Larger deal probably means another top 55 protected pick. What a waste of a pick.

Can't want to trade those 2nd round picks for multiple lower 2nd round picks.

How can you not like this deal? Whiteside posted the 11th best PER last year.

Bagley also needs to prove he can stay healthy for more than 60 games.

13 years and likely this year without a post season appearance. One of the few times in history fate actually smiled on this franchise to give it a glimmer of hope and Vlade absolutely blew it. Mark my words this team will not the playoffs until he is fired. We need a GM who can actually draft...

Even if the Kings get a high draft pick, Vlade will most certainly blow it. His talent evaluation cannot be trusted, and that is very concerning when you're a small market team that cannot attract free agents.

Luka looking to average a triple double over the entire season while Bagley looking to appear in > 60 games SMH

Bogi hasn't passed the ball since the 4th quarter

It seems like you are simply arguing to argue. You made no point. How can you say bad character doesn't equal being bad teammate if you haven't defined what type of character is? Your definition is different than mine obviously, but I'm supposed to accept your opinion as fact. That's...

So basically you've been arguing semantics this entire time? Lecturing me on your definition of character against mine rather than discussing the reality of the situation? Almost every coach has said DMC is a headache in the locker room and carries around a volatile personality. Don't you...

What is your point? That being a great teammate doesn't lead to winning? DUH. That being a bad teammate doesn't prevent winning? Again, obvious. What I've been saying is that there is a critical point to which teammates will tolerate impertinent behavior in the locker room. Maybe English...

So why did Vlade the day after the trade say "characters matters...winning starts with culture" if Cousins was a great teammate? He could have said any number of things to justify the trade, but he didn't. I don't believe Vlade traded Cousins because off the court character issues, but for his...

True. Pro-athletes face immense pressures and are scrutinized. They motivate each other, but it has to be in the correct manner. Vlade as a former player understands and has experiences this, so it's hard for me to believe the type of culture that the Kings with Cousins had adhered to typical...

"good" character might hinder individual success, but it definitely has an impact on team success depending on the severity. I've had co-workers who only complained and moaned as they found problem with every single little thing creating an inhospitable work environment. The only thing I...

So who makes the lineups Joeger or Vlade? Just because Joeger uses a player a certain way doesn't mean that was Vlade's intent.

Dwayne Wade took garbage heat teams to the playoffs although they didn't have a crap front office.

Cousins cannot guard power forwards in today's game. We know this from past history or do you dispute this? Papagiannis is 7'2" and to guard stretch forwards, he would have to be the quickest 7'2" in history. Everything is conjecture until it actually happens, but I would bet that Papagiannis...

Well we don't know what Joeger's motivation was. WCS was horrible the first half of the year. Do you think if he was playing the way he was now, he would still have played KK over WCS next to Cousins. Sometimes a coach doesn't play the best starting 5 to motivate young players to enhance...

They were horrible together. Just because they played together doesn't mean they should. Neither one can guard power forwards.

Because Papiagnis and Cousins could never co-exist. Did Vlade draft Papiagnis hoping he would become great backup to Cousins? I doubt it. Koufos is most certainly a backup center so that's why he signed him.
