Cousins has good hands and instincts, Lowe pointed it out a bit when talking about his defensive improvements. The attention wanes at times, but when he's allowed to sag off screens (an adjustment Malone made this year) and corral ball handlers like he was a goalie he can be very disruptive. Unfortunately while his attention is on the guard/wing, the Kings forget to rotate or help and the basket is wide open As far as offense goes, he's been paired with the likes of Samuel Dalembert, Jason Thompson, Reggie Evans, JJ Hickson, and Carl Landry throughout most of his career. The only time he's had a stretchy guy next to him were those 2 months Patrick Patterson didn't play like poo poo for us. It might not be an ideal fit but it's not like he's really had one before.

MourningView posted:Their fans on the internet will white knight it, yeah, but they were 30th in attendance this year and 29th the year before. Internet posters are also the ones that seem to go to maybe 2 or 3 games a year, catch the rest on TV, and tell everyone to suck it up it's for the good of the franchise. Barring a slip in the lottery which we always seem to take, I'm excited for the prospect of WCS being available at the Kings spot only for them to pass on him for another shooter who can't shoot and then spend the next season scratching their head about why their defense is so bad WhyteRyce fucked around with this message at 21:30 on Apr 28, 2015 |

I have no problems with a team deciding to blow it up. I do have a problem with the "IT'S EITHER THIS OR WE ARE SIGNING ELTON BRAND ALL OVER AGAIN" thinking. Plus, Philly's streak of mediocrity is one that other teams wouldn't mind having. Hell I wish my team was in the poo poo Eastern Conference so my poo poo team can get the 6th seed or maybe top out as a second round out quote:And no one's being cavalier with anyone's money. Season ticket holders were fully briefed on the blueprint/reasoning and they've been pretty copacetic other than some mild grumbling during the losing streak at the very beginning of the season. I've seen reddit comments that say otherwise but I guess reddit comments should never be used as evidence of anything WhyteRyce fucked around with this message at 23:39 on Apr 28, 2015 |

Going entirely by the highly accurate DraftExpress mock list, it looks like the Kings will need someone to fall in love with one of the Euros or Justise Winslow in order to get WCS

He's 6'5" but measured only a 8'0" standing reach. That's almost 4" shorter than he measured earlier at Portsmouth. That's also almost the amount of variance on his two no step verts

Provided that Magic go for shooting this year, it sounds like the Kings will have their pick of Winslow or WCS. That's not the worst choice to have

Aniki posted:That will be the dumb narrative put forward by the Colin Cowherd's of the world. There certainly is a lot of marketing potential in LA, but there's also marketing potential with being the number one pick. The Wolves are also loaded with young talent and at least from the outside looking in, the Lakers are a lot further behind in their rebuilding process, though they can eventually augment that process with FAs, but not until Bryant's $25 million contract comes off of the books. Someone on reddit said going to LA is huge for your marketability and cited Nick Young dating Iggy Azaela as his evidence. Pretty sure he was arguing this unironically

Ideally it would be a SF that can play smallball 4, but they both look a bit too small for that. I guess we'd just have to continue the Rudy Gay PF experiment. Don't really need playmaking, someone being able to stand still in one spot and hit a jumper or 3 would be way better than what we have now.

On the other, it's more amusing to me to believe this is true. So it's true to me  Knicks

If you think Towns is going to be a superstar while Okafor just a nice all-star at best, you'd have to throw more at me than Jordan Clarkson and some second round/late first pick. This isn't football, it's a superstar driven league and it's really hard to make up the difference in just depth For course that depends on what Minny thinks of Towns and Okafor. But if you got the #1 pick, you should make trades based off your own evaluations first, and trade package second. WhyteRyce fucked around with this message at 04:56 on Jun 4, 2015 |

Probably an assumption on his part because Sacramento apparently of always trying to trade their pick despite envy evidence to the contrary. Don't see what Minny can offer. Pek doesn't work with Cousins and I don't see Rubio being the type of guard they want
