Nola wanted Keegan Murray
Didn't hear that, not sure where he would even fit with Herb, CJ and Trey all needing to start. One of them already has to come off the bench. They have only one big on the roster and it's a rookie from a bad draft. Any trade, they will require a big. They should have just apologized to Jonas and offer him a stake on the team:wow:

I mean, I like Derozan but where does he really fit? 35, OK at best defense, canā€™t shoot threes, iso-heavy on offense, doesnā€™t really rebound wellā€¦ only thing he gives you is mid-range buckets. How much is that worth in the 2024-2025 NBA?
Shoots 40% in the corner 3 right where Barnes would catch it. 4th quarter and half court performer.

If Fox got locked in the 4th it was game over. Demar and Fox led the league in 4th quarter points. Demar's playmaking and ability to get where he wants is severely understated here.

Lateral move for the Kings

All this nikka does is shoot contested twos as a fukk you to the rest of the league

No extra gear come play in or playoff time

If he shoots them. Heā€™s not really a catch and shoot guy like that. Derozan is known for actively avoiding shooting 3s for whatever reason as well. If youā€™re relying on him to pull the trigger on threes, youā€™ll be bitterly disappointed. Raptors begged him to start shooting threes like 7 years ago.

DeRozanā€˜s a pretty clunky fit in the Kings offense as currently constituted. If anything, it would make sense for him to lead the second unit surrounded by 3&D guys.

Eh, even at 3 attempts a game he's a huge upgrade over Barnes. We're not asking him to take 3s, but when he does and makes them at that clip it's a bonus.

The ball handling and playmaking is a better upgrade from Barnes. Offense gets too predictable with the dho. Having 2 guys that could create for themselves is awful. Especially when one comes off of the bench.

Spurs get Barnes and a 1st round pick swap for absolutely no reason :gucci:

Are the Maloofs running the kings again :gucci:
Salary dump. Kings didnā€™t need/want to pay Barnes anymore with DDV there and the Bulls didnā€™t want him either. They take on salary and get a usable part plus a pick swap down the line, Bulls get a backup guard and 2 seconds for a guy who was leaving anyway and the Kings get DDV. Win/win/wiin
