    Balancing the First and Second Units

    You LITERALLY typed this in your original trade post and yet you now insist that Zion wasn't your main player to get in the trade: I think you keep forgetting your original premise as you go along. LOL. Like I said, I'm done with this - but I couldn't let that go. Have a good evening.

    Plus sending out all our picks, apparently, but then not so apparently, apparently. :oops:

    Balancing the First and Second Units

    I know you limited it to games against "us", but is that the end goal in your eyes? Being able to beat the Pelicans? Really? I thought the goal was to be better than the rest of the league, hence my change of viewpoint. The idea is beating the league, not trying to beat the Pelicans. And on...

    Balancing the First and Second Units

    Yes, their team, with the healthiest Zion has ever been, "decimated" the league to 3 more wins than us last year. Yippee! I have no clue what LaVine could bring with one year less on his contract and a career best year on shooting, etc., he's had this year. Likely more than what we paid to get...

    Balancing the First and Second Units

    Yeah, we'd potentially get Zion for maybe 25-30 games a year, max? He's played : 24 61 29 70 18 (so far with 55 games played already) He played 70 games last year. By far the most ever. And his team won a whole 3 more games than we did. Yeah, no thanks on that gamble.

    Balancing the First and Second Units

    We'll just have to agree to disagree. When you say "Here's the max package for picks" and then say that you don't know if we would have to send all of them seems to me like you're OK with that, if necessary. You certainly didn't say "I'd send 3 picks and one swap". The implications are clear...

    Balancing the First and Second Units

    Because, depending on which trade proposal you are looking at, the "risk" is giving away all of our best and unprotected draft capital for a player that can't play a significant number of games each year and has a horrible contract given his production and the team's record. This isn't NBA 2k...

    Balancing the First and Second Units

    You literally said the following, which sounds like sending them all to me: I'll fix your quote for you: "Claiming someone was an all star is a great player if they are healthy (but they never are) as an attempt to assign value to a player was your tactic. It doesn’t really work when you try...

    Balancing the First and Second Units

    To me, trading two of the top players on the team and a boatload of picks, including 6 (six!!!) unprotected first rounders plus pick swaps certainly qualifies. Zion also wasn't an all-star the last two years. He must not be very good then, either, right? He only played 18 games this year. To...

    Balancing the First and Second Units

    What is this obsession with giving away the farm for players who can't play? You say it wouldn't take much in the way of assets yet we are trading away two all-stars and a boatload of picks. The picks in particular, for all intents and purposes, would be all of our future. For what, 18 games...

    Some of you are pretty hilarious. Dial it back a little, will ya? Just a reminder - the guy is 15-9 as coach despite: inheriting a team with a losing record and some roster flaws (that aren't his fault), taking over after a controversial firing of the head coach, going through the trade of...

    [KINGS] Comments that don't warrant their own thread (Redux)

    It seems like a lot of folks are pretty negative about the team right now because of a back-to-back OT loss on the road right before the AS break. Please, get a grip. Just chill for a minute and let them work. DC has a winning record at 15-9 despite controversially (to some) taking over the...

    Welcome Markelle Fultz

    He needs reps in the G-League first. He missed a year of basketball and while his defensive activity is great, he needs to work on his ball handling and offense a bit. He also needs more consistent minutes than he will get in Sacramento just to get his conditioning back, if nothing else.

    Kings Acquire Jake LaRavia

    The crowd also loves it, both as a chant in the closing minutes to put their "stamp" on a win and also as a cool visual after the game for the city to know they won.

    While I agree with this general sentiment, in the era of luxury taxes and hard caps you have to be smart with your spending. It's about being able to construct a team, not about how much any individual player actually makes. If this were baseball, pay all the Kings $100 mil a year each. I...

    Any questions? I know it’s the end of the first quarter, but wow.
