Matisse Thybulle drawing interest from Warriors, Kings
Multiple NBA sources said the Golden State Warriors have had internal discussions about Thybulle and that they do like him as a defensive stopper. The Sacramento Kings are also reportedly monitoring his availability. A league source confirmed the interest, saying Kings coach Mike Brown is a fan of Thybulle, who would add a defensive presence to Sacramento’s starting lineup. The Kings (28-21), who surprisingly sit at third place in the Western Conference, are pondering upgrades for a postseason push after an NBA-record 16 straight seasons without a playoff appearance. The Kings’ and Warriors’ interest makes sense and is something to pay attention to.

The Kings want “a more defensive-minded option on the perimeter” and they are “monitoring the availability of Philadelphia’s Matisse Thybulle,” per @Marc Stein.
Sacramento has the NBA’s second-best offense, but their defense currently ranks 24th: basketballnews.com/stories/kings-… – 4:38 PM

More on this storyline
So Thybulle was shopped last summer. Sources said the Sixers even attempted to trade him to the Portland Trail Blazers on draft night as part of a three-team deal that would have brought the Houston Rockets’ Eric Gordon to Philly. -via The Philadelphia Inquirer / February 1, 2023
Sacramento is said to be monitoring the availability of Philadelphia’s Matisse Thybulle as the Kings, unexpectedly holding the West’s No. 3 seed after a league-record 16 consecutive seasons out of the playoffs, ponder the pursuit of a more defensive-minded option on the perimeter. -via marcstein.substack.com / January 31, 2023
Clemente Almanza: Matisse Thybulle on SGA: “He plays in a weird pace. So it’s hard to time. As a defender, you get used to being able to anticipate things and because he’s kind of offbeat in how he takes steps and moves, it can catch people off guard.” -via Twitter @CAlmanza1007 / January 12, 2023
