WOW that guy (Crawford) has been a vicious assasin against the Kings. I'd love to have him. Deadly. It seems like he's old but so what - we do not have a deadly 3-ball threat and could use the firepower.

 

[macadocious]

He's 36

 

[John Galt]

He's 36

Ah yeah, I know I was always yelling "somebody cover grandpa goddammit - he's KILLING us."

Kings will have two PGs when Collison returns

Well that's neither here nor there to me, as Crawford is a SG and we have zero there. But I just glanced at his stats and he's off to a slow start. He is probably, finally, washed up. pass.

Coach's kid Austin Rivers holds zero appeal for me I like DC and Ty better.

 

[Kingsfan23]

Rudy will likely be out against Milwaukee and maybe more. Things going from bad to worse

 

[KingsFanGER]

Austin Rivers would be a nice Addition.

 

[gunks]

Rudy has actually been balling for us.

But if he's dipping out at the end of his contact, we might as well try to get some pieces for him while we still can.

Not sure I like this deal though.

Lol is all I have to say that's a clown offer

Is it really? Gay is walking in off season. Crawford is ageless and Rivers has made himself an intruiging NBA player. Good perimeter defender, outside shooter and can get to the rim. I dont believe Doc Rivers would trade his own son though.

 

[dude12]

Doubt this happens

 

[John Galt]

What does Crawford's contract look like? This year and next year firepower off the bench and SG depth while Bogdan gets his feet wet next year? Doc's kid = pg depth and he's a big pg. I wouldn't kick this deal out of bed. I know Rudy is ballin, but I think he is a net negative with his published desire to get out of town.

 

[King Baller]

Here are my arguments against this trade:

1) Jamal Crawford is too old to be the main piece of this trade.

2) We are trading Big for Small.

3) We are trading a good player to a Pacific Division rival.

4) The player going out from the Kings is the best player in the deal.

5 The Clippers are a LA team.

yes, but is that a prediction based on knowledge, or just a Clippers fantasy scenario. Because it sounds like the latter. Rudy is worth more to us this year, and even if he walked in the summer you can sign 37yr tweener guards and below average PGs easily in free agency.

 

[Jimbob]

Not interested in the Clips scenario.

Now if OKC offers Payne and recently acquired Grant that could be interesting. It seems Grant has good potential at SF but I believe they cant trade him yet.

What I like about this is both are young and have proven they belong. Seeing the Kings suck at drafting players its nice to have an idea already how these young guys look in the NBA.

I highly doubt that Vlade holds out all summer to trade Rudy for a 36 year old Crawford and Austin Rivers.

This is a Clipper hack with this silly rumor.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Can Clipper Town even trade those two before January? I thought they both signed new deals this summer.

 

[macadocious]

I highly doubt that Vlade holds out all summer to trade Rudy for a 36 year old Crawford and Austin Rivers.

This is a Clipper hack with this silly rumor.

Jalen Rose is a clipper hack?

 

[kingsboi]

when did Jalen Rose become a reliable source? Don't believe this for one second.

 

[ockingsfan]

Jalen Rose is a clipper hack?

Your post said Jake rose!

And jalen rose is not really a reliable insider to me.

 

[Big Cuz 15]

they'd have to give a future minimally protected pick with those 2 if its gonna work. i just don't see why we'd give our 2nd leading scorer for doc's son and aging crawford.

No it's a clown offer that 28 other teams could beat and stop it with that rivers talk.

 

[ParniValjak]

If we are trading Rudy we better be getting back just as good a scorer and as many years left as Rudy has or this will get ugly.

I would rather let Rudy walk at the end of the season for nothing than trade him for a bunch of old vets or average reserves clogging up the cap room.

Well we do need a perimeter guy that can handle the ball and create. I wouldn't be opposed to this.

 

[Hoovtrain]

Actually I change my mind . I am opposed to this

 

[bajaden]

I wanted Jamal Crawford five years ago, but not now. Well, let me rephrase that, not now for Rudy Gay. I agree with Bricky that with the current state of the Kings team, Gay is more valuable than the addition of Crawford and Rivers. Now if Crawford was five years younger, then I'd have a different opinion. Not to mention, our roster doesn't have room for two players. We need to do a two for one the other way.
