It’s fine I guess if they want to give them kudos for creating cap space, but seems like an A grade should have only been warranted if they had extracted a pick from us. Yes, Barnes is over point, but he’s still a talent. The C- grade for us is stupid.... with all that said I realize trade grades are almost as dumb as draft day grades.
JJackson, Zbo to Dallas for Harrison Barnes

LeBron needs to STFU. No it is not the best way to be traded but you get paid 25M to play a game you love, these are the somewhat unfortunate tradeoffs 99.99% of us would be willing to make. It is a false narrative too that fans side with the team over the player when the player wants to leave. I don't see Anthony Davis being excoriated for his desire to leave the Pelicans, it is the manipulation of the agent to try to force a trade to unite with another one of his clients that rubs people the wrong way. Durant was rightfully criticized not for wanting to no longer play with ball dominant guy like Westbrook but for taking the easy path and joining up with the enemy. James was not even criticized when he joined LA, if he was it was a very miniscule percentage of fans. Most recognized the chaos with CLE and the bad management.
These people literally make fun of Vlade everyday. He said "i had a better trade for boogie" and they take it as "duhhh i suck at this ball thing...duuhh..."! It was clear the other trade offer was rescinded. They laughed when he picked bagley! They predicted the kings to be the worst team in the west! The questioned the Bejeli signing! They said Boogie trade was the worst in history that Vlade was a clown!
Well that clown put together the most fun kings team to watch since he suited up for them. He did it with no known stars but has at least 3 future all stars on this team. They are pushing for the playoffs for the first time since 2006. And outside the warriors and maybe the rockets, i guarantee no team wants to see them in a 7 game series (if for nothing else then they are liable to run the legs off your team amd leave them wiped for the second round)! ESPN doesnt know crap!

No game thread tonight? Probably for the best

Dallas doesn't exactly have a stellar record attracting marquee talent despite all their supposed advantages, they usually get the 2nd or 3rd pick of the litter (ie the guys that the Kings try to shoot for), and they almost always overpay. And while Luka and Porzingis are nice players I haven't been reading about players that can't wait to join up with them to relive their college glory or Olympic summer. Vucevic is supposedly in their sites, so maybe they will try to build the all Euro team.
Well I've always rooted for Barnes as he played hs near my hometown. He was always known as a high character guy who was a straight A student.
On the court, he could be a guy that flourishes in a complementary role now that he had his crack at the alpha role.
The Kings have 1 year to evaluate him and either sign him to a more reasonable contract or go in a different direction. Low risk high reward
