Ah, okay.
If your point is that Evans and Collison are both turnover-prone scorers, then we're in agreement.
Which is also why I didn't really care for the trade.

Yah, when it's all said and done I still think Holiday, and Westbrook will be better PGs than Collison. But I do think Collison will have a good career, he has proven in Paul's absence that he can play PG..
The problem I have with Collison right now is that he's trying to take over, and do everything Paul is doing. It's fine and dandy, but he's only doing the scoring part like Paul can do, and leaving some of the teammates out in the cold. His assist numbers are there but it's not telling the entire story.. But damn good for a rookie filling in. I think he can and will get better.
You're always cursing
I'm extremely passionate about my team.
No seriously, I'm working on it.

Do you really see Tyreke and Collison in the same backcourt? I just don't see it. The easiest argument against that combo is no longer is there a Tyreke matchup problem for the other team. Just give me Turner in the draft...

I'm with you, except I'm a little greedier. I think we need two combo guards both of whom are good with and without the ball. I'd like to see Evans and Turner as our backcourt (in my dreams). I may disagree a tad with you on Evans. He was better with the ball at Memphis no doubt. And he's better now with the ball as a King. But I've seen enough of him to believe that he's not congenitally bad without the ball. He does make plays without the ball. I've seen him "lock and load" on posts, and make cuts very effectively. It looks to me he has considerable potential to exploit in that area. Given who he currently plays with in the backcourt, he's not going to do a lot of that because he's so much better with the ball than anybody we have. But if he plays with somebody similar in the backcourt then I could see him diversifying his skills.
Well, technically Kobe/Wade/Roy don't present a "matchup problem" either but they seem to be effective. I think that the idea of the matchup problem might be a bit overrated.
I'm not saying move Tyreke to the 2 - I've always been a proponent of keeping him at the 1. But if we decide to do that, Collison seems to fit a reasonable mold for what we would want beside him.

The Hornets would do this deal in a heartbeat, and then laugh about it.

Eh I'll pass on this trade, they already have a older more one dimensional version of Omri anyways we can keep ours
But like somebody posted earlier a Reke/Turner backcourt could be something real nice to watch in a couple years.
Also if we could get one of those backup PG's on the cheap, I'd sign up Stevie Blake in a heartbeat.

At the Clippers game there were just as many Omri fans as Clippers fans. Lots of people in my neighborhood who don't even care about basketball love Omri. Omri will be a King for life, which lucky for us is a very good thing.

Really? I wouldn't be so sure. They would be nuts to trade him right now in my opinion. I think they should keep him at least through next season to find out whether or not this is just a hot streak. If he isn't THIS good (probably isn't) then he is still a great backup PG to have.

Lets let him play the point for the rest of the year and see how he plays once the league adapts to him. Personally I haven't seen any of the games he's started, but I doubt their doubling him the same way they do Paul. Look at how the defenses have adjusted to Tyreke around the league. I was amazed last night when in one instance Tryeke drove into the middle and there were five Utah players around him. The entire Utah team collapsed on him. Of course he kicked the ball to Hawes for a basket.
My point is, I'm not going to make a trade for a player based purely on his play over a short period of time. Besides, I like Casspi more.

I read last week a team picked anderson up already.
This is far from the first (and certainly won't be the last) trade proposal suggesting that the Kings put a "traditional" PG next to Tyreke and slide him over to the 2.
Why on earth would this team take the ball out of his hands and remove his size advantage against opposing PGs?
No, IMO the team doesn't need to be looking for a small, pass-first PG to run the team. What they need is a good sized SG with a defensive mindset and the ability to square up and hit outside shots as well as handle and pass the ball.
What this team needs is a new Doug Christie.
