    If Lakers get Beasley (because of us) and then get Sessione, I'll be pissed.

    I would take Blake over what we have now. But I agree they need to include a first round pick to compensate for his multi 4 mil a year contract.

    No one wants Beasley. They are begging for takers.

    Here's the worst part of a Blake return. This team is not ready to part ways with McMillan. Blake is clearly Nate's guy. They would be doing this to appease McMillan. With Blake's contract, there's no way they would bring him back if a new coach was on the way.

    You understand that Mr Sonic is part of the three headed GM, right?

    God this smells so much like the Lakers are gonna CupSmack everyone in the NBA.

    #1 Do the three-way to get Beasly, check...

    #2 Trade Bynum to Orlando for Howard, check...

    #3 Trade Beasly and Gasol to NJ for Deron Williams, check...

    Don't say I didn't tell you so!

    Portland I believe was interested in Minn draft choice. I would take Blake. He would be a solid back up PG. unfortunately he is going to be our starter. Hope we get the Lakers pick also

    Ben Golliver tweeted that the Kings want Batum. I wonder who we could get in return. They have some good players. He also said we've been talking to the Celtics. Not sure about who we want.

    Rondo would be it


    As for the Kings, I would assume it's Evans. At least that would make sense?

    Pierce was mentioned as being offered to us.

    For Sacramento, agree, seems like Evans makes the most sense, them looking for a SF, young, but not rookie young, established somewhat in batum

    Either would be great. I also just read that Gasol might be going to Bulls for Boozer. That would make Bulls better.

    I wouldn't mind taking the risk and just asking for their un-protected first. They suck and will continue to suck. They may win us a top 3

    I would do that in a heartbeat. And I think we have a shot at keeping Willaims too.

    I can't watch this team with Steve Blake running the point.

    This is obviously a move to fucking appease Nate McMillan.

    Fuck this management.
