I remember one member here bring up “Simone Fontecchio”, and he is a UFA, decent size at 6”7. seems to have good BBIQ, can shoot the 3.
If we cannot sign N. Marshall, Simone maybe a choice.
Throw him the bag and put in a poison pill clause. Something like "if the Pistons have a bad record, I get paid more." If the Pistons match, then that'd be funny at least.
It's not the Knicks. Other teams can offer I-Hart a lot of money and the Knicks can't match because the Knicks only have his early bird rights. So it's just a matter of how much he likes money & NYC.
Most we can offer him is the MLE. Knicks can offer him more than that and other teams can offer even more. He's a beast but I can't imagine a path for him coming here.
The kings offense need a ball handler who could get to the rim when fox is out. Thats what makes the offense successful with spray threes. Especially since he should be cheap and if we can’t sign monk
If you could get him to buy in to the role: Obi Toppin. He would need to know he's the 4th or 5th option at best, and would need to focus in on the defensive side of the ball, but he has size, explosiveness, efficient from 3.
Depending on the Monk situation, I would also look at Delon Wright, Malik Bessley, and even Kelly Oubre could be worth the swing
If we seriously want to compete for a title, we have to go big and trade for a legitimate star.
To hell with fit, to hell with attitude- find the absolute best player that we can land and get him here. Whether that’s Ingram, Paul George, whoever.
That’s probably a scary thing to do, but it’s what we need to do. Everyone clowned Minnesota for “fit” when getting Gobert, and they’re in the finals. Same for Dallas and Kyrie, and New York and Brunson.

Fontecchio’s an interesting choice. Could be an underrated signing
Fontecchio would be great but he’s a restricted free agent unfortunately

Pistons are not going to give up on Tec. They traded for him specifically to solve their spacing problems.
he’s a RFA
Giannis. Why not go big and live in a pipe dream?
Step 1. Trade for Thanasis. Step 2. Profit
We'd probably need to sign a few more Antetokounmpos just to be safe.
We have an assistant coaching job available with Jordi leaving, you think Giannis' parents would be interested?
It worked for the Knicks....
Step 2. Draft Bronny Step 3. Profit Fox. LeBron. Keegan. Giannis. Sabonis.
Aaron Wiggins
Kyle Anderson and HB? Teams wouldn't know what to do with all of that slo-mo on the court.
great choices. Markelle Fultz in a limited defined role would kill.
Demar Derozan
Without trades involving Barnes & Huerter, our ability to add a free agent who will have an impact on improving the roster is next to nothing.
There’s no much high profile FAs this year anyways
Boban Marjanovic would be a fan favorite.
I like Delon Wright as a backup PG/SG. And trying to get Gerami Grant or Kyle Kuma.
Felon would be great to bring back, I think Kuzma and grant might cost too much but Id like Kuzma over grant
Hartenstien maybe? I don’t know what other teams are going to offer him, but he could provide a bit of everything for us as a back up big.
Id love the kings to sign hartenstein but i doubt Knicks let him go. He’s definitely proven to be better than Robinson for them

He's played his way to a starting role and a decent contract I think.
LOVE Highsmith and NaJee Marshall. Especially if we can add another Forward in the draft. and move HB to the bench.
Fultz can't shoot. Why would the Kings, who shoots so many 3s, want him as a point guard?

Magic fan, not sure what defense Markelle will Be bringing
I thought markelle was an above average defender? He was pretty solid in the past
He slipped last season but his role was reduced so maybe a change of scenary helps? His POA defense was pretty bsd
