Dre DOMINATED by Lance Jr tonight show's how meaningless Dre's size really is in the matchup.

Blakes putting up stats but the team is losing by 20. Hes not elevating any of the other players on our team our even keeping the team in the game. Even the last two games when we needed him to score at the end he didnt show up. Hopefully he keeps putting up stats and the kings offer something decent for him.

Drummonds career year this season was due to us running the offense through him. Hes not going to stay focused with the offense running through Blake. Their skill sets overlap u cant have all your money invested in these two guys and expect to win.

I'd rather watch the 2012 pistons than this catastrophe

This wouldnt be so bad if we had a fkn loterry pick to look forward too at the end of the year. Thats like the one thing a bad team has to give u some hope.

Also play fkn Kennard. Were not making the playoffs at least work on the kids game.

No playoffs and no lottery pick is pure misery... and no hope for FA signings due to having no cap space.... and we're not even developing the young guys. This is worse than being a Brooklyn fan the past few years.

The trade turned us into the first half of this season clippers without their guards/wings and - a first round pick. So stupid.Why the fck would SVG want to become that?

Why would the Kings do that? Does he fit their roster or timeline?

It was dumb in hindsight. Kings had ostensibly building pieces they wanted to build around (Cousins/Gay), no bench, Sixers had market on space etc... Even if Divac isn’t a good GM, there was legit reasoning for that

So I’m guessing there would have to be legit reasons for Blake’s fit

Honestly don't think we should bring Reggie back for the last 3 weeks of the season.
Just let him fully recover

In the modern era, you aren't even supposed to devote all your resources into the frontcourt. It's all about PG play and perimeter oriented, neither which we have devoted at all in the last 7 years. No wonder we're so behind.

Agreed 100%

Look at how good the pacers are with Oladipo breaking out this season. If we could of added a great wing or pg to this team we would of became a pretty good team. Another front court guy wasnt going to do it for us.

Our next game will be against the Raps who will be on a B2B and its in Detroit so those are the conditions for this team to win a game in the post Blake trade era.

I just hate that from the outside, Blake is looking like "the problem". He's not. We had lost like 8 in a row the day we dealt for him. This roster sucks and sucks even badly with a horrible coach.
