[Game] Kings vs. Grizzlies, 2/14/21, 7pm PST, 10pm EST

It's one of those things where we can take 10 million back but the other team has to have room/send 30 back, right? That only sounds slightly stupider than the suggestion of trading Fox.

Also I made some tea and stopped watching halfway through the third only to come back for the final 4 minutes. Glad I did that as nothing had changed. What a difference a week makes.

Also I will just say, Bagley had been putting some effort on D in and his absence shows. He may still be in the disappointment category, but at least he is trying most nights.

Seeing Bjeli floundering around out there has given me a brand new appreciation of MB. I may not love Marv yet, but man oh man his grass is far greener than any alternative we have.

Barnes perfect role is the same role he had with warriors. The 4th or 5th option.

yeah if Vivek wasn’t a complete dumbass we probably could have traded Barnes to Boston for Nesmith and a 1st.

 

[Iced Espresso]

Like this guy....

Is that Olberding?

Lol been so long, was thinking more this guy

They still could. In boston he wont need to be the 2nd scorer. He'll be the 4th

Who is that? Looks like Will Forte’s inspirational Coach character from SNL.

Here's a hint, and no it isn't Freddie Mercury either.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Beli shot 50% and played 26 min. Way over what he should be playing. Why are we quick to blame the player and not the coach who put hum out ther so long. Beli can be good in spurts

 

[pdxKingsFan]

We are proud of Greg Kite?

 

[TheRoyalist]

Was reported that he and others could not be moved, at the time. And

I just literally quoted the CBA.

Never get involved in a land war in Asia.

No he’s a Designated Rookie extension per all reports, and he and others were reported as untradeable at the time too.

Well just how the game has changed, how there was usually a guy who wouldn't let the other teams bully us like the Grizz did tonight.

I was just riffing off the "Proud Past/Proud Future" tag.
Although it certainly would explain the years that followed.

We need some more toughness on this team. That whole situation with Metu, getting abused all night, Cojo smiling about the leg instead of sweeping it.

I can’t say I’ve heard of Greg but he was still getting after it in 2015 on the over 50 USA team

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

Unfortunately I don't have many nice things to say for my Kings paisanos. This was simply another horrible loss with very few redeeming aspects. Might be time to (metaphorically) break some kneecaps. Hey Luke, nice coaching contract you got there... be a shame if something were to happen to it...

 

[KingsFanSince85]

Is that Olberding?

Yes it is.

Kite works too.

 

[steelevt]

Looks like we’re gonna do it the kangz way and lose to the Magic and grizz and beat the nets and heat.

How about the KINGS improve their team to the point that he’s the 4th guy here?

Can’t keep giving good players away. Especially well rounded guys that don’t need the ball in their hands all the time.

This team is certainly bipolar, no doubts about that, but they are also very improved from a talent and chemistry standpoint.

The main problem most seem to agree upon is they are mismanaged. Fix that and some of these current problems go away.

he was supposed to be after Fox, Bagley and Giles. Problem is Vlade can’t judge talent and Vivek is a horrible owner who refuses to let the team tank and get good players.

That's a tall task. Fair to say hali will become the #3 so they would need someone under fox or better . Where do you find a star? This team isnt bad enough to land one of the top picks as its built. No free agent is coming here that is a #1 or #2.


Also is barnes worth being the 4th guy with a 20 million dollar contract ? For the celtics barnes is a luxury. They're chasing championships. Kings are chasing not being a joke of a franchise.

Bring back Kosta!

Bagley’s shown flashes (he’s nowhere near the bust that KingsFans has sorta brainwashed themselves into thinking he is) and Tyrese is good. In our starting lineup, Barnes arguably already is the fourth option,

I'll tell you what. I quoted the relevant portion of the CBA. It's Article VII, Section 8 (g). You find a relevant portion of the CBA that proves me wrong.

you know what they say, you can lead a horse to the CBA but you can’t make it read.

VII 8 f i still applies per the usual experts. We can close up shop tho, they’re not going to move on from mini Westbrook til it’s too late.

 

[KingsFanSince85]

Man. A week ago Brooklyn would have felt like a neat measuring stick game. We’re gonna lose by 30.

KD is OUT.

https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id...-durant-miss-least-two-games-hamstring-strain

And we’ll still lose by double figures. Likely surrendering at least 120. With Joe Harris hitting 10 threes.

120 is too low

140-150

 

[KingsFanSince85]

Key phrase was “at least”.

Cause you‘re likely right. Lol

 

[sactowndog]

Bagley’s shown flashes (he’s nowhere near the bust that KingsFans has sorta brainwashed themselves into thinking he is) and Tyrese is good. In our starting lineup, Barnes arguably already is the fourth option,

so Tyrese isn’t in the starting line-up and I wasn’t criticizing Bagley as much as pointing out he isn’t the NBA wide top option envisioned by Vlade.

By trading Barnes the Kings would fall in the range of a legitimate chance at a top 4 pick which this year is pretty valuable. Not to mention with the Celtics pick you get another bite of the apple and hopefully Nesmith.
