Good trade

 

[Joshoua]

A called the exact players involved

 

[Hansel]

Bad trade for a player who never pass the ball.

He’ll have to settle for 4th option I am concerned about the passing

No need for concern he’s joining the kings, not the other way around. He’s going to have to adapt to our culture if he’s wants to be part of our long term future

 

[Tetsujin]

A freaking class act.

We don't really play in a way that moves the ball through the hands of our best players in any kind of order. We just fastbreak and move the ball until we get a decent look or lane to the basket. Barnes doesn't strike me as a conflict of parts that may not fit.

 

[Kings_of_California]

Barnes is coming here and will play on our terms, not his. We are fast-paced rim runners. It fits his real strengths, not his Mavs iso ball.

If he's a ball stopper or weak passer, Joeger as our HC should be able to stop those habits and help him assimilate to a different style of play.

I can understand not liking the trade if you don't like Barnes as a player. But frankly, the price we paid isn't really debateable. We gave up close to nothing. Jax was trending towards a deep bench role.

 

[Cojc]

Yes I agree and I think he will work well in our system. Now the opponents are going to go crazy as we are going to run them out of the games. The small forward position just became a position of strength and he should get 30+ minutes a night with burks and Bogi taking up the rest.

What I love and what I wanted is to pick up people who were starting for their teams and had a good game as it will really make us much better.

He deserves a fair shake before declaring either way. And the Kings now have a player they passed up on selected in the 2012 draft originally.

Yes, I corrected my post in another thread. I'll keep an eye on this, hopefully he proves me wrong.

Ramona Shelburne said if we make the playoffs we keep our first round pick. is that true?

No, and I've no idea why she said that. It doesn't even make sense. I think she didn't know the answer to the question she was asked and just risked saying yes.

No, unless we have time traveled to another dimension where the NBA allows for takebacksies.

ESPN at it's finest......SMH

It's like some sort of weird reverse-protection.

Kings: We'll offer you our 2019 first round draft pick, unprotected.
Trading partner: Nope, we only want it if it's a lotto pick. Otherwise, we'd prefer to have absolutely nothing.

Welcome to the Superteam, just young. You'll find the water is just right.

She confused the terms of our pick the the Clippers pick owned by the Celtics

Even then she got the protection wrong.

I have a very good feeling about this. Yes yessss

 

[hoops4kings]

Great trade. Hope we can make a push for the PO.

 

[Swipa]

Any word on whether or not these guys will play tomorrow?

Not sure but I do remember Burks had a pretty damn good game in his first for Cleveland after the trade from Utah.

 

[Kings_of_California]

They are going to play. Vlade said so in his press conference. I mentioned it earlier in one of these threads.

Here's a virtual Harrison Barnes wearing Kings purple... looking good.

With these moves the Kings who are already a great 3pt shooting team, got better... Harrison BArnes is shooting over 6 3's per game this season at a 39% clip, thats gonna look great here, and actually speaking of the aesthetics --- Harrison Barnes jumpshot is very nice looking mechanics.

 

[kingsfan1984]

Barnes is a hard worker gym rat guy.

I imagine him and buddy jelling seamlessly off court working out togther.

Barnes has always been a little stiff like buddy "was". Perhaps buddy will introduce barnes to his trainer who improved buddies fluidity

When Bagley fully develops his three and is the starting 5, and with Belly in the floor... the three point shooting is going 2 b iNsAnE!!

Fox - 36%
Buddy 46%
Barnes 39%
Belly 43%
Bagley ?? (35% rough guess)

I realize that Belly is likely not the long term starter, but does this have a chance of being the best 3pt shooting lineup 1-5 in history?
