switch things up?
Remember "home" and "road" jerseys?? Talk about STYLE OVER SUBSTANCE - are they basketball players or fashion models?? Where are the "Charles Oakley/Xavier McDaniel/George Muresan" types??
is not an awful return for mccollum, he has a horrible contract, is a bad return if you count the fact that he could've been traded one or two seasons ago
Sebonis could be even better though, he's still very young. Both guys could be allstar to superstar level. Hard to give the kings an F for that. Talented bigs seems to be the league's newest trend and they are a lot harder to find than talented guards. I could see the trade working for the kings.
I don’t think the trade is great either but if haliburton becomes anything less than a bonafide superstar, a lot of youtubers are gonna be looking real crazy
I believe the mavs wouldn't have done the trade if THJ didn't get injured. Their bench has no scoring outside of trey burke and I guess that's where dinwiddie comes in as a playmaker.
As a Kings fan I understand the trade and honestly the criticism is a bit much dawg, not every team's goal can be a championship, unless you get lucky and draft an all time great and Tyrese will never reach that level or you have a front office that knows how to build a team and you really think the Kings have that type of front office? Besides Id rather take my chance at building my franchise with Fox over Hali, last year Fox was putting up the same numbers as Ja Morant this season albeit with less team success for Fox, and honestly that type of production is something I don't see Tyrese ever reaching, and you suggesting Tyrese being an All NBA caliber player is an insane reach dawg
the reason you are better then a lot of nba type guys is you get what we want (harden/simmons trade) out first then the rest, other guys do the opposite
Dame is the biggest star in Portland. He practically runs this town. You think Portland would make any moves if it didn’t go through Dame first? Better yet, you think if Dame really wanted to be traded, he would have already asked? I honestly think he really wants to be known as the best Trail Blazer of all time and always staying loyal.
Just because dame approved doesn’t mean it is a good decision. Like Portland can enjoy being a middling mediocre team that will never contend and once dame retires with zero rings or finals appearances they will have to be ass until they maybe get someone like same only to waste their future.
@@kohsmoger1567 They'll be ass if they trade Dame. No one ever comes here and it took us 20+ years for us to get someone as good as Clyde Drexler was. Rule #1 of any small market team trying to compete is you never trade your star player ESPECIALLY if they want to STAY.
KP is a liability. Outsiders have obviously not seen that the Zingus experiment hasnt worked out. No ones saying getting Bertans and Dinwiddie is a win, but to be able to break Zingus’ contract into smaller tradeable chunks is better. Just look at LA - aint nobody traded for that 40 m “MvP”
aren't they pretty expensive contracts as well,i heard it from someone that said that bertans contract is huge and they both shooting 30% from 3 now, if they arnt playing at the bench idk how the mavs are going to win having 2 brick expert this season
Ik this is so cliché to say but I really wish I knew what the Lakers where thinking in trading for Westbrook and I mean that in the most serious and honest way possible

Where are the "Charles Oakley/Xavier McDaniel/George Muresan" types??
is not an awful return for mccollum, he has a horrible contract, is a bad return if you count the fact that he could've been traded one or two seasons ago
Sebonis could be even better though, he's still very young. Both guys could be allstar to superstar level. Hard to give the kings an F for that. Talented bigs seems to be the league's newest trend and they are a lot harder to find than talented guards. I could see the trade working for the kings.
Dame gotta be swinging in the air right now
Saying Domas is maxing out as a All-Star player like it's a bad thing?
Surprise golden state didn’t unload kuminga, wnd wisemen for Myles Turner pretty smart team that keeps young guys for the future
For what to marginally get better. GSW is in it for the long haul
We just gonna ignore nikeil? Bro he has so much potential
Bertans is a 16m$ contract for 5 years, that the only thing he can do is shoot, and he is shooting bellow average
Mavs organisation must be smoking crack to do that trade
I don’t think the trade is great either but if haliburton becomes anything less than a bonafide superstar, a lot of youtubers are gonna be looking real crazy
Warriors needed a big man Ngl looney ain’t it
They’re betting on wiseman for the long run, but he’s already injury prone so early in his career
@@sultan0072011 Eh... saying he's injury prone is a bit much guy.
I bet he will have a healthier career than Looney.
No they just need draymond healthy. Wiseman can provide some big man minutes.
I believe the mavs wouldn't have done the trade if THJ didn't get injured. Their bench has no scoring outside of trey burke and I guess that's where dinwiddie comes in as a playmaker.
So the mavs said no to the raptors offer just to get a much worse return from the wizards.
bro no shot thats blue velour playing shouts out felly
No thoughts for Derrick White to the Celtics??
So my magic get no love? 🤣🤣🤣
Bucks getting Serge, two picks, and opening 2 roster spots? Pretty big deal lol
Serge was a peripheral piece no longer part of the Clippers rotation. Trading him took $30 M off of the Clippers luxury tax.
Kings sucked when Haliburton had control over the offense
Wrong about Portland. Lillard already got an all-star we don't know about going to come join. Dallas did a good job too
Kemba Walker on the Knicks the worst starting point guard in the NBA not Dinwiddie
We not gon talk about Bagley?
No
As a Kings fan I understand the trade and honestly the criticism is a bit much dawg, not every team's goal can be a championship, unless you get lucky and draft an all time great and Tyrese will never reach that level or you have a front office that knows how to build a team and you really think the Kings have that type of front office? Besides Id rather take my chance at building my franchise with Fox over Hali, last year Fox was putting up the same numbers as Ja Morant this season albeit with less team success for Fox, and honestly that type of production is something I don't see Tyrese ever reaching, and you suggesting Tyrese being an All NBA caliber player is an insane reach dawg
the reason you are better then a lot of nba type guys is you get what we want (harden/simmons trade) out first then the rest, other guys do the opposite
If this kd Era for the nets don't work they still have a young talent in cam if they can keep him
Where do u get your instrumentals from bro? Anyone Know???
Dame is the biggest star in Portland. He practically runs this town. You think Portland would make any moves if it didn’t go through Dame first? Better yet, you think if Dame really wanted to be traded, he would have already asked? I honestly think he really wants to be known as the best Trail Blazer of all time and always staying loyal.
Just because dame approved doesn’t mean it is a good decision. Like Portland can enjoy being a middling mediocre team that will never contend and once dame retires with zero rings or finals appearances they will have to be ass until they maybe get someone like same only to waste their future.
@@kohsmoger1567 They'll be ass if they trade Dame. No one ever comes here and it took us 20+ years for us to get someone as good as Clyde Drexler was. Rule #1 of any small market team trying to compete is you never trade your star player ESPECIALLY if they want to STAY.
ur saying their team doesnt work but they are being stopped by injuries and more
KP is a liability. Outsiders have obviously not seen that the Zingus experiment hasnt worked out. No ones saying getting Bertans and Dinwiddie is a win, but to be able to break Zingus’ contract into smaller tradeable chunks is better. Just look at LA - aint nobody traded for that 40 m “MvP”
aren't they pretty expensive contracts as well,i heard it from someone that said that bertans contract is huge and they both shooting 30% from 3 now, if they arnt playing at the bench idk how the mavs are going to win having 2 brick expert this season
EXTEND RUSS ON A CHEAPER CONTRACT, ONE HE’LL ACTUALLY SIGN THREE YEARS 25 MIL PER YEAR, TRADE HIM AFTER AWHILE… LAKERS WIN
crazy to me how dude didn't talk about the Cavs smh. --come back to this comment when they make the eastern confrence finals.
That levert trade went under the radar fr
Can you do a small forward evolution video please
Ik this is so cliché to say but I really wish I knew what the Lakers where thinking in trading for Westbrook and I mean that in the most serious and honest way possible
They wanted someone to carry the lakers when Lebron and AD couldn’t player either do to rest or injury, but that clearly hasn’t worked.
How the hell Vlad still as a job the kings make so many bad decisions
