Sacramento Kings off-season thread

THIS LINEUP IS HORSE ****

WHO THE **** CAN SCORE?

WHERE IS GAY?

 

[rck3sactown]

Can we get Gay in the game pls

 

[niketalker23]

THIS IS THE WORST LINEUP I HAVE SEEN IN KINGS HISTORY

 

[niketalker23]

Dear lord this roster is ****

and Jimmer is back down to earth, and everyone realizes is sucks again after those 3 minutes.

 

[lightweight champion]

I've seen worse lineups. Remember the likes of Pooh Jeter, Bobby Brown, Spencer Hawes, and Samuel Dalembert?

 

[niketalker23]

What's the point of having Jimmer in there with IT if you're not going to have Jimmer come off screens and shoot the ball when he's hot?

And as I say that, Williams puts the ball on the floor AGAIN when he had an open jumpshot

It's close man...

 

[niketalker23]

Jimmer is horrible

 

[lightweight champion]

His decision is making is definitely awful

 

[rck3sactown]

Watching him play reminds me of seeing a fish out of water. Just jumping/moving around frantically, always looking like he's in a panic

 

[lightweight champion]

Similar to Jason Thompson when it comes to knowing what to do.

 

[rck3sactown]

Apparently the Kings are interested in Andre Miller.

He has $2 mil guaranteed for next season.

 

[lightweight champion]

We badly need a 2nd PG

 

[rck3sactown]

this is interesting...

• The Cavaliers and Kings have been among the most aggressive teams in pursuit of trades, league sources say. On the heels of acquiring Rudy Gay from Toronto, the Kings are “swinging for the fences” on the trade market, one rival executive said. One top priority is shoring up the point guard position, with Andre Miller jumping to the top of the list after his falling out with Nuggets coach Brian Shaw and ensuing two-game suspension. But Kings GM Pete D'Alessandro's true long-term target is said to be Warriors sharpshooter Klay Thompson, who will be a restricted free agent after next season. With the Lakers having cooled on the idea of a Gasol-for-Andrew Bynum swap, the Cavs are now exploring other ways to end their experiment with the 7-footer before his $12.25 million salary for this season becomes fully guaranteed on Tuesday.

I don't see it happening

 

[nelson999]

No way. we would have to give up way too much to get GS to let Thompson go

 

[lightweight champion]

I think it's take McLemore, Thomas, and a future 1st to get him.

 

[rck3sactown]

It would definitely be a high asking price if Klay was even available

 

[lightweight champion]

Bob Meyers is always looking to make that team better (which GM isn't?), and if he can do it for a solid backup PG to spell curry and a highly touted SG that (supposedly) can shoot plus a 1st I think he would take it. Not so much a fair return for us as we'd have to shell out a lot of dough to keep Thompson but like it was stated, it will take a load to get Thompson if he's even available. However, if it were to come to fruition I hope this would be our tarting lineup next year...

Andre Miller/Marcus Smart (if drafted)
Klay Thompson
Rudy Gay/Jabari Parker (if drafted)
Carl Landry
DeMarcus Cousins

 

[daprescription]

Never happen.

Gross. team looking like they just don't give a **** anymore. and chemistry right down the toilet, yay!

   So a few things: This Kings team chemistry is teetering badly. Factions are being formed in the locker room. Not a great situation.
   
   Carmichael Dave ‏@CarmichaelDave 18m
   
   I believe over the next few days/weeks, these infights will come out. Guys are frustrated with each other and it is spilling onto the floor.

Carmichael Dave ‏@CarmichaelDave 12m

Coach Malone is being tested pretty hard right now. He's holding these guys together with string and bubble gum. Things are bubbling

Carmichael Dave ‏@CarmichaelDave 11m

I firmly believe that this, along with obvious reasons, will lead to more moves by the front office. This roster has more changes coming.

Carmichael Dave ‏@CarmichaelDave 10m

There is one common denominator to most of the player on player confrontations. I'll leave it to you to guess who.

Carmichael Dave ‏@CarmichaelDave 8m

To be clear though, from a fan standpoint? I don't necessarily think these confrontations are ALL bad. Guys need to be accountable.

Carmichael Dave ‏@CarmichaelDave 7m

Bottom line: factions in locker room. Sniping and infighting. Guys are pissed. Moves inevitable.

 

[Fozz]

Yikes, I didn't think I'd see the Kings have so many issues with one another this year. 

 

[lightweight champion]

I kind of did I just hopes that I wouldn't.

 

[rck3sactown]

Who exactly is siding with who?

cuz tonight, it kinda looked like everyone hated everyone 

 

[nelson999]

To me it looks like Rudy and Cuz are pretty close with each-other. probably wanting to win and being the best players on the team they are forming a bond

who saw Thomas screaming at Acy and Williams on separate occasions after his man beat him?
