In this episode of On The Ball with Ric Bucher, Ric dissects the rumor of renewed future trade talks between two struggling teams, the Golden State Warriors and Sacramento Kings, that would involve Jonathan Kuminga, Buddy Hield and Moses Moody for Kings All-Star forward Domantas Sabonis and promising young guard Keon Ellis. Ric explains why the deal would be a slam dunk for the Warriors but makes no sense for the Kings, and proposes a more scintillating but controversial trade that would benefit both teams -- one that involves Warriors' cornerstone Draymond Green. Ric also examines the ongoing feud between former NBA power forward Kenyon Martin and Green, as well as the war of words between former Warrior and current Dallas Maverick Klay Thompson and Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant, and ties both disputes together as a by-product of the Warriors' dynasty and a means of revenge for the way Green and Thompson carried themselves during those winning days.
