Building a bench

So to your mind, there's only one option, being miserable and negative. I want no part of that world. It's one thing to recognize what's wrong with the team, and its past history, but we don't have to wallow in it day after day after day. I don't understand people that are always negative. But then they probably don't understand me. All I can say to them, is enjoy your world of despair without hope. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm headed back out to the sunshine and the beach.
Not at all what I said but ok. The poster claimed he was surprised how much negativity there was on the board and I pointed out that I was more surprised that after so much ineptitude, people can still find positivity.
Wasn't meant as a dig as much as an observation.

1) anybody know what the Spurs are looking for here? The implication is a salary dump to clear room, but they can't possibly think they are going to get somebody to eat $8.5mil just to get Splitter. How much do they actually have to shave?

2) and obviously if this is true its completely ridiculous and completely closes the door on the Arfflalo angle. bring on Stuckey. For a reasonable price.

Duncan Passing the torch. My god the Spurs are the Yankees of basketball minus the butthead owner, large market, bulldog media, and arrogant pissy fans. They may never suck again.
And the spurs don't buy their talent. I think a better baseball analogy is the St. Louis Cardinals.

Well, not yet. But I think the premise here is that the Spurs are going to try to buy Aldridge.

Let's not be premature here. Lakers are still the rumored frontrunners for LMA.

You're probably right. Sans the championship every other year or so.

Report: Kings interested in reunion with F Quincy Acy
I guess the slight improvement in his shooting has got some team interested, while he's deeply flawed I'm thrilled he's most likely going to make a decent living in the NBA and I just like him for some reason I can't describe since I know he's not really a good player. I don't know where he would help us either.

Meh. He's a good glue guy to have around I guess. Every team needs its Laurence Funderburke. I'm not quite sure I seem him even getting past Eric Moreland in the pecking order though.

If the knicks are really front runners for Afflalo especially at the price than good luck. That would be 1 less team that was linked to lou williams. Teams were kings,nets,knicks, and lakers I'd say we would be high up on that list. Sign Lou to 9-10mill and give the rest to Wesley Johnson.

I like him a lot as well. He's a great team guy and brings the intangible of 'nasty' without being a dirty player. Another good guy to have around Cousins. Keep surrounding him with quality dudes who are hard working pros

There's a good chance that Moreland is a piece of a trade

Aldridge does have the character and personality to fit right in there. As they like to say, he's a potential "Spur"

Two names that would provide some shooting off the bench is gearld green and mo Williams.
Both should be attainable veteran players with a reasonable contract. They probably would sign for a 3 year 15 mil contract and fills out the bench.
Gearld green can play the backup swingman and start when necessary.
Mo Williams would solidify the backup point guard and back up DC, which would stop the need of trying to trade half the team for a Bledsoe or Lawson.
Re-sign casspi for back up small forward-stretch 4 duties and re-sign Andre Miller as the third pg.
New kings deeper line-up:
PF: WCS/ landry/ Moreland
SF: Gay/ casspi
C: DMC/ JT
SG: McLemore/ green/ stauskas
Pg: collison/ Williams/ miller

Gerald Green is the role model of a low IQ player. He just takes a ton of bad, forced shots and than he comes back to take some more....
There are days, when his jumpshot is on and he will give you 20pts in no time and you can play him 2o minutes+. But more often his jumpshot is off and he keeps shooting, forcing you to pull him out of the game, in order to save the offensive flow of your team.
Green is literally one of the very few players I want no part of.
Mo Williams is a decent combo guard. He would give us some qualitity minutes offensively. But I would prefer a aggressive defender. And that's not Williams trademark.

Cause Aldridge would come here even if we had money.

Any chance we can pry away Jae Crowder from the Celtics? Impressed me with his defense and hustle. Needs to improve his jumpshot but is the kind of wing defender I would love on our roster.

I would love to get Crowder but I wouldn't count on it : he's a restricted FA, he wants to come back to Boston and the Celtics want to keep him...

Broussard's latest claims:'

Quite the list, I'm guessing some real, some put forth by agents, some speculation, all based on the Vlade comments that Karl likes to play 2 PGs together (which are accurate).

They basically went with the idea of 2 PG's and connected us to any decent PG available... great reporting...

Even though its a rumor made out of thin air, I'd love Schroeder.
I'm glad that I'm not the only one on this board who likes him.
