From Coach Nick of BBallBreakdown. Really good analysis in my opinion, really captures what Rondo is doing well.

http://grantland.com/the-triangle/the-mutually-beneficial-pairing-of-rudy-gay-and-the-kings/ This a great comprehensive article on Gay's new deal, the X's and O's behind his success with the Kings, and his fit with Cousins going forward.

Incredibly, somebody was able to calculate Real +/- stats from Summer League action. Moreland ranked third in the entire tournament. Small sample size of course, but underscores how well he played and what kind of impact he made when he was on the court...

http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/10703238/sacramento-kings-demarcus-cousins-refuses-put-act-espn-magazine A bit sensationalized but I think it was a good overall read

What do you think is fair pick value (2014 draft) for our roster? My take: Cousins: Pick #1-3 McLemore: Pick #5-7 Thomas: Pick #14-17 Vasquez: Pick #18-20 Landry: Pick #18-20 Thompson: Pick #20-23 Thornton: Pick #20-23 Patterson: Pick #25-28 McCallam: Pick #25-28 Jimmer: Second Round...

That's Chris Kelly, one of our whale investors. I'm wondering how prevalent this thought is amongst the ownership group. I tend to agree with this sentiment. I'd love to see an Evans/Cousins led team make a huge turnaround next year with good management and a good coach. I hope they try to...

http://www.cowbellkingdom.com/2012/08/10/cowbell-kingdom-podcast-ep-53-isaiah-thomas-recaps-kings-voluntary-mini-camp/ Some really interesting tidbits (assuming Isaiah is being honest and not just politically correct): 1. Tyreke's improved jumper. Yeah yeah, I know, "we've heard this story...

With all of the depressing arena talk going around, lets talk basketball for this thread. More specifically, the potential of a really dynamic Twill/Tyreke duo in the starting lineup. The Tyreke Evans PG experiment is dead. He takes way too long to set up the offense and is clearly more...

He wants out. I always believed he was underrated and unused in Atlanta. Has a nasty contract, but a solid, non ball dominant shooter who isn't a liability on defense. ATL probably just wants out of his contract, so a straight up Hickson for Williams swap I think would be beneficial for both...

He reported on his Twitter that the current starting lineup of Evans/Thornton/Salmons/Thompson/Cousins is 6-1 this year. Gotta credit Coach Smart for getting them to play together as a team. The ship just might be turning around in front of our very eyes

300th career coaching win. Its been a rough season, and although I'm sure everybody has had at some point criticized the rotations, the way he's handled players, etc. but things are definitely looking up, with the rotations seemingly figured out now and the team is finally clicking. Props.

They really have to end. Seriously, is it so hard to stick with a consistent rotation? You have two PGs (Head and Beno), two SGs (Reke and Garcia), two SFs (Casspi and Greene), two PFs (Thompson and Landry), and two Cs (Dalembert and Cousins). Not only has the offense been godawful but the...

At Halftime: Raptors: 70 Nets: 33 Anyone watching this massacre? :eek: (if a mod feels this is better merged with the "NBA Comments" thread then feel free to merge. Not that you need my permission to do so, I'm just... ah whatever)

http://basketball.realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/57413/20090219/celtics_trade_obryant_to_sacramento/ We got him for nothing. Athletic, young seven footer. I say why not?

Anybody catch that little piece? It was nice to see :) They ran a mock pick and roll against Ernie and Barkley, good memories. Chuck played the role of "crappy defender":D

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Arh5bmAsWb0 But... it's KG! He's so intense! :rolleyes: If that was ANYBODY else, that would be a technical foul and possible ejection. **** like this pisses me off.

We're seeing flashes for sure. In tonight's game, he had a clutch offensive rebound to keep the game just out of hand for Memphis. Also, on the last play with 30 seconds left, it was Thompson who attacked and drew the double team to an open Beno three. Beno missed, but I thought the play...

http://basketball.realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/54294/20080905/cleveland_signs_lorenzen_wright/ Good for Wright. He didn't get playing time here, but he was always enthusiastic in his support for the other players.

What. An. Idiot.

They're playing some fantastic basketball right now, with a 10 game winning streak in which they've beaten some very solid teams. Brandon Roy has been awesome with back to back Western Player of the Week awards, and is looking like a future All-Star. Granted, they've been shooting ridiculously...
