There is also a psychological component that James might not have considered, with Monte not playing games and trading down to get Murray. Keegan walks in with the assurance and confidence and fire with "the kings want me" + "no one believes in me" + "i wanna repay the team" and i believe those components added to Keegan's game. Also, Keegan started the year struggling. Imagine the difference it makes to your confidence as a young man and player with "the kings wanted me" vs "the kings traded down for me"?
Nobody believes in me, because I got drafted 5th overall instead of 4th? It’s not that deep. If Monte could of realistically traded back and still gotten Keegan, he would have.
I’m a Pistons fan from Sac and seeing how everything played out, they way things worked out is what works best for both teams. Ivey can on late and is going to be a great player. He’ll also be a great fit with Cade.
You got to the playoffs because you had Fox and Sabonis.Then added Monk and Kev. Keegan alone didn’t make this a playoff team. You easily could’ve made the playoffs with Ivey.
