So the trade clearly isn't officially consummated yet - is there any chance the Kings could see the total trashing they're getting and get cold feet? Normally I'd say handshake deals are solid, but it is The Kings, After All

Sure, if they never want to be involved in a trade again.

Considering how he's ran the team so far this year, Gentry is going to completely waste this front court combo until he's fired.

I have my complaints with Gentry, but what did you expect him to do on offense with the pieces he has this season?

Can Durant/Green remotely guard Davis/Boogie? That is going to be a highly entertaining series if GSW can't play the death lineup.

(Warriors in 4)

Neither can guard AD at all. Boogie has been significantly hampered by them.

The problem is that Cousins and AD both draw fouls well and neither Zaza nor McGee are gonna get the benefit of the doubt. Green and Durant will get more leeway but are just going to get worn out and abused. It's a bad matchup.

OTOH Pelicans can't defend GSW on the perimeter at all so.

Jrue and Moore are good guard defenders. That SF spot, though...

Hey Kibner, I just thought of something. What if CP3 returns to NOLA in free agency and wins one there with AD and Boogie? :allears:

It would be dreamy. In that same universe, I hope West gets one, too.

Everyone is happy. Most fans I've met weren't even particularly mad about CP3, and those that were seemed to quickly forget when the deal ended up with us getting AD.

If CP3 got to ride off into the sunset winning one for New Orleans in his final stint that'd be some fairy tale level poo poo.

The only downside is we'd lose Jrue, who I love (though I think Kibner's always just been lukewarm on Jrue).

Naw, Jrue is awesome and I love watching him. He's my current favorite player on the team. Maybe you confused that with Tyreke, who I hate watching? Or Terrence Jones who I dislike for assaulting a homeless man? Or maybe Ajinca who likes to average a foul per minute?

Glad those three are gone or about to be gone.

Remember when Vivek wanted the Kings to play 4 on 5 on defense leaving one player to stand under the opposite basket and cherry pick?

Buddy Hield is going to loving eat in that system.

And the Kings wouldn't even be any worse on defense than if he wasn't cherry picking! :haw:

Buddy seems to be self-driven and doesn't worry overmuch about what others think of him. I think he will be fine. It will be a huge struggle for him, though, but I think he has the inner strength to get through it ok.
