So Kmart wasnt the problem??
And calm down on Landry guys. Its going to take at least 15 games for him to get adjusted to coach westphals system. But trust me when this guy adapts…HE WILL BE A BEAST! And Tyreke needs to step up if we want to win this. Jus sayin
Landry has talent for days, he's going to be a complete asset.
Rocks are free, and slingshots easily stolen.
I loved the post ups
He has good moves. Something we didn;t have. He’s not going to travel so much. Good pickup
"Children want what they want when they want it." ... Andy Sims
You can see the skills
Its pretty clear. It seems like he is trying to go 110% and fit into the team, but unfortunately when you go 110% in steps, thats a foul
Might've been a good idea to bring him off the bench for a couple of games

He does do something that no other player we've had can do:
He gets up in the air quickly. We don’t have a lot of explosive guys.

He's a very nice player

It's the Clips, nothing is impossible.
Unless we keep playing like ass.
Rocks are free, and slingshots easily stolen.
Just think how epic the post game thread is going to be
after we witness this epic 2nd half comeback.
What we've got here is, failure to communicate. Some men you just can't reach.
err
one too many epics in there
What we've got here is, failure to communicate. Some men you just can't reach.
You all have a great Sat night
Hope we can get this win, if not we can always blame Kevin. Go Kings!
"Children want what they want when they want it." ... Andy Sims
Lmao off good one..
So Mentally weak….(Sarcasm)
By the way Kevin was 3-14 from the field tonight. But he still got 14 points. Majority at the line. So i guess small market teams dont draw fouls…..right Kevin?

I'd have taken him, although I like Landry having a lot more great years ahead.
Rocks are free, and slingshots easily stolen.
its going to take
a lot longer than one half to determine that.
What we've got here is, failure to communicate. Some men you just can't reach.
it made a lot of sense on paper to me
Landry’s younger, cheaper, this year has been about as good as Kevin’s good years.
It made sense on a lot of levels to me.
What we've got here is, failure to communicate. Some men you just can't reach.
I'm on the "F this trade" bandwagon
but c’mon. Quiet down for now.

Because they hired his assistant.

GREENE! You’ve been superfluously apostrophe’d! - andy sims
but wait, K Mart was 3 for 16 tonight in loss to Pacers
guess that means they got burned in the trade—-by the dumbass first game logic on display tonight.
Calm down guys...
Tyreke will get it going like he always does. We will be back in this in no time. Although Nocioni is sitting on the bench…hmm smell post deadline trade….
Patience is a virtue.
My fellow Kings fans,
Please be patient. Obviously this team has some deficiencies that are more than one player and more than a deadline deal can fix, but I encourage you to be patient.
We get that Kevin wasn’t the sole reason for our issues. The trade is done. It’s time to look at the new team that is left in the wake and see what we have.
No team quickly acclimates to a new roster. Whenever you add a player into the mix it takes a lot of time to get the squad right.
If you are evaluating that trade based on one half of play, I really don’t know what to say to you. It isn’t how you do things. It takes time.
This team wasn’t going ANYWHERE in it’s previous form. I really liked Kevin, but it just wasn’t going to happen. If nothing else, the trade frees up money to go after future prospects and we get a big out of it. How many times do you see teams deal for the bigger player AND cut future payroll? It just doesn’t happen that often.
I watch a lot of NBA and cover a lot of games other than the Kings and trust me when I say that we have a good thing going here. It may take time, but we are moving in the right direction. I’ve been a pessimistic Kings fans for years as well, so I get that part, but let’s just please give this some time before we immediately jump to conclusions over whether the trade was good or bad.

Landry is a solid consistent player
Playing his first game on a new team,I still like the trade because it = Landry and another quality player for 1 quality player and Sergio

Or in the next several seasons.
We’re only playing for draft position, and to get the young guys some burn.
The season is one long training camp, and that’s next year too. Get used to the concept.

Besides the fact that he's a SOPHOMORE beast with huge upside
Landry looked like a great guy and solid locker room presence in his interview with Peaches.
Still dont think we shouldve started Cisco though. No matter how well he played in practice.
sophomore?

Landry motors his ass back on defense, just a full sprint.
Love that.

They need some rythm (and Beno) if they want to come back.
which is going to be impossible with the refs calling every little ticky tack thing.

Well, the refs give us the blues.
Playing Beno here gives us a chance.

Garcia hasn't played much worse than Udoka honestly
at least they’re both defending, and Garcia hasn’t been throwing the crap at the rim Omri and JT are.
What we've got here is, failure to communicate. Some men you just can't reach.
Omri & JT are outscoring Garcia 19-2.
And have 3 assists to 0.

the third quarter shot selection for them

Huh?
Is Landry wearing Iverson’s arm sleave on his left leg or did his other sock just fall down?
Whats with all the ‘step backs’ by Caspi? New H-O-R-S-E shot? Flat as a pancake.
Kaman: 18 and 13
JT + Landry + Hawes: 17 and 12

Kaman is legit.
He looks like a goof, but I’d take him on my team without a second thought.
Rocks are free, and slingshots easily stolen.
People see this a bad thing
When truthfully, Kaman has been a lifelong Kings fan. He’s not trying to destroy the Kings, he’s merely auditioning his talents to his best capacity, like “Hey Petrie! It’s me, Chris. We share first names, that’s cool. Yo, so how about trading for me? Dunleavy sucks. Word, good talk. Check what I can do son.”

May’s not dressed, Armstrong’s gone, Sergio’s gone…Nocioni’s the only legit choice.
There can only be one Noce!
Could be a million things, all of which we wouldn't be privy to as fans.
Just got to hope he gets out of it soon. Man, it must suck to be Nocioni right now. How incredibly happy would he have been to be shipped off to a contender? Instead the Celtics take Nate Robinson. Eff that.

Then start Beno
Garcia doesn’t exactly look good handling yet either.
Fantasy sports author for Rototimes and Fanball. Northern California sports fanatic. Kings blog: Kingskingdom.com
Beno is the only other PG
so Udoka is probably the other option, but he’s not really a ball handling guard either.

Yup
me too. Would have liked to see them continue to play Greene.
PW’s rotations are always different, but tonight has just been interesting with Garcia starting. He just doesn’t look close to ready yet.

The good news is:
Landry is going to be good, maybe even very good. He’s having an off game, but you can see what he’s going to bring. Once he settles in, I think he will be one of our most consistent guys.
The bad news, we don’t appear to have a starting 2 guard anymore. I don’t think Beno, Garcia or Donté are long-term answers.
Rocks are free, and slingshots easily stolen.
Can Udoka play there?
Tough night for the new guys.
Significant gravitas shortfall expected in 2010.
He can, but he's no more a good starting option than any of the others.
Rocks are free, and slingshots easily stolen.
Heh, not so you'd notice...
Ime’s not that bad an offensive player, he cuts to the basket and hits open shots.

Well, theoretically speaking there is a lot of offense.
I’m just saying having one true defender in there would be helpful.
Significant gravitas shortfall expected in 2010.
why not humor the veteran ESPN skeptics and try starting Reke at 2 since he can play either
Beno starts at one (but we’re too thin at PG now the Spaniard’s gone).
We’re still in this game. Wish it was as fun as those games where we were down 30.

I would be willing to bet
the new team finds a way to be down 30 sometime between now and the end of the year.

that two guard is a hole now, unless Garcia gets back to where he was two years ago. And even then, he’s aspiring to be a complementary guy, he wouldn’t be a plus guy.

If a shot ball only hits the backboard, does the person who catches it get credited for a rebound?
I’m asking because Reke just got one off the glass
I've got gas - yea, i'm enviromentally friendly
yes
as long as it was an attempted shot.

I'm pretty sure
you can rebound airballs too actually.
What we've got here is, failure to communicate. Some men you just can't reach.
no, I'm serious
if you throw up an airball that is counted as a shot, the guy that catches it gets a rebound I believe. You can’t rebound your own airball of course.

but 3-16 and losing at home by 10 to Indy is pretty brutal.
Well. We were just down 6. This sucks
Not that I care about the losing, it is just the way that it is happening.

Kobe Bryant dunks to win the game, shattering his wrist and kneecap, crumpling into a heap and taking Pau with him into medical retirement. Lakers forced to rebuild, trade Bynum to the Kings for expirings.

I saw a ton to like with Martin.
He filled the box score. He shot 9 FT. He took open shots. If he goes at his career rate he scores 28 in 30 minutes, easy

Which SG actually post these days?
I can think about 3.

Martin's D will improve within the Rocket's system I think.
As for PG, the only point I’ve seen take advantage of his size against Houston is Williams, and a couple of times, Kidd. The rest? Meh.

Kaman really stinking the place up.
Who was it that told me how stooopid I was for suggesting we try and pick him up?
When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.
I'm sure we tried.
Word was that they were asking a TON for him. Most of the NBA was looking into getting Kaman this year and last.

I made a suggestion in assinine trade threads
about swapping Kaman for Martin and some “tool” told me I didn’t know anything about basketball and he is glad that GP isn’t that stupid.

You can't give him the ball at the elbow and say "Go score"
The Clipper announcers are right about that.
He needs a good entry pass when he’s set up in the post.

I realy like how he was able too two foot jump and dunk right under the rim. That shows explosiveness.
I've got gas - yea, i'm enviromentally friendly
He can do that.
But you’ve got to let him set up underneath.
His jumper is pretty good, but that’s not the weapon that gets frontcourts into foul trouble.
Significant gravitas shortfall expected in 2010.
“Let him set up” e.g. post up, or you mean he has to collect himself before exploding up to dunk (e.g. is a bit slow at getting off his feet)?
Not at all.
He’s an explosive jumper. I mean he’s not a “dribble drive” guy. He’s an old school power forward who scores points close to the basket.
Significant gravitas shortfall expected in 2010.
I think it’ll take the Kings awhile to figure out what to do with Landry. We haven’t had a guy with a real post game since Webber.
Even Webber would handle the ball, and drive and shoot long jumpers.
When healthy he was incredible.
Landry basically answer the old description of Power Forward, before they all started shooting bullshit threes.
Significant gravitas shortfall expected in 2010.
10% of his points are scored on dunks
he’s got PF athleticism we haven’t had since #4 was around
What we've got here is, failure to communicate. Some men you just can't reach.
He'll get offensive boards too - but that needs to be a team effort.
Hawes doesn’t seem to crash the glass much.

So apparently the only big time "new guy" after the trade deadline to have a good first game is...
Tracy McGrady? Eeeesh!

Kaman 22 & 16
Why am I one of the few around here that thinks this guy is a very good player?

Are there people that don't like Kaman?
He is a solid player. I definitely like Kaman.

Good thing the Kings got rid of the "soft" in the backcourt.

Landry's going to be disappointed to learn
when he runs screen/roll with our PG’s, they never pass it, regardless of how open he is.
What we've got here is, failure to communicate. Some men you just can't reach.
Huh.
That’s going to be a problem. Because he’s nearly automatic on that stuff.
Significant gravitas shortfall expected in 2010.
Hopefully Evans grows out of it.
What we've got here is, failure to communicate. Some men you just can't reach.
Might be hard to grow what with him wanting to carry the entire team on his back.
Bad for the spine.
Rocks are free, and slingshots easily stolen.
The general feeling away from Sacramento is that Evans
grows into being a very good passing 2 who can run the point when the matchup is right.
Significant gravitas shortfall expected in 2010.
he is in the Brandon Roy mold.

He's more explosive than Roy. Not as good a shooter.
Maybe not as clever with his scoring, but he’s awfully young still.
Significant gravitas shortfall expected in 2010.
Brandon is a lot savvier, for sure. He’s the ultimate decision-maker, which is why he’s a great passer but almost never turns it over. He and Tyreke are both a special kind of combo guard, I think.

that's also because besides Reke Im having a hard time thinking of our good passers.
and Reke likes to hold the ball for a few seconds while he thinks about his dribble move, which is why I wouldnt mind seeing Beno try starting at 1.
PW is going to try everything I bet.

the only good passer on the team
is Spencer Hawes.
What we've got here is, failure to communicate. Some men you just can't reach.
there is him, but he would rather shoot 3s. And Evans can pass, he would just rather
score.
by VirginiaBlue on Feb 20, 2010 10:11 PM PST up reply actions
honestly
I don’t think you can say Hawes has been looking for his shot for the last month. When he catches it, he’s always looking to make a pass first if he’s more than 8ft away from the hoop.
What we've got here is, failure to communicate. Some men you just can't reach.
he's passed up a lot more 3s in the last month
than he’s taken. Do you really think he’s been taking too many 3s lately?
What we've got here is, failure to communicate. Some men you just can't reach.
There's basically no one who doesn't like him from what I can tell.
Morey had a “manly misting” talking about Carl leaving. The problem we had was two starting caliber PF and no SG to speak of.

I suspect he'll average more most nights. Kaman hoovered up a lot of loose ones.

Gordon congratulates himself on the dunk contest.
Why?
Significant gravitas shortfall expected in 2010.
Kings are really getting two players with Landry and Cisco coming back.
Gonna take them both a bit to get into it all.
Probably not.
Clyde Drexlers opinion (and some are worth listening to, the rest are ok because he’s from Houston and won a ring there) is that it takes 10-15 games to adjust to a new team. Not that he did it a lot.
Significant gravitas shortfall expected in 2010.
I know Evans had a good game, looking at the box.
But did it kind of seem like he had a lousy game while watching it?
Rocks are free, and slingshots easily stolen.
he made some bad decisions. But I can already envision his dump off passes
to Landry. You know that’s going to be there.

I hope so, Landry looks quick around the rim, he should be a goldmine of easy buckets.

Should be.
What you can’t do is move everyone out from underneath for a Tyreke ISO.

Again, it seems like Coach likes to make sudden changes.
like starting Kevin right away from injury with big minutes, or starting Cisco tonight.

What you can see is all these players "growing up" together.
Keep the same coach, too. It will start to gel for all of them at about the same time. It’s a very young team. I’d almost say you need to add a creaky, smart player like Camby, because while I don’t believe in a lot of “veteran leadership” stuff, I think it makes some difference with very young teams.

The constant losing thing is
damaging the “young guns” confidence and it shows. Brtinging in a veteran to help the W’s is never a bad idea as long as its not too expensive.
