EPTThe Kings are known for their slanderous ways of painting players once they leave the org. And I've never been sold on Boogie as "toxic" or "cancerous" since from the little I know about him he's never carried himself as a diva or bigger than the team. He has a temper and that's as much as he should be guilty for. This imaginary line of players that "hated" playing with him is just that - bullshit. I'd sooner believe it's one or two guys who made a comment and that's being used as fuel to make it out like plenty of people dislike him.

He's getting physically abused everytime. Excited how he'll fit right next to AD | ||

Guess what? He made the switch to 4, no problem. He developed his shots behind the arc, no problem. He improved his face up game, again behind the arc, no problem. Improved his dribbling, no problem. Improved his passing, no problem. Boogie is among the top 5 most versatile players in the league right now and Kings are a dumb enough organization to trade him away just like the time when they didn't match 8 million a year of their restricted free agent Isaiah Thomas. NO will tear this league into a new one with Cousins and Casspi and Kings will continue being miserable as always. | ||

Kobe was never bad for the Lakers, when he got his stupid massive contract it was a plus for them, it stopped them from giving that money to mediocre vets (on longer deals). If you show me a move that the Lakers could have made if Kobe was on a $1 million/year deal that would have got them to 55 wins, I might rethink this, but IMO they were a bad team with or without that, so better to be bad & paying Kobe than bad & paying Greg Monroe & Rudy Gay. | ||

 nice move by the Lakers and Magic. my thoughts on Williams are already on here. if you can get a 1st rounder for him you are doing good. He has 1 more year on his deal at $7Million. No idea who has his bird rights. On February 22 2017 11:24 Scarecrow wrote: Failing to land boogie seems like it was the nail in the coffin. I don't know how they ended up offering less than the pels. maybe they didn't. the kings GM said he got a better offer 2 days earlier. | ||

- @jimmyc Ya that Kevin Ding hit-piece was savage yesterday. Incredible timing too, which can't be a coincidence to someone that dialed in. His sources are very high in the Jeannie camp from what I have gathered. -ASG is in LA next season. Larry Nance turned down this year's event citing his injury. It actually makes sense, and he might be the only Laker in an event. -Pelinka is a surprisingly strong hire, and a better idea than I could have expected from them. He is the main reason I will have hope in this new FO. I would still like them to poach another valued executive from another team in the offseason though. -Magic says he is into analytics, then immediately mentions PER like he just memorized what it means a day ago. oh boy...(even Hollinger a few weeks ago: + Show Spoiler + -@jimmyj Ya I think it was good for both teams. Lou was the best player on the Lakers this season, by far. Both teams came out ahead, the Lakers mainly by tanking this season. Lou was single-handedly keeping us and winning us some games this season, it had to stop. -I think Lou will fit in nicely with D'Antoni offense. His game is predicated on taking those shots that MDA likes. He is also deadly drifting and shooting to his left, and is the king of the 2-for-1. If for some reason it doesn't work out, HOU can still flip him before next year's deadline. -@jimmyj Pretty sure HOU will have his bird rights next year at the end of his 3-yr contract. Don't take that to the bank though. -Still can't believe Vlade said that out loud yesterday to reporters. EDIT(2/22)- Ding said he was actually surprised by the quick hook on Jim and Mitch. So he is not as looped in as I thought he was. He has always tiptoed that laker troll/clickbait line for me so he still goes above that for now. Still one of the top 5 or so trusted non-team sources for the team that knew the firing wouldn't last till season's end. | ||

Lou Williams was somewhere between very bad and below average for the Raptors in the playoffs the 1 year he played with them. His defense was below average and his shooting was lousy. He was a pretty good play maker when given the chance. | ||
