and we aren't ready for that yet. If we get a couple years of development for our young guys, and then we are a piece away, you do that deal. You can't smoke a great brisket without some time!Superbone wrote:We don't need Butler when we have Booker. Maybe Paul George if we were to go for a star.

I think if they decide to move George they get a better deal. For starters, they wouldn't include their pick for the privilege of paying Knight and then TJ in a year.That's why you take the guy you want instead of worrying about where another team thinks that guy should go.Split T wrote:I remember being interested in Giannis, but I never would have picked him 5th.

He is playing a lot better. Shooting went up about 10%, he is fouling less, and his turnovers are only up a little despite having the ball a lot more.Marty [Mori Chu] wrote:This may have already been answered earlier in the thread, but: What's the current scouting report on Hield and the post-trade Kings? Is Hield playing well for them? Does the team seem rejuvenated by the removal of the dark cloud of Boogie, or do they stink just as much as ever?
True, but I had no idea Giannis was going to be as good as he turned out to be. He was a mystery. I saw one video of him playing what looked like pickup ball, I was just intrigued by the size and rumored athletic ability + skills. I also was interested in Bruno Cabocolo, good thing we didn't take him instead of Warren.O_Gardino wrote:That's why you take the guy you want instead of worrying about where another team thinks that guy should go.Split T wrote:I remember being interested in Giannis, but I never would have picked him 5th.

Thanks for this. Since I don't watch the games in real time I rarely click into the game day threads. Caught up to this one though and rightfully it was a disaster. I know that we are tanking and I've been on board with that all year long, but at the same time I do wish that the young guys show development. That we are still so awful on defense really bothers me. I hope a good summer and training camp can get the young guys ready.Superbone wrote: You think we've got it bad? This will be the Kings 11th straight season without making the playoffs. We should see lots of Bender in this one. Just for Pickle, this is THE END of the season for our Suns. I'm already looking forward to the draft and next season. The young guys have been a lot of fun to watch
