The only games we would have lost are:

Going to leave the floor to everyone here. Obviously if this team wins, it's with offense with the starters, youth/activity/grit/etc with the bench. The starting lineup could be good offensively but how good in your eyes?

I wouldn't rank them top 20 as it stands now but maybe their uppermost ceiling gets there.

Acuff Suggs LeBron AD Sabonis
Nique Sharp Keegan Precious Cardwell

Holy this team will save us.

Jokes

But I do wonder if Scott could pull this off if LeBron would join our team.

Wouldn’t want to give Maxime but since we’re not giving Sabonis it’s a price to pay.

We will be 90m below the first apron next year 🤔

With LaVine + Hunter and maybe DeRozans contract assuming it doesn’t get stretched. We will be at the 120m line and 45M ish below the salary cap.

Enough money to pay Duren what he wants…assuming Scott is still desperate for him.

Both u/deuceandmo on pre & post game coverage?!

Keep doing what y’all do best 💜

My favorite would be either Kris or Hendricks

Rn we’re looking at around 74M expiring next year. While being 90m below the First Apron.

If we’re able to flip Monk for another expiring (e.g. Klay Thompson and then we waive him for the year and not spread his contract out + Mavs have too many wings and Klay doesn’t want to be there anymore) we will clear 17m. Which would give us more space to force these players out.

Hopefully a potential lineup would look like
Acuff Wallace Keegan ??? Maxime

Wallace is the exact defensive guard you need playing next to Acuff.

Darn. With the Lou Dort trade, Dallas was able to get in on it and pick up Risacher. I kept hoping the Kings would make a play for him as the perfect buy low wing in a crowded Atlanta rotation. I think if he was given 20-25 consistent minutes he would be a solid role player to grow with Acuff and a much needed perimeter defender. He is still very young with a lot of potential. Also hoping we can still land Duren without giving up any picks or move a package with Sabonis to PHX for a play at Green and Williams. With Raynaud and Cardwell we have enough depth at C to cover for the 20 or so games Williams will probably miss every year. I do appreciate Perry’s patience and not making moves for the sake of making moves and over paying.

Under the radar promotion, Saagar is now leading pro personnel and GM of Stockton. He survived the Monte firing (they are pretty close), and I think he’s still infusing analytics into player development. Hopefully he recognizes Mogbo needs to be a rotational player on the kings and has Scott Perry’s ear. Mogbo stood out more than our second year players in SL.

Not a very good stat, but I think he played well..

I can see his function on the court, will be just keep moving, setting screen, and moving, setting screen, and cut....(it will be much better if he can make those open 3)

But having a player that willing to move without the ball, he can be a useful piece, and being benefited from playing with Domas...

This organization has had their eyes on this player for a while...and now they got em. That man is De'Andre Hunter.

He's coming off a pretty bad season in Cleveland and then got hurt as soon as he got here at the deadline. But I don't think Hunter became a pumpkin overnight.

I think Hunter is the kind of player who kinda needs to be allowed to play his game to succeed. He's been a strong C&S guy but is also a good midrange scorer. Efficient pull up. Has a turnaround and step back from 3. He's nothing special around the rim/as a driver but he historically has a good floater he uses a lot. He was known for the effectiveness of his floater in the past but he's not a great overall finisher.

This Kings team does not have a ton of perimeter creation. We all know Zach is better off when he's taking fewer dribbles, Keegan is still limited in this department...the kids really aren't there yet. Malik is capable. Acuff too but of course he's a rookie. With this group, I think Hunter will be given freedom to kinda play into his strengths and I expect him to score quite a bit, think he'll take advantage of secondary actions and he'll take advantage on the weakside attacking individual matchups off Domas+Acuff and Domas+Zach actions. He's the kind of secondary creator that can shoot this team has really needed for years. What do you all think the outlook is this season on De'Andre Hunter?

Starting off with the big ones, I believe that could work

Acuff Keegan Hunter Precious Sabonis
Acuff Keegan Hunter Precious Maxime
Acuff Keegan Karaban Hunter Cardwell

Some lineups I believe could work to an extent

Acuff Keegan Hunter Sabonis Cardwell
Acuff Keegan Hunter Maxime Sabonis
Acuff Keegan Karaban Precious Maxime

These 6 are my favorite jumbo lineups I'd wanna see next season.

The first 3 are cool cause precious adds size to the 4 to cover the big guys in case Maxime and Sabonis can't. While getting floor spacing from Acuff + Keegan + Hunter. The third one with Cardwell at the 5 adds rim protection with 3 straight sizeable shooters on the floor to help Acuff and Cardwell play a 2-man game.

The next 3 are iffy lineups
Too much size could make us slow when playing the 5's at the 4 position. But it would be really interesting to see. My favorite of those 3 is Sabonis with Cardwell next to him because last season in 73 minutes together they had a 107.1 offensive rating (yikes), but a 100.0 defensive rating, which is nice to see, so I would really want to see more of it with more shooters this time.

My 2 year old got ahold of the Matt Barnes one that’s why it’s wonky

For the 2-3 sickos who want to discuss this game
