Reggie Evans???

Or Tyreke Evans????

Neither is a pg tho

And one of them isn't on the team anymore

Reggie Evans does have elite ball handling skills though

I know theres rumblings about Bron heading to Clippers or Lakers but seriously could Bron hold up playing the west night in and night out against 10 very good west teams?

 

[laokratwr]

knicks are the best team on rolling paper 

 

[beh235]

Is it Saturday yet?

 

[flyerthandelta]

I feel bad for whoever the Kings draft, they dont develop well, something goes off the wall with they careers and bad attitudes Cousins rubbing it off them as well

Rck i see you lurkin

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

 

Rck i see you lurkin

A lot of it probably had to do with their terrible ownership situation, which does tend to leak down to management (see Knicks, New York)

 

[rck3sactown]

Evans kinda always was what he was.

Cousins has developed fine.

Jimmer was just a player that we should have never picked |I but at least Isaiah Thomas has been pretty dope.

Throb, the Maloofs gave away for a quick cash grab before selling the team.

I don't understand how you can come to your conclusion after not even a full off season with this new ownership, front office, and coaching staff.

Pls fill me in

 

[CP1708]

Can someone that follows the Kings tell me why they aren't any good?

I mean, they have Chris Webber, Cousins, Peja, Mitch Richmond, and J-Will, with Bibby, Hedo and Gerald Wallace off the bench.

Why do they only have 28 wins? I don't get it.

I only asked because of how weak the Eastern Conf is

Have no idea what this was supposed to be getting at

That has nothing to do with it.

 

[CP1708]

Can someone explain to me that follows the kings closely why they are so bad? I mean they have a decent pg and center in Evans and cousins , shouldn't that be enough for a .500 team ?

Will be disappointed if suns don't make playoffs they've had a hell of a year

[h3]Damian Lillard Signs 3rd Richest Shoe Deal In NBA[/h3]


http://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/232915/Damian-Lillard-Signs-3rd-Richest-Shoe-Deal-In-NBA


?????

This confuses me? Lillard a good player, but is he going to move shoes?

He'll move shoes for sure. All star caliber PG that stays on the floor and probably most important, he plays on a winner which allows him to be on National TV a lot, allows them to be more liberal in the spots they run for him, etc. They had to pay him because if they didn't i'm sure they would have lost him to Nike. This also doesn't happen if rose is still on the floor obviously.

Stop it, ain't nobody going to be checking for no Adidas Lillards, much less the terrible job Adidas marketing does for it's stars. Rremember when they had 1 shoe and just made all their athletes share it (Duncan, KG, Billups, Tmac, Dwight, etc.), or when they had Dwight in the finals and didn't even have any commercials for him at the time? Certainly won't move enough units to justify being the 3rd richest shoe contract in the NBA, can't imagine he'll outsell LeBron's, KD's, Kobe's, Rose's at the least, and then you have like the Hyper Rev's, Zoom Crusader's, Jordan 28/29's, not directly attributed to one player but endorsed as such. Adidas just be giving away money

 

[do work son]

i mean, adidas is already raking in money with them having the rights to the jerseys and official apparel. why not?

 

[beh235]

Shhhhh...Kanye is going to save Adidas 

. They really need Rose to come back, he's their main athlete to sell shoes and he's been gone for two seasons. 

I really hope Adidas if finished what that apparel contract soon though. 

 

[antidope]

I want some exact numbers. I just dont see how you throw big time money at Damian Lillard.

Agreed I haven't even seen anybody in a Damian Lillard Jersey. Granted I live in the DC area, but if you give someone the third highest shoe deal they should have some kind of Nation wide appeal.

 

[herbshuttles15]

Adidas basketball & football is trash overall, their casual, soccer, and running is stuff is great.

 

[jjs07]

Out in astoria on saturday, and I was more shocked actually seeing someone casually rocking a sleeved jersey (Shump) than I was when I saw a chromed-wrapped Lambo when I was pumping gas.

 

[imsneakerpimp]

Lillard would move shoes...but that would only be with Nike and even then it'd be minimal unless it was super dope.

Nobody's moving ball shoes with Adidas but Rose and it's like 1/5 of what KD does and 1/10th of Lebron.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Dame went from a 2 star prospect to a major endorsement deal.

I'm not even mad at the young man.
