    They're Sacramento? The one thing they're good at is running their franchise into the ground.

    The deal supposedly gives us an extra $1.4 mil in cap space next year.

    Because they're trying to spend less. They're a franchise up in the air right now.

    Don't get too excited - I bet he gets flipped for J-Smoove.

    I think the DMo love is unfounded at this point. I don't get it.

    With Robinson's numbers per 36 minutes so far in his young career, he'd be my starter.

    I'm gonna miss Morris and Patterson hitting threes and smooth open jumpers for me in 2k. Now I gotta switch up my strategy of threes or shots in the paint.

    I don't think you understood me. Of course I am cheering and of course I'd like a deep playoff run. Heck I am living in Germany paying 150 bucks for league pass broadband to stay up till, what is it right now, 3:40am to watch and cheer for this team.

    All I am saying is, I am fine with making moves that don't help us right away but set us up for a great future. This is a rebuilding year - we don't really have a realistic chance at a title this year. We need to develope our players and add one or two more major pieces. T-Rob might develope into one of those pieces or help us get one of those pieces. At least he is more likely to than any if the players we traded away.

    So, that's what I mean when I say this season doesn't count. Only a shot at the title counts and we can't get this this season. So do everything possible to make the future count!

    If he doesn't get traded. Putting T-Rob next to Asik, best rebounding 4 & 5 in the league?

    How's T-Rob on D?

    Awesome F***ing trade!!!! I love it!! Daryl Morey you the man!!


    And on a side note.. I'm reading that the Thunder are throwing Jeremy Lamb in every trade talk imaginable. oKC doesn't think the kid can play.

    Morey, you sly dog you

    He is a low post player. Cousins is the dominant low post player in Sacramento. They could not play together. Patterson will fit better with cousins because of his ability to step out and shoot.

    We needed more rebounding and post presence. T-Rob is a young, very athletic, strong, physical player. The move also opens up playing time for Jones and DMo at the PF spot. He s only 21 and has a great work ethic. He will only improve his game over time. Good trade!

    If it was a 3-team trade then you have to look at it as it took all of that to get Robinson.
