Top 4 was their ceiling with a healthy Zion. Pull the post or you being disingenuous like you are normally on this board.

FYI, I bet on OKC last night.

Show me where I was disingenuous in any Zion/pelicans post?

All I said was they weren’t a top 4 team in the west when the season started. Sorry you’re a lil choco starfish hurt about it all

I really fail to see how anyone can think Zion is suddenly going to be healthy long term.

He's a monster when he can play, but dude can't stay on the court.

I thought the warriors were going to dominate my Kings?!? Apparently not!

That Sabonis/Halliburton trade looking damn good still

Your Kings? Have you've been a closet Kings fan since joining CCS?

It only took them 20 years to build it but Kings do have a nice young squad now. Would love to see them take out the Warriors as there isn't a team i'm more tired of seeing.

Nah, I was just the only one on CCS that thought the Kings won that trade and would be a good team this season

That was one of those trades where both teams won. Kings had too much talent at guard and parlayed that into a player that fit them perfectly and Pacers reaped the benefit of having said player.

Most here thought the kings fucked up

Meanwhile, one team at the top of the standings, the other in the lottery

For the record on that Kings trade.. Just read post #74 on:

NBA Trade Deadline thread.

Yeah, I don't remember any Bulls rumors for guys they actually got last year. Just seemed like nothing leaked from the Front Office. Well, thats why if you link the bulls to every trade candidate you’ll get it right!!

I would agree with Axl in that it's a trade where both teams won. The Kings of course have produced a better record than the Pacers. Pacers got two players who utterly own the Bulls though.

Also, not entirely surprising the Warriors lost G1 and G2 (they suck on the road). We'll see what they do with G3 and G4.

Kings were a favorite to be upset in the 1st by whomever they were playing though. Nice to see they didn't lose to one of the worst road teams in the NBA.

I read through it, and yeah... I don't know if I would say most thought the Kings fucked up. I think I just saw Gus imply that it was a better trade for the Pacers. But most didn't even acknowledge it because the Harden trade was the bigger story.

Kudos to Knox for thinking the Kings could be a playoff team, but I don't think people were really trashing the Kings for the move haha. At least not on here.

Draymond suspended for game 3. Sabonis may not play cause his ribs hurt.

Was a lot of Halliburton love (still is), but not too many said it was bad for Sacramento.
