    This team is an absolute joke. So much talent and high draft picks and this is what they come up with in the off season.

    Eric Spoelstra...coach of the champion Miami Heat..after watching a football game said he will implement some football offense into his own offense...

    coaches say things to maybe seem innovative or something..but in the end it all comes down to playing basketball with talented players.

    kings have enough talent to be better this season. dont look too far into this statement.

    The triangle was used successfully with the Lakers. Granted, Thornton and Evans are no Kobe- but they do have one of the better frontcourts with Robinson and Cousins. With Jimmer playing a derek fisher role, Evans and Thornton playing on the wings, and Cousins and Robinson getting the ball most of the time- it could work. But, that requires Evans giving up the ball and the players buying in and I'm just not seeing it.

    It's a joke not because it's old, but because it's the Globetrotters. It's like learning how to be a soldier by watching Rambo.

    Can't wait to see Evans guarding Kobe on the perimeter and then he throws confetti in his face and steals the ball.

    Cousins will do the hide the ball trick in his jersey in the post and dunk it in.

    So, Smart is hoping that Evans will voluntarily pass the ball in a scheme in which plays don't call for a specific guy not named Tyreke Evans to receive the ball?

    This is going to go well.

    and Princeton with Nash, Kobe and Dwight sounds even sillier than triangle with Cousins, Tyreke and Thornton, tbh

    What did the Harlem globetrotters ever do to you? Did they kick your dog?

    i'm actually excited to see how that works in practice for the Kings. in theory, they have the personnel / skillsets to make it work. Unlike the Wolves under Rambis.
    I just wonder if they'll have enough brains and maturity.

    DJ Augustin or Ramon Sessions would do that team wonders
