[Game] Kings v. Timberwolves - 2/27/17 - 7:30PT/10:30ET

1. Sure, give you that.

2. Webber was traded for old garbage on a solid a team (obviously not a move to improve in the future), to pad the Maloofs pockets. Cousins got us a rookie lottery pick, another (probably) lottery pick and an almost guaranteed chance to stay in the lottery with our own pick this year. No, it's not fair face value, but comparing getting Kenny Thomas and elderly filler to essentially 3 lottery picks is really silly.

3. And I respect the man for it. But Webber was the heart and soul of the best era of Sacramento basketball.

Hey, Papa made KAT miss a shot

Best case scenario is the #2 and the #4

Um, okay...tell that to the people who are sitting in those fancy new seats they paid way too much money for. We were supposed to be done with this crap. Forgive me if I'm not over-excited about the intriguing possibility of traveling 2 hours each way to watch the team I've followed since 1985 stink up the freaking court...again.

Or be Portland and tank to end up with the #1 pick in the draft, who saw less time on the court in his entire career than some of our rooks have seen this season.

Annoys me how we never try to run offensive plays for Papagiannis.

I had the fortune of being at the Arco draft party when we picked Boogie. That building was electric. We knew what we just got. Hard to get over the fact we’ll need to try and get just as lucky one more time.

But what's important to remember is that when the Kings get blown out by twenty they are doing so with a smile on their faces and character in their souls.

It's really not a good question. We got old nothings for Webber while still being a playoff team. We got assets to build on for Cousins on a team that was going nowhere.

God Bless us every one.

Assets to build on is the new "moveable pieces"

I HATE seeing the Lawson and Collison/Tyreke dribbling shows taking 40 shots combined for guys who wont be here next year. Those guys are not playing team ball anymore they are not dumb they see the writing on the wall!!

How is these guys looking out for their next contracts going to develop willie skal buddy etc?

Id rather even see Skal/Willie ISO than whatever those three are doing.

Buddy is a freakin Marco Belineli clone in every way. He can kinda shoot but can not seperate so you can't run sets for him. Im not sure you can develop athleticism and speed as you get older. He can't handle or create either so you can not put him in pick n rolls either. And a bad to average defender on top of that. If Joerger makes something significant out of him Ill be shocked.

Remember when we out muscled these same Wolves at the beginning of the year? Man that feels like years ago.

Salty

Hell yeah thats the spirit! Getting me all fired up Tetsujin!

And hope Philly get the 1st pick

We really need a sarcasm Emoji cuz I have no clue what this means

"They're trying really hard."

God bless you, Jerry.

TIL three lottery picks is negligible

"THE FUTURE!" -Grant

"Strides need to be made this year." -Jerry

Wow Grant saying the trade was made for the future not for the playoffs this year. Wasn't he screaming at callers that we were NOT tanking just a day after the trade??

Except I have zero faith in Vlade and Vivek to do much of anything with them.

It is not an ideal reality you are right. However, the Cousins reality was mediocre at best. We were 9 games under 500, we had never made the playoffs with Boogie. I loved the guy and no one has ever doubted his talent, but it was time. Yes we were more competitive, but we weren't heading towards anything but a 37 win season without draft picks. Both parties needed a fresh start.

I'm glad Grant reassured me that the trade was not about making the playoffs this year I will sleep so much better tonight knowing that this wasn't a failure. Going to have to go buy sunglasses tomorrow with a future that bright!

I was hoping this year would be the year I didn't need to follow college basketball.

How much faith did you have in Vlade and Vivek to put enough talent around Cousins to be a playoff team?

We'll draft 2 new Steph Currys and another Klay Thompson.

More than I probably should have.

Also a Draymond Green

Literally none, but at least with Cuz we had the most important part of a potential playoff team, THE STAR.

Now we don't even have that.

Don't worry. If things aren't better in two years, Vlade'll resign. If Vivek doesn't impulsively fire him first.

On the plus side, when we lose we don't get have to hear Grant get all excited the whole game
