OT: Things are starting to pickup. 2 trades in the league today.
Sources: Houston is trading PJ Tucker, Rodions Kurucs and Bucks’ 2022 first-round pick back to Milwaukee for DJ Augustin, DJ Wilson and 2023 unprotected first-round pick. Houston also gets right to swap its 2021 second-round pick for Milwaukee's FRP pick unless it falls 1-9.
This is the first I recall of a 2nd for 1st swap. I mean, it’s likely only moving up 7-8 places in the draft (and from a non-guaranteed draftee to a guaranteed rookie scale deal), but still.
Reminds me of Mike Bibby. He shot over 80% with the Kings but tapered near the end. I swear my un-scientific analysis has it to do with bulking up. Same goes for Buddy from 3 this year.
This game is reminds of playing a pickup game at the gym…probably less competitive. Watching Kings for more than 5 mins takes serious effort. The Kings could actually make tanking fun and just let me watch Woodard, Guy, and Jeffries play. Give a little regular run to Ramsey and James. As a fan I would actually enjoy that, Vivek and Monte just don’t get me lol. I want Tank City!
I feel like it’s been said once or twice before, but Woodard has a hamstring problem, so throwing him out there right now isn’t such a great idea. I can’t wait to see him once he’s sound again.
Uh,,,I’ll try that. The team that plays the worst defense. The team that plays better D tonite are just total losers and don’t know how much more important losses are to their teams future than a win is. So far DC is playing the most professional game……by far!
Good job by Fox get into his spot to make that game-winner. Bad news for the tank as we could’ve picked up a half a game on Washington there. The schedule is on the tanks side moving forward. Luke good job giving JJ minutes now move those minutes down the bench and stop playing your stars meaningless minutes in this lost season.
No defense tonight from either team
Who wants it more? The lottery pick, I mean.
Funny, the Kings are just as good (or bad) defensively with Haliburton starting in Bagley’s place. Because Bagley plays like a guard.
Cojo time!
OT: Things are starting to pickup. 2 trades in the league today.
Just my observation, but the Bucks really need a backup PG right now.
Send them Joseph.
Be our guest
Veteran leadership!
That 2023 pick is nice.
Potentially the Emoni Bates draft. Not that a Bucks pick is likely to be high enough to get him.
What, DJ Mbenga didn’t want in on it?

The bucks suck lol have fun trying to beat the nets. They blew their chances the past few years
No energy…maybe it’s all the trade talk. Lot’s of Woj bombs going off tonight.
Kayte Holmes has become pretty irreplaceable for this Kings team.
And 20 seconds later, Draper, He fits in perfectly with this young kings team.
I am probably overthinking things, but that sure sounds like something you would say if you were trying to drive his price up in the trade market.
I doubt other GMs are listening to the Kings broadcast AND are being swayed by the likes of Kayte.
Lol…so true
It’s key to make sure that the broadcasters have their talking points because most GMs are too lazy to look up stats or watch video.
“Oh, no! It sounds like the Kings see Holmes in their long-term plans! How many first-rounders are we allowed to trade at once?”
I don’t think there’s any seventh-level chess going on here, the entire broadcast crew pretty universally talks up all of our rostered players.
Holmes will be traded, simply because I don’t want him to. I’d keep him, Fox and Hali and start over.
It sounds more to me like prepping Kings fans for an overpay in FA.
Dirty foul by Len. That’s not a flagrant?
Anything to the face, right?
That’s what I thought. I mean, come on, he nearly gouged Hali’s eye out.
Kings already getting outrebounded 16 to 6
Can we please run the offense through Cojo more?
In two years, I don’t think I’ve seen Holmes miss three push shots in a row. Well, if anyone’s earned some slack, it’s him.
Did you see that airball the other night on the short one? I had to rewind it to make sure it was actually Holmes shooting it. That thing is money.
That was just silly. There was no one near him, but I still insist he had to have been fouled supernaturally or something.
Westbrook will never be an elite player until he starts hitting his free throws..hehe
His percentage decline is so odd. First nine seasons, he shot 82% from the line. The last four seasons? 70%.
Reminds me of Mike Bibby. He shot over 80% with the Kings but tapered near the end. I swear my un-scientific analysis has it to do with bulking up. Same goes for Buddy from 3 this year.
He can’t shoot in general so maybe that explains it

I’m so confused about that last possession. Why didn’t Whiteside come out to screen for Halliburton?
Oh, Doug.
Tank sure needs this one tonight but it’s good to see guys having fun out there coming into the trade deadline.
It’s amazing that we are not in first place the way Draper talks up the Kings.
If you could suggest ways in which he could have a different tone, then what would you say?
Just call the game and stop acting like you’ve lived here all your life. As much as we disliked Grant, he at least called it like it is.
Uh,,,I’ll try that. The team that plays the worst defense. The team that plays better D tonite are just total losers and don’t know how much more important losses are to their teams future than a win is. So far DC is playing the most professional game……by far!
It’s Cojo time! Dribble dribble dribble. Throw at Robin Lopez’s face.
Refs treating Lopez like an All Star.
If you watch these last few minutes then you see why Whiteside’s value is complicated.
Hali playing a really smart game tonight, glad his little mini slump is over.
I love Westbrook’s attitude to the game.
That jam off the back rim in the first half was the best miss I have seen all year. I too like that killer attitude
Let’s see if the Kings can keep their composure. Last game was tough, the Hornets game, last 5 minutes the Kings couldn’t hold it together.
The shooting in this game is horrible…both sides
Joke call on Holmes.
what happened to bellis shot? It doesn’t look the same like he altered it and not jumping enough
Whiteside checks in, immediately turns it over
Gives a foul
What’s with the first name basis for Westbrook, Russ this, Russ that, jeez.
Beal and Westbrook will let our tank move on. They’re not going to let the Wizards loose.
Doug just repeated what I said…lol
This is where we lose the game
Here comes the Kings choke job.
Let’s go Kangz.
How should the team know to move from side to side should somebody tell them?
Maybe it’ll happen at this time out
Hali nice inbound pass to Westbrook, the little things
Would of had an assist too if Westbrook would make his dunks
What a shot by fox. That was a thing of beauty
Tremendous. Now THAT was an All-Star level play, in an important moment in the game.
Welp he got that one
How the hell did Fox make that shot?
That’s kinda what he does.
A 30ft Bejelica airball three. Nice!
He’s been doing that a lot lately
Kangz possession there, now a 2 point game
What great offense lol one man game
Tied, jeez, here we go again.
A Bjelly wide open three is a good possession FYI
From 30ft?
Have you not seen him play? That’s a good shot for him normally.
This feels like a team taking a dive maybe they understand the tank
Clutch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Come onnnn Wizards! You got this Westbrook!
LONG TWO!!!
(Stars take long twos)
Big shot by Fox. Bad make.
What in the world did Doug just try and say?
beal for the win
1 minute later: BEAL WITH THE 3 WITH 7 TENTHS OF A SECOND REMAINING
Stupid stupid stupid

Where is bat-dad when you need him?
Westbrook destroying the tank
If that wasn’t a tank throw in, fuck Westbrook. He just wanted his triple and then tank it.
First actual game where I really wanted the Kangz to lose by 2. They can’t do anything right.
Oh well, you can’t lose ’em all!
Russ wants to be on the Kings confirmed
If he doesn’t blow two open dunks, Wiz win.
or shoot anywhere respectable from the three-point line
He was also practicing his crosscourt passes to our guys
Ugh Deaaron, you alright buddy? You sound a little down
Can you not
Hey, bucks sixers is in ot
Good job by Fox get into his spot to make that game-winner. Bad news for the tank as we could’ve picked up a half a game on Washington there. The schedule is on the tanks side moving forward. Luke good job giving JJ minutes now move those minutes down the bench and stop playing your stars meaningless minutes in this lost season.
Well, at least the Pistons won.
And we gave important developmental minutes to Hali and – checks notes – Whiteside?
