Without the GOAT PG Halliburton?

Sabonis is no Randle - but he's doing OK in Sacramento.

Kings are definitely the team I'm rooting for out West.

They're a big, fast team. They really did a good job defensively on us, on the west coast trip. They use their size well. Like Boston, or the Craptors used to. First game this season where IQ looked "shook" from how they were keying in on him defensively.

I would love the kings to upset the warriors

I remember when not 1 Knick fan would touch D Fox with a 10 foot pole because he had poor shooting %s.

Sounds like RJ except RJ is a toad and Fox shot out of a nuclear war head.

Kings are set up just like the Knicks built around 2 stars (not superstars though). A PG and a big. Surrounded by perfectly fitting supporting cast, mostly younger talent. It’s a good group just like the Knicks set up for long term success. The pacers kings deal is one of those rare deals that really benefitted both teams.

Still feel like this will get back to game 7.

Warriors need Poole and Wiggins to come around.

The real question is which of us comes out on top in the finals.

I wanted to trade Randle for Fox at the deadline a few years back... then again I proposed about 5 Randle trade proposals that season...
We now have Brunson so that ship has rightfully sailed. And yes I was very hesitant on Brunson and thrilled to be wrong!

Kings seem to have excellent floor balance with Fox's speed/pace, Huerter and Monk's outside shooting, Sabonis's facilitating... only real weakness if Murray being a rookie/lack of experience and them not having an exceptionally high level talented player at this time. I suspect Warriors win game 3 in a blowout, win a tight game 4 and series goes the full 7. Anything less would really be a (welcomed) shocker.

I dunno why Atlanta gave up Huerter. There's not a lot of shooters who are also physical players and can mix it up on D. Bucks like to collect guys like that. Huerter was a great acquisition for the Kings and I think somoene Atlanta misses (I feel like they are kind of soft)....

When a 3 seed is up 2-0 on a 6th after two home games, and the 6th seed was 11-30 on the road, tell us how this is an “upset”?

Your not incorrect. I think the idea was Griffin would rise and with with Dejaunte Murray there was not a lot of minutes for him. They got a future 1st round pick along with Justin Holiday and Harkless.
It was a good trade for Sac.

ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reports the first-round pick headed to Atlanta is lottery-protected in 2024, top-12 in 2025 and top-10 in 2026.

ATL looked at it as they had an Allstar back court and excess asset to convey to another time.
Not sure Heurter was the answer in ATL but he sure looks better on SAC. Good for him!!!

Yeah, downside of trading for Dejounte Murray while also having Bogdan Bogdanovic on roster. Luxury tax too.

So I asked earlier in the season, I'll ask again:
Do you trade Randle for Sabonis straight up?

After you do that are you keeping Obi and trading Mitch? If so, probably not.
