Worst trade of 2011 Offseason?
- Thread starter Heuge
- Start date
Management
I think the management needs to have a plan and discuss it with the players specifically the guards. What I was tired of was every time Udrih or Evans had the ball they just stared at each other like, "who's gonna bring the ball up?"
Sometimes Udrih would sometimes Tyreke would, the management did not say Tyreke you bring it up or vice-versa. Westy would just say "they are guards," when asked who is your pg?
Management needs to say either Tyreke or Fredette you are the pg. You _____(fill in name) need to be the GD floor general.
Set some boundaries, tell people "thier position!"

This is such hyperbolic BS it's absurd you weren't called on it days ago.
As I said in another thread, if Jimmer is as good a defender next year, I will gladly admit I was wrong - but I would lay money that he won't be.
Beno studied for years to learn NBA players - and people think that kind of experience can be replaced at a whim.
Beno is not even close to being a bad defender - if anyone watched him last year (without bias from years ago when he was demonized) they would see that the vast majority of the time, he was in the right position, and defended the play right, hundreds and hundreds of plays.
Does that mean he wasn't scored on?
No - because NBA PG's are impossible to guard one-on-one, especially when they get screens to peel the defender OFF.
My problem with the trade is that you are giving up your ONLY reliable player who could be counted on in the clutch.
Some people are conveniently forgetting that he was one of the only Kings that actually ran plays in the 4th without consistently coughing it up and giving away the game. Does that mean he never made mistakes? No - if he was that good, with that good of clutch FT shooting and deadly pull-up jumper and ability to drive and convert layups like noone on this team (other than maybe Thornton), than he would be a lot more valued than he is.
But all I know from last season is that the rest of the Kings were the Keystone Cops out there in the 4th quarter, and the management just sent away their only consistent clutch player that stabilized the team when they desperately needed it, for an untested rookie and a proven Attitude ballhog.

The biggest difference between Beno last season and his first couple seasons with the Kings is that he was putting forth an effort on defense. However, that doesn't change the fact that he is a BAD defensive player. I wouldn't call him the worst defensive PG in the league, but he is a bad defender. It is yet to be seen whether or not Jimmer can play defense at least as well as Beno next season, but it will be hard for him to be much worse as long as he puts forth an effort (which I expect him to do).
