This Duren S&T to SAC won't happen
Obvious leverage play. But more importantly, the Kings have some of the worst contracts in the league to match salaries with.
Sabonis is a poor fit, a guy who lives off dribble handoffs and being the primary creator. We have Cade. He is also, even for the shit we give Duren, a much worse defender. Not to mention he's 30, making 45 and 48 the next two years.
Keegan Murray. A guy who people seem to have a positive opinion of because the 1 year they watched him play nationally, his rookie year, he was good. Keegan is about to start a 5-year, 140 million dollar contract. Keegan is a spot-up shooter with no signs of creation ability. And now can't shoot. His 3pt% dropping from 41, 36, 34, all the way to 28 last year.
Deandre Hunter. lol
Lavine. lol
These are all negative assets that, on their own, would need to be packaged with 1sts to get out of.
The only possible way this happens is if we legit get back all of Sac's draft capital. Which might be on the table with how dumb that shitty organization is.
