TRADE: Wizards sending Jonas Valanciunas to Kings

[Neal Romer]

For basically nothing. Great move.

The Kings are intriguing man, Im tellin yall. Theyre legit playoff sleepers after these midseason moves.

I imagine he's going to come off the bench and split time at C and PF behind Sabonis and Murray.

Sabonis
Murray
DeRozan
LaVine
Monk

Valanciunas

I would think so. Im sure he and Sabonis will see some time on the court together for stretches but obviously JV will be the one to cover all the minutes that Domas sits.

I saw some of Lavine's press conference, it sounds like hes really psyched to be there. I think he and DD have some unfinished business in showing the world what they can do together.

As nice as Fox was, Monk is really the better assist guy anyway tbh and theyve got Domas as well to distribute, Keon Ellis is a better defensive guard than Fox. Theyve got DD and Lavine to cover the scoring, and Jonas now backing up Sabonis is just gravy.

I think theyre really a more complete team than they were even throughout the recent win streak. Im really interested to see what they do the rest of the way.

Big Val has to be the most disrespected center the last 10 years. I can't believe he isn't an obvious choice for a contender, at least off the bench.

[BarberSchool]

Kings now a legit playoff squad.

Great size.
Great shooting from almost every rotation player.
Dominate rebounding on both sides.
48min of annoyingly wide/heavy/physical Screeners.
48min of offensive-lineman-grade Gortat screens for LaVine & DeRozan.

Well, they had a few years to show us what they could do together, and up until now they've showed us jack squat.

What's Kings rotation going to look like now?
