indy isnt extending a QO to evan turner. i didnt really pay much attention to him in philly or indy this year. anyone know why his value is spiraling down so far? would he be a good backup to rudy?
That works for me although we would have to really hit the pavement for starting caliber pg. Livingston? Collison? Ehh. Although with smith you get closer to rondo. Ben + Williams + terry for rondo? Doubt that gets it done. We shall see. They drafted smart for a reason

League sources tell PBT that Isaiah Thomas is drawing interest from the Pistons, Mavs, Lakers, Heat and Suns.
Aaron Bruski @aaronbruski 12m
Pistons have showed the most interest so far, talks have started in the 3/24M range. Other talks ranging from $6-7M per year.

If Isaiah Thomas is getting interest from the Pistons, could we be looking at a larger deal involving Josh Smith coming to Sacramento?
Just read pistons also willing to give up Monroe in a s&t if he became too costly. I wouldn't mind getting back Monroe or smith if we had to send out IT. If it's gonna cost 8 mil, maybe package him with Landry and contracts should match up
i thought he had problems with stevenson. if that is the case then its probably more on lance. just wondering if we should give another former #2 pick a shot at reviving his valueFor some reason, I feel like I've heard somewhere he hasn't been a good teammate...
how was his defense though? altering shots? honestly i dont watch the pistons unless theyre playing the kings but sometimes having a couple 6'11 bigs with long arms in the lanes can alter shots without recording blocks. then again if he wants a max contract, that might be out of the question like you saidMonroe is one of the worst shot-blocking bigs in the league. There was a 20-or-so day stretch where essentially every PG in the league, INCLUDING JIMMER, had more blocks than Monroe. That was because Monroe hadn't blocked a shot in X amount of days. He's looking for a max deal, so I don't think it's in the cards. Plus, I feel his offensive game is too similar to DMC's for them to coexist.

ET is a stronger Stauskas (waaay thicker) with great ball skills and a knack for attacking the rim. Outside shot? He's still trying to find it under the buffet table (yes, I think he's overweight and kinda' has mom arms going on). If he rededicates to bball he could be a very good player. I loved him out of Ohio State, but in the NBA, not s'much.
Collison... I really think he's our target at pg.In regards to a starting PG, if we got Monroe or Smith - Id be down starting Ray and giving him a chance to grow and develop a full year with Cuz and Gay.
Lolol!!edit: NVM, got duped.
And so did Jason Jones apparently.. Lol. that's what I get for following him

I think you will find that a lot of us do not mind if we get Davis. Many of us would be intrigued but he cannot be it at that position. Just can't! There needs to be genuine veteran that is a starter on majority of other teams otherwise its a case of swinging for the fences with more chance of it not working out! Davis as a back up I am up for that but as a starter next to Cousins, I am not so sure about that!Concerning the 4 spot. Getting Ed Davis would be huge for the King imo. Otherwise, I'd be happy with Sanders, although he raises some serious red flags.
Given how many teams are interested in Monroe, there is no way in hell he takes less. He will get a big pay day no doubt. The question is will Detroit match or will they say no thanks and commit to Drummond-Smith front court. What happens with Monroe might have strong implications on our chances of getting Smith....if we are interested that is.Just re Monroe - yeah, bad fit next to Cuz. However, if you're getting him in a S&T for IT and other contract, you have to do it, just a big talent upgrade. It's unlikely given that Monroe is rumoured to be looking for that big contract, but if he was willing to take less, it's something you probably have to do. Especially considering everyone here wants more ball movement - Cuz and Monroe really would start to resemble Webb and Vlade up there as both are fantastic passers. Defensively different story, but the team would improve with two very talented offensive bigs out there. Smith in an IT S&T is more likely, but I wouldn't turn down Monroe for the right price. Can always move him on later if it doesn't work.
Holy turds. 3yrs $19mil for Jodie freakin' Meeks??
Meeks had an outstanding year last season. Can guard 1's. THIS. IS. FA.
Nothing else? lolOutstanding is a gross overstatement. He played in a team that played to his strengths. He wouldn't get those minutes on a good team, and he was allowed to get open shots in a fast offense. Luckily, that's his strength. He's a great shooter, but he does literally nothing else. Over 6 mil per is a joke.
Does this mean they aren't looking at IT anymore. Or do they want that pairingHoly turds. 3yrs $19mil for Jodie freakin' Meeks??
