That article says we're thinking about trading for Kyle Singler as our new SF. Really, that's the best we can get?

If you type "nba trade" into google, one of the four options that coems up is "nba trade rumours kings." For once, we are being recognized! 
Thanks , thebadguy, good info and you are quick.

Well Josh Smith is impossible to get with our trade assets and I think there's no any other decent SF on the Pistons' roster.

We don't need a SF from the Pistons, necessarily, as any NBA team would be good, providing they can offer at least a decent SF (which Singler isn't).

Maybe the Kings' FO is talking with the Pistons management, well I hope there is another team involved because you are right, there's no decent SF aside from Smith that the Pistons can offer.

Looks like we are dumping salary. Thornton for cv and singler works. Cv is expiring and singler gives you a cheap youngster just to see if he is worth it. Can still dump a Hayes + IT later for a more talented youngster. And you have salmons expiring to get a role player from a team looking to dump later. We actually do have the dreaded word (tradeable pieces) in the right circumstances
BOOOOOOO!

I wouldn't want Josh Smith anyways for this team.. highly paid, tweener, veteran at a point where this team isn't trying to necessarily win immediately..

Turning Thortan into any img is a maricle let alone a young back SF who can shoot (singler) and clearing his 8mill in cap (villinava expiring)

I won't argue the not worth a superstar part, which is obviously insane, but Sanders is good, real good, and has always been, when he's been able to stay on the court. foul trouble and head casedness have been the two things keeping him from achieving what he did last season and that was basically work as a top3 big defender and a legitimate game changer on that end. it seems more likely that his play was the result of a young player figuring things out than it being a contract year push, he is only in his fourth season, after all. his struggles so far have come in alll of 52 minutes spread over three games, while he's fallen back into bad habits, struggling to find his way under a new coach, in a new system and with a lot of turnover on the roster around him. the offcourt stuff is more troubling, but I'm fairly confident that he'll be worth his money and calling that contract stupid is fairly premature.
all that being said, of course he's not getting traded. aside from the fact that it's unpractical to do with all that poison pill stuff going on, no team would be so insane as to trade a guy they've just pretty much committed to roughly four months ago. even Milwaukee, who are into some real crazy stuff lately.
You may be right but what would you expect to get for Thornton? Any port in a storm.

From now on, anyone we trade for should have an M.O. as a defender

What?
There's so much wrong in this post, I don't know where to begin. Spelling, grammar, incorrect names, wrong use of words and am I reading it correctly that you meant a "young black SF"?

I was inclined to let that go.
I thought it was somebody using a mobile device with auto correct and not bothering to check his/her note before posting it. Lazy. I could be wrong.Doubt it.

The camel, of course.How much did you get for your first born?

Here's an idea, the Kings should trade for a defensive minded G/F.
This is just my list:
1. Iman Shumpert - it's possible to get him now.
2. Thabo Sefalosha - I doubt the Thunder would trade him.
3. Tony Allen - Grizzlies I think will only trade him if they get a better player.
4. Avery Bradley - maybe possible to get.
5. MKG - not sure about him but I like his defense.
6. Gary Neal - not sure also but does he play defense? I'm just assuming he plays D though.

Apparently enough to buy the camel. Filthy animal, and only one hump. Very disappointed!
There's also the draft. Defensive role-players tend to be late first round picks. A few teams have multiple picks at the end of the first round this year, and those types of picks can often be bought or traded for. A wing defender would be a nice luxury to have but I think mainly we need to work on our starting lineup and that means a plus defender at PG and a plus defender at PF. Lowry and Bledsoe are both free agents and could help with the PG position. I think Cousins is flexible enough to play either C or PF, so we just need some kind of post defender to slot next to him. Biyombo is probably available. Oden hasn't played yet, but he only signed a 1 year deal. That type of player is usually easier to draft than sign (unless you overpay).

Good points. Certainly we could trade some of what we have for a late first rounder or high 2nd rounder. As most teams don't value defensive minded players over offensive minded players (including us) we would have the luxury and some would say the necessity of getting a defensive minded stud at ANY position. I haven't followed Biyombo's career and am not surprised not to have heard much of him.
Some people would be happy to get a first born with one hump.
I'm keeping mine.

Boy, I'm not a big Biyombo fan. I saw him play 3 times in summer league, and I've caught a few of his games his year, and for what you gain defensively, you give up on the offensive side of the ball. There are times when he's just lost out there. I'd rather take a flyer on Udoh or someone of similar ilk. If all you want is a defensive stopper PG, then we should be able to draft Aaron Craft in the second round of the next draft. He and Marcus Smart are the two best defensive PG's in all of college. Semaj Christon is a very good defender as well, but he's probably going in the first round. By the way, he's a hell of a PG. He doesn't get the PR some of the others get playing at Xavior, but he's a very talented PG with good size at 6'3", and is one of the best ballhandlers in all of college.

There was one! I think his name was Igor... Or was it Abby something?
