abdomlahor Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Kings gonna King. Cousins and Casspi to NOLA for Buddy Hield, Tyreke Evans and Langston Galloway, plus a 2017 1st and 2019 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hornso Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Simply horrific trade. Couldn't believe it when I heard it had gone through...but like you said Kings gonna King. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BG_Villa_Fan Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 (edited) Kings are the Aston Villa of the NBA. Edit : That said, there are legit reasons why they got so little for him. They had to commit 5yr/$209mil to him in the summer - tough thing to bind your franchise to such a malcontent and loser like him. And if they had waited until the summer to trade him, but without giving him the extension, then they would have got lowballed even worse. It was just a complete mismanagement of an asset.

abdomlahor Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 What got me was Vlade saying there was a better offer on the table two days ago. Why would he even say that? I love him and I appreciate everything Vivek has done for the team and the city but they've both got to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 20 NBA teams could beat that offer if they wanted. Supposedly they took the NO one because Vivek was a big fan of Buddy Hield and thought he had Steph Curry potential It was basically Vlade saving face by telling journos about the better offer and pointing at Vivek. Both have to go, I agree, they're totally incompetent. Vlade didn't even know basics from the CBA when he was hired and he probably still doesn't know it in details now. His deals have been abysmal for the franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His deals have been abysmal for the franchise. I heard about the Curry thing. I wanted Hield in the draft but he obviously didn't fall. From everything I've heard he's struggled to adapt to the NBA so we'll see how that goes. Gotta think we're in tank mode now though. Hope the Sixers suck enough that they won't want to swap their pick with ours and maybe even trade up to pick a PG like Ball or Fultz.

I like the Kings and hope you have luck, but the last few years they've made terrible trades and acquisitions and they can't even bottom out and go full tank mode because of that Philly trade as they don't control their own picks in 2017 and 2019. Have to hope for incredible luck with the ping pong balls ( both Sacramento and Philly to go in top 3 ) and in free agency in the summer. Incredible new arena though!

abdomlahor Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 Yeah but I've only really gotten into the NBA the past couple of seasons so I've been spared the majority of the suckage. Can't see it changing any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hornso Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Lou Williams to Houston for Brewer & a 1st. Nice addition for the Rockets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdomlahor Posted February 26, 2017 Author Share Posted February 26, 2017 So two polarising performances from Sac against the Nuggets and the Hornets. Nice to see Cauley-Stein and Skal getting some more minutes at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdomlahor Posted February 27, 2017 Author Share Posted February 27, 2017 Boogie 0-3 since joining New Orleans. Must feel right at home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hornso Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Put a little money at the start of the season. Houston over 43.5 wins (1 more needed) and Golden State under 67.5 wins (4 more defeats). Had almost given up on the GSW bet, but losing 2 in a row since Durant has been injured gives me a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdomlahor Posted March 25, 2017 Author Share Posted March 25, 2017 Devin Booker dropped a 70 last night against the Celtics. Apparently the Suns were fouling a lot to allow him more chances to score in the fourth quarter when they were already beaten, but still, amazing for a 20 year old. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hornso Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 My Pistons imploding, end of the regular season can't come soon enough. Incredible game by Booker, thought it must have been a mistake when I first saw it. Only 4 three pointers too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdomlahor Posted March 26, 2017 Author Share Posted March 26, 2017 kings win 22-3 run in the 4th to beat the clippers. this team has so much potential. there's a solid young nucleus of skal labissiere, buddy hield, willy cauley-stein and malachi richardson, and even george papagiannis has been decent of late. bogan bogdanovic is coming over from fenerbahce in the summer too in addition to two potential top 10 picks in the upcoming lottery. they for sure could have handled the cousins deal much better but it looks as if vlade and vivek, by hook or by crook, have pulled something off here.

dubliner Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Incredible bravery from Isaiah Thomas to play last night. As a Celtics fan, the fact we lost game 1 last night is irrelevant in the context of things. He's one of the most likeable stars in the NBA and my heart went out to him last night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
