Send him to Sacramento.

This heart-lacking underachiever is actually dictating where he wants to go? Jesus.

Surprised he leaked anything, figured he would be too busy gaming.

Schroder 1 yr guaranteed + Mckinnie to Houston

Hield to Lakers

I fail to see how Gordon is a better impact player and asset to the Kings than Buddy. The asset valuation seems kinda far apart.

1 less year and you get additional forward depth. also probably better (not by much admittedly) defender. Hield also was crap the last few years

Is EG a forward? I know he’s been masquerading as one, but I see him as a 2. Heck he’s smaller than Buddy. House may be a 3, but I don’t value him highly.

I also don’t think Buddy has been “crap”. He’s a good player, just overpaid. His defense is still not very good, but it has improved (especially against SFs). Pretty much everything has improved except his 3pt shooting, which has stayed a bit stagnant. You can point to percentages and act like he’s taken a hit there, but the shot quality is high and he shoots on very high volume. That’s his role. I see Buddy as a $14-15 million player. EG is more like $8-9. Buddy’s contract decline and as we drop the years, his contract looks better and better. No need to send him out for a lesser player when the Kings aren’t winning. EG will make them worse.

If you squint, looks like he wants to come to a Carolina team.

Will look good in teal.

No idea specifically what Finley brings to the front office in terms of his skill set. But I know he's a super high quality guy and I'm thrilled to see him get additional opportunity within the organization. Cuban does a lot of things that really annoy me, but his loyalty to former Maverick players is something I love to see. And Finley has been putting in the work for years. I wonder if Mark could have gotten Dirk involved this off-season to the degree he has been without Finley's involvement. He was a terrific mentor and friend to young Dirk and Dirk's never forgotten.

The old "wait for everyone to run out of cap space and for the current team to take on huge cap obligations, then make an offer no one can match" routine.

What you’ve all been waiting for: Iggy news.
Looks like it’s down to the Nets, Warriors, and Lakers.

Would feel so weird to me if he didn’t go to GS.

Couldn't Bulls, Pellies and Hornets just work out a Ball-Graham-Lauri three-way?

I think we are and that's the hold up.

I just hope the Bulls aren't asking for the 1st we just got from NOLA and that Mitch Kupchak isn't dumb enough to give them that. But at the same time, it may very well be why we don't officially know the protections on the pick.

That goes to show you how much of a prick he is. Because literally that would be one of the two better trade options with the better packages for him. I hope GS doesn't want him. I hope they send his ass to Canada or Sacramento or Orlando or china **** this dude.

He is on a team that kinda trashed him a bit and have been openly trying to trade him since they lost to Atlanta. The mature thing for him to do is personally stay silent and have his agent operate in his best interest. That's literally the job of agents.

76ers are kind of shooting themselves in the foot at this point with Simmons, no? They want to win right now, but seems like the market is going to be a challenge.
