Kings GM is on the radio right now, he says he isn't done dealing yet 

 

but thats sort of stating the obvious 

Jason Thompson is next.

can't say im sad about it. dude has never figured out how to slow the hell down when he gets the ball. always out of control. always crying

Like it was said, adding Rudy is just going to encourage bad habits and increase frustration. You don't want that for young players. And you definitely don't want that with Demarcus Cousins.

:Lol at rudy is gonna encourage bad habits based off of his short stint in toronto, dwayne casey is just a terrible coach, rudy is finally back to playing with a big man that can get his own shot

Meshing Demarcus Cousins and Rudy Gay together is probably one of the biggest questions about this trade. Just because Cousins does his work in the post and Rudy in the mid-range (or wherever he feels like launching) doesn't mean they'll fit together.

@rck we know JT is probably on his way out at least. Who knows what they can get for him though.

I'm gonna assume Marcus Thornton and/or Jimmer are thrown into a Jason Thompson trade as well.

maybe Asik? but if Houston wasnt a first round draft pick for him, not going to happen.

it can't happen because the dumb *** Maloofs sent that conditional 1st to Cleveland for JJ Hickson, so we can't trade any first round picks even if we wanted to

solid point.  luckily that pick is protected so that if its in the top 12 we get to keep it.

Not sure if that helps matters much

IMO They should probably try for a pass first point guard who has the chance to make sense of this lineup. You know, a Greivis Vasquez type.

You are saying there is no way John Salmons is worse than Gay????   oh man, Toronto is in for a BIG surprise.

i hope they enjoy watching John Salmons dribbling the shot clock away only to turn the ball over or brick a mid range jumper (Shooting 35% this season)
-Patterson being a PF that just stands on the 3pt line and chucks 3s and makes like 1 out of 8.
-Vasquez getting burned by absolutely every player he tries to defend, thus breaking down the entire defense
-Chuck Hayes being the most out of shape player in the NBA, not even grabbing rebounds that bounce right at his face......

No man, I'm saying there's no way the kings are worse with gay. Haha

 

[urbetterthenme]

So NT the question is now if Salmon is worst than a Gay?)

trippin

Kawhi Leonard is better than Rudy Gay

I aint mad at ya Stack Jack, keep getting dem checks.

 

[pepperjackchees]

 
High usage=poor shooting Rudy

What are the units for usage rate? Percentage of: possessions? shots? time holding the ball?

 

[Arthur Shelby]

Kawhi Leonard is better than Rudy Gay

Who said he wasn't

 

[sea manup]

 

 
High usage=poor shooting Rudy

What are the units for usage rate? Percentage of: possessions? shots? time holding the ball?

Usage Rate - the number of possessions a player uses per 40 minutes. Usage Rate = {[FGA + (FT Att. x 0.44) + (Ast x 0.33) + TO] x 40 x League Pace} divided by (Minutes x Team Pace)

so its pretty much measures how many of the teams possessions end up in the player getting a stat of any kind

my guess is that if a player sets a moving screen and gets called for it that TO will count towards his usage rate even though he never touched the ball, same with hack a shaq freethrows and tech free throws

You're a lame

Who said he wasn't

People crossed his name off of the list of SFs better than Gay two pages back, which is ridiculous.

Haha yes i totally agree about pass-first PG. but Vasquez is not that guy. his god awful defense just destroys the entire team. opposing PGs were able to get wherever they wanted whenever they wanted against him

No man, I'm saying there's no way the kings are worse with gay. Haha

Haha, aight i gotya

 

[JD617]

Anyone who thinks Rudy is better than Kawhi is just clueless.

when did this happen? lol

I can see why the Nuggets want to trade Faried.. he doesn't have many skills outside of running the floor and dunking. And he isn't a great defender

He just doesn't fit what Shaw wants him to do at all
