Remember when we traded him for Calab Swanigan and people talked themselves into it?
Not really talking themselves into the idea that it wasn't a huge deal (because it isn't), but actually convinced themselves that Swanigan was a better player and better fit (lmao) or that Swanigan was an NBA player at all (also lmao).
In all honesty, Skal is a perfect example of what I hate about Vlade's GMing. Picking projects, not committing to said projects, and then somehow mismanaging your own assets when you cut ties and end up with no benefit to yourself.

I’ve said for a while Skal would be this team’s “Whiteside” mistake and be the guy to figure it out and be good a few seasons down the line.
While Vlade’s special ability to bleed talent is obviously bad and I wish we could have gotten anything better than Swanigan, it wasn’t going to happen on the Kings. I’ll always cheer him on, and hope he reaches his potential.

Yeah, I think this was Joerger's mistake if anyone's. I don't know what was going on in practice, but it was bizarre that he couldn't even get court time when we had multiple injuries, foul trouble, or everyone in front of him playing like garbage. It was clear he was not going to get a chance. Although, if we'd hung on to him, who knows under Walton?
How come the Mavs get to play the crappy Spurs, the G-League Warriors, and the Cavs in a row at home while we get stuck going to Staples to play the Lakers, have the Celtics and Suns (maybe the two hottest teams in the league) at home, and then have to follow that all with a 4 game east coast road trip?
This is gonna sound kinda crazy but Frank Kaminsky is surprisingly nimble. I'm watching the Suns/Pelicans game from yesterday and he's doing spin moves around defenders, dribbling behind his back and faking someone out too. He's a lot craftier than I thought. He's just missing a little touch around the rim.
