They accumulated assets and didn't make stupid trades in the hope to win 40 games.

lol, that is your justification for comparing them to the Sixers rebuild?

Does trading a first round pick for Marcus WIlliams mean trading assets?
 
i've found the one person in the world who doesn't think the kings are a total joke and scratching their head at what they're doing.
 
I think BRule and Gf are just purposely taking the opposite side. I haven't seen one basketball analyst who thinks this was a good move. It's the same thing with Draymond as well. Just disagreeing just to disagree.

Zach Harper.

I don't think the trade was dumb for either the Sixers (taking on terrible contracts to get a pick), they lose nothing or the Kings (trading a non top 10 pick and Staukas, who isn't very good) to shed salary. If I thought Stauskas was worth a ****, maybe I'd feel more negatively about it. The team either tanks and loses Cousins (and maybe the team leaves Sac) or try to put up a team that is semi-competitive in Cousins, WCS, Gay, McClemore, etc. If they can sign two players (have the money for it), they will be a decent team.

People tend to extremely overate non lottery first round draft picks in the NBA. Hell, even Stauskas was 8th last year and he wouldn't even be close to sniffing the lottery in the 2015 draft. Plus, the 2016 draft is shaping up to be awfully crappy.
 
Man, I kinda like what Detroit has done. I really like Stanley Johnson and now they've added Baynes, Morris, Bullock. Its a shame they Jackson and Jennings at the point.
 
Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings: LaMarcus Aldridge has cancelled his meeting with the Knicks today, per source.

But why wouldn't he want to play in the Mecca?
 
Great offseason. Now just sign Stuckey and find a way to trade Nene and Ernie is forgiven.

Free agent center Robin Lopez discussing deal with Knicks that would earn him in range of $12M-$13M per season, league sources tell Yahoo.
 
Not a bad deal for the Knicks actually.

A starting five of Grant/Affalo/Melo/Porz/Lopez might actually be entertainingto watch.

Still think the timing is way off forthem to try and compete considering how much better some of the other teams are but a solid team nonetheless for next year.

Another serious consideration for Robin Lopez: The Lakers.
 
My first stab at the east playoff teams:

Cleveland
Washington
Chicago
Atlanta
Miami
Toronto
Milwaukee
Indiana

And I think the 8th seed is up for grabs.

I don't buy Indiana as a guarantee. I actually think BK could be pretty decent next year. Decent meaning 7th/8th seed in the East.
