Kings need to get faster not slower. No Thanks

Kings get slower for 1 year and then Simmonds becomes a trade chip and Lehtera’s off the books. They add Simmonds’ value, a LHD with 1st-pairing upside in Sanheim, a first, and a former first-rounder; they also get rid of Lewis, whose production was awful this year.

Not saying they would definitely move Doughty for this return, just saying that the Kings don’t really “get slower” over the long term with this move.
