    So what was our offer that would beat Hield/draft pick?

    Seriously. It's the same way for me. If they don't like the negative thing you're saying, they'll act as if you're freaking out, or need to "breathe". It's getting annoying.

    I'm glad we got Nurkic. I guess it's better he made 1 good move, and no bad ones. Who knows maybe we will be bowing to Olshey come draft night.

    Brilliant! Then lose Cousins in free agency. Wow.

    You know what's annoying? Posting every two minutes, bitching in every one of them, and THEN, and THEN, getting annoyed when someone says "hey guy, maybe don't?"

    I'd be OK with that if it were Crabbe, Turner, or Meyers. I think we are going to have to PAY to get out of those contracts.

    You can lose anyone in free agency.
    Not saying i would send all 3 picks, but that's the max i'd give if i have to.

    After 1.3 years of Dame/CJ/Harkless/Cousins/Nurkic. I would LOVE to take that gamble.

    Hield was the 6th pick in the draft. They also got Tyreke Evans, Langston Galloway, a first and a second.

    Your offer would be Allen Crabbe (a highly paid bench player currently), Meyers Leonard ( a highly paid bust), and three picks which would currently be 10th, 22nd, and 28th.

    I don't think that offer would beat NOP. It hinges on whether Hield or Crabbe are the better player, and right now I think Hield has a higher ceiling.

    Even teams that are trying to make a deep run ended up not doing anything. Why get mad at Olshey for not panicking and shooting his wad now instead of draft time when the offers will probably be better? even without another trade we still have a chance to play G. S. In the 1st round.

    I thinks it is pretty hillarious how we have such a love hate relationship with Olshey on this forum. 1 moment we are all praising him and saying he's a genius then we hate his fucking guts and want him to rot in hell. What a roller coaster.

    Will the offers be better come draft time? Maybe we get stuck with three rookies on top of this pile of burning cash

    All this shit about paying Crabbe 75 million, Turner 70 million, Parsons 94 million.....

    The one person they actually could have paid 94 million for and is playing well.....

    Harrison Fucking Barnes

    Tyreke Evans, Langston are a non factor in this deal. Sac might even release Evans.
    I don't know how you can justify 3 picks being worse than 1 pick just because Buddy Hield has a bit more potential than Crabbe.

    I'm not pissed off at the Cousins deal alone, it's the Okafor and Noel fails that broke me.

    That is extremely unfortunate.

    I don't think it matters. Ranadive has a hard on for Hield. A lot of other teams were trying to make offers and weren't even being heard. Kings were going to go with NOP regardless.

    Not acquiring Okafor or Noel could be dodging a major bullet. I have heard nothing but bad things about them off the court.
