It is actually vitally important to me that Galloway can continue playing in the NBA somewhere and be legitimately happy with where he lands.

Haha I like it when my "you're gonna really like him enjoy your ex-Knicks" comes true like with Galloway and JR Smith and stuff

Galloway finds a team for certain he's too good not to play

I cant wait for Davis/Cousins 4/5 pick and rolls

I am extremely curious about this fit, though. Cousins is not a great rim protector nor can he really guard the perimeter so Davis is still going to have to do the lion's share of the defensive work. On the other end, sure, they both shoot threes (at an okay-ish clip) but I still think this clogs up the lane quite a bit.

Obviously the talent will supersede a lot of this, but it's gonna be fun to watch.

Cousins has played with great spacers such as Jason Thompson, Carl Landry, Kosta Koufos, Thomas Robinson, and Samuel Dalembert. Offensively they'll find a way to work.

This bullshit Organization isn't gonna change poo poo and is instead gonna continue to be mediocre with maybe a year or so of a flash of something. 41-41 and 8th or 7th seed.

Paxson is on the Kenny Williams lifetime job track. He's not going anywhere. Job for Life.

Gar Foreman and his Wife is buddy buddy with Michael Reinsdorf.

Hoiberg's job is safe at least one more year. They aren't going to want to pay a coach ~15 million dollars to not coach the team. Hoiberg and Gar are p much a package deal at this point. Hell Gar was the one who bought Hoiberg's house when Hoiberg was done playing here in his career.

They really, really aren't. Trading Ingram + Someone or Someones Else (because they were going to have to do that to make the money work) for potentially only 1.5 years of Cousins--who said he's not signing an extension, and who's losing 200 million dollars because of this trade--and the draft pick that comes due coincidentally the year after that would be a pretty big risk a. Not to mention they offered guys who are better players right now and the Kings said no.

He made them look bad by being an outspoken top 15 player on a team that miserably failed for years to provide stability and talented teammates. The cloud over the locker room isn't DMC, it's front office stink.
