He learned plenty when. He signed with Bosch and Wade,

He will turn AD into another Bosh/Love type player...Better start practicing the 3 pointer

 

[msgkings322]

little late, but yep...

ALMOST removes the stench of LeClown being here...

Dude LeBron is who brought him here. You're becoming a caricature

if you say so...

STILL partially removes his stench...

So now you're saying it's LeBron's fault that Bosh developed a blood clot problem?

Um...

Dude is a total troll with some crazy ideas.

But he didn't say that.

He said Davis will be a spot up shooter now.

Which is silly, because Davis is a lot better than Love and Wade and LeBron were both a lot better than Bosh.

LOL

GL getting someone to take that contract

I actually do think Paul's contact is tradeable. You would have to attach assets to it for sure, but he is movable IMO.

The problem is that the Rockets are trying to get better and contend next year.

I don't see how they could possibly find a trade for Paul AND remain in contention.

Where have you been? AD already takes 3 per game, averaging 33% this season and 34% last year.

Everything he says so ridiculously retarded that I seldom give him a straight response. As of right now, the Lakers the Lakers will need all of the Lebrons shooting and Davis just to make the playoffs.. They are going to need a lot to be a contender and need much more, so Davis being a spot up shooting is a retarded response from a really pathetic excuse of a man

I gotta admit the timing of the laker trade caught me off guard. I assumed all of the front offices would be focusing on the draft.

I guess it makes sense when the lakers were using their pick in the trade and everyone knows the pelicans will pick Zion.

Pretty much what I thought from the start.

Makes sense.

The Pelicans would probably select a different player at 4 than the Lakers would. Hence the time crunch. Would have mattered a lot less with the Knicks potential offer.

Kings Not Expected To Chase Nikola Vucevic

The Kings are hoping for an upgrade at center, but they won’t pursue Orlando’s Nikola Vucevic when free agency starts June 30, according to James Ham of NBC Sports Bay Area.

Vucevic is in line for a huge raise after posting his best NBA season and his first All-Star appearance. The 28-year-old averaged 20.8 points, 12.0 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.1 blocks in 80 games this year. Despite reports that Sacramento might be one of his free agent suitors, Ham states that he doesn’t fit the up-tempo approach that the Kings prefer.

That’s also true of fellow free agent big man Jonas Valanciunas, who opted out of his deal with the Grizzlies last week. He’ll be seeking a significant raise over the $17.6MM salary he bypassed.

Ham suggests the Kings might opt for a short-term solution, seeking a one- or two-year contract with the Knicks’ DeAndre Jordan or the Hawks’ Dewayne Dedmon. Jordan will turn 31 this summer and Dedmon is almost 30, so neither is viewed as a long-range option.

Sacramento also hasn’t ruled out the possibility of keeping Willie Cauley-Stein, as Ham notes the team is expected to make him a restricted free agent by issuing a qualifying offer before June 30. GM Vlade Divac said the front office still sees potential in the former No. 6 pick, but has been frustrated by his up-and-down performance.

“We would like to keep Willie in terms of his talent potential,” Divac said, “but he still needs to show us the consistency that we are looking for. We are talking.”
