Are the Kings expecting real stuff for Bogdan Bogdan, or more along the lines of "take Dedmon and give us some seconds"?

I have had my eye on D.J. Wilson on the Bucks, but I’m not sure how he would actually fit on the Kings. I think he deserves some court time and he’s just not going to get it on the Bucks. Throw in that Pacers pick and maybe we can squeeze DiVincenzo out too.

I really like Bogdan though and would rather they just keep him. How about Dedmon Bogdan and Corey Joseph for Horford

Dedmon is on a 3yr contract making $13.3/yr, with 21-22 not guaranteed. He has started to play better the last like two games. Still can’t hit a 3 but his defense has been solid. I don’t think he’s negative value because that’s really not that much money. The Kings should be looking for young players and picks still. I don’t expect to get much for Dedmon.

Bjelica is a great fit though and I would expect to get more back for him. He’s not the most agile guy but he can hit deep 3s (43% on 4.5 a game) and play a little small ball 5. He’s a crafty rebounder too. He’s only making about $7 a year and next year is not guaranteed. He is 31 so I wouldn’t mind moving off of him for one of the Heat’s young talents.

What do the Heat have to offer and are willing to move?

The Rockets' small ball should be interesting. I'd be worried about rebounding just as much as defense, but that kind of spacing on offense must be tempting to try.

They immediately have some big tests for the new lineup, too. Between now and the break:

@ LA. AD is a tough matchup even when you do have a center.
@ Pho. Ayton's going to have troubles defensively, but how do they keep him off the glass?
Utah. Gobert is a nightmare matchup. Great defender, efficient finisher, strong rebounder. He may be lethal against them.
Bos. Theis is out, so Kanter would normally start. But the Celtics play small a lot, and may try to match them, especially with Kanter still bothered by the hip. That should be a fascinating game.

The one I disagree with here is the Jazz. Iirc the rockets have been a big problem for Gobert, playing him off the court in the playoffs with their small ball lineups

It’s ok to think that the Warriors did ok considering their situation, and also think it’s loving hilarious that they got Wiggins and are trying to spin that as a win.

That is an issue I have with the way games are reffed. On one hand, it’s cool that they let them play hard at the end of games and in the playoffs. But on the other hand, why do they ref one way all game and all season, but suddenly switch it up? It’s definitely bit the Kings in the rear end a few times this season, with blatant fouls not being called in the final few seconds. I just want consistency.

Why should the best bad team get the better draft pick? The worse teams need the most draft help.

I saw a guy on Twitter (with a Laker pic) respond to Ja/Dillon talking trash to Iggy by saying it was bush league, and they’ll always be a small market with that kind of attitude. Like they’re suddenly going to have the market share of LA.

Why don’t these bad teams just be better? Why don’t the small market teams just get more fans? Seems simple enough.
