Casspi is so happy he 'cried like a baby'. It means a lot to him, his family and his country. It's 6:30am in Israel now. He hasn't slept. He'll leave for Sacramento tomorrow. 'Sacramento will be a great place to play and develop.' Casspi plans to play in NBA in 2009-10.

Whew

Casspi at least makes sense to me even if he wasn’t my guy.

Dude, with Evans this Casspi, the kings will no longer be soft

Who cares

that’s a stupid perception anyway.

Not to mention, he cried like a baby...

Sounds real tough, eh?

Actually, the Casspi pick is the only one of the night that I’m ok with.

I wouldve been ecstatic to get Evans, but Rubio wwouldve had to have been off the board first.

I haven't wanted Evans for a month

Evans is a man. Give him a the ball, he's gonna get to the line

He’s not going to shoot a stupid 3 or drive to the basket and turn it over like beno.

In a few years when this guy develops into something like a dwade kind of player, we’re ognna be very happy we picked him.

I'm loving this pick

and am slowly getting over Evans

We basically got three tough guys. Once again, is this Petrie or Levien?

Petrie's M.O. used to be the tough guys (in the 90s)

Drafted Briant Grant, Michael “The Animal” Smith, Corliss Williamson, Tyus Edney (one of the toughest 5’9" 160lbs you’ll ever see!) and traded softie Walt Williams for the scrappy Sarunas Marciulionis. That was all in about a two, almost three year span.
He knows more than one way to put a team together.

Yeah even though he traded Frank Brickowskis for Sarunas

But, I hope your point still holds.

hmmm...

…that’s right.
So who did they get in exchange for The Wizard? Or did he just walk as a free agent one summer?

by Kevin Conroy on Jun 25, 2009 9:14 PM PDT up reply actions

I actually like the Casspi pick.

Apparently, the SPurs were rumored to eyeing him and looking for a way to trade into the first round to get him. Given their draft history, we got a good one.

Wonder if we can work something w/ Boston to get Rondo & change for Noc and some pieces?

Rondo/Sergio
Martin/Evans
Casspi/Garcia/Greene
JT/Brockman/Greene
Hawes/JT

If we could land Rondo now

I’d be ecstatic. The Kings would be really fucking tough for once.

to get rondo

the kings would have to part with either evans or kmart.

Another thought

What about a trade that sends Rondo to Minny and somehow gets us Flynn or Rubio, without giving up Evans?

by vfettke on Jun 25, 2009 9:03 PM PDT up reply actions

I'd be good with either one.

Rondo is already one of the league’s top-5 PGs. I wouldn’t take Flynn over Rondo.

But it might be a good way to get Minny to part with one of those two

without us giving up Evans

thank god he’ll be here next season, i think he’ll bring a lot to the kings off the bench.

by gedrosolan on Jun 25, 2009 8:51 PM PDT reply actions

I’m pleasantly surprised that he’ll be coming over right away. He looks physically ready for it and I was hoping the Kings wouldn’t just pick a guy solely because they could stash him overseas for a year or two and save money.
