And as outspoken as ever.

The Kings are motivated to acquire a point guard this summer. After experimenting with Malik Monk at point guard down the stretch of the season, the organization recognizes the need for a true floor general as the team looks to reconfigure its roster after trading Fox.

“It’s no secret that we need a true point guard with this current mixture of talent on the roster,” Perry said on a recent podcast.


Absolute perfection. Comedic timing through and through. Poor Kings fans.

So Windy followed up his statement about Giannis not wanting out of Milwaukee by selling Knicks fans on the belief that having KAT is better than trading for Giannis.

"He is an in his prime, all NBA player than contributed significantly to the Knicks...." What a spin!

Going to be funny to watch the reverse spin if KAT is traded for KD.

James Capers, Tony Brothers and Tyler Ford officiating critical game 3. Capers is good but the other 2 don't belong anywhere near the finals.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

Maybe they just need to be a little more patient on Udoka.

To be fair to everybody, though, I think everybody already does know that.

I'd say it's baffling at how quickly the Knicks seemingly want to go right back to being a poverty franchise, but then I remember who's still making the decisions over there. The success they've had the last 2-3 years almost made me forget that Dolan still owns that team.

I’d give up a second round pick if they took him.

Oh.

Former Sacramento Kings All-Star and assistant general manager Peja Stojakovic believes that the Kings could have gotten a better package for point guard De'Aaron Fox if they were able to shop the 2023 All-NBA third-team member around the league.

Stojakovic claims the Kings were unable to get the best deal for De'Aaron because Fox's manager, Klutch Sports founder Rich Paul, coerced the Kings to surrender Fox to the Spurs while also making sure that his other client, Zach LaVine would end up taking Fox's spot in Sacramento.

"I still believe Sacramento has good players despite them trading Fox," Peja said confidently.

"It seems there was a directive from his agent, Rich Paul, who played a key role and blackmailed the teams on which player was supposed to get traded where. He brought Fox to the Spurs and Zach LaVine who is his player, brought him to Sacramento. By doing this, he limited Sacramento from a business standpoint, stating that they get a bit more from this trade with Fox if they had the same discussion with some other teams in the NBA," Stojakovic detailed behind-the-scene events around this trade.

I have always gotten a kick out of what the league deems as their best officials. Are the most shady officials.


Our list of the top 5 shadiest officials. Is the exact same list as the league's list of their top 5 officials.

This is great. The more they keep asking other teams and not us should tell our owners something.

Knicks have always been poverty, they’re the Mets with Yankee hype.

Bucks & Rockets both have the same amount of rings and we have way better ATG stars, they prop Sprewell bum ass up as a legend lmao
Bucks tricked me into being a diehard in 2001, LeBron is the 2nd best player ever, and pizza is awesome.

Return to Milwaukee Bucks
