Green takes less, little brother takes Splitter, Manu, Duncan will come back for peanuts. Aldridge makes them tops out west IMO.

Yeah and depending on how much the cap rises and what sort of discount Manu and Duncan allow, they might even be able to keep Mills and Joseph

I thought they were already the best team in the west tbh, they just happened to catch us at a time Chris Paul was not having another 1st round loss. Now this is just unfair.

The cap rising the extra $2 mil will likely mean they can keep Mills. Milutinov will get stashed overseas, meaning his cap hold disappears. All depends on how much Manu takes and what Duncan wants. Joseph is a RFA so they'll bring him back barring a big offer and Mills seems likely too.

holy ****, I like Stauskus.

Ida took him off your hands for free.
wtf?

nickhx2 · Post #2028 » by **nickhx2** » Thu Jul 2, 2015 5:13 am

somehow hinkie convinced them of an offseason kings plan that involved signing big name free agents. all they had to do was offload anchors onto the sixers and they'd be free.

hinkie is one diabolical dude.

Sam Hinkie wins again...

All people do is rip the guy. He kills every trade, Took on 2 years each of Jason Thompson and Carl Landry, stauskas, a 1st and rights to swap 1sts with kings in 2 other drafts for nothing.

Still, most of the lame stream and old media hate him. Chuck, Wilbon, Kornheiser, ect.

Love Hinkie

Well he is just doing what people used to criticise him for, using his dead capspace to absorb bad contracts in exchange for assets. I remember when Philly fans on this board used to get all defensive and say what sense does it make to get overpaid veterans and kill your flexibility for mid-1st picks. Well they're doing just that and everyone is loving it.

I was pissed when they didn't absorb Dudley for our 1st rounder, and instead of having raw capspace we had to stretch Delfino and Raduljica because of it. Now they're absorbing contracts like McGee, who makes 3 times that, for a similar price. God I hate GM Doc.

Well, thats just the Kings being the Kings... :crazy:

They are the new Nets, just giving away all their assets for free!

I thought they got rid of these type of trades and that the salaries had to match within a certain percentage?

Able to run a side pick and roll? When did Bullock ever handle the ball?

I'm not even sure what Bullock looks like much less what he can do on the floor.
/green.

my guess was he probably might be able to do that and we never saw.

West would be nice for the Wizards. If I'm them I'd prefer West starting at PF over Nene

I'd prefer him going there than the other 2 teams he was rumored to be considering.
