Leuer has looked better than Randolph and Gasol thus far. Brought a spark, as did Koufas.


I couldn't watch as much of the game as I wanted to out of anger, because we really looked horrible at times. Then they seemed to do better when I turned the channel and would continue breaking my heart when I watched. For the record I had watched the last few possessions and thought all was lost with .06 seconds left but something told me to keep watching. The rest is history.

I think Jason Thompson can play both PF/C which is the type of versatility we like so packaging Koufos/Pondexter might be acceptable to Sac town. As for Luer, that ship has almost sailed, if he is playing scared now, what would be the situation if he needs to replace ZBO for an extended period due to injury?

Gasol plays hard the 4th quarter and a few min of the 3rd, Zbo going to the hoop in the last qrt.... they have to do that since the 1st min, if not...well...we just saw what happend.

Great great great win, we have to enjoy this moment.... 8-1.

Btw i think there is a rule that allow a player to cach and shoot when the clock is 0.03 or more, if the clock is less than that you can only tip in the ball.

I'd give up prince's expiring and maybe a 2nd rounder. I really hope koufos isn't going anywhere, unless obviously in the unlikely event that some team offers up a player for him that's on a whole other level.

But i think sacramento is going to hold off trading anyone for quite a while, i think they're still figuring out which one of landry/thompson fits best next to cousins and they'll probably try out derrick williams at some point as well.

Koufos is really underrated. As an every night starter he doesn't add a great deal, but he's a fantastic backup. If he gets traded it better be a big upgrade.

Leuer will never be seen as anything more than a backup big here. If there aren't any injuries, then we can poach players in free agency or have a strong draft.

If there are, then I wouldn't target Jason Thompson - would rather have one of the four bigs on Utah - strong depth at PF/C there. Either Booker or Gobert are going to be very good.

Check out my thread on this forum LAC/MEM/CAVS and tell me what you think of that, I agree, Koufus is underated.
