I just turned on the game and the first thing I saw was a high pick n roll with chandler and james. Ball went to chandler. Defense collapsed. Chandler kicked it back. We scored an easy 8 footer.

Imagine that. Screens n stuff

he wasn't ready. Being with Fenerbahce was super important for his development. Got to run the team with a good system


still would prefer having waited for him and not have gotten Chriss.

I love our energy and movement on both ends of the court. The first 3 games, we just looked lethargic, uninterested and unmotivated.

same, but that's not on him. McD should not have traded him to move up, Bogdan was almost guaranteed to be coming over this year.

its all money I think... something like doubling the amount if he comes in older right?

But if I was his agent I would advice the same thing.... and he was developing in Europe.


I still like him, maybe trade for Bledsoe? lol

Imagine if you said Mike James would be our permanent starter based on form a week ago.

Would like to see more minutes for Jackson in the 2nd half, stick him on Bogdan and tell him to shut him down.

Damn, Dejounte Murray with 16 pts, 15 rebounds and 6 assists. I almost took him every round in the dynasty draft...almost took him over Frank, then over Skal, then decided I couldn't have too many young guys.

But finally I had to pick him up after the draft and drop a vet. I thought FOR SURE Kerrsed would take him in the 2nd or 3rd round.

I sort of think the Beldsoe drama helped along with the firing of Watson. Team looks to be united and trusting of each other. Like they were offended by it.

Not a bad half. They were hitting shots that we want them to take in that 2nd quarter and we averaged out a bit after shooting amazing in the 1st quarter. I'll take De'Aaron Fox mid-range shots and Skal Labissiere squaring up and taking contested shots all night

Really like our rotations so far. We could use a bit more JJ and Bender (although he picked up 2 fouls), but they've been better than what we saw with Watson so far. Really hoping we follow up a solid first half with a good second half.

Yup,

Popovic turning him into a stud.

He had the size and athleticism but lacked the knowledge, but he's being used correctly now with Popovic teaching him...

Spurs look good with him.

He is not on a rookie contract anymore. He is making $ 9.5 M without having played a single min in the NBA. It was a risk the Kings took.

I don't blame McD on that one.
