It's definitely a lot of franchise turnover in a short span, but also surprising for the Celtics. Grousbeck has been a pretty fantastic owner for the last couple of decades, largely staying out of the way and letting his basketball people do their job while not skimping on salary nor rejecting risk in the roster-building process. And they just won a championship! I suppose the valuation is at an all-time high, but you'd figure he'd wanna stick around to see if this version of the team can defend its title. Whoever buys the team is going to inherit a defending champ right off the bat!
I watched a Draymond interview today that I’m not sure is old or new, in it he reveals that he was leaving Golden State for Memphis last off season. Imagine a Ja/Dray pairing (especially last year)
Bruno's sagas in Europe are amazing this past season.
He had a contract at Venezia and left the team to join that team from Israel that plays in NBA preseason just for NBA teams to watch him and offer him a contract. Venezia "froze" his contract and finally sold him to Partizan that plays in Euroleague. Things were going smoothly there for several months (Kings legend PJ Dozier and Kaminski were his teammates btw) but the team not doing so well despite the much money they spent on transfers. In early June, with Partizan playing in the Serbian league finals (or Adriatic league, or both anyway it doesn't matter) he left the team again to go to the states and attend a court that would decide if the custody of his children. He never came back and was called to the Brazil NT for the Olympics qualifiers. Despite having a two year contract with the Serbian side he claims that they owe him salaries (that Partizan claims to be fines for leaving the team all of the sudden) so he should be released to join Maccabi Tel Aviv. So if you thought Sasha's case was a rollercoaster, it was nothing after all.
New Ant Baby Mama just dropped. Love the dude but if he’s not careful the only Wilt record he’ll ever have a chance at catching is the off-the-court one.

Chris Duarte played a decent game yesterday against Greece ... First 2 quarters he was close to perfect from the 3pt line ...
I thought i am watching another player , not the one from our games last year ....

He's a weird one though because he had a hot start to his rookie season and then flamed out to where he was pretty much gifted to us. He even had a handful of good games with us, so he'd really have to have a long run to show me anything wasn't just a fluke.

I think he kind of just is who he is. A good like 10th-11th man that can give you decent spot minutes from time to time. Not someone you want to rely on, but I think a good way to round out your bench.
He legit won us a few games last year. He was just never consistent.

And that's fine but qualifies him as another punching bag for many Kings fans.
A lot of teams around us had no choice but to make major roster moves this offseason, we need some upgrades but I still think we are more victim of being a good team in a abnormal season and untimely injuries to the same position.

this is where an experienced vet with money management and NBA way of life experience would do this dude some good, the vultures are lurking and ready to pounce
Don’t know …
From what I saw yesterday he was looking even as a backup starter for Monk for example …. For sure excellent second unit piece ….
Nothing like the total crap he was last season … I got intrigued by him honestly ….
Gonna put this here instead of one of the Kings rap threads on Sasha because thankfully he is NOT our problem anymore. Keith writes this well written and emotion free article and is pretty much being dragged by Olympiakos twitter for it by weirdos acting like he is Toronto's GM or Adam Silver and can just wave a wand to free their hero.

I really liked him and up until we shipped him I hoped we could figure out a way to make him work or at least get value back in a trade for him.
The way the Greek fans are on twitterX it really makes you wonder how much is real and how much is just random bullies over there making fake news. Still its frustrating and glad the fans that followed him to the Kings weren't as bad as some of the other single player fans we've had over the years.
