I hope it happens for the expectations alone. 80-wins and 130 ppg would be realistic.

Warriors signing Durant would mean that we can get Barnes!

If he will choose us over around 10 different team offering him contract

That's another reason to rebuild! In 7-8 years when superstar Devin Booker will be in his prime as well as his sidekick Ben Simmons, Curry and Durant will be to old to stop the mighty Suns!

The Sacramento Kings canceled a T-shirt giveaway Monday night after some in the organization, including star DeMarcus Cousins, found the shirts to be racially insensitive.

The Kings had placed black shirts adorned with a purple monkey as part of their Lunar New Year celebration on seats at Monday night's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. The Chinese Year of the Monkey begins Feb. 8.

However, Monday also marked the first day of Black History Month, and players and coaches were wearing shirts in honor of the annual commemoration.

Cousins criticized the giveaway of Year of the Monkey T-shirts. Bucks TV analyst and former player Marques Johnson described the situation on Facebook.

"I walk into the building and DeMarcus Cousins calls me over to an animated discussion he's having with Kings operations people," he wrote. "He ask me, 'Olskool, what you think about this T Shirt? Told him a little insensitive on 1st day of Black History Month'. They pulled the shirts..."

Staff gathered all the shirts before fans arrived at Sleep Train Arena.

"We all need a lesson in sensitivity," Kings president Chris Granger said, according to the Sacramento Bee. "In an effort to celebrate Chinese New Year, we had some concerns about the T-shirt giveaway, so we pulled them all before the doors opened. Certainly we don't want to offend anybody, and we acted as soon as we heard the concern."

Johnson took to Twitter to applaud Cousins for speaking out.

(I'm on a phone, but look up Marques Johnson).

There is a leaguewide initiative this season for teams to commemorate the Chinese New Year, and the rest of the Kings' Lunar New Year celebration continued as scheduled, the Bee reported.

Cousins, who recently was named to his second All-Star Game, was out Monday night with a sprained left ankle.

What an oppressive shirt, I am pretty triggered.

Sarcasm aside, are we really this bothered by menial things? It is a shirt that is celebrating another culture's holiday, this seems unnecessary and silly.

Everybody who was saying that Cousins is an idiot was right.

So I'm watching the Miami and Houston game. Houstons announcers just said Dragic's first year in San Antonio was a full year on the bench with them. Ok.

So the Nets won tonight, we are only one game back of them now. We are likely going to end up with the third worst record at the end of the year.

Don't count out Old Man Kobe just yet. He wants to end his Farewell Tour with a bang and will do everything that is humanly possible to cement his legacy by getting the Fakers some dubs

Derek Fisher fired by the Knicks, Rambis is the interim head coach and there's already rumors that Luke Walton and Brian Shaw are top candidates for the head coaching position. Phil Jackson really loves his Lakers.

I really hope they hire Walton, and quick, just so we can't...
