The Kings gave away all their picks then decided to tank and got what will be a mid-first round pick and an old rookie for one of the most dominant forces in the NBA. There's nothing to be had here.

Oh there are plenty of people that wanted Cousins gone and are pleased, including the hacks in the Sacramento media. The AM radio is full of hot takes. But they think we'll actually be a better team now without him

If you have a superstar but can't build around him, it's ok to cut your loss to speed up the rebuild, poo poo happens. But they traded pennies on the dollar, and they had another season and a half of Cousins under contract. They could have done what the Timberwolves did and traded him this offseason for a bigger haul.

even Steph Curry for Boogie straight would have been a bad trade for the Kings imagine Steph Curry playing on a team with no real offensive scheme no good screeners and nobody playing defense haha now we get to see it with Buddy Hield

straight up brolic posted:Vivek' obsession with the Warriors is unhealthy It's so 100% a Tech thing. Remember that weekend where the CEO of Zynga showed up on an episode of Silicon Valley and also showed up courtside waving a baby bottle at LeBron James (who would go on to defeat the Warriors as they blew a 3-1 lead in the NBA finals despite having the league's first unanimous MVP)? Tech loves GSW they're WINNERS

In one way I'm happy that Cousins is gone because Vivek and the FO have no excuses or cover now. Nothing can be done about Vivek but maybe enough people will stop treating Vlade as that kindly old grandpa we loved and have good memories of and instead see him now as that senile old dude who says a bunch of racist poo poo at the dinner table and pees himself

Dexo posted:We go live to the Dog Whistles. Also funny because I heard a lot of the same things about Tyreke on his way out, except he actually sucked, and now he's back. Hield will get a lot of that poo poo thrown his way too if he continues his refusal to pass. Even if you buy into the bad teammate stuff with DeMarcus we've seen guys like Rasheed, Stephen Jackson, etc. be important players on championship teams. Extend it to every year post Cousins and you add Jimmer.

(sure, let's go with) Kings FINALLY get rid of Poisonous Baby Demarcus Cousins. Tremendously skilled , I don't think he'll ever be part of a true winning team in the NBA. Prove me wrong, Cuz, prove me wrong.

Ignoring the fact that they only ever added Rudy Gay and Carl Landry as legitimate NBA starters, the only help Cousins ever got was from a midget PG that the ownership group chased away. I don't think Lebron could have dragged some of these teams.

Uh, you guys realize that Curry has been one of the top finishers inside the paint right, like "top 10 in the entire league including bigs" He's not just a jump shooter

# ? Feb 20, 2017 20:49 |

If peak Nash played with Durant today, or anytime in the last 5 years, he also wouldn't be the best player on his own team. That hardly makes Curry worse than Nash.
|
# ? Feb 20, 2017 20:51 |
|
Also seems kinda weird to compare shooting percentages and ignore that Curry has maintained a 41% 3-point average while shooting double the volume of 3's than peak Nash the past 4-5 years. You're then arguing Jose Calderon at 1-2 attempts per game was a better shooter than Dirk or Ray Allen because he hit a higher percentage.
