I want to keep Christie as the head coach. If the correct moves aren't made to shore up the roster's deficiencies by the next trade deadline then I would like to see a complete rebuild from scratch. Given our talent level and current holes (no large wing players, no starting pg) I sense that we...

He's already a Kings legend.

We used some of the Spurs returns in the Fox trade to get him. So we basically traded Fox for Lavine, Valanciunas, 2 1st rounders, 4 2nd rounders. This after Fox or Rich Paul or whoever diminished Fox's trade value by speaking out publically about it and stating a preferred team. I'd say that's...

DeRozan is going to hunt that mid range jumper all the way to the playoffs. My goodness, he doesn't care who's in front of him--theyre just inconveniencing him.

Seems to me like we either hurry the hell up and fill our positions of need with good players to make us a competitor or blow it up. Gonna be tough to get a good pg and pf that are starting caliber and that fit. If I had to bet my money I'd bet we're 1.5 seasons away from a complete overhaul.

We did on the Sabonis > Haliburton trade.

Well I like that we executed a decent move when the pressure was on.

I stand corrected then.

This is a problem. Why are the Lakers being given exclusive access to underpay for the best players in the league? The NBA needs to change the way things are done with trades. If it's a legitimate business with real investors, why does Dallas exclude every team other than the Lakers with trade...

There was no way for Memphis to have made that bet. How would Memphis know that Marc Gasol would be available with the pick they got from the trade? It doesn't fit together.

Hey I hear you, however, explain the Pau Gasol trade from Memphis to LA using the perspective of this argument.

NBA's ratings are down too. Now there's a huge trade for one of the biggest stars to go to the most popular team. The team that dealt him was just in the NBA finals last season and they cite at least 3 different reasons why they thought that trading their best player was a great idea for them...

Of course it is. Pau Gasol for nothing. Damn near got Chris Paul in his prime but every other team complained and that stopped it. Now The Mavs deal Luka to the Lakers for no apparent reason and cite weight issues and fear he wouldnt resign???! In what world is Anthony Davis and a 2029 1st the...

Yes, but they needed to trade Luka Doncic to address that problem?!!?!

This trade makes zero sense for Dallas. Why would they do this? "Ok, we will trade our 25 year old, top 5 player in the sport to you for your very injury prone 30+ year old all-star". Makes no sense.
