    Keon is "ok". He'd work, and honestly, I'd probably would rather have him than Wiggins. Wiggins is too expensive, too many warts for the price-tag, etc.

    Never on that train. I was on the Grant trade for the right price at one time, admittedly, but he just fell off a cliff from his days in Denver.

    Heck, I'd throw the Theiro (spelling might be off) to see what he can do...

    i honestly kinda hope ellis keeps not impressing, as it will lower his price both in trade and in FA next summer. i think he's just not in a good situation.

    Sac town fans aren’t really into Ellis overall. Some think Cater is the one and others think he’s a** and actually call him that.

    again, i'm glad it's looking possible that one or both will be available. i really think a knecht swap for either one is good for all parties. all these guys need a change of scenery, and their team needs shooting and we need defense in the backcourt.

    Yes I was on the “give Dalton time train” for too long. He’s dumb as a rock and needs to go. It’s just not going to happen for him here.

    For his length alone, he’s a better fit.

    i wanted him pre-draft and was thrilled we got him. the low hoop iq is hard to see in college, but it just really pops in the nba. i think he can figure it out (he's improving off the ball in small increments, imo), but we're not on that timeline.

    I’ve come to the same conclusion. He needs to be elsewhere, where the lights are super dim- it doesn’t get much darker than at that bum Franchise, the Queens, who straight bumbled the Fox, Bonus pairing.
