Most people think that excelling at passing the ball translates directly into averaging 8+ assists per game this is not always the truth. I think there is a common misconception with players in the NBA and their ability to pass the ball effectively. I really hope they trade Thornton and his contract to a contender for expiring parts and go after Randle in the draft(my personal choice)

I like this trade more than I hate it and getting rid of a lot of those parts means salary has to go somewhere and with free agency not a likely scenario might as well as well roll the dice on someone since it has worked with Williams. Didn’t even get some 2nd rounders for taking Gay’s contract Acquired the albatross contract and chucking mentality that is Rudy Gay Got rid of Boogie’s good friend Patterson Correct me if I’m wrong but he’ll be an expiring contract next year right? Might be a good trade chip(assuming I’m correct in that assumption) Front office is atleast trying to improve(although some may see this as the opposite by getting Rudy)

Still bad enough to get a good draft pick Got rid of a lot of spare parts for someone who might can help Cousins and Thomas score Opening up a lot of time for Derrick Williams(thought the trade was ok before but he has played his tail off so he deserves more playing time) Maybe even more playing time for Mclemore(which is never a bad thing…guy has started to find himself in the nba) Vazquez the swinging door won’t be playing defense anymore(Now the defense won’t be AS bad) Either Thomas starts or Ray starts(I hope he gets some serious playing time now.guy is good) I think this was a good move for the kings not this season but far as direction wise and showing that “WE ARE ACTUALLY TRYING TO COMPETE this was great move win win for both teams. Shaq signed up because of Demarcus his strength training regime as player alone not even moves will improve Demarcus. If they were to move or stay this team will be worth more then it is now if the moves they make the next couple of years pan out. Their in the position(NOW) where they don’t have to draft for need but for talent and make it work however it will. Their not making the playoffs if they don’t get the number 1 pick and miss out on Wiggins it all good they will be back next year and they can add any of the other top picks in this draft like Jabari ,smart,randle, etc. Adding Derrick Williams and Rudy Gay will make them better by default their not going anywhere anytime soon they can eat the rudy gay contract. They cant land a marquee free agent they cant bank on every pick paning out and lottery ball falling their way. The kings benefit from becoming versatile.
