This is agonizing.

You ARE a Kings fan, right?

Nets gotta have like to guys on their roster at this point lol

Certainly not us.

We'll be talking in a little over an hour, when/after Ja comes to Sacramento and brings a handful of draft picks along with him...

In one hour we’re going to be the exact same team we are now, and I’m going to want to punch a hole in the wall of the G1C.

This deadline sucks, its just owners saving money

Hey... Memphis now as a backlog of picks. If they are desperate enough, Perry's strategy just might work at the noon deadline.

 

[Tetsujin]

HOLY crap

I maintain that the current CBA is just plain bad for the league as far as the product is concerned. It stifles front office creativity and forces media/fan engagement to be focused on all the wrong things. It seems like it's doing what it's supposed to; save the owners from themselves. But that certainly doesn't make the league any more compelling or the trade deadline any more interesting.

Domas market might be hot again

In other words, you maintain that being a Kings fan may never be fun again (at least not for a very long time).

Well, CBAs are not forever. This one runs through 2030, and I imagine there will be some dissatisfaction with the current apron framework

 

[Tetsujin]

I guess the Clippers are blowing it up then?

Yeah, fans should not be fist pumping " YES, THIS GETS US OUT OF THE LUXURY TAX" in relation to their team

 

[Tetsujin]

On the other hand this trade doesn’t look good if Tyrese doesn’t get back to where he was before the injury.

Every year at this time, I hit refresh, refresh, refresh expecting there to somehow be a different outcome than all the years prior.
Because I'm posting this now, I am hopefully jinxing that and a trade goes as hoped LOL

Every year at this time, I do the same. Until I am reminded, or I remind myself, that I am a Kings fan.
