Yeah I'm not expecting anything special for Jones. But the team did just lose 2 SGs so they need someone that can hit open 3s when teams are trying to deal with AD & Cousins simultaneously.
That's my hope. He just looked miserable as playing in Sacramento. Maybe he's just a miserable person. We'll see.Yep..there's a pretty decent chance that it won't work, but it's a no-brainer..they're a non-playoff team that didn't give up a single high-level asset
I believe Cousins has some real mental issues, but he wouldn't be the first guy to turn his career around in a different environment..it's very possible that he could become Z-Bo..
Winning does a lot to cureI don't see Cousins changing his ways. Thein SAC will become the
Whether the Pels can build a winning environment around him, now that's the question.
It gotta be about making Kings so bad, that the franchise will move. It`s not even "The process vol 2" or tank.
Yep SD that Randle hasn't shown more he, Clarkson and Nance Jr should be leating Russ and Ingram who are babies ...League execs thought Buddy Hield has a higher ceiling than Julius Randle.
Lakers young talent
While it's likely, it's not always like that... remember 2011 1st vs. 8 matchup? Buttery motion offense vs. force feed the post with mediocre guard play... which one won?
It definitely has the potential of being a good series due to the monstrous advantage they'd have inside but there's a few differences between 2011 and this year. The Pelicans roster, outside of Davis and Cousins, is straight garbage and I can't trust anybody on that team to take big shots in the playoffs. The Grizzlies atleast had Conley, Allen, and Battier to compliment their frontcourt. The Pelicans have nobody else.
Also, Randolph was the best player on the court at all times and SA's offense struggled when the game slowed down. The Warriors atleast have Curry, Durant, and Thompson with nobody to slow them down at all on defense.
Agreed. They had the best home court advantage in the league IMO back when they had Peja, Webber, Williams.. They've got some very passionate fans, it's a damn shame management has no vision of where they want to take their team building process.

I ing knew it, it`s about moving Kings from Sacramento. That`s the process
That 2011 Spurs team was a tier than usual 1 seed. The Warriors aren't giving major minutes to players like Bonner Blair and Gary Neal.
LOL. Twin Towers do not win in this league anymore.
This is nothing more than a big-guy version of Maurbury and Francis- some decent stats on bad teams and no balls or winning ability whatsoever. This isn't going to work and new Orleans has such a ty roster aside from two bigs that produce nice stats, but haven't done anything in the league aside from an ugly unibrow, an over inflated ASG MVP and lots of bad press.
Kings are horrible. They could have traded cousins for much more earlier. They didn't.
They could have stuck with cousins and actually built a decent team. They didn't.
They could've kept Malone who actually worked well with cousins. They fired him because of that idiot of an owner.
They then lied about not looking to trade.
Then again the agent about cousins be their future.
On top of that, they just yielded to the Sacramento bee.
Finally they pulled a trade that is so bad a video game engine wouldn't do it.

RAnadive is horrible. He's like a re ed version of mark Cuban.
First time in my life I have stopped following a team that has not been relocated.
Looks like I will be following the Pelicans and then whatever team Cousins decides to sign with in free agency.
I didn't think ownership could get worse after the Maloofs but I was wrong. you Vivek, I look forward to watching your team continue to fail as you try and replicate the Warriors.
Yeah, I'm not dissing the value of the trade, which was a steal, tbh... Pels basically had to pull the trigger when an owner decided to gang-rape himself...
I'm just reading all this stuff on how these guys are supposed to be insta-contenders now, and the Dubs should be worried... I can completely see this not working out due to egos, lack of experience, bad coaching, poor surrounding cast, etc.
Boogie especially will have to adapt to the fact that his coach-killing ways might now not be taken as lightly as they did in Sacto.
Lakers
thats what you ing get for being trolls... don't ing play it off and say glad he didn't come LOL gtfotta here
Definitely a high risk / high reward trade. I think the main risk being that he screws up the team or at the least, doesn't put them among the top teams in the West next year. Still gotta add some other pieces though.
It's not high risk, at all
They were an irrelevant team, what did they have to lose? Buddy Hield?
Yeah...it is high risk if he makes it so bad that AD is unhappy. They're going to have to make a decision to re-sign him (Cousins) for a load of money. If this doesn't work, it could the team for years.It's not high risk, at all
They were an irrelevant team, what did they have to lose? Buddy Hield?
It was a no brainer though.
I feel bad for kings fans.... I think this is the first step to move the team to another city.
As we saw last year though... the buttery stuff, particularly with the Splash Bros. can really struggle when an opponent makes a concerted effort to keep everything slow, halfcourt, and play physical defense.
We started off a gaudy 46-9 but then the injuries hit big time, finished the season a ty 15-12 for a combined 61-21 and Manu broke his arm. It was an all time great Spurs team prior to that, though.
I was awfully close to protesting the result of that series and intentionally bombing the TAKS test I had to take the morning after we got eliminated that year, tbh.
They have 1,5 season to try to figure it out. Davis is stuck with them, Boogie kinda too, cause if he don`t sign extension with Pels, he`ll be down 70 mil on his next deal. That`s a lot of pressure for sure, a lot of things can go wrong there. I don`t think Gentry is the coach that`s gonna get this together, no one available really comes to mind that could make this work.
I don`t think Kings fans, all two of them that left after this, will gonna live if somehow Pels missed playoff, and their pick will be TOP 3, and fels back to Pels
