Looks like they need a 3rd team to help with the deal. was hoping we could come in and nab Jason T to play backup PF/C since they have 5 F on their roster.
Smoove Boogie Nights: The Gay Cousins find a new partner. (separately: why do Oprah and Ethan Hawke show up in a good image search of "gay blaxploitation"?)
If Sacramento adds J Smith and Rondo that team will need 10 psychiatrists to keep up. Maybe they can bring in Stephon Marbury to coach the team. No joke, I would watch that team everyday. That would be a fun team to watch. Can they add Metta and Mo Williams too?
Can they afford that though? Smith makes 13.5. Rondo makes 12.9. Gay makes 19.3 and Cousins makes 14.7. Right there, that's $60.4 million. And that's not even counting Landry or Jason Thompson (unless they find a way to dump both). If they do try to pair Rondo and Smith together there, they have to get rid of Gay (from both a financial and basketball standpoint) and they'll probably have to move 2 of their overpaid power forward rotation (Thompson,Williams,Landry). It won't be easy.
Landry would e great for this team, but not a fan of is contract. Man is getting paid 6.5 million through the 2016-17 season....damn
