You can't be a bad defender and be the best center in the league you just can't. Trade him to Boston, and you would get some role players and picks the Kings could really use.

What roleplayers tho? That's the thinking I don't get.

You have a legit top 3 big man albeit temperamental. But instead of trying everything you can to create a winning environment around him in a superstar driven league...you trade him for "good roleplayers" or a draft pick they gonna turn around and fukk up anyways.

Nobody wants Evan Turner, Jelly O and a conditional protected 1st round pick:francis:

The reality is they won't be trading Boogie, they will fire Karl and get another terrible fit for a coach next year. I honestly wish they could just get Calipari at this point, it's a young team that I know he could get through to. I fukkinn knew Karl would be a terrible hire, he's a overrated relic from the 90s. It's a superstar league so let's trying to win a title with 12 average ass glue guys:troll:

I would have resigned if i was Karl after Divac basically said your powerless when the star player curses you out in the lockerroom...You cant coach the team again after that happens cuz nobody respects you or your authority...Its mostly Divac's fault but Karl should recognize its now unworkable cuz the GM is enabling DMC to do things like that....

Vlade lacks any leadership and its clearly showing in some really bad decision making...

You cant be asking the team whether or not to fire the coach after you submarine him...smh.

IMO Vlade is the entire issue right now...

Phoenix should make an offer if they haven't already. Cousins and Bledsoe are good friends and still hang out in the offseason(both being from Alabama and teammates in Kentucky).

A potential Suns deal can include Brandon Knight, Alex Len, Markieff, Miami's 2021 pick(unprotected), Miami's 2017 pick (protected top 7 in 2017-18, unprotected in 2019), and a Suns pick(unprotected) of their choice. Suns take Cousins and anyone else the Kings choose for salary filler.

People really think Karl is more valuable than Cousins? :mjlol:

Best big man in the league and people in here want to trade him for scraps and draft picks. That's that Espn late night analyst talk that those failed GM's and bum role players love to throw out there.

Karl has never met a star player he liked. He's a system coach who wants all the glory. The man just used the same starting line up in back to back games for the first time this season and Cousins is the problem?

You can't be a bad defender and be the best center in the league you just can't. Trade him to Boston, and you would get some role players and picks the Kings could really use.

So Shaq wasn't the best center in the league? He admitted he wasn't a good defender.

Shaq was a lazy defender and still averaged more than 2 blocks a game his entire career, fukk he had years he was averaging 3. Boogie barely averages 1 block and is a defensive liability furthermore he's not nearly as efficient as a guy his size and position should be, which is why the only teams that would be interested would be teams with defenses good enough to absorb his weaknesses.

Malcolm Gladwell kinda schooled me a few weeks back on Simmons podcast.

Put yourself in his shoes. Before you really had a handle on the league.

We all think we could do better than him in his shoes in his circumstance.


He didn't know shyt about the modern day NBA. Bought a team that was trying to move. And inherited a head case. He never trusted the people he hired.

He's a legit rookie in this game.

There isn't much of a learning curve for a new owner especially those with no experience.

He's made awful decisions. God awful. And in the end he will pay for them. I actually hope he doesn't sell and learns from his mistakes.

I don't think he moves Boogie out of fear of what it makes him look like to the public.

He bought a team for less than a billion, that will be worth a billion within 15 years.
