oh god i hope we aren't getting Garcia

 

[VF21]

Hey, at least he'll be closer to Dallas.

Why? More blah moves that don't really help/hurt anything.

Getting rid of Terry's contract does help. Especially since he was probably never going to play here

 

[sdballer]

I'll hold judgement until we see what we get

How does it help our team? Saves money sure but won't help the product on the floor.

It's not about what we get. It's about cleaning out some roster space. Jason Terry was never in the plans going forward.

Come on. You really think they were going to put Terry into the rotation?

Still depends on if they are totally unguaranteed, protections on the pick we send, etc.

It's possible our team is really terrible if you didn't notice. Particularly with scoring guards.

Oh, I'm sorry. I haven't seen our current roster play together. I'd kind of like to see how Nik actually plays AS A SCORING GUARD before I decide he's really terrible.

Seriously? This is a way to move an unwanted player. I don't recall anyone being happy we even got Jason Terry to begin with, but now some are afraid we didn't get enough for him?

Sorry, guys. I have better things to worry about than some non-guaranteed players we're getting in a trade for a player who wasn't in the team's plans going forward anyway. I'll let you all continue with the hand wringing. I'm gonna go back and celebrate Team USA's win.

 

[sdballer]

We sent 2 2nds just to unload an expiring deal. I thought breaking Thornton into jet/Evans was supposed to make them easier to move.

 

[jdbraver]

We are giving up 2nd rounders to unload a guy that would be gone next year.

 

[miltonap]

Apparently we're getting Alonzo gee back and unguaranteed contracts. I know Gee was on the Cavs. Anyone know anything about him? Will we waive him?

Hand wringing? Get a grip. I don't think its that big a deal either way . Just feels like low return/high cost for a decent sized expiring we didn't need to play.

My god, I can't believe some people are complaining about this one too! Terry never played for the Kings, and he was never going to play for us. trading his guaranteed contract for a bench of non-guaranteed contracts is a great move.

What do you think we were going to get for him? A first round pick? An all star level player? Lebron? Please...

 

[jdbraver]

Because only having one scoring guard is enough?

We gave up assets to unload an expiring deal. It doesn't cripple us but it's backwards thinking.

I didn't think we were ever going to get much for him. Just think its funny that people praised the Thornton for terry deal for how much easier it would be to unload and we got nothing plus had to add 2 picks. Thornton already was traded again for a better deal.

guards on the kings that can score:
Darren Collison
Ray McCallum
Nik Stauskas (Shooting guard like Terry)
Ben Mclemore (Sg like Terry)
Wayne Ellington (Sg like Terry)

oh no, why the hell did they got rid of Terry! We all expected him to play significant minutes this upcoming season.
Trading Terry and giving up 2nd rounders cleary is a sign of upcoming moves, so just relax and watch

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Because he was never going to play a SINGLE minute as a member of this team. Now we have money to use on other players, instead of paying a guy who would never see the floor.

Hope so because if not we wasted an expiring plus 2 picks for nothing.

Maybe you haven't seen most of those guys play collison is the only one that has proven he belongs on an nba roster full time.

Some people praised the Thornton for Terry deal because it got rid of Thornton.

Bitching cause we sent a player with zero value but took up cap room and used 2 nd round picks to do it. Don't overvalue the 2 nd round picks, don't overvalue Terry....I'm amazed we could offload him now. Gives us wiggle room for other low level deals or signings......unless one wants to just roll the dice on some second second rounders....geez.

Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant.
