This league is so backwards We out here guaranteeing $270M to players without playoff series wins but can’t justify paying $115M to a guy for 2 years who has taken a franchise to multiple conference finals and NBA finals appearances. Yeah age matters but cmon NBA is setting a horrible precedent for these young guys to play 4 years in the league then dip like (I.e. Ben Simmons)

I’ll tell you I like Tim Legler I like the way he breaks down trades and moves. He’s good at that. I agree you can’t play Brandon with Zion because he’s the dominant one. If only he could stay healthy. If healthy he take lead the team to better places.

[@dreamweaver80]

If I were the Kings I would look to go for Butler. He is the exact type of defender and veteran leader they need to compete and contend. A lineup of Fox, Monk, Butler, Murray, Sabonis would be nice. Trade Huerter, Barnes and picks.

[@kingmunchtv]

Miami not taking trash back for butler lol

[@dreamweaver80]

@@kingmunchtv They are not getting top notch players for him anymore. He is past his prime and 35 next season. At best, he is a 2-3 option and defensive stopper for a couple more seasons and veteran who can add toughness to a team. If he wants to win a title he needs to accept that. he is not winning a title as a number 1 guy. I don't think a first round pick, Huerter and Barnes is necessarily trash for a 35 year-old semi washed Butler.

[@michaelmcphee2006]

No team in their right mind would want Brandon Ingram. He can't handle not being the number 1 option, and you're not going to get every far if he is. I argued tooth and nail with Pelican's fans, insisting they should trade him while his value was high and build around Zion. But they were too enamoured with his mediocre carry job while ZIon was hurt. Now it's going to be pennies on the dollar.

[@SuperSaiyanRome]

I think people aren’t considering BI on Team USA probably hurt his mindset more than helped. Because there he had to be a team player and take a back seat. They tried getting Pels to be more about the team but BI is a killer he needs to get his buckets for them to win. He needs to realize that him going and scoring and being the killer he is. Will help the team. And Zion is a big man let that dude create for BI and be down low while BI does the perimeter mid-range. Only reason that’s tough is because they got Jonas Valanciunas down there
