2016 NBA Season Notes/Info

If I was the Kings GM Cousins would be untouchable and I'd start tanking immediately. They've gotta stay in the bottom-10 to keep their pick, that's top priority. If their lucky one of UK's guards will be on the board...

I'd try to pry some picks or young players for Gay. I'd field offers for WCS, Temple, Barnes, Collison, McLemore. Ideally I could get a late 1st or 2 and some early 2nds.

then we go for the playoffs full push in 2017-2018, with a young team thats good enough to convince DMC to stick around..


Gotta find some sort of vet to sign that could help in the lockerroom too. Oh come to think of it I'd sign Joe Ingles....

Problem is the following: If you tank super hard, Sixers can swap this year. If you're mediocre, a 11 or higher pick would go to the Bulls. In 2019 their pick goes to the Sixers - unrestricted. So long term tanking doesn't work either. Kings are basically ****ed.

Let them swap picks then, as long as it's not lost. It'll still be in range for Isaac or Tatum. That roster can be overhauled completely before the 2018-2019 season.

If some of those rotation players get moved for expirings/2nds and they take in a nother big crop of rookies. they've got cap flexibility. So if $$ and picks are spent wisely they can make plenty of progress, to the point of a young dangerous team, quicker than expected.

I mean it makes some sense to tank for the '17 and '18 drafts. But let's be honest, a top 2-5 '17 pick is very unlikely to contribute big time to winning in '19 on a shaky roster with an unstable owner, gm and franchise player. The high '18 pick even less in his rookie season. So you need free agency support as well. Quality free agents will try to avoid Sacto like a STD.
So it's down to making too high bids(at the time) for restricted guys that randomly explode, overpaying for unrestricted free agents that randomly up their game a ton or Boogie making a U-turn personality wise and using USAB to recruit quality guys.
If I'm the GM all those 3 options are a needle in a haystack, especially the 3rd.
Boogie expires in '18. How likely is it that he wants to stick around and find out if those lottery picks pan out? How likely is it that under the new CBA the Kings can offer him a 5 yr extension or sth that he accepts next summer?
That's why I'm pro trade him for additional assets. You get the high '17 and '18 picks anyways. You can still overpay restricted and unrestricted FAs and gamble that one is a steal.
You don't have the headache of losing Boogie for nothing and you got another 2-3 (lottery?) picks on top of that.

33 points for Embiid, matching the most by a Sixers rookie since Iverson

During the Blazers/Warriors game Thompson had the ball in the corner for a three. The defender closes out and the result is a travel by Thompson that the refs don't call. Now Thompson was across the court from the Warriors bench. When this happens Iggy and Clark jump up and start doing the travel call sign and Durant does it but remains seated.

His own team mates rat him out despite the no call lol.

Touch, handles, footwork, range.
Dude needs to stay healthy.
If he does, I could see him being the best big in the league. (Other than the brow I guess)

Best looking shot in the league. (Honorable mention to Rodney hood)
 
@CarmichaelDave
Worth following: according to league sources, Aaron Afflalo was slow to enter the game in Utah, declined to enter in Houston. Stay tuned.
