"That’s a real postman we can get the ball to – not taking anything away from JT or Spencer – but he’s a banger. He got his teeth knocked out and shot in the leg and still came back. Anytime you have a guy like that, you’re going to take advantage of it."
Tyreke Evans on Carl Landry, as quoted by Wendell Maxey at SLAM

Not to take anything away from Kevin
But I think the guys have a real respect for Carl and probably in time will have real good chemistry.

We traded a player from a position where we had an abundance, to gain a player where we were starving.
Landry is going to be very good, and more importantly, good where we desperately need good.
Rocks are free, and slingshots easily stolen.
There aren't many players right now
who are as good at Landry at scoring for a big man. He’s also not a bad man defender although his rebounding is a tad lacking. I hope we can lock him up for a while.

We have him for next season. Let's get to the off-season before we worry about who we keep and lose long term.
Please?
No mistakes in the tango, Donna. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....
I'm not sure Donald Sterling is a human being. He had to have been manufactured by someone, possibly David Stern, so that one team could solely just make profit for the NBA while doing nothing good for themselves. -- Aykis 16
No
That would be logical.

Sorry. I'll try harder to be illogical next time. Any suggestions?

Make a trade Kevin Martin fanpost

i agree with Peaches (for once)
He does score as well as Webber does down low, both very patient with the ball/head fakes, and finally split two defenders and end with the baby hook or right hand slam. Not as big as Chris or as good of a rebounder. But he’s solid.
C-Webb's post play was vastly overrated. As was his rebounding.

Looking at his rebounding stats
And you’re right. His advanced rebounding stats are not all that great. His best DRB% was a 24.2% outing in his first year as a King, but for his first few years he didn’t break 18.5% and he hovered around 20% for his career. Spencer has had a better start in his career for rebounding. C-Webb was a good post defender before his injury though.
Grandmaster of the "Never let AnotherStupidSN forget what a Sham-Wow is" Order and Originator of the "Brock Ness Monster".
Yep. Underrated as that actually.

It's because the NBA let Shaq park in the lane for as long as he wanted
and called a foul on anybody that touched him. Because the Kings couldn’t stop that, their big guys were called soft. Ridiculous.

It didn’t matter in the end but there should have been aumber of 3 sec calls on Toronto last night

Damn you all..
I need to get on my 3 seconds in the key, or should I say overnight camping by certain Fakers today and yesteryear, along with Tim Duncan’s illigeal screens. But Pau is the most horrific at the illegal screen/moving pick. I can live with TD, because he is TD; but the star bigs in the league get away with illegal screens and 3 seconds almost as much as Kobe flails his arms.
Now I am getting all bent out of shape thinking about two of my beiggest pet peaves, combine that with no drinking for a week and I might have to go yeall at my children.

We have an abundance of 2s?
I dont think so.
Carl's attitude matters just as much here.
I think Kevin was seen (right or not) as a sourpuss in the lockerroom. Once the Martin contingent gets that Martin wanted out, and that there is life after SpeedRacer, all you have to do is euthanize Sammy and I think StR will be all set.

I wouldn't say he's a tough guy in the paint
but he sure is clever and skilled around the basket offensively. He makes shots in traffic pretty easily.

He feels like a foregone conclusion once he gets the ball near the hoop.

and very patient, JT needs to watch him 24/7

JT needs to watch that play of himself after he grabbed the rebound off Omri's missed 3
THATS how you play near the basket. He went up high for that slam.

The whole team
Needs to watch that third quarter over and over. Now that’s a blueprint.
"I know we certainly gave up a lot to get him, but we do have other players on the perimeter who we can plug in. We haven’t had anybody who we feel is a go-to guy in the post. So we gave up a lot to get a lot, and we’re real excited about adding Carl." - Paul Westphal
That's not a bad idea.
That was a great quarter.
To be the best, you have to do your best. Otherwise, you are only second-rate.
Going Forward
I think the game against the Raptors shows the potential of the new look Kings. Hopefully we can look back at these times down the road and say this was truly the start of a new Kings era.

Don't get too excited, the Raps have the worst Defensive Efficiency in the NBA
109.5 per 100 possessions. Of course the Kings are the 7th worse at 107.4, So, maybe a yahoo is in order.
