The Sacramento Kings traded De'Aaron Fox to the San Antonio Spurs. It was a 3 way trade that also involved the Chicago bulls. I've had the pleasure of watching Fox play in my adopted hometown. He was the center of the franchise and I'm sorry to see him go and he was playing great when he was healthy. And going to the spurs he'll be the perfect #2 to Wemby. The spurs may have all the boxes checked off it'll be interesting to see them now.

I'm not sure if the kings are better or worse now. The team was built around Fox. It's now Sabonis, Malik Monk and a new hc.

An even bigger trade was Luka Doncic to the Lakers. Wth was this trade was about? The Mavs were in the finals last year and they trade the centerpiece? Anthony Davis asked the Lakers for help and this is what he gets? And now the Mavs are an old tired team.

Rumor has it, lebron james didn't like Davis and Luka had issues with Mavs brass. Quite possibly an upcoming salary renegotiation for Luka was sky high and the Mavs wanted to get value before he can become a free agent. Who knows.

What I heard is that the Mavs are upset with Doncic's lack of conditioning word around the campfire is that he's 277 pounds. And the Lakers think Davis is injury prone. One thing I've learned about LeBron is that he doesn't tolerate a lack of conditioning no matter who it is that's about to change.

Could be, Doncic is a big guy. I've never had respect for LeBron though. Ridiculously talented but has always had an overinflated view of his own importance in all things. Nobody cares for your opinions outside of your craft, same goes for all celebs & artists.

Wondering how Levine fits in with the Kings. Has really played well this season. He and Monk are a very good backcourt scoring wise. The trade got them out of extending Fox on probably a max type of deal. Which is not a bad thing.

Regarding the Spurs still have a few boxes to check off. Shooting and size being the two most pressing needs. Really need Vassell to play consistently better night in night out. Way too many games like the last one against Memphis. Have no size behind Wemby.

They do have potentially 2 lottery picks this year depending on the end of their season and also Atlanta's unprotected 1rst. Need a win tonight!:)

Be interesting to see how they use Chris Paul going forward as he specifically signed with Spurs because he was promised starters type of minutes. Well that and $11 million dollars!:) I would think his minutes will be cut some due to trade.

Really no reason to play him more than Castle at this time. Castle needs to be in the upper 20s every game.

Los Spurs are done. That run- from 1989 to 2019- they enjoyed the greatest run in professional sports history- that one year they missed the playoffs- 96-97, they got the lotto draw that saved the franchise.
And it wasn't just that they got Robinson and Ducan- they got dudes with character. They built a franchise based on keeping your mouth shut and doing your fvcking job. Remember when Tony Parker got busted banging that ho bag Erin Berry? That was about the biggest Spurs scandal ever.
And that old culture is now gone. The NBA has zero loyalty to fan bases now. Wemby will be gone as soon as his rookie contract is up.
