#SacramentoKings #NBA #LightTheBeam
I’m getting a little tired of hearing what the kings almost did. Every team is going to talk about talks they had with other teams to raise hype on their player. I’m glad we are not over extending to get a player and loose the flexibility for the future. We need to make the trades that fit what we need. In the past we gave up to much and now we are fixing that. It takes time.
Kuzma to the Kings while keeping Barnes should be the trade we all want
Pass on Barnes
Hell no let barn go
Keep Barnes here awesome
Barnes😂😂😂
And why would we want Barnes
I would love to see a trade happen with our 13th pick, but like you said, it is ultimately up to the other team to accept it. And for some reason, that hasn't been the case lately with "almost done deal" trades. Fingers crossed for this one.
Truthfully, these updates made me kinda sad, hearing what could have been kinda sucks. I have really high expectations for this off season, so If we don't make a "decent" amount of trade moves, it's gonna be another long season of if's and but's, up's and down's, either way, life long fan, I'll be here for it...
Thanks for the updates as always Mr George :)
Monte's expertise, almost getting things done.
30 teams in the NBA dawg, you think Monte the only GM on the phone?
@@raybandzz3582just get it done Monte !!!!
He drafted Haliburton Murray. Got Sabonis got monk and huerter which all got Sac to the post season 2 years in a row. Best anyone has done for Sac in 17 years. He has been very competent as a and actually and factually have got things done.
@@terrillt426 lately he has not been getting things done .
@@raybandzz3582 He's only had about 2 years to get Kuz. Looks like he failed again. Idk why you guys insist on defending this guy
Why'd you put so much emphasis saying Giddey has "clear off-court issues"? I heard this whole thing is pretty overblown and his issues are pretty *minor
I’m liking Tristan da Silva. Him and Keegan together seem like they could be a good combo, both offensively and defensively. If Williams is still there, take him.
We gotta work with what we got and we ain’t go much to give
Draft and athletic long high flyer might be our best underrated investment
How many times have we said this exact thing? Monte is one of the least aggressive GM's of all time. 🤕 Next Video... Kings were THISSSS close to landing Kyle Kuzma 👌🏽
Great points
There is a strong possibility 13 and some players above that will be much better than Caruso. I’m not upset about it. As for the Thunder- they are good because of the draft. Every smaller market team is. Willing to pay something like 2 first rounders or the 13 pick+ other players for a player who was undrafted doesn’t make any sense in the long run. Draft is undervalued right now.
Kuzma doesn’t want to play in Sac so why would you want him? In fact he openly talked Smack about Sacramento and said he wants nothing to do with us.
Was telling these comment sections all year the East was MUCH better then given credit for.
3-4 teams in the East would have beat Dallas this year.
Kings FOR SURE have A legit chance to represent western conference in the finals next season absolutely.
This trade will make OKC look bad. Giddey is head over heels better then Caruso and its not even close.
Caruso didn't make Kings championship contenders next season. There is a better move for Kings then Caruso. Caruso won't even see 30 minutes per game for OKC next season
@mattgeorgesac: In the past, Monte has kept everything very close to his vest, and rarely did any reports like this get out. Do you think, lately? Since we're hearing so much more, these leaks /reports, are so everyone ( media,NBA GMs, fans) can sort of learn a little more of how monte's being shut down?
I didn’t know you were a Warriors fan Mr. George
Jessup Warriors. It's the university I went to.
A PF OR CENTER WOULD B NICE
Fox isn't going anywhere. When it's all said and done He will go down as the best King in franchise history.
He almost averaged 30 ppg last season and it was considered an 'off' season.
Kings bring on Kuzma and another lock down defensive player Kings are right there in the mix.
We nearly made the playoffs as well.....
Not someone needed for championship no loss
Almost ain’t good enough..thunder up!!🤡🤡😭😭😂
Close is no win. We need to make a swing for the fences and get a good player and get deep in the playoffs.
Mikal bridges to the Knicks made me sick
Ehh I think If I was Chicago I would take the Josh Giddy trade over Davion and the 13th pick. Giddy is only 21 and is already a solid player.
Caruso would be great, but do we really need another guard right now?
Almost literally the story of the kings life
Think Kings could offer NYK a sign and trade for OG
I am hoping for a trade, with the Wizards, for Kyle Kuzma!
Should’ve could’ve would’ve, the Monte McScared way.
Please take Kuzma, as a Wizards fan, he is a good guy but shoots too many 3 pointers with loads of time on the 24 second clock.
KK is a three and me player
Not a 3 and D guy
Yeah we almost had Siakam too.Smdh McNair ⌛️
Are they open up the g 1 center for draft night? Please let me know thx matt.
No i don't believe so
@@LockedOnKings booo that would be cool tho beat the heat out here sac is on 🔥 right now lol. Thx for letting me know
So glad the draft is hours away so we can stop all this speculation and listening to Matt trading Davon Mitchel in 30 different hypothetical scenarios. With Caruso and Bridges both traded already I think it's more likely than not the Kings make the 13th pick. I think Fox isn't leaving as long as they are winning and they remain stable, if Monte and Brown get blown out I think he's a ghost
I think we should stop talking about trading or was about to trade rather than what we did and we can do. Trade is done and it’s a done deal no use talking about we were close
Why do we keep hearing about what the kings could have had? Let's move on.
You can't mention Davion for every trade and then "like him." You disliked him BEFORE you liked him! What? Caruso isn't the be-all end-all.
It really disgusts me that the kings can't get squat done smh now the Knicks got bridges just another player the kings couldn't get smh monte please do something big shock us all confidence that you can get something done is at an all time low for us kings fans move some 1st round picks if you have to they are not gold plus kings aren't exactly known for developing draft picks anyways
Monty ain’t shjt, we arnt playing horse shoes here, almost = fail
You’re overvalueing Caruso Matt, thank god you’re not our gym😬
Kings always nearly have things 🤷🏻♂️
Alex Caruso is just Kevin Huerter with slightly better defense and worse shooting though.
Just draft Edey and stop with these dumb trades for old washed up 30 something year old players.
Caruso just came off back to back all nba defense seasons ??
I almost cared
No way they somehow keep barnes and hurter
If the wizards want expirings and picks for kuzma (some teams just like opening their cap flexibility) we can offer Davion Sasha and Duarte and two picks and that was something that a couple of wizards podcasters thought was good
@@youngorochi2 picks? If you’re talking about 2 1st rounders of course they would like that.
lol kings almost had kuzma who’s next. Lame moral victories for coming in second every damn time
How do we not worry about Fox? This news means he's gone, so let's stop kissing his behind.
Almost....thats the name of Apocalypto tribal member who almost did great things, but never did
Almost doesn't count
Kings stater tattoo free. Good for the NBA in China.
Bottom line deal didn't get done & to think all they got was josh giddey who is good but he's no star kings couldn't top that offer i wonder i hope monte really gets something done starting draft night no more well we tried smh
If he really did offer the 13th pick for a one year rental of Caruso. He did try. What do you want him to do? Offer 2 first round picks?
@@justmyopinion8395 I would of threw in Sasha or duarte maybe that could of made a difference & you don't trade for Caruso unless he agrees to re-sign no one year rentals for pick #13 sorry also no on 2 first rounders that's a bit too much I think
Matt don’t forget, there is a little thing called free agency bud, trading the pick isn’t the only way to get better this offseason
But we don't have money under the cap to do that.
The Kings have very little cap space (a cheap MLE) and aren't known for attracting free agents. The biggest moves they can make from here on are in trades and on draft night.
Kings needs to trade away overpaid players for picks
@@TheHappyCoder You mean they need to trade away their picks with overpaid players for better players right? cause that's the only option to get better right now. You have to add a pick to those overpaid players and hope you can trade for a player like Kuzma or Caruso. Otherwise why would the teams take your overpaid player? Or else you are trading away that "overpaid player" and getting a worse player at comparable salary and your team is worse. Unless you want to completely rebuild right as we are set to try to win which would be a very bad idea.
If Monte fails to get Kuzma, he is officially washed and should be fired.
Doubt Monte even knows Kuzma wants to come to Sac in the first place, bro's busy shopping for sweater vests
