Vlade says DMC untradeable (on SiriusXmradio)

Could be LMAO at Grant and pals for pushing the debunked narrative. On a larger scale, at the 1000 rumors all over the internet in general. His old conflict with the press.
Could be LMAO at Karl for getting contradicted. Which wouldn't be great because it would underscore bitterness/conflict there.
Could be LMAO at Vlade, thinking he's either lying or not in as much control as he thinks.
Could be LMAO at everyone, because he's ready to force his way out and these promises will mean nothing.
The only one of those that is any good is the first one, but in truth I think it the most likely given his tweet history. When you really get down to parsing a lot of his cryptic and worrisome tweets, you can translate almost all of them into problems with the media as opposed to (or in addition to) others. They have been his primary antagonist. Well, them and the refs.

I wouldn't say they play nothing like them.
Under Kerr they've done a lot of things that the glory day Kings did - big man (Bogut in this case) operating from the high post for handoffs and backdoor passes, lots of quick screens and especially pin down screens to free shooters, lots of two man game, using their PG more off the ball, lots more ball movement, and above all lots of guys looping as action is initiated from the elbow. Kerr undoubtedly picked that up from Pop but Pop took it from Adelman.
Obviously things are different because the rosters are different, but the offensive principles are largely the same. The Kings best player was Webber and the Warriors is Curry. The Kings had an elite defender at SG while the Warriors have one at PF. Etc, etc. But in terms of playing style I really see a lot of similarities.
The biggest difference is that the Warriors are going to win a title this year - mostly because there's nothing close to the Kobe/Shaq Lakers left for them to go through.

No, you wouldn't come out that strongly on national radio without even an equivocating "you never say never but..." and then trade him the same summer. You'd look like an ass, and an untrustworthy one too.
This was a calculated move to be sure to finally put a cork in the rumormill and perhaps settle Cuz. But unless Cuz pops up wanting to force the trade, you just don't make strong statements, even including a little rebuke to your 1000 win coach, and then dump guys a month or two later. People remember, fanbases remember.

Because that's not who he is.
He has been absolutely put through a shredder this year by some sports "experts" who, it turns out, know nothing more than anybody on this forum. I believe in him, I believe that he believes in loyalty, and I think he knows that Vlade would not say anything he didn't believe.
