I would be openly celebrating if the Pistons got Cousins for Andre Drummond.

I would have poo poo myself sideways if this had happened. Please somebody take Drummond off our hands. Stevie Wonder has a better FT%.

And Stevie's a better tipper at restaurants

I guess Vivek is draining the swamp. Vlade is DeVos?

DeVos' team got a better return on a trade this week

quote:

Ranadive, who declined to speak for this story, is said by his critics to be a cloistered thinker, beholden to his own whims. Kings partners are profoundly frustrated with his governance of the basketball side of the team, as has been reported, and amazed that he appears to have been emboldened, rather than humbled, by seeing so many of his decisions fail.

"You would think that after making an rear end of yourself, whether it's 4-on-5 or one bad hire after another, that you'd become more collaborative and seek out help," says a well-placed source. "Vivek has done just the opposite. Instead of putting together a brain trust, he's his own brain trust -- he and whoever the last person he talked to is."

quote:

There's a running joke in the NBA that the Warriors led Ranadive's Kings campaign as a means of ridding the partnership of its most abrasive owner.
