Why is Dallas struggling so much this year? They have talent

World's most annoying person candidate number 1. Oh and this is about getting publicity and a reality show for her. Make no mistake.

Fucking pathetic. Try more makeup. A hot 27 yo needs no makeup...

Funny thing is you all realize that is a wig she is wearing right?
She looks NOTHING like that in the real world.

I hope that Pat Riley doesn't find a replacement who turns out really good, cuz then I would have to question again why Olshey hasn't found anyone to shore up our big man group.

Five guys shooting 40% or better on threes and we are barely a .500 team? And I am really surprised to see Elleby's numbers so good; I thought his shooting was terrible; I was feeling sorry for him.

3 of the players aren't shooting that much, which is why I pointed out the 2 that are.

Hopefully, Elleby's 3fg% will silence some of the "wasted spot" haters. Complaining about the 14th man when we're 2nd to last in defense feels like this season has been even harder on some than it has been to me.
 
Looks like they left Russ at home and it helped!

I heard that. It's crazy for sure.
5 years in this league can be a very long times for players or coaches.

Kings Highly Likely To Trade Nemanja Bjelica Before Deadline
Feb 4, 2021 11:43 AM

Nemanja Bjelica is in the final season of a three-year, $20.5 million contract with the Sacramento Kings, but he's been dropped from Luke Walton's rotation.

"That is for sure going to happen," said Zach Lowe of a possible Bjelica trade on his podcast published Wednesday. "That's clearly a 'We're just going to probably put on ice until we trade you' kind of thing."

Jason Anderson of the Sacramento Bee also indicated a trade of Bjelica will likely occur at some point.

"This has been the subject of some confusion and a little mystery, but the bottom line is Bjelica would welcome a trade and the Kings are quietly working on it," wrote Anderson. "League sources tell The Sacramento Bee the Kings explored trade possibilities involving Bjelica around the time of the NBA Draft in November and will continue to work through their options leading up to the March 25 trade deadline.

"Bjelica hasn’t appeared in a game since Jan. 9. His 10-game absence started as a coach’s decision, then was described as being due to personal reasons and then was attributed to back spasms. Sources with knowledge of the situation told The Bee there was no personal issue for Bjelica. Playing time, however, was an issue."

I think Zach for Bjelica works and keeps Portland under the tax line. Blazers would have to add incentive though, IMO

It does keep us under the apron but it just depends on how the Kings see Zach. Do they like the idea of his QO or his value as a RFA? If they do it's better than the very little value they seem to have for Bjelica. I'd throw in a second rounder or two though.
