Blowing our wad on Landry is just dumb. And I'm baffled that so many people are ok with how much we signed him for yet those same people talk like they wanna jump off a bridge over the Thompson signing. They make about the same I think Thompson makes less right? And Thompson is more valueable IMO. He is a better rebounder and can play center. We already have a Landry in Patterson. I know the offseason isn't done but I'm not that impressed so far.
making moves just to make moves is what i don't like. we have one player who we should not have blown money on is chuck hayes. now we are duplicating it with landry. 4 freaking years? damn, talk about wasting capspace. dude is way undersized and does only 2 things well. defend & pass. if he isn't doing either, he is a liability on the floor.
i hope they don't get rid of JT because that will leave us undersized if cousins gets injured or foul trouble.
how many of you would love to see a line up of
chuck C
landry PF
? SF
mac SG
IT or VAS PG
I sure as hell don't. that's a recipe for getting a nice spanking each and every night. that type of line up screams lottery or middle of the pack mediocrity. with that line up, landry at 6'7 would be the tallest of the bunch.
if anybody watched the finals, spurs dropped the ball by putting their big man (duncan) on the bench and could not gain the rebound to finish off the heat. we all know how that turned out. nobody on the spurs could d up and grab the board.
pete is really pissing me off with these moves because malone has been preaching D. who the heck did we bring in so far? vasq (zero d) & landry (lots of heart but no size)
You have to remember though, JT doesn't play like a PF/C. That's probably why his first coach saw him getting minutes at SF. He doesn't play to his height and if anything JT's interesting twist coming out were his quickness for his size and his shooting. Both things have been severely underused and underdeveloped as time has gone on. He's gotten stronger since his rookie year but even so, he's just OK at holding position at PF now. JT reminds me a AC Green more and more as time goes on. AC was a little stronger and maybe a better defender though.
I'd say that the Kings are losing rebounding with Hayes and Landry but JT didn't exactly rule the boards last year either. It all comes down to defense, you can't rule the boards unless you get stops.

your gonna actually compare these players under sh**** coaches? musselhead, theuss, natt, westfail, smart. i hardly think any of those are competent coaches. hayes on the other hand have been under the tutelage of *gasp*, our former kings head coach -- rick adelman. winningest coach in sac history. is there any correlation there why he *knows* how to play the right way?? oh and why didn't hayes make an impact during his tenure here since he sets so great screens under westfail or smart? really rest my case there.
players play the way the head coach wants otherwise they get jerked from position to position, benched for no good reason, dnp's n what not.

And if Malone doesn't work out there's always Don Nelson.
