Hollinger: Sactown looking to move #4 pick and Udrih to move down in draft

jeffb · 05-22-2009, 09:47 PM

According to John Hollinger: The Kings would really like to get Rubio, and if the rumours of them wanting a PG are true and obtaining Rubio isn't in the cards at the #4 position then it makes no sense to use that pick on a player they could get at #6 or 7.

"The Kings would be looking to off load salary and perhaps gain a young player in the deal, with dumping Beno Udrih's contract being the holy grail."

Back up?

I would give them Banks and the 9th for Udrih and the fourth.

But that is my finaloffer.

Gurk · 05-23-2009, 12:32 PM

Why would Sactown even consider that. It makes no sense

They wouldn't want that. Both banks and Udrih have 3 years left and make roughly the same.

No thanks to Udrih.

I think the Kings will just take Holliday at 4

Better then Ukic, and the way Brian was talking he wants to get an adequate back up to Jose and i don't think it'll be AP. Not saying this is the answer at all but i'm sure BC will explore every option.

i give them kapono or i walk

The problem with giving them Kapono or Banks is, they want to cut payroll. Therefore we won't be trading up to the 4th pick unless maybe we give them the rights to Graham (final year/Qualifying Offer @ 3.4Mil).

#9/Graham (final yr/QO)

for

#4/Udrih (3yrs/19Mil remaining + PO) Yikes, wouldn't touch that

or

#9/Kapono (2yrs/12.8Mil remaining)

for

#4/Nocioni (3yrs/21Mil remaining + TO)

I don't see either of these happening.

Dark Knight · 05-23-2009, 09:26 PM

That Kapono for Nocioni would probably work. Throw in a couple future draft picks and I think Sactown might bite. And cash

They would do either trade in a heartbeat imo. But would we? They save alot of money in either senario. I wouldn't touch the first, but Nocioni i might.

Jose/FA or trade/Ukic
Harden (#4)/Delfino/Second draft pick? (bought by BC)
Marion/Nocioni/Graham?
Bosh/Pops/Hump
Bargnani/Rasho/O'Bryant

Nocioni is a far better player than Kapono. They moved Salmons to get him. No way the deal him for Jason "Waste of Space" Kapono.

Depends on how badly they want cap space. I agree, but at the same time Kapono only has two years left on his contract (12.8Mil) vs 3 yrs (21Mil) plus a possible 4th year.

that's what I think too, if they don't trade up to get Rubio

Ok, somebody needs to establish the idea that cap space isn't the be all end all. The Kings don't need it, they need good players. If they were ever going to try to dump someone now at this point it would probably be Beno as he's been a disaster as a starter. Nocioni is a very good player. Chances are they're going to be hard pressed to find a much better @ 3yrs for $7M/yr. Given the fact that Kapono is garbage I think its a ridiculous notion that they would move an impact player for a stiff and keep said stiff for two years all for the purpose of clearing $7M off the books two years down the road. We're not talking about a guy who is set to make $15-20M in his final year or nothing. Kapono for Nocioni will never happen in a million years. As I said, they moved the John Salmons for him and John had a pretty damn good year himself.
