Nuggets send
Marshall
Irvin
99 1st

Kings send
Gatling

Nuggets extend pick protection of 97 out (even though it wont happen)

Nice for Nuggets!

Not terrible for Kings but I feel like Gatling is a top 5 (maybe 10) player.

Accept

Kings cut Conrad McRae to make room

Top 5 is a bit much but yeah he should net at least one more not insignificant asset.

I wanted to put my own fingerprints on my team. Inside focus isn't my style.

He’s a top 5 scorer with the best FG % in the league. Kings dong even run inside offense. If they did, I think he’d be the 2nd leading scorer in the league.

dang, I should've offered horry.

I'd prefer Marshall, I think

Hmm I dunno. Obviously value-wise getting a player of Gatling's caliber is great, but Nuggets are already pretty much the best offense in the league with DRob and Jordan hogging the ball. Will Gatling even do 20+ PPG on that team? It's their defense that's "failing" (2nd best point diff lol) them, and Gatling's just making that worse.

Pretty solid for Kings. Donyell looks great, although like others I'd like to see another good asset alongside him. If the Nuggs lose pretty much everyone but MJ who's signed I guess it could be like a late teens pick.

Good for Nuggets. Decent for Kings, but I think JB just joined a bit late. Had his trade gone down last offseason, he'd have been able to get more for Gatling I think because people would have traded more for a guy like Gatling prior to the season starting rather than on the brink of the playoffs. Not his fault, obviously, and I Fully appreciate and understand wanting to make the team his own truly by means of moves.

This is an interesting point. I think Donyell/Gatling are pretty even everywhere, only that Gatling is a better scorer and the Nugs don't need scoring. So Tugs get better, but not much, and acquire higher-value player. Decent for Kings I suppose.

I like this new Kings GM. Weighed out all his options and went with the best direction for his team. Gatling’s value with his contract makes him a very valuable piece so I think they could of gotten more from Nuggets. I told him he’d get better offers in off season. Sometimes you just want to put your footprint on your roster.

Nice for both

You had by far the second best offer fwiw. I wanted to take yours but I couldn't make it work roster wise. Appreciate you being cool with me going in another direction after a couple days of me "stalling"

Great value for Kings who are able to retool while picking up a young asset and future pick

Added pick to futures thread

Done
