They recovered nicely from CP's departure and will still be a playoff team.

If you combined Lou, Milos and Beverly....that's Damn near equal to Cp3.



Think we can get a waiver to have 3 guys at pg with the other 4 starters on the floor?

Yeah, they will be a playoff Team if they can remain relatively healthy.

But, they need to start Milos.

Playing him and Blake together creates so many opportunities for DJ and Gallo.

Both are really good playmakers.

Sadly, both are also shit defenders.

Push the tempo and win 120-116 games.

Kenyon Martin is a POS.....but Jeremy Lin's response was a class act all the way.

Yep. Lin made him look like the fool that he is.

Let's call it what it is.

It was fucking racist.

We don't own the patent on dreadlocks.

With everything that's going on in this Country, he picked the shittiest time EVER to be divisive.

How's Milos' defense? I heard it was pretty bad and really the only thing that could hold him up from getting major minutes.

Shout out to my Dude, @Win TWINS!!!

The Basketball Gods are smiling on Minny this year.

Congrats on #4 and Go Timberpups!

Dear God, he makes Nash look like Wilt....lol

It's pretty horrific.

But, DJ and Beverly can mitigate the damage reasonably well.

When Blake, DJ, Milos and Beverly were on the court together it was awesome.

That should be the starting lineup along with Gallo...imo

Yeah DJ should help with some back side defensive help and Beverly can at least shadow the best offensive guard for the opposing team. But yeah I heard he's pretty bad. But on the flip side I've seen some of his highlights and he's going to be really, really fun to watch play.

Dreadlocks go back to ancient India and Egypt.

I honestly don't understand why they signed George Hill.

Just go with the youth movement like the Lakers and Philly.

Hill and ZBo aren't enough to leapfrog the Clippers, Nola, Denver, JAZZ who will all be fighting for the 6-8 seeds.

Heck, I think Dallas will be better than the Kings.

I guess they didn't think Fox was ready.

Hill might have been a Laker if not for the Kings' offer. I think the Lakers are going to need better (and more veteran) PG depth than Ennis and whomever else makes the final roster.

 

[Bolts]

That's pretty low. I'd give them around 34-36 wins.

I don't think they've cracked 35 wins since 2006 or 2007, hard to imagine them getting there in a rebuild year with so many young players. The talent is there, but a lot of inexperience to go with it.

He is absolutely perfect for the Clippers.

All style, no substance...lol

He's already my Favorite Clipper.

I'm the biggest fan of pointing out hypocrisy, and Lin got him on the Chinese tattoos.

Agree.

Hopefully, you trade for one since Deron Williams is about the best FA pg on the market.

Stay away from the surly sg in a pg body, Monta Ellis.

How much are those kids going to play though? Looks like most of them are being pushed to the bench by vets (Hill, Randolph, and Koufos & Bogdanovic if you want to call them vets). Looks like Fox, Jackson, WCS, Giles, Skal are all rotation players for now, with only Hield starting (and VC will get a lot of minutes behind him).

My biggest issue , outside of the racist undertones, is he went out of his way to be offensive.

Why even make a video?

If you wanna do podcasts, why criticize him for his appearance?

Shit, if we want to be critical of guys looks, Milos Teodosic and Caleb Swanigan of the Blazers look like homeless people.

Definitely slim pickings. Maybe Udrih or Canaan doesn't make the final cuts for the Pistons or Warrirors. Cavs may trim a PG as wellm (although been-there, done-that with Calderon).

Signing Hill, ZBo, and VC wasn't about trying to sneak into the bottom half of the playoffs(even though that would be an awesome surprise), it was to help mentor the young guys so they can be even better in a year or 2 when the Kings really want to make the playoffs. Signing Hill also takes pressure off Fox so he doesn't have to score 15-20 points per night to justify his top 5 selection. It might suck at times when certain young players struggle to get minutes but it happens.
