There is no fucking way Jimmer is starting in Sac-town from day 1.. Thornton and Evans will be the back-court assuming Thornton is resigned (I believe he was?).

I don't get the use for all three of those guys. Tyreke is a black hole, Thornton also needs the ball to be effective, and well yeah ... Jimmer is Jimmer.

Three volume shooters, none of whom can really play PG that effectively ... gonna be such a retarded rotation in Sacto.

Yeah 3 tweener guards in your rotation is unusual. Thornton is a legit baller tho so they gotta find a way to get him in there somehow.

[A Tasty Burgerr]

At least Sacramento got rid of a wing, it was an even bigger mediocre clusterfuck before.

Yep, Thornton is a LEGIT baller. Dude could evolve into a Joe Johnson type scorer in the right situation. Sacramento is not that situation, unfortunately.

Lockout begins at 12:01 tonight. It's gonna be a long one.

The Kings 2012 pick to Cleveland IS lottery protected, so they win the trade.

Saw this at another site. It shows you how much of a shitbag James Dolan is. How can the Knicks be great again with this fool running the team?


"As we reported Wednesday, the Knicks finally did not have to pay a luxury tax this July after being one of the tax-paying leaders for many years. The Players Association and league are finishing up the final audit this week. The Knicks’ payroll finished 2010-11 at $67 million — $9M over the cap mostly due to the Carmelo trade. But they fell $3 million lower than the luxury-tax threshold. What did it get president Donnie Walsh for saving Dolan all that tax money while getting the Knicks in the playoffs? It surely didn’t get Walsh his final $5 million option year in which Dolan could have exercised last spring instead of trying to negotiate an awkward extension. Dolan didn’t want Walsh to have the full $5 million during a lockout season. After all the money Walsh saved Dolan with his responsible payroll cuts, Walsh deserved a $5 million bonus."
