You’re making a good point. But hey, remember how people were outraged when James Harden was traded for Kevin Martin and Steven Adams’s mustache?

I agree with most of this piece. However:

And you have to consider that he always played for the fucked-up Kings and their shitbuckets excuse for a team. What might he accomplish in a not-fucked-up situation?

And with that cap space, they could make an offer to a an in-their prime, all-star caliber free agent, someone like... Boogie Cousins! Oh.

The worst thing about this trade? It legitimizes every “who says no?” stupid, lazy trade scenario put forth by talk radio and sports blogs.

sometimes the talent isn’t worth the headache

I wouldn’t do that trade. But! If the Kings absolutely had to get rid of Boogie because he wouldn’t resign, or because he would resign, or cause his farts smell, then a haul of Andre Drummond is better than Buddy Hield + non-top 3 draft pick.

A lot of what’s coming out is “NBA sources” that plain just don’t like Vivek and would like to get rid of him. That bit about there being a Drummond-Boogie trade on the table? Yeah, “NBA sources”.

It was not a terrible trade for NO. It certainly was much better than the deal they eventually made for CP!

Yeah, there’s a fascist in the White House, but the real important thing right now is to denounce liberals who don’t share all of my ideas. When all the deviants are stamped out, we’ll surely romp to victory in 2020!

You are right, this move makes sense now, before Ibaka’s trade value sinks to zero. What never really made sense was bringing Ibaka in the first place.

He’s sticking it to the Mexicans, he’s rude to black people, he’s banned Muslims - of course those 40% are happy! Greatest President EVER! Their America is GRATE again.

Run from the pigs, the fuzz, the cops, the Heat

FACKING HIPSTAHS

Steve Bannon looks like a nazi.

“I have nothing to fear but fear itself”

Damon Jones! Damon Jones! I can’t believe nobody mentioned Damon Jones!

Hey! Don’t go shitting on Mario Chalmers! He was... Oh wait. Mario CHALMERS. I thought it was Mario West. No, I mean Mario Bennett - uh, does Mario Hezonja play point guard? Mario Elie.

Hmmm. Thin-skinned about criticism, lashes out at media, has an authoritarian streak, convinced he’s the bee’s knees, improbable hair. Who does he remind you of?

Pffff, no one was guarding him. That’s what’s wrong with the modern NBA, no hustle. Hand in the face people!
