    I love the trade, but how much does it hurt our playoff chances this season? Now we have to play a rookie at the 4 spot?

    Wow, I was just looking up this guy thinking there was no way Kings would trade him this early.

    I have a feeling eventually Royce will make you eat those words...

    Don't get it twisted... this is opening up an opportunity for him as #well

    THe reports earlier said Morey had 2 deals he was considering; I wonder what was the other one.

    Also if we are not taking any player back from PHX then we should still have over 5 million in cap space and could still take Hamilton from Chicago for a 1st round pick (we also have one roster spot now).

    Don't know if it's just me but he looks more like 6'7 to 6'8 to me.

    Wait Morey trades a tweener, Morris and a softie, Patterson for a real PF prospect?

    Robinson was the best PF prospect in the draft (if Davis is considered a center)

    don't agree with 1 trick pony though... 2Pat was coming off an injury that bugged him in his second year ... he was improving this year

    WoW...!!! Morey got a forward who was the top 5 pick in the 2012 draft and is under contract for the next four years.

    Great move...

    Sacramento has/had all our sloppy seconds now. Brooks, Hayes (cool guy), landry, and now Ppat.

    He's shorter than PPatt (TRob is 6'8.75), but has longer arms, higher standing reach, and more propensity to rebounding.

    They could start Garcia at SF and have Parsons at the 4.

    So we traded away two power forwards and only got one back in return?

    Royce White's doctor approves.

    Scored 25 points with 10 out of 16 shots against the Utah Jazz on Feb 10 in Sacramento. Kings won that game. Athletic, long, solid rebounder. Can attack the basket. I'm very pleased.

    Greatly apologize.It was Isaiah Thomas who performed this feat.
    Still happy with the upside of Thomas Robinson.
    Low risk, medium to possibly high reward.
