much better to ignore anything that does not fit your narrative right?
Opinion trumps fact, right.
These sites have tweets with time stamps...from some Wojnarowsky amateur (specifying that rejection happened within an hour from the tweet) and some dude named Amick who actually only retweeted information about Reke's destiny from some uninformed Voison lady who probably just guessed it hours earlier.

but but theres a bigger plan! carls a great player with veteran savy!
that was different coaching? im sorry but a coach/regime shouldn't be blamed for lack of hustle and flat out quitting.
please buy into the fairytale 1140 will try to sell on monday instead of discussing how basketball wise this move doesn't make any sense.

Except, as I'll keep posting until people calm down so we can rationally discuss things, JT wasn't better in most statistical ways last season (link).
Edit: I'm not saying these stats are gospel, but you certainly can't say they strongly favor JT. And our new FO seems to be very stats-oriented, and in terms of tying to understand their plan, I'd guess they were considering these kinds of things in making the deal.

Man so many people have run off the rails (which is fine because its a compelling read)
The GM is starting over. He doesn't want more than 2-4 players on this roster and at this point Cousins isn't even a lock to stay. He isn't interested in a stop gap fix at Sf with a contact that runs more than two years. He's not looking for a backup PF that will round out this motley crew. He's probably not giving up any of our limited assets to trade for Asik.
Hes looking for assets, culture / pro basketball players, and stop gaps that help. Next year they want to be functional and grow a few players ... But they don't want to be too good because 4-5 players in the next draft really matter.
The anger and frustration here is based purely upon people's views of the roster and goals of the team. If you can get your head around that, you'll see it. If not, your such a die hard that you'll come around when this bears fruit in 47 months. But it's clear what they've decided to do after Igudala and Calderon passed

We have gaping holes at sf and center. Not that I buy it, but yes landry could be a slight upgrade. Why would you pay big money over a lot of years for a slight upgrade? Were worse right now on defense then we were pre draft. That is unbelievable, the bar was so low yet they still manage to trip over it.
WOW!
WTF?!
If you are committing $6.5 million per season over the next 4 years to an undersized front court player that can score but does not rebound or defend then you better have a LEGIT shotblocker/defender/rebounder at PF who can play both PF and C defensively because you are not going to get much defence out of Cousins and Landry! The problem is that everything we have done so far suggests to me we are all about offense and can't even spell defense!
There has to be a LOT more to this otherwise this is another ridiculous move by the franchise! Landry is a pro though! He is a nice vet to have around but he needs to fit and as things stand right now, he does not fit! Every move we have made so far does NOT make much sense! WOW!

(I said "fans". I didn't say "Rainmaker" now did I?
And that's exactly my point. 6 days into his Kings Career and your saying PDA has no grip on how to build or run a team. That's absolutely maddening and totally bonkers and completely premmature.
I'm sure you'll come back with some excuse about how Im personally attacking you and that you have every right to give up on PDA 6 days into his career. Which is totally fine. Bonkers. But fine

Nope. I think he's fine coming off the bench and providing post offense when Cousins sits (which is a need that I think gets often overlooked). The big next to Cousins needs to be a defender (as I think many of us agree), and now we have two potential bigs in JT and Patterson to swing a deal for that defender, along with our other assets. More moves are coming, I'd guess.
