Ok...wow what a steal for Sac! Essentially cash and a future 2nd rounder for a guy who could have started for the Kings next year and was said to be the most influential voice in the locker room.
Why trade Temple in the first place? Is the point to give Justin Jackson more minutes? Were they that floored by him in summer league? The move more than anything was a courtesy to Temple which shouldn't excite any kings fan.
Him potentially starting is the main reason I'm OK with this deal. It gives Dave Joerger one less option to fall back on and continue the snails pace to improvement. Any of the veterans being a part of of the rotation next year is a ridiculous notion with where the Kings are at currently.
Say what? The tweet was james ham and was reposted on Grant's twitter. Grant had nothing but amazing things to say about Temple and how the team will miss him. not sure what you are talking about.Sactowndog wrote:RipPizzaGuy wrote:Just got excited reading Grant's twitter.

Grant bags on every player who leaves. He is hardly a credible source.

Grant spent his whole show reiterating how losing Temple would have no impact on the Kings.

Because hes right? It won't impact us. We are talking about Garrett Temple FFS, get a grip man. This isn't us losing Demarcus Cousins, its Garrett Temple. A journey man, 32 year old with a 10per and a -1.9BPM.
Give me a break as if this is the sky falling down or some ****. This means more minutes for Bogdan and Buddy. 2 guys who should be getting 35mpg but because Temple was soaking up 25 himself, they didn't get the minutes they deserved. I'm stoked as this is just 1 less veteran for Joerger to put in front of them.
Shumpert is literally the exact same player just 4 years younger and more athletic.
Grant loves high character guys like Temple. "GT wasn't going to play much this season. Kings did him a favor. He will help Memphis. Kings did not get better today but they did not get worse either...IMO"
Now when we traded Cousins you could tell he was happy. Grant hated Cousins.

No one is saying the sky is falling so stop the hyperbole. It is important we show the team is turning the corner. We have a clear hole at both the 3 and back up point. Temple could help fill the gap.

He doesn't make his teammates better on the court, nor does he improve our team. I love Temple as a good locker room guy, but playing him any minutes just confuses the situation even further.

Spot on. He will be missed in the locker room for sure. On the court anything he can do Shump can. I think a lot are sleeping on Shump and perhaps he will play a bigger role than we think.
It would be great for us if he rehabs his value prior to the deadline.
On the Bjelica thing I’m not sure. The Bagley at 3 thing is kind of getting a bit too real with all do these bigs. We need to move like 3 of them and the market for bigs is super, super quiet. Look at the big men that are still in FA and can’t even get a contract offer and we have Kosta and Randolph earning big money. We might be stuck with them unless it’s a trade where a team wants to dump a player.
So that means bye, bye WCS and Skal.
I still haven’t given up hope Vlade is looking for one of the 3s with a big contract, Porter or Wiggins. Get them expirings and get our lineup more balanced.

I'm guessing they don't mind having 6 bigs on the roster.
1. Koufos/Randolph have no value, let them expire we don't need the cap space anyways. 2. Giles is a major injury risk. 3. Deyonta Davis probably gets cut. Then I would guess we move off of WCS or Skal if we sign Bjelly.
WCS/Giles/Koufos
Bagley/Bjelly/Randolph

Yeah I can totally see that. I think with Randolph and Kosta you have 2 vets that won’t cause trouble in the locker room not getting minutes.
I’m coming around on the Bjelica signing and actually like it. Will be interesting overall if he sees more minutes at the 3 or 4.
I would like to see us give Davis a shot tbh and have a C rotation
WCS/Giles/Kosta/Davis (Stockton)
Bagley/Bjelica/Randolph/Skal
Out of that I would just roll the dice and trade the 2 vets. That is of course not knowing what they are like at practise and how much they get involved in teaching the young guys. Still so many moves to be made, but I’m liking it so far, it’s not ideal, but give it time.
