We were never the "Kansas City Royals." the Royals-to-Kings name change was simultaneous with the move from Cincinnati.

Sob! I suppose that means I'm wrong. Let me think. It might be Seattle but I can't come up with an original name. There is a glimmer of light in my brain but its a 15 watt bulb.
The Royals play baseball don't they? So did the Monarchs but the Monarchs also played basketball.
It was Washington, boss.

Bullets are politically incorrect.

Andre Drummond sure comes to mind
Why in the hell would Detroit trade Drummond? Short of him announcing publicly that he refuses to re-sign, I imagine that we'd have to pry him from Dumars' cold, dead hands.

The name just "came to mind" and it's understandable. Maybe Embiid would work.
You know Embiid, right?

haha they wouldn't i was kind of referring to how Kings fans wanted him drafted last year and the Maloofs + Geoff Petrie said "Nope! you get another undersized 4"

It's most similar to Zack Randolph. Use your width to get the shot up rather than athleticism.
Very valuable move to have. Not a move which will decline with age/athleticism until he simply can't play anymore.
As an aside, coach/IT/GV need to start getting Cuz the godd**n ball iso'd in the post much more frequently. With the game on the line he's our go to guy and that's what we run. It's happened repeatedly under Malone. However, there's large chunks of every game where we're just watching our guards dribble in circles, looking to pass to anyone but Cuz, or IT just forcing it as he goes into hero mode. During these chunks of the game when Cuz does get touches it's usually elbow extended without having near the space he does operating in the post with a side cleared. Why we go to it so little is an important question. Why neither of our PG's appear to recognize the weapon we have is just as important of a question to ask. We feed Cuz in the post regularly and our record likely has a few more checks in the win column.
There's zero reason why the last two plays ran for Cuz, iso'd against Bogut can't be a regular occurrence if only our PG's would wake the hell up and play to our only advantage.
I've been very unpleasantly surprised to see Vasquez going away from that lately, particularly since that's practically the only thing he's good for.

It has been 15-20 games. He can't shoot a free throw.
I didn't say it was a bad signing - just not sure of the timing. Save all the 680 Rod and Fitz spiel. I generally like Bogut and his borderline bad boy play (especially come playoff time), but seeing him healthy in the playoffs before locking him up for 3 years in a league that utilizes a 'soft' cap might be the better play - no one will know 'til that time comes, hence the 'wondering'. It's a gamble, right? I know Bogut is your boy, and you make great points for locking him up early. Only time reveals the correct play. Let's see what happens.

Did you notice that Vazquez was being bypassed on the outlet pass yesterday? I saw a lot of other players bring the ball up rather than hand the ball over to Greivis ... maybe I was just seeing things. Not impressed with his 'setting up the offense' the last couple games - seems like he isn't into the games lately. Maybe the other players aren't happy with it either.

They are clearly a stronger team with iggy. Much stronger.
He's just crazy slow. He can pass, but how can he run with mclemore and Williams? Well, he can't. IT can, but won't. See the issue?

Quite the conundrum indeed; do we have the ability to combine two people into one yet? I'm hoping for that, because it would also open up another roster spot

Give Vazquez ITs quickness, holy crap we'd have something.Quite the conundrum indeed; do we have the ability to combine two people into one yet? I'm hoping for that, because it would also open up another roster spot
I think his name is Dante exum actually.

merging Vasquez and IT would still yield no defence whatsoever, though

Uh, well, as long as we are in fantasy land, I think a Vazquez with quickness would be a fine defender. His problem isn't necessarily not knowing what to do, it's having the foot speed to do it.merging Vasquez and IT would still yield no defence whatsoever, though

I'm working on it. Don't be impatient. I'm trying to add Douglas into the mix.
