I agree....that trade and the Wall to SA trade blew my mind.

It would be a terrible trade but I honestly could see Pop trying one more Hail Mary and then watching the world burn after he retires.

I like the idea of the Kings taking a shot. But I'm not sure that Wiggins is the right guy to take that shot with.

Also Shumpert has been big for this team with defense, shooting, and chemistry. As crazy as it sounds I don't think they should trade him, it might be best to ride it out this season with the guys they have who like playing together and in the offseason decide if a trade makes sense.

Hokey but some funny moments

"Luke has been diagnosed with Lebron James"
"Oh no! How long does he have"
"2 weeks to 8 months"

The Ringer seems like a super fun place to work.

Well I disagree with that. If you could make a trade for a guy who could be a real difference maker, you dump Shumpert in a hot second.

If they're trading for Anthony Davis, of course. For Otto Porter or Wiggins and their big contracts? I wouldn't be so sure. Plus I think both would still be available for trade in the offseason if the Kings don't strike gold in FA. How many all star difference makers are gonna be available that the Kings could or should trade for?

Honestly, why do you care about the contract? The Kings aren't bringing in any max contract guys in the foreseeable future. They have tons of cap space. I think they are past the stage of tankapalooza. So now it's about acquiring talent. If the free agent market is unlikely to get you anything, then bringing in overpaid but talented players is not a terrible plan.

I'm not a fan of Wiggins, maybe a change of scenery will make him become the player people thought he could be pre draft but it's not a risk the Kings should take imo. I would much rather have Otto Porter, might be overpaid but I like him more as a 3 and D wing. And I'd still prefer not trade Shumpert for Porter, he's not untouchable in trades but he's brought a lot of value to this young team.

 

[trojanfan12]

I still think he is most likely to be the best playeri n the league next year in his age 35 season, which by in and of itself is unprecedented territory, but after that, its really hard/damn near impossible to give a 36 year old the benefit of the doubt as the best playeri n the league.

It's absolutely insane that he's still the best player in the game. I agree that it's going to be hard to see him as the best player when he's 36...but unless he just falls off a cliff...he's still likely to be top 5 and maybe still top 3. That's just ridiculous.

Amazing

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Great deal for the Nets.

Slightly more than Exum, slightly less than Clarkson and he's better than both.

How dare you!

I'm surprised at how Dinwiddie has improved his shooting. He is a pretty high volume 3 point shooter at 37% this year and he is very efficient in general. Clarkson is coming off the bench though. His per 36 numbers are pretty freaking good. 23.4 ppg 4.8 rpg 2.9 apg. A high volume shooter but both are playing great this year.

Dinwiddie isn't a starter either.

But, Clarkson is playing well.

So, how's about I replace Clarkson with Austin Rivers?

That make us square?

 

[DorianRo]

Crazy how bad the Rockets got this year after getting rid of a few defenders. Good lord. What a free-fall

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Shit the refs are bad this year.

Just called Kuzma for a nonexistent foul and then T’d him up for complaining about it.

 

[DorianRo]

Why is Stephenson such a shitty basketball player? Isn't one of if not, the best scoring high school player of all time? ROFLMAO

 

[Shanemansj13]

Hart is a really good defender especially in the post.

If I could keep 2 of these 4:

Ingram
Kuzma
Ball
Hart

I would keep Kuz and Hart
