Kings vs Spurs Game Thread

[rainmaker]

It doesn't matter what you feel or I feel about Sergio. The end result is that making a deal for a rental reserve made ZERO difference. Your feeling doesn't change that fact.

This has nothing to do with hindsight and everything to do with foresight. Before the draft, this move wasn't going to make a difference.


Again, let's remove Blair from this. The team knew these things before this deal went down:

-Beno was inconsistent, but still had a significant contract. The Kings were coming off a 17 win season, so with the #4 pick, they were going to be giving their lottery star plenty of playing time in the backcourt. They also knew that with Beno's deal, it would be hard to move him if he wasn't going to improve. Thus, they knew they had a starting and reserve PG ALREADY LOCKED UP before this trade went down.

-They were going to use a #4 pick on a guard. A pick of Curry, or Jenngings, or Evans was still going to mean a guy was going to either start over, or back up Beno.

-Sergio could opt out and be a free agent after the season.

Those three things are enough to tell you and anybody else that trading FOR serg was going to make ZERO difference for this team. But that attitude (that is a consistent approach with GP, and not an isolated thing) actually matters with it costing the kings something in the long run.

honestly, I don't care enough about it at this point to debate during a game. we have who we have, we can't go back, and petrie had a damn good draft.

Anyone know what's up with Beno?

 

[Tetsujin]

Omri sure isn't afraid to shoot the ball.

 

[DeMoN]

Casspi has got to start making shots, he's been really off lately.

[Tetsujin]

Once again, the wheels fall off the bus

 

[rainmaker]

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Oh great. The return of the fourth quarter 1 on 1 disease.

Too many quick / bad shots.

 

[Kings Fan Gerard]

Well at least we melted down in the 4th this time.

 

[sono]

[Larry89]

[Fresno King]

Thanks for the 411 on Beno, guys.

 

[kingzallday]

Wow....What move by Spence!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[chasen4r1]

lol kevin martin airballed a layup

I'm still in shock that i just saw that.

On a side note.. that was a beautiful lay up by Hawes.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Good take Hawes. Coulda been called for a foul on that too.

 

[Showtime]

Martin tries to take over, and costs his team several possessions. What's new?

GET EVANS THE BALL AND GTF OUT OF THE WAY.

 

[=LarryLegend=]

Kings should change their name to Sacramento Jumpshots.......since no one besides Reke goes to the rim.

 

[OptimusRhyme]

hawes plays wayyyy better when JT is not on the floor.

 

[sono]

League pass' AV is in sync now.

 

[rainmaker]

take it over reke

 

[Fresno King]

I like Martin, but it's clear to me we need to deal him for a big man. The franchise will be better off.

 

[K F Jay]

George Hill 19pts 9assts

 

[Fresno King]

I swear this team has the NBA record for most times catching the basketball out of bounds late in games.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

We keep shooting ourselves in the foot.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Tim Duncans mad face is funny

 

[king07]

[chasen4r1]

This team depresses me.

 

[OptimusRhyme]

[kingzallday]

Wow every bounce of the ball has gone to the spurs today.
