    Don't Sleep On B-Mac....Here's Why:

    These stats never get old :D: Kings over last 2 seasons per 100 poss w/Boogie and Ben: 108.3-104.2 = +4.1 Kings over last 2 seasons per 100 poss w/Boogie and w/o Ben: 105.9-109.0 = -3.1 Boogie is only successful because of Ben! :p

    Isaiah Cousins Signs Partially Guaranteed One-Year Deal With Kings

    Facial expression is a part of skill-set now? :rolleyes::D

    Papagiannis (split from Lawson thread)

    45% of Boogie's shots were unassisted, 33% - for Towns. That's a huge distance. Deandre Jordan was at 33% pre-Chris Paul.

    WOJ: Rudy Gay informs Kings he'll opt out and likely not return

    1. Well, now we can assume, that Rudy himself knows, this is a contract year, so you get 100% effort. 2. He was going to opt out anyway - big news, ha! He was signed at very good money even before market blowup. 3. If Cuz stays, Rudy is on the wrong timeline to be a second banana for 3-4 more...

    Rudy Gay expresses his frustration

    LOL, he's as reputable as...Voisin is a fountain of rock-solid information compared to him.

    [Game] Kings vs Spurs 7/15 (Summer League)

    Myles Turner is a center. Al Jefferson was signed to be his backup, not as a starter next to him. Lyles is a good shooter, but there's not much else. For all of his offensive game WCS still scored basically same amount per 36. And for what it's worth Willie was 6th in PER and 3rd in WinShares/48.

    [Game] Kings vs Spurs 7/15 (Summer League)

    First of all, draft is about getting the best talent, not the best player on draft night. Still think, Kings should've taken Baldwin at #13, but there's no way to tell right now, how good Papagiannis will be. Biyombo looked bad just two years ago, and now at age 24 he was a presence in ECFs...

    Free Agency

    Jones' best shooting season was a fluke, since his %s on long 2s, FTs, corner 3s and long 3s in every season suggest, that he's a below average shooter. Yes, Jones is a better shot-blocker and slightly better defensive rebounder. Big difference in off.rebounding is easily explained by their...

    Current Team Discussion and Possible Trades

    My point is Kings' players had below average coaching, while Celtics players overachieved in a perfect system. Kings already had a player from a great system auditioning here for a season, and looks like everybody's happy about the result...or not.

    Celtics have a top-3 NBA coach in terms of putting his players in the best possible role to succeed. And Kings had a ghost.

    Georgios Papagiannis

    Camera adds 10 pounds! :p Seriously though, if you look at muscle definition on his arm, it looks the same. His shirt being white and loose makes him look larger.

    Georgios Papagiannis

    lol, some myths just refuse to die! MGasol was close to his current shape by 22, when he was drafted, and was kicking ass in ACB, which was arguably stronger than Euroleague at the time. That famous photo of doughy-looking kid was taken 5 years prior to the draft.

    People miss the fact, that in current NBA post game is needed for bigs to punish the other team when defended by a wing. For WCS that especially can be a problem. No one wants young guys to wrestle with MGasol or Bogut. Just deal with Marvin Williams, Harrison Barnes or chandler Parsons at 4...

    There are still some free money scattered around NBA landscape. Even if guys don't want to go to the Nets or Sixers, who seemingly are the only teams with space left (there might be more free space somewhere else...), it doesn't mean the end of free agency. Both teams have every intention to at...

    Current Team Discussion and Possible Trades

    No, I saw a claim, that it originated from either a source close to or even a direct quote from Wyc Grousbeck, minority owner of the Celtics, that price for Griffin has lowered due to PO in 2017. In a separate rumor Clippers inquired about Rudy, and Kings apparently like Crowder and Rozier (I'm...

    Free Agency

    Indeed, Omri slightly edged Ben for that honor... I'm not ignoring anything and looking at the whole package. And ability to put the ball in the basket is a valuable one, what Celtics learnt this spring, when nobody was able to put more than 14 points per 36 on the board besides IT (well...

    Free Agency

    On/Off says Kings' second-best player is Mclemore and TS% of a role player should be higher than that of a creator. And RPM/RAPM are regression-based with their margins of error at least as big as the difference between two players, and that's after a down year for Rudy and perfect one for...

    Current Team Discussion and Possible Trades

    Afflalo and Collison will have to act as 3a and 3b option with Crowder filling the gaps as 3c weapon. Hell, given his efficiency in both post and iso offense last year, maybe Afflalo can act in a weak #2 role, that he so desired, but I certainly wouldn't bet on that. Just a note: Crowder had...

    Baldwin was playing next to another PG most of the time. And they never run P&R with him, which is his main weapon offensively. He did have a few drives here and there, but clearly plays SG at the moment. As Baldwin said multiple times in his interviews, whatever the coach needs from him...And...

    Free Agency

    Rudy was doing great offensively with Andre Miller, so he was very excited about playing with Rondo and very active recruiting him. For some reason it just didn't click. Crowder has more value due to age and especially contract situation, but there's not a big difference. Crowder is a career...
