“Possibly” doing a lot of heavy lifting in that tweet

I'm finding it extremely difficult to see what exactly this trade accomplishes.

Weird but maybe the Wiz are going to take a big swing after tanking one more year.

At least we will now have to play CJ 2x a year max unless we meet Washington in the NBA Finals, which I would be ok with.

Well, definitely not sad to see certified Kings killer CJ get sent East.

#obscureoffshoregamblingsite quadrupled our playoff odds

The joke's gonna be on you. Someone else will now be stepping up into that role.

Hilarious trade. New Orleans become less serious each season haha. So much wasted talent there

And people are worried we can't find a potential trade for Zach LaVine? The good version of Jordan Poole?

I wanted Poole for the car crash entertainment he brings to the game.

2-14 from three? Who cares! BOMBS AWAY!!!

New Orleans in the past week has (1) traded Indiana back their unprotected 2026 pick only to have it become incredibly valuable once Tyrese’s Achilles snapped on the biggest stage and (2) traded for Jordan Poole. And yet the Kings are the dysfunctional ones.

For once, the Kings need to take advantage of some other team's dysfunctionality. Pels have some assets that we can use.

If I had infinite money one of the first "investments" I would make would be to get you your own NBA franchise just to see what you would do with it.

Replacing Kuzma with Middleton and Poole with McCollum makes them seem like a more professional/ serious basketball club. Their best years might be behind them but they're not getting in the way of anyone...

These guys had hope?

They are in perpetual rebuild mode hoping to get their franchise guy in the draft. Their whole modus operandi seems to be to acquire talent and flip them into future picks. The lottery gods have not been kind to them.

We missed out on Deni. Is there any way to snag Bub Carrington from them? His stats may not be impressive but I have a feeling that he is going to break out soon.
