If you think you're mad now
Wait til you see him hog the ball next season, then wait til you see him rot on the end of the bench as our new K9(woof!)

In Petrie we trust?
May turn into an oxymoron.
I don’t get it, we drop three spots in the draft to pick up a player who is far less tradeable and who’s contract is worse for what? A thirty one year old, ball dominant small forward who was traded just two years prior.
Where are we spending the big bucks??? Gee maybe we can get Baron Davis.

Second Round
HoneyCutt, Parsons, or Selby would make me extremely happy ( For the second round, of course. I still hate the Salmons trade ).

its tossed around casually
but Mack fits. Great stroke from deep, strong upper-boddy to finish with contact and he has no fear.

Silver lining alert;
You think Salmons is happy about going from playoffs, back to Sac?
BWAHAHahahahahhahhaah!!

That's another thing...
He is probably not going to want to came back to losing Sacramento to play with a bunch of young guys who could care less about him.

Plus, given the Maloof's money woes
Can they really afford to pay a dude 8 million a year to play basketball for someone else?
We could have taken him at 7
The only difference was that maybe we would have had to pay him slight more. I don’t know how rookie contracts scale by pick position but maybe you owe the 10th pick a little less. At any rate, Salmon’s contract doesn’t make that any better.
Let's see if we can get ten sg/sf's on the roster
Go Honeycutt.

Take him and wait for him to come over. By then, we can shed some of our SFs
Cavs get Harper from Richmond.

Did anyone see this already? Just saw this
Rudy Fernandez will be traded to the Mavericks for Jordan Hamilton, with that pick being conveyed to Denver as part of the Raymond Felton for Andre Miller trade.
Cousins is good but he's no manna from heaven.
Wow, Minny traded #31 for Cash.

did you see how awkward he looked in the video?
I don’t know, I hate this pick and don’t see how it fits in our roster at all, backup PG or big man for insurance
Dannyboy
Funny thing is he was in same workout group as Jimmer
and on the same team in the 3 on 3.

and when they did the spin drill with the fake defender, then pull up jumper...
Jimmer was smooth as silk, honeycutt looked like he’d never done that move before in his life. He is very unskilled offensively and is like a Tayshaun w/ no offensive confidence, yet….maybe it morphs into something else but I agree with the comparison of Matt Barnes at best, except he was a thug, baller w/ a knack for the game and a chip on his shoulder. I don’t know…maybe Jimmer made him look bad in that video but I don’t know what the kings saw in him
Dannyboy
Yup Honeycutt

by HeuristicLineup on Jun 23, 2011 7:46 PM PDT up reply actions
No he isn't
Tyreke can play the one. He’s shown at times he can pass the ball.
However, Jimmer has shown in workouts that he too can see the floor.

If Jimmer
does end up starting, he could actually have a pretty good shot at ROY.

This is all but guaranteed
But at the same time… Its all but guaranteed he’ll walk into camp and be by far our worst defender. AND THATS SAYING SOMETHING

I think that Evans will surprise and impress this year
And with two shooting guards in Thornton and Fredette, he’ll have a partner that can spread the floor.
SACTOWN ROYALTY - Try our thick creamy shakes!
does he want to?
The NBA is point guard rich. Half the league will be able to get into the lane against our backcourt
Not for nothing,
but how many guys can cover upper tier NBA point guards. And Evans has matched up very well (when healthy) against Deron Williams. He also did well against Gilbert Arenas, Baron Davis, and others.

Tyreke is a pretty good 1 on 1 perimeter defender IMO

Yep -
He impressed his first year when he was operating on physical talent alone. With a return to health and added experience, he could really take a leap forward.

Incorrect
He is the starting point guard for your Sacramento Kings. If you don’t like the way he plays the position, so be it.

Can't really be sure either way
until he plays, right?
"Children want what they want when they want it." ... Andy Sims
We can't be sure of anything Ed
But I’d feel more comfortable saying something like “Kawhi Leonard will be a decent rebounder in the NBA” because he actually rebounded at a high level in college.
This “Jimmer will play defense” and “Jimmer will pass well” stuff is chock full of wishful thinking IMO.
"Grant is a genius." - section214 - 5/17/11
I don't disagree
I haven’t watched enough to know either. I guess I look forward to seeing it when, if, the season starts
"Children want what they want when they want it." ... Andy Sims
The certainty of it wears me out a bit
And it’s almost exclusive to Jimmer. Not many caveats, it’s a lot of “Jimmer will” do this or that. Makes me wonder how he didn’t go top-3.
Yes, I’m looking forward to seeing it as well. Seems like a great kid and we know he can shoot. Nothing else I’m sure of at this point.
"Grant is a genius." - section214 - 5/17/11
I agree with you there
Hate the absolutes of “will” or “for sure” or “guarantee” and all of those qualifiers. We don’t know until he shows it.
"Children want what they want when they want it." ... Andy Sims
I promise
The doubters here will be really surprised by how athletic he is and what a good passer he is. Very great floor vision, and strong. I think he will actually be decent at defense as well.

And it's fine with me 'cause I've let it slide
I'm happy with him
I was happy with Spencer Hawes, too, so…

SACTOWN ROYALTY - Try our thick creamy shakes!
I get that you think that
But I don’t think it’s as simple as saying “even though he didn’t pass much in college, he’ll be a good passer in the NBA”.
Again, this is the NBA. I don’t think you can just assume a guy who didn’t pass in college will suddenly be exceptional at it at the pro level.
"Grant is a genius." - section214 - 5/17/11
The main defense I have for Jimmer is he was told to do ONE thing at BYU
Score. He was told to slack on defense and to spend 100% of his efforts at scoring the basketball.

That might be a bigger smokescreen than anything Petrie's been accused of
Funny how none of these other top players were expected to slack on the defensive end.

by HeuristicLineup on Jun 23, 2011 8:01 PM PDT up reply actions
That whole "didn't want him to play defense" thing holds no credence
You can almost sway me on the lack of passing due to his need to score. But most likely they didn’t ask him to play defense because they figured it was a waste of time.
"Grant is a genius." - section214 - 5/17/11
That was exactly what his coach said
That they asked him to work less hard on defense so he wasn’t too tired on offense. Could be a smokescreen.

And it's fine with me 'cause I've let it slide
Who knows?
Maybe we can do the same for him in the pros.

I'm not just guessing
I watched him play for the last three years. He absolutely has the talent. It just wasn’t what he was asked to do. I’m not saying it as a bandwagon fan but as someone who has watched this kid’s game progress before most of the nation knew who he was.
It comes down to reality

True
All I can say is that what I saw in college is more than most people are giving him credit for. I wasn’t surprised at all that he blew people away in his workouts. But nothing is sure until it happens.

So was Adam Morrison and plenty of other players
Doesn’t mean Jimmer’s following that path.

My point is Curry was able to transition to the PG position very well
Before Curry and Jimmer exploded as scorers for their college teams they were PG’s . I think Fredette can pass at the NBA level with better teammates which he will have .

Let's be honest, Salmons is an upgrade of our current 3-spot
BUT…. it’s not worth losing Beno (who is very consistent offensively), especially considering Salmons’ contract. And skill-wise, his play is similar to Tyreke’s. Really does not make sense.

As much as I dislike the idea of Salmons, realistically, it’s a better situation than it would have been in with Beno. We needed a SF. Salmons is a SF. We wanted to draft a G, which meant we needed to get rid of a G. I see why it was done.
We still have more money than anyone to play about in FA or to conduct more trades and whathaveyou, and realistically, are only paying about a million more a year for Salmons than for Beno, who again fills a need. Maybe he’s not worth it, but he’s now the best SF we have. Not better than Cisco offensively, perhaps, but better defensively, and more consistent all around than either Omri or Donte.
No, I don’t like the trade, but I see why it was done.

In the same vein of things, we still have a good number of players who can become fodder for further trading. Salmons is our starting SF right now, but what if he ends up as your backup?
Right.
You like him a little better, don’t you?

No, I don't like him better as someone being paid 8 million a year to come off the bench
If that is your plan its a bad one.
It’s not my plan. It’s simply what I currently see happening. He starts, until and if we aaquire a better SF, and then he comes off your bench or gets traded. Reality still stands that the move, as unwelcome as it could be, was needed. Beno or MT would have been livid with the guard situation. We had to dump one, and Salmons was available att.

Im just saying
If you traded for Salmons with the intent of making him your backup, that was not a good decision.
I just read the official media release on Kings.com
and it’s amazing how close Beno & Salmons career stats are.
Salmons; 9 yrs; 10.1 pts; 44%; 37% 3pt.; 81% ft; 3.1 reb; 2.5 asst
Beno; 7 yrs; 9.6 pts; 47%; 36% 3pt; 84% ft; 3.5 asst; 2.3 reb
I guess the difference is…with Beno we were lacking a starting SF, with Salmons we have a vet SF starter who defends the perimeter.

we'll see...
I just know I perused the rosters for a veteran SF to trade for many times and when I saw Salmons I thought to myself “that would (should) never happen”
So we needed help at SF and PG
At PG we lost Beno, but got Jimmer (future 4 time 3pt contest winner) and Isaiah Thomas. At SF we got Salmons (excuse me, I just threw up a little in my mouth) and Tyler Honeycutt. Not bad, but not great. I just hope the little vomits in my mouth don’t become chronic watching Salmons this year.
I hope we sign Dalembert. We can offer him plenty because we filled our veteran free agent SF need with Salmons (excuse me, little puke again) and we’re only spending an extra million or so compared to Beno.
I hope there may be more roster adjustments coming
