Ehh.. It's probably the best they can get.. Teams like Boston etc. had only trash to give.

A FRP even though lottery protected is still good to get one in 2024 or 2023 (ideal but not likely)

Is FRP unprotected?

[JeffS17]

Oh my god, poor Kev man... dude is the ultimate team guy and he's getting shipped to the worst franchise in the league.  I need to know the protections on that pick because they must be heavy for Sac to do it... if they are minimal protections, I like the trade.

Shiiiit. I knew we were going to f*** this up

Well why do it?  Unless something else is happening … this doesn’t help us at all

So this move saves Atlanta about $4 million this year and both players are expiring next year freeing them up for another move.  This also returns one of the picks in the Murray deal. Remembering 1 of those picks came in the Cam deal.

[Plainview1981]

Can Justin Holiday be cut? He sucked when he was here last time. KH isn't great, but this weakens the team's shooting even further.

Eh.... .A bigger move has to be coming. a 12-18 pick more than likely.

[dalamchops]

FRP ammo for KD or ayton?

[JeffS17]

Kev is a reliable, but expensive, bench piece.  This isn't the end of the world but I want to know what comes next.

Justin Holiday is not an NBA level player. Should be cut.

[thecampster]

This is a very good move for Kevin. He will get ample playing time with the ball in his hands, freedom to shoot.

Flexibilty, splitting contract into filler since his market isn't hot. Also can be waived to save on tax at end of season.

Doubt it. To me, Kev has more value than a mid first.

Until I see otherwise OO is like so many of our rookie contracts.  

Player shows a few glimpses of talent means they will become my homer fan best case scenario.  Any critical thinking about them is seen as someone not being a "real fan."   I am cheering for his success, but don't understand how he is seen as a top player in the league.  

Ok here is the example that came quick.

I don’t love this Red Velvet deal at all.

First reaction:

C/C- trade

Has Harkless even played lately? 

More moves coming? Hopefully.

 

[GameTime]

Pretty much the end for "keep the team and just add Murray" folks, right? Guess we all have to see what is next?
