    Yeah. That’s weird. I’ve gotta think someone screwed up the feed.

    Sacramentos going to be asking teams. You gotta take on Lavigne or Malik Monk. To get a Lewis.

    They’ll try to offset Derozan also. It’s all about getting off the money. Lewis will help teams. But he’ll have a lot of suiters. He has potential.

    Kings will operate as

    1. Lavigne

    2. Derozan

    3. Monk


    Lavignes checked out. In this AAU culture if you don’t know what you’re doing the players will check out and not play for you. They’ll bail.

    How they do it is play like s*** Lavigne had 8 points two games within 10 days.

    I think it’s a player thing. They all want Christie out. That’s how I read it.

    Monk looks miserable. What a difference having Mike Brown to having Doug Christie. That’s like when players be calling the agents like what the f*** are they doing here?

    OKC can put a package together for Lewis. They have the most to offer.

    I've seen it on multiple broadcasts, or I'd have thought the same thing. This is definitely on purpose, and it's just weird.

    What do they actually do?

    A shoulder for Jeanie to lean on?

    I would think they will be shown the door after the season

    fair, though tbh, that had a lot to do with this:

    i don't necessarily want fewer cooks...i want better ones. and a clear power structure. that was the magic/rob problem, i think. both thought they had control. we kept the right one amongst those two choices.

    see my posts about the clips in the other thread, lol. lue fits right in with their undoing being focusing on one-upping us instead of just getting better.

    i think this is why it was a key to have all the cap space this summer--not necessarily to use it but to use it as a threat in some instances. like if we really want keon ellis, it's a very legit bargaining chip that he's a UFA this summer, and we have enough money to just sign him and probably keep everyone else we like.

    it's also why having a roster spot and enough room under the first apron to sign a buyout is leverage: you want all the firsts? ok, we'll just wait for thybulle to be bought out.
