TheSteinLine: Sources say that the Kings, at this juncture, do not see a pathway to a workable Johnson deal with the Nets.

Welp. Went from Kuminga to 1 first and an interesting young player to the best offer being a lottery protected first,

Surely seems teams have cooled off on CJ and he’ll be staying with us. Hopefully teams are just posturing but it doesn’t seem like teams are willing to pay Marks price for CJ.

At that price, we might as well keep him and try again in the offseason. Just need to make sure he doesn’t ruin the tank.
