    Unbelievable!

    Morey is a master.

    How do you convert fluff into a #5 Lottery pick + a Fransisco Garcia + cap space + a pick.


    Unfugginbelievable!

    Why would SAC make this trade? Do they want a shooting pf like ppat to give more room for Cousins to operate?

    Basically clears room and PT for DMo, Jones, & RWhite while picking up a top 5 lottery pick in the process. All the guys we gave up have very limited upside.

    It's amazing to me that the Kings could give up on Robinson so early. He dominated in the tournament last year. Bigs take time to develop.

    Ppat and cousins were teammates. Maybe they thought a former teammate would help cousins with some stability.

    Best reason I have heard is that Cousins and PPat played together in college and are good friends.

    Amazing trade. I'm not sure what Sac is thinking. I'm a little bothered we only got a second round pick for Marcus, but I'll take it

    I don't know why you guys are excited about Thomas Robinson lol...i am from Sacramento and seen him play, he's garbage. Can't shoot, can't do anything from what i seen. He's been playing like garbage. So what if he's 5th pick....he's been garbage from what i seen.

    I guess Houston found Beverley, so it's okay to give up Douglas. Hopefully Robinson can become the player we envision him to be before the draft. I thought this dude can shoot, but he's been playing like garbage for the Kings. Maybe it has to do w/ the Kings being suck.

    I feel sorry for Patterson, Toney and Cole going to that garbage org.

    I guess they'll have new owners at some point, though.

    Man, the Marcus Morris pick was a total bust. Got very little out of him and then dealt him for a 2nd round pick? Waste of a 1st that year.
