6. LAC is NOT shopping Blake Griffin, but they are listening. There is a major difference. Same with Sacramento and Rudy Gay.

SacKingZZZ wrote:Haha, the Kings won't be trading Rudy for freaking Rozier. The C's just signed a few more cap stuffers, I'd say any Griffin dreams can probably end now.

Last I heard Zeller has only agreed, not signed. Brown is yet to sign as well. Griffin to BOS is still alive.

Meaningless as Summer League may be, he was one of the best overall players this summer, leading all regular contributors in PER at 36.7. The thing I like most ab out Rozier is that he is tenacious defensively. He likes to get right up in his man's face and control their movement. You can tell that he learned a lot by practicing with Avery Bradley and Marcus Smart every day.
I think Rozier could certainly make a good backup PG. He might even make a good starter someday. Even if he doesn't hit starter level full time, he's somebody that can fill in for Collison at the very least. He's only 22, and he still has 3 years left on a really cheap rookie contract. He would be a solid get for the Kings.
I think a deal for like Rozier, Jerebko, and a 2nd round pick or one of Boston's rookies would be a nice haul for Rudy.

I didn't mean for it to come off as if I'm sold on what any team is doing from media reports. Just noting Smitty had pointed out that the trade was still possible despite the news on Zeller and Green.

I've heard they made offers on a bunch of guys and didn't land any of them. They like Temple a lot, but not sure if he's a true PG.
And the Gay situation sounds like it is bad and ready to jump to really bad at any moment. Everyone I have talked to agrees he will not be a King at the beginning of the season.
So, it isn't exactly giving up much to fill a need by moving a guy who doesn't want to be there.
That is the idea at least. FWIW, I don't think any trades are going down anywhere. That is always the far more likely option. Trades are hard to pull off. That said, the Celtics are making moves like something is happening.

Right now any team trading for Boog is having to give up 2 young good players and a pick or solid vet to get him. Unless you are in position to contend after that trade it may not even be worth it. Which is why a lot of teams haven't made a huge play for him.

I'm on record 42 wins this year and Boogie is a kings lifer.

I posted in our last trade thread roughly 2 weeks ago or a bit longer than that of our interest in Rozier and talks of a 3 team deal involving
Boston so this is not really news to me . Seems odd to me you post Info along the same lines as me and some are believing you maybe because your a Mod I don't know ? I post the info way before you did and some others don't believe or start drama .
Anyways I believe you because I have inside info with the Kings for the past 3 seasons and though my info is slightly different than yours my info is very simular . So we both having sources might be getting the same general info but one may be getting slightly different info as well .
I am glad that you are confirming what I have been saying for awhile now however both Kings and Celtics are & have been talking with a # of other teams as well . More so Celtics than Kings .

Durant just left OKC after being 1 win away from the Finals but Boogie is signing on for life if he gets 1 win above .500 out of 7 years in Sacramento?
