How long do you think that it will be until Cousins starts punching D-Will and Gay for taking stupid shots?

Ha, great minds think alike, Markkbu. Cousins looks unhappy every time down the court that he doesn't touch the ball. This could get interesting!

:idea: ...i agree.......Cousins has played pretty good this year. It is very hard to tell what Sac is trying to do with the trades for D-Will and Gay. Making an inefficient offense even more inefficient, is a weird way to try to win.

Cousins has seemed pretty level headed this year (relatively speaking).....it might go down hill quick for him.

If thats the kings thinking then they ae in big trouble. As others mentioned, they already have cousins who wants the ball every time. Gay isnt much of a playmaker and dw sure isnt. They lost vasquez who is their best playmaker and thomas is more of a shoot first pg.
They have gunners like mclemore and thornton on the team. They may have chemistry issues in sharing the ball.

Defensively, They are better off playing Williams at pf and gay as sf. Gay has played sf his whole career. while williams is a pf trying to play sf at the nba level. That comment dont make sense.

I see similarities of a young Zach Randolph early in his career for Boogie, he's gonna be putting up stats but wont get shit done for a long time to come. I dont see him succeeding unless he gets traded to the right situation like Randolph did when he got shipped to Memphis, don't think the kings are that or will be that for a long time to come.

Rudy Gay is perfect for the Kings. Not necessarily in a good way.

He is a dysfunctional player now playing for a dysfunctional team. A me-first guy playing with a bunch of other me-first guys. You'll see several versions of this same commentary in the next couple of days.

"Only the Kings..." could think this could work.


[Note: To be fair, forcing Gay to use his post-up game instead of giving him more opportunities to dribble for 8 seconds before shooting a contested 21 footer... is a very good thing. His post game isn't bad. His perimeter game is not good.]

:lol: :lol: .....it is funny that you might be right on this Abe. sort like 2 wrongs making a right.

Sacramento Kings are crazy, Thomas-McLemore-DW-Gay-DCuz .. you can win with this squad maybe in NBA 2K14

Who's gonna pass the ball there?

Might break records for shots per game. I've got Boogie on my fantasy team, even more rebounds now.

I saw this on hoopshype -



Marc J. Spears: Kings plan on using Rudy Gay as a stretch power forward & see Gay & Derrick Williams as interchangeable guarding either forward, source says Twitter @SpearsNBAYahoo - See more at: http://hoopshype.com/rumors.htm#sthash.dTcSeMaO.dpuf

well but maybe it is a brilliant move by Kings to acquire best Tank Commander in league, lol .. :-D

The funniest part about that collection of parts being jammed together in Sacramento... is Jimmer Fredette sitting on the sidelines watching it.

I bet road trips are a blast for that guy.


[Note: He can't guard anybody, but I wonder if the Wolves inquired about him at all in the Moute deal. Fredette has a definitive NBA skill... he can shoot the 3. And, he can even handle the ball a bit.]
