So they didn't give a crap about D'Angelo, Randle or JC? Only BI? Wow. So they're willing to pick up Tyreke, Galloway, Hield and a couple picks that may or may not turn out that well.
This is taken from an article on theringer: I think there is a bit of truth in that statement. Do I think the Kings were aware of that truth? No, lol
So I guess Vlade based this trade off the Rising Stars game, because that's the only time I've seen Hield look impressive.
Harden was traded in year 4 because it was believed he didn't have IT to be a max player. OKC cost themselves a dynasty because they were impatient. OKC have had some of the best drafts I have ever seen in the late 2000's. Lakers can not make that mistake for Boogie freakin Cousins.
truth hurts bro lol....but hopefully this speaks more volume about Ingram than it does Russell. While I would take BI for Cousins trade, I think this was the right none move
Never said they would be anything resembling Cousins. I said I think both will be huge pieces for the team going forward and I am perfectly fine being patient building around them. There have been players just fine on the Kings in the past. Did we hear player complaints from Webber, Divac, Bibby, Peja etc. when they were actually good? Granted playing in Sacramento currently doesn't help, I think his immaturity wouldn't stop just because he was traded to a more desirable location. He's just a nut job, whether it's there or here. Plus I don't think the Lakers don't have that leader who can control him and if he doesn't like it on the Lakers, he can bolt in 2018. Again, I acknowledged Cousins is a beast and would have been a huge addition but I don't lament not trading BI for him. I am that high on BI and Zubac that I feel we have two studs in the making, who are younger, cheaper, not hitting free agency in 2018 and far less baggage. I do wish Sacramento would have budged off their BI demand because the Lakers could have offered better than New Orleans.
I agree its not over but from what we seen recently, I dont hold much hope for him. He can still be a good player but not a star IMO
Vivek shouldn't show up to games, his life might be in danger, might as well move the kings to another city now....no way in hell they're gona get any more support after this
Truth is that it's the Sactown and they would trade Lebron James away for a chili cheese dog if they had him.
Jimmy Butler, Giannis, Kawhi, Chauncey Billups, Jermaine O'neal.... players grow and develop. There is no way we can definitively know what career Dlo, Randle or Ingram will have based on 1-2 years. I've been critical of D'lo mostly because of his attitude. He is a young player, he will make tons of mistakes. But he uses up most of his good graces just by having a poor attitude and generally annoying personality overall.
