    There will be some interesting opportunities from players/teams looking to change their futures. We don't have a lot of assets, but perhaps there's a bargain for us to be had by taking on some salary.

    As an aside, the 1st round pick we send to Charlotte will likely be in the mid-to-high 20s. It just makes that trade look better and better for us.

    Must have saw something in their last check that didn't look right? Otherwise I thought was targeting coming back after the All-Star break.

    God damn. Is that guy going to ever be healthy? He's a hell of a shooter.

    Gallinari never had the ACL surgery in April, only surgery to repair his meniscus. Story soon on Yahoo.

    The Kings are the best 15-26 team I've ever seen.

    Re: OFFICIAL 2014 Around the NBA thread

    They'v looked completely different since trading for Gay. Rudy went from an inefficient chucker who was a ball stopper to playing the most unselfish basketball i'v seen him ever play, i'm not sure what caused the transformation but if he continues to play team ball the Kings are going to be dangerous next year.

    What's neat is that Toronto got better by trading Gay. Both teams win.

    The Thunder have been called for 10 fouls already. They were called for a total of 14 last night against Portland.

    I thought they named a pool of 20 or so, and then the final 12 was selected closer to the competition?

    Kawhi Leonard broke a finger on his shooting hand tonight against OKC. Seems like a big deal to me. :dunno:

    Re: OFFICIAL 2014 Around the NBA thread

    Reggie Jackson may be better for OKC than Westbrook is at this point. Will teams actually start scouting Jackson and make him go left when he drives?

    Durant is just in a zone that can't be defended at this point.
