We just drafted Malachi Richardson, who needs to learn to control himself. So let's bring in Monta and Waiters to mentor him.


Outstanding point. I honestly don't know why Vlade is targeting these guys

Obviously so Malachi can learn what not to do...

 

[The_Jamal]

It's either for Monta or Myles Turner. Which there isn't a chance in hell they trade us Turner.

 

[upinsmoke]

Let's get Bazemore! Cmon Vlade do work!

Just to be safe, Vlade should probably try to trade for Nick Young too.

It could also be for Rodney Stuckey and cap room.

Or a three team deal.

 

[Kingfanpaul]

I just saw Conley's deal.

Glad I'm not Memphis.

5 years $153 million...Jesus!

Your 2016-17 Sacramento Kings starting backcourt, Monta Ellis and Dion Waiters!

*puke*

I'm beginning to wonder if we really "won" keeping the Kings in Sacramento if that's the backcourt we are going with and how this team is looking for this season...

On a more serious note, if we do this deal then the one thing we can almost guarantee is it won't last long. Problem is, neither will Cousins. I'm beginning to feel sorry for the guy!

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Well, three-team is cool with me, but I don't see how Rudy isn't worth more than Stuckey and cap room. I certainly don't want to ship off Rudy merely for the opportunity to give Dion Waiters all teh moniez.

 

[steelevt]

I think vlade is a kf member and just trolling us with all these rumors. Maybe seeing if the FO has any moles and throwing out bs FA names to see if they get reported and seeing us flip out

Darrell Arthur's new three-year deal with the Nuggets will pay him $23M, league source tells @TheVertical.

Darrel Arthur: 21.7min 7.5pts 4.2reb

So it would appear that about $1mil per point you can average is the minimum

I wonder if I just constantly leaked out if I could cherry pick a basket or two a game in the NBA? I could be a $4mil/yr player nowadays. Works for me. be more efficient than Waiters too. Somebody call Vlade.

 

[upinsmoke]

Not hatin because I like Conley but his injuries scare me tbh. Great for him and his family.

I would agree but Rudy for Stuckey & cap room seems better to me than Rudy for Monta.

Again, I have no sense of what Gay's value around the league is right now.

But I agree, trading away Gay for a lesser player just got the privilege of signing Waiters sounds like the height of stupidity.

 

[White_Chocolate]

Please god be for Teague and not Monta. I would so much rather just keep Gay than trade for Monta. There are better options.

I'm glad he isn't calling everyone though. These are some ugly contracts right now.

I wouldn't curse Vlade's family if it were Stuckey, but we should be able to do hell of a lot better with Rudy and his contract.

Depends. How tall are you? We don't like players under 5'10. That's why IT didn't cut it with his $6million contract.

They just got Teague. They're not passing him off.

 

[The_Jamal]

That Arthur deal isn't bad. He's a quality rotational big, can defend, spot-start, etc. Sad we're calling $7.5mil/year a bargain, but I sure as hell would take him over Mozgov at the same price, much less for 3x the price.

 

[Entity]

Yeah I'd take gay over that combo of Ellis and stuckey

He saw the numbers being thrown about and decided to flee the country.

Either that or he and Peja decided to go workout and see if they can make comebacks and get in on the gravy train.

I'll take Vlade & he can even smoke cigs on the bench for 10 million over Mozgov.

Have heard rumblings that #Pacers and #Kings are discussing a deal for Rudy Gay. Two teams discussed a deal ahead of the NBA Draft as well.

According to Pacers fans over at NBA reddit this blogger shouldn't be taken too seriously. Seems like a random blogger without any real inside information who's jumping on a trade that was already rumored prior to the draft.

 

[Iced Espresso]

RYNO is in LA.

Got a link?

Marc Stein ‏@ESPNSteinLine
Rajon Rondo indeed had a free-agent meeting today with the Bulls in Chicago, league sources tell @MarcJSpears and me

 

[Livinthedream]

Trade Rudy for Stuckey or Monta and who do we have at SF? We just created another hole.

Vlade: sure dion. We can meet up. When are you free to visit Sacramento?
Waiters: I can come this weekend.
Vlade: ok see you this weekend.
(Turns to peja)
Vlade: peja hurry up and get on the plane to LA before dion waiters gets in town.
