Giles looking good. Too bad our smart GM didn’t keep him.

 

[SLAB]

I don't know losing who hurts me more... guy in my avatar or the Slovenian phenom. I'll always respect Vlade the player but I'm probably going to take my hatred for Vlade the GM to my grave.

Vlade the player doesn’t even exist to me anymore.

Richard Jefferson showing as much promise as an analyst as Ryan Hollins

I really hope Vlade nuked the bridge and he was ready to bolt, because if McNair had a chance to bring HG back on a minimum and didn’t that’s Strike 1.

The Blazers are just running the Kings bigs ragged on the drive and dish. That's what the Kings should be doing to other teams right there.

 

[Tetsujin]

All the Gentry actions that we’ve added are working. Luke’s offense isn’t

Is that a compliment?

 

[SacTownKid]

I know. The Fox/BuddyBarnes/Holmes/Nemanja crew just haven’t had enough time to iron these things out

They've been ironed out, haha. I was talking about that 3 SF unit. They were literally looking at eachother and didn't know when or if to switch.

 

[OffTheWallJamal]

Have we seen Hali and Doug Christie in the same room together? They look the same haha

Now come to think of it, I don't think DC even interviewed Ty this whole time...

Imagine thinking McNair had anything to do with Giles leaving.

 

[SacTownKid]

All the Gentry actions that we’ve added are working. Luke’s offense isn’t

And his rotations are as whacked as ever. He doesn't go small with one big at all. Instead he runs Parker at C and then puts Holmes and Bjelica back in together.

 

[The_Jamal]

Also the Hali corner 3 into an awesome shot contest on McCollum at the rim the very next possession... beautiful.

I wasn’t talking about that unit
And yeah I get what you are saying on the other unit and they is understandable

 

[SLAB]

Great minutes for HG. Love to see it.

Sacramento’s True Superstar; Jabari Parker

I think he's my early choice to moan & groan about this year, always need someone to complain about.

 

[Hoovtrain]

Vlade gaffe aside, McNair couldn’t have offered the minimum or a bit more?

 

[SLAB]

There’s going to be a long long list of guys to choose from. Lmao

 

[SLAB]

I hope Vlade turning down the option burned the bridge and he was ready to move on, love for the city aside.

 

[OffTheWallJamal]

This lineup does not look good

 

[Hoovtrain]

I really hope Vlade nuked the bridge and he was ready to bolt, because if McNair had a chance to bring HG back on a minimum and didn’t that’s Strike 1.

I think Giles was still really wanting to stay here. You could see it in his posts

 

[KainLear]

Great minutes for HG. Love to see it.

We're seeing Whiteside 2.0. Giles is going to be dynamite and then national media will suddenly show us video package of his younger days balling out of his mind and we'll once again be looked at as the Kangz who decided to let him walk because he got fat a little in one off-season.

 

[Livinthedream]

Why would HG even want to come back?

 

[Hoovtrain]

Why would HG even want to come back?

did you ever sense any sort of bitterness with him? Harry is smart enough to know this is a business and not personal

So you’re saying we’ll bring him back in 10 years?

 

[SacTownKid]

So that plus/minus on this big unit looking about right so far fellas? Jeebus.... some people never learn. Gonna die by that sword by any means necessary. This is the type preseason where you need to pick your direction and clearly small is the only way. So far, Barnes has zero minutes at PF when the stats last year appear to have followed over to this one in that regard.

 

[NewArena]

Must be nice to get all the calls. That wasn’t a foul

 

[KainLear]

This Giles thing is especially hurtful when you considered the fact that we spent a whole year "redshirt'd" him to help him rehab and get stronger physically. It's like spending 100k VC on your My Player in NBA 2K just to delete your save before you played one game because you made him too burly.

 

[KainLear]

It's not about bitterness. But besides his love for the city, what is the incentive for him to come back after he gets good somewhere else?

 

[Tetsujin]

If anything CoJo fouled Melo instead of Dame
