    Trade Deadline Rumors

    I would give up a lot for Terrence Jones. Jones and Henson. Those are the power forwards I want.

    Nuggets listening to offers Ty Lawson, Faried

    I would take Faried. Is he overpaid? Probably. Certainly less so once the cap goes up, but I also think that kind of player will never be dead money. He may always be overpaid, but he's not going to be a guy you can't play. He works so hard, and he plays so hard that his contract doesn't turn...

    Trade Deadline Rumors

    I mean, bringing in Larry Sanders as a buyout guy is a no brainer. Issue is, why would he choose Sacramento? I guess it depends on his priorities. The Kings can, and should, offer him a starting role and 30 minutes a game. They are probably one of the only teams that can do that. It's highly...

    JT wants to get traded (and other trade discussion)

    So many different combinations can be made around these rumors. JT by himself isn't getting you anything. If it did, the Kings would have traded him already. The Bucks are the most interesting team we've been linked too. Henson is the piece I want, but Larry Sanders is a Kings sort of...

    Our Remaining Schedule, George Karl's History, And the Fate of Our Draft Pick

    I think Stein will be available. I have high doubts that the Kings will draft him, but I think he'll be around. I know a lot of folks here follow the BPA model. I'm more of a 'need' guy when the talent is close, and in the top 10ish, the talent level is usually close. There are exceptions to...

    Our Remaining Schedule, George Karl's History, And the Fate of Our Draft Pick

    Also, somewhat minimal, but losing the pick opens up another 2-3 mil in cap space and a roster spot to use this offseason.

    Our Remaining Schedule, George Karl's History, And the Fate of Our Draft Pick

    I'm not worried about the pick. We lose it, we keep it, there are pro's and con's to both, and we have little control over the results. I mean, I'd almost be more worried about keeping it in the sense that it will show our improvement under Karl has been minimal. A better team + losing the...

    Trade Deadline Rumors

    I could talk myself into any of the names mentioned thus far, assuming the price is right. Afflalo has made sense as a Kings target for a while now. Maybe SLIGHTLY less so since McLemore started improving. I would worry about stunting his growth with Afflalo here, particularly because...

    Kings Offer Contract to George Karl

    Thanks. So, the hard part here is that as much as Bucher can't be trusted as a source, for whatever reason there seems to be some relationship between him and Cousins. I remember this piece came out a while back, and I was pretty surprised Cousins gave him the access...

    Kings Offer Contract to George Karl

    Where did Bucher say this? just curious.

    Kings Offer Contract to George Karl

    If Vivek is giving PDA clearance to hire his guy, than that relationship has to be solid. Vivek isn't going to blow 5 million dollars on a recommendation from a man he doesn't trust, or one he doesn't want around anymore. I don't know where the disconnect is. Mullin, probably, but we don't...

    Carmichael Dave innuendo, "We are officially at Defcon One"

    No idea what Jones means by that tweet, but As long as Cousins is OK with it, which other reports, including Woj's latest, say that he IS, then I don't give a damn what anyone else on the roster thinks.

    Carmichael Dave innuendo, "We are officially at Defcon One"

    User Actions FollowingAilene Voisin‏@ailene_voisin Folks close to DeMarcus Cousins believe George Karl will be hired, if not today then shortly thereafter. Hmmm. Can we assume that Voisin's information has been coming from Cousins camp the whole time? or some of it, at the minimum. This is the...

    Carmichael Dave innuendo, "We are officially at Defcon One"

    We don't know that just yet. I mean, If the Kings are going to hire Karl, it looks better for just about everyone if the agents change their tune to focusing on Vivek / vision instead of the next head coach who the Kings are about to spend millions of dollars on. This makes Karl look better...

    Carmichael Dave innuendo, "We are officially at Defcon One"

    Feels like this is the last chance. And by the way, the Kings should be pretty damn thankful they are getting another chance. Karl has to work, and he's not exactly starting off on the right foot.

    Carmichael Dave innuendo, "We are officially at Defcon One"

    The Kings are probably going to hire Karl, and this is going to be quite, quite interesting. No ****ing idea how it's going to work out. Not a damn clue.

    Carmichael Dave innuendo, "We are officially at Defcon One"

    Gentry isn't a flashy name, but he's not a bad coach. He's not one that I would get upset over. He's not Mark Jackson or VDN.

    Carmichael Dave innuendo, "We are officially at Defcon One"

    There is just too much crap to sift through right now. The Minority owner thing might be a complete smokescreen to try and keep Cousins happy. Blame it on faceless 'minority owners' to take the heat off Cousins camp because this thing has gone to hell. The Cousins camp thing is still...

    Carmichael Dave innuendo, "We are officially at Defcon One"

    In theory, I don't have an issue with Cousins or his agents flexing their muscles in order to get the right guy here. Lord knows this front office has had / is having issues finding the right guy. In this case, however, I'm inclined disagree with how they feel to a certain extent. I'm not even...

    Carmichael Dave innuendo, "We are officially at Defcon One"

    I just can't imagine Orlando firing their head coach, and then to this point not contacting Karl would push him towards this level of urgency. From 'let this season go to waste' to 'hire the most prolific coach on the market' based on some terrible team with a less appealing coaching job seems...
