He won the Mavs last game (his only game with the team) causing the Kings to have a one game worse record, move up in the draft, and swap their pick with Philly. Basically he stopped the Mavs from having the third pick. He looked like a potential end of rotation player in that one game.

Liggins has talent and has dominated in summer league/the d-league. He's showed glimpses as an end of rotation player, it's just coupled with the knowledge that he tried to smash his girlfriend's head in with an xbox

It's a mutually beneficial arragenement, he leaks them their lofty targets and then morose explanations that the other team just wanted too much for the all NBA player he was this close to trading 2 second round picks and Marcus Smart for

And we're going to need guards since Teague, Aaron Brooks, and CJ Miles are probably gone. Just leaves Lance, GR3, Monta Can Have It All, and Mighty Joe Young.

I feel like the only player less tradeable on GSW than Green is Durant (he's re-signing, probably for obscene money).

The Sacramento Kings have made it abundantly clear throughout the season how much they wanted to bring Bogdan Bogdanovic. And they are about to seriously pay him. Big time. Bogdanovic is set to become the highest-paid rookie in the history of the NBA. That’s because although he’ going to be a first-timer in the league, he’s gone well past the salary rookie-scale since he was drafted back in 2014.
