While it is factual that Karl did indeed want Cousins traded eventually, at that particular point he simply said that no one was untradeable. There's a huge, massive, absolutely undeniable difference between an actual head coach publicly saying nobody is untouchable and saying he wants a guy...
Kings fans: XXX can't win because our roster is bad!!
Also Kings fans: You can't say that your players are tradeable!
Just for recollection, I think this was the particular quote: I’ve had some great players and I’ve never had one player that I have said is untradeable. You always got to be...
My sense is they wouldn't based on all the Pacers media I've since been paying attention to. Ownership and GM seem to only be on board with losing this year, and they view the trade more as a re-tool than a rebuild (kinda similar to what Monte was going for I guess), and the Kings FRP is a lot...
Yep, it be like that sometimes.
It's a pretty great situation for me personally though, I got my wish of Hali and Buddy traded to the same team (assuming it works out and they hold on to Buddy at least for another season or two), and Indiana is the one place in the entire USA I actually have a...
I wouldn't characterize most of those plays as doing too much - they were pretty clean plays but he was just turning the ball over trying to make the (right) pass off of quick dribble penetration, rather than the iso dribble dribble dribble going nowhere chuck kind of plays we'd see a few times...
Should check out Buddy's postgame where he talks about getting his joy in playing back after not having it for some time. New team, honeymoon period, sure, but suffice to say fans wanted Buddy out of Sac and he wanted out of Sac, so it's a win-win for all parties involved.
In 5 games with the...
TT came up pretty big for them. Wizards might be bad, but don't forget Pacers basically played Tyrese, Buddy, Lance, 3 undrafted guys and two typically 3rd/4th string bigs in TT and Jalen Smith.
Some of those plays with Giannis going downhill were just ridiculous. I don't blame Buddy and Tyrese and basically every other Pacer for not trying their best to get out of the way. The guy gathers a step into the three point line and finishes through contact, worst case he gets his own board...
It doesn't sound like you're enjoying watching basketball, that's the whole point. It sounds like people just want to watch Tyrese succeed to a certain extent, and Buddy fail to a large extent. If this was about basketball, there'd be a whole lot more flavor to the game than just "Tyrese is so...
He shot the ball terribly, yes, but how does someone who ends up +8 "cost" a team a game? The game before he had a near triple double and all folks I'm complaining about will have to say is "LOW BBALL IQ CHUCKER DRIBBLE BALL OFF FOOT", so let's not pretend we're all Mr Objective here.
Lol, Buddy gets traded and some of you still can't give it a rest. You must lead really sad lives that all you ever do is make snarky remarks about other teams when your own team has been cr*p for so long.
