Rockets at Kings tonight

Salary dump all the way. I doubt Portis gets resigned unless he comes on a cheap deal.

Porter is a good role player but on that contract and with them needing to move the big money it's not a surprise they had to salary dump him. Beal will definitely get a good return if they trade him.

Kings get Alec Burks. So now they start Bogi and have Burks as more offense off the bench?

What do the Cavs get?

A handjob at least?

Brandon Knight and a lottery protected 1st round pick, might be better than a handjob.

Brandon Knight and a lottery protected 1st round pick, might be better than a handjob.

And Chriss, pretty sure

Stacking them picks

Houston way of saying they messed up by acquiring chriss and knight in the offseason

Yeah, they get a future first round pick and 2 former first round picks.

Pretty predictable.

They also unloaded Ryan Anderson's contract in that trade, so not a total waste.

That deal was always bad contract for bad contract.

There’s more....Stauskas and Baldwin to Rockets in that 3-way

Sorry Warriors fans I hope to God Durant goes to NY the league needs some more balance.

Heard this on the radio, makes perfect sense. We know Durant is pretty emo and sensitive. He got bent out of shape over some minor negative headline in OKC before he left, he claims he couldn't leave his bed for days after deciding to leave, he created a burner twitter account, etc. This isn't really in dispute.

Why in the hell would be think he could handle the savagery of the NY media? No freaking way. He may leave but I can't see NY or Brooklyn

He has many reasons to stay and that's one, the media here is pretty chill and he's already beloved. He's also apparently pretty active in tech investments although Iggy is king there.

I don't think it's splitting hairs because at some point it's probably a decision the Dubs will be faced with (between Klay & Dray).

If KD stays yes, if he leaves no they can keep both of those guys

 

[Bolts]

I think Burks will be an offensive upgrade over Shumpert, but Shump brings more defense and he helped change the culture of the Kings to get them where they are.

 

[msgkings322]

lol it ain't happening this summer. KD wants to break in that new arena.

Another reason he may stay, but not a lock. I think it's 50/50, maybe 60/40 he stays. And I would be shocked if he stays more than one more year but who knows.

 

[msgkings322]

My God...If Simmons could shoot anywhere close to the way Klay can, he'd be unstoppable.

Simmons with Klay's shooting would be on the express train to GOATville

What does a trio of Conley, Blake and Drummond do for Detroit??

Drain their bank account?
