Someone needs to tell Vlade that there is a position called Small Forward.

The Kings play a wonderful counter move to show that they, not Charlotte, are truly the dumbest franchise in the league.

I don’t think Chicago matches that.

don't they almost have to. Otherwise the Butler trade looks awful. They also were looking at signing him at 16 million a year so another 4 isn't a ton.

Not really. Markkanen looks like a keeper — you don’t need to match bad contracts just because you trade for him.  It does give OKC two days to negotiate with Chicago for a Melo salary dump, as if Chicago matches, that trading partner is gone.

Absolutely not.  The Butler trade is what it is.  Significantly overpaying to re-sign LaVine isn't going to make it better.  What it would do is eliminate their opportunity to use their cap space for salary dump trades to get some additional picks.

Kings miss out on a good player which is good for us. I know the contract was terrible but I'm only worried about the pick
