Melonhead · 12-31-2021, 02:02 PM

Gonna be pissed if they don’t give Knight another 10 day because IT is on the roster.

The Kings announcers are pretty unbearable and I opted out of my League Pass so I'm stuck with a Kings stream

I still do not even half understand what a foul is.

Fox hit nothing but arm, wrist, and hand and it was a clean block?

That tragic feeling when Brunson walks this summer for nothing.

They can’t afford to lose him at this point

Trade Brunson now. At the end of the day he plays the same position as Luka. We need two-way secondary creators, not another lead guard.

I mean, you could argue that Brunson is exactly what we need in a secondary ball handler role, but he'll need to start. He and Luka have always seemed to play well together.

We need a starting guard who can take the pressure off Luka...not one backing him up.

That's why I kinda hope we keep Knight as a backup pg off the bench.

Luka/Brunson/Bullock/DFS/KP should be our starting lineup. Sub Green for Bullock if he plays poorly again.

So we have a player that can actually play and we should trade him?

1) You look to trade everyone not named Brunson and Luka to improve the team. If we can get someone like Sabonis and make a nice run to end the season, you might be able to make Brunson happy and end up with Brunson on a cheap-ish contract next year

2) If you can't improve and it looks like he's leaving you do your best to get a player for him. You also have to keep in mind that we can do generous SnTs and still get something for him if he wants to leave.

KP
Opponents shoot 11% worse when defended at the rim by Porziņģis this season.
6th in the NBA among players with 5+ DFGA and just 0.8% worse than 3x DPOY Rudy Gobert.
-Statistics-
Among players who defend 5+ field goals per game within 6 feet of the basket, considered rim protection, KP is 6th in the league! He only trails:

Giannis (2x MVP and DPOY) - 17.8%
Jarrett Allen - 16.2%
Evan Mobley - 15.3%
Precious Achiuwa - 13.5%
Rudy Gobert (3x DPOY) - 11.8%
Kristaps Porziņģis - 11%

He's ahead of BPG leader Myles Turner, and great defenders Joel Embiid, Anthony Day to Davis, Jakob Poeltl, Steven Adams etc...

Which is why he should start at center and why trading him makes little sense without a serious upgrade.

Carlik Jones is being picked up the Nuggets....soooo I guess we're playing against him Monday night? Weird.

EricaLubarsky · 01-01-2022, 02:02 PM

Luka/THJ/Kleber will be available tomorrow

SGA starting his quarantine

EricaLubarsky · 01-01-2022, 07:49 PM

EricaLubarsky · 01-01-2022, 08:46 PM

Tomorrow
WCS- personal
Burke - COVID
Boban - COVID
KP - rest

I absolutely agree. Do it while his value is high. We may get a position player that we'll value. At the same time we could keep someone like former All-Star IT (not as good as Brunson is now) if we need someone to play the position.
