Andrea Bargnani not the next King (merged)

[ockingsfan]

I predict Kings announce Josh Smith signing by tomorrow night!

 

[ockingsfan]

Spin, spin, spin... folks can spin this anyway they want. "Bargs unwilling to play of Kings" or "Kings keeping actual plans from press" just pee poor reporting from guys with no clue.

Well Jason Jones did confirm the reports

 

[sidney]

There was talk about the thunder giving away some players after they match cantor since they'll be in the tax. Novak has 1 cheap year left. Would that be better or worse than bargnani?

 

[HndsmCelt]

Well Jason Jones did confirm the reports

we have no clue what if anything the Kings offered. maybe we did offer more than vet min... maybe Vlade backed out of talks because Bargs wanted too much... point is the SPIN is being chosen to advance a particular narrative about the Kings.

 

[VF21]

Keep in mind this could all have been done by Bargnani's agent.

 

[funkykingston]

My guess is that the Nets are looking at him as a sixth man/spot starter and the Kings were looking at him as a situational 4th big. That and I'm guessing Bargnani actually likes living in NYC and playing in Brooklyn he can keep his existing place.

Either way I'm fine with Bargnani not being on this team. Vlade's been putting together a very tough minded and passionate team and while Bargnani would bring a needed element as a shooting big, I'd just as soon get a lunchpail type to be our veteran PF.

 

[miltonap]

blessing in disguise, this guy's defense is trash

 

[kupman]

I'm going to work very hard to get past this latest franchise setback.

 

[kupman]

Okay, I'm over it now.

 

[Jkbiker]

Stays in NY area, is 2-3rd Big not the 4th big, will get more minutes

But why wait so long? We leverage again? get Nets offer up?

 

[Chupacabra]

Alright, pack it up everyone! The season is over.

 

[King Baller]

Easy come, Easy go

Next!!!

Maybe Vlade is putting together some faux deals to find the weasel that keeps spilling the beans!

The #Nets just announced they've agreed in principle with Andrea Bargnani

Hmm. Kings possibly got played again? Leverage 3 Kings 0

LOL more like:

Kings raising prices of free agents for other teams: 3

Media guessing Kings real targets: 0 (well maybe 1 : rondo)

 

[The Hammer]

Maybe Vlade is putting together some faux deals to find the weasel that keeps spilling the beans!

I think there might actually be some truth to this. He mentioned something like this in an interview.

I strongly believe NONE of the leaks have come from within the Kings organization.

 

[Bricklayer]

Oh darn.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

['89 Kings Fan]

Condolences Nets fans.

 

[Hoovtrain]

Well screw that guy

 

[Gary]

Glad we didn't sign that stiff. Even if it was as the 10th player.

 

[hrdboild]

Billy King coming through in the clutch! The summer of love continues!

 

[Return To Glory]

Woo-Hoo!!! Yes!!!

 

[kingjatt]

He shot 30 percent from three since 2010. He had the worse plus minus on a 17 win team last year. Not going to lose sleep over this.

 

[KingsCitizen]

Oh well there goes our playoffs!







NOTTTtTtT!

 

[ockingsfan]

This should tell you what type of player Bargs is, he's too lazy to relocate to California.

 

[sauce-26]

No wonder Knicks fans are mad. Look what they gave up
ESPN: Overall, though, Bargnani didn't meet expectations during his two seasons as a Knick. He played in just 71 of a possible 164 games after arriving in a 2013 trade with the Toronto Raptors for Marcus Camby, Steve Novak, a 2016 first-round pick and two second-round picks.

Thank you, Billie King, for taking that cup away from all of us.
