Hold on a minute /nba/, just hold on a minute.

Let's take a minute to appreciate what we've seen here.

So the SAC Kings, a terrible joke of a team that had 1 (ONE) good player on it, has now traded away that good player for

>A useless D-leaguer in Galloway who Woj is reporting will be waived in the trade by NO
>A literal BUST in Buddy Hield that has no upside on a dog poo SAC team
>An another player they've literally had before and did nothing without him

>A PROTECTED pick in 2017
>A SECOND RD pick in 2019

And this is on the heals of them retaining their rights for Bulls top-10 pick.

BUT THEY HAVE A SWAP WITH PHILLY BECAUSE HINKIE IS A GOD

I don't think we've fully comprehended how bad this trade is. It's truly awesome.

Also, forgot to mention, the Kings are also trading away another player with their best player, because apparently their best player wasn't enough for Galloway

Using the picks is probably a better option if you want to win a ring. No trade puts them over Lebron or the warriors, so the smart thing to do is plan for after LeDecline happens and the warriors salary cap issues start to affect the team they can put on the floor.

The bottom line is Ingram is a bust, bully ball is dead, and Snitchy D is losing minutes because Luke Walton doesn't trust him. Celtics meanwhile are a top 3 team in the league without Cousins ".350 winning percentage" Cousins. You are celebrating another team getting a player while your team has no players.

I suppose, but that doesn't take away from the fact that Danny wouldn't have had to give up any important asset, like those picks, if he had traded for Cousins. We have a quadrillion assets, and nobody on this team is off limits. And THAT was all Sacramento wanted for Cousins? He prob could have done Olynyk straight up.

>>74303680
That's the problem with having those assets. Trade talks start and end with the big ones. If ainge offers two boston firsts and jaylen brown, it feels worse than getting what they got from NO, because the narrative around the trade would be "Ainge rips off another GM, doesn't give up most valuable asset". Vlade can't afford that.

Just be happy you have the picks for fucks sake

awesome trade

Buddy gets a chance to develop and play through his mistakes or at least show that he's actually a bust, Boogie gets a chance to show everybody how overrated he really is.

Sacramento had to start over, the environment was going to be toxic so long as Boogie was still there.

People saying Ainge fucked up this Cousins trade is an opinion and not a fact. Maybe Cousins hasn't promised anyone that he will resign with them. Cousins could have ended up being a rental for most teams so it wasn't worth it for those teams.Cousins would have been a good fit for the Celtics on the court, but in the locker room, that would have been another story. Thomas is the guy that's played with DMC and has inside info about this attitude issues that made Ainge and Brad stay away.There are a lot of possibilities. But to say Ainge blew it, come on now.

Cousins is toxic and was never going to propel them to 8th seed, let alone a title. Getting picks and a decent rookie for a massive contract dump is good.

Yeah, the Celtics could land Cousins but its obvious that they did not want him.

Build the team via draft and free agency, not through trades where every team in the NBA is trying to pry them off with their high lottery picks.

GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE. Locker room cancer fucking emotional idiot chemistry killer. Maybe now we won't have a center that takes 4 pull-up 3s a game. Maybe now we'll have a big man that actually makes his team better and isn't just looking out for #1

Bye faggot, Buddy Hield is the future. He's a fantastic shooter and he will make this team better through time. I'd rather be a team with the potential to be good down the road than a fucking perpetually mediocre one. And that's where we were with Demarcus- stuck in the fucking mud

>>74303847
when Butler was a 22 year old rookie he shot 40.5% and was dreadful from 3

Draymond Green, 22 year old rookie that shot .327/.209

Dragic, 22 year old rookie that 39%

so no, I can't find a "23 year old", but just like those guys Buddy was 22 years old to start the season so it's basically the same.

Dude the Kings traded Cousins for literally nothing, 2 first rounders that don't even have to be the brooklyn one plus Brown and is already a better offer.
Then their offer Brooklyns pick and some contracts to match up for Butler.
