that would’ve royally pissed me off
Sounds to me like one of those deals where Memphis made the offer and the Kings said no.Thats such a bad trade that me, a noted Marvin Bagley non-fan, would have wanted to break stuff. Like the only explanation is that Monte was consulting with Vlade Divac bad.
I can't imagine if we offered the 9 it would have been turned down. That's just paying a team to take Bagley and I don't think we are there, teams just want to lowball us, which I guess makes sense given what a little turd his dad is.Sounds to me like one of those deals where Memphis made the offer and the Kings said no.
