More LOL Grant: "I like the trade... Patterson a stretch four... Patterson better than T-Rob right now." Duh, so what?!
If we keep the Kings, we better not keep Napear!!
Lastly, as if most here don't already know this, Grant Napear is a complete tool. This guy backs anything this stupid franchise does. Not only is he claiming that Patterson is worlds better than Robinson (really? What's he done?), but he's ok with the owners putting money in their pocket as a result. Seriously? Owning a pro sports team is not about making trades that directly put more money in your pocket. It's about making moves that improve your team. Doing so puts more money in your pocket indirectly as more fans want to come out and pay to see your team. If the New York Yankees did business like this, he'd be ripping them a new one. But since this is the franchise that signs his checks, he toes the line even though they won't be his bosses next season. That guy seriously needs to grow a pair.
I will never forgive Napear for his actions over the last two years. He's gotta go replace him with cm Dave.
Who is the guy that does(did?) the halftime report for the Kings. He also ran the chat for the Kings during the games. I think he is the third radio person behind GMan and Fat. Drawing a blank on his name but I would LOVE to have him replace Napear. He has a good knowledge of the game and seems like a stand up guy. Younger guy too so has room to grow into the spot and be here for a long time.

Look, we all know who and what Grant is, but if the shoes were on your feet you would probably do the same. Yes, they do pay his salary. Quite a large one at that. He will be looking to continue his employment with new ownership. New ownership is not going to want an employee that throws his current bosses under the bus when things go south because things like that tend to repeat themselves. What they do want is someone who remains professional DESPITE how he feels about whats been happening. ANY employee who badmouths their bosses and their decisions while still collecting a big check would be a fool. I don't like the mouthpiece he is either but i accept that you are not going to get the straight dope from him. You should too. Try to not take him too seriously. He is a great NBA announcer and I hope he remains with the Kings in Sacramento.
And does anybody know if that 2nd rounder is this years? I mean, WE gave a 2nd rounder to THEM?!
I actually do like Patterson as a player. He's got a great offensive skill set and should fit nicely next to Reke and Cousins. We have a real need for efficient players in general and Patterson immediately becomes the most efficient player on the team
I'm just in utter shock that ANY team would deal a top 5 pick 51 games into his career. Just goes to show what an utter crap show our organization is right now

I'll be on my flight to ATL when trade deadline passes. Hearing there's a chance the Kings could make another deal. We shall see.
jason ross?
Personally I have no idea why people are so upset. I never really liked the Robinson pick. I didn't think he fit well here. Honeycutt and Garcia were non factors. Actually Robinson technically was a non factor as well.
Patterson is a better player right now than Robinson is, and we don't even know if Robinson will ever be any good.
Petrie has liked Aldrich for a while now so I assume he wanted him included in order to check him out.
I don't like the idea of another midget 2guard but oh well. I doubt he will see much playing time unless someone gets injured.
It's not a good trade by any means, but it's basically crap for crap so it's of no consequence to me. I don't like or hate it.
Jim Kozimor? Another class act.
Assuming, of course, we don't wake up to hear that Reke and Cousins have been traded for Luke Walton and cash considerations.
