There's a lot of luck and development involved, but I don't think that's the case for Robinson. Looking back at his Kansas stuff, it's blatantly obvious that he's going to be terrible in the NBA. He was terrible at making shots that weren't dunks and scored solely based on overpowering people which was definitely never going to happen in the NBA. His defense is awful as well. There are guys who turned out terrible who I liked that I don't feel that bad about liking, but looking back on Thomas Robinson, I don't understand what I, and NBA teams, possibly liked about him.

Won't be fooled by production that's from beating up on kids way smaller than the prospect if the player is going to be undersized in the NBA again I guess.

 

[darkside31337]

Really wonder what the hell the Rockets can even get for him. Not even Wizard is getting a first back for him.

 

[Colonel Nasty]

A shit teams second rounder. Why wouldn't they take a flyer on TRob?

Yeah probably this. My guess is the Bobcats will take a chance.

 

[Colonel Nasty]

Yeah probably this. My guess is the Bobcats will take a chance.

I still believe he can contribute. He's shown flashes and can be a good rebounder. What's crazy is that we're keeping Asik.

 

[DY_nasty]

Yeah probably this. My guess is the Bobcats will take a chance.

Mullens for TRob

Cho pls

 

[exarkun]

Fuck Dwight. Feel bad for t-rob. I wanted him to be good with some development. But he just hustles and rebounds with limited D. The Rox need a PF more than anything.

 

[DY_nasty]

We can still save TRob

 

[Colonel Nasty]

Tjones/Dmo/GSmith/Trob/#BeWell

Someone had to go.

 

[Knux-Future]

TRob has a great story too...

fuck I'd take him...mainyl because he can't be any more free than our bigs..

i'd only give up a second tho lol.

 

[1871]

Thomas Robinson is just a fantastic rebounder. Extremely active. Can't believe people write him off already.

We don't have a second

You gotta take the gamble for AmeriDirk if you're Houston though.

He's the worst scorer in the league and doesn't really defend.

 

[dalVlatko]

Pick 31 or 33 for T-Rob

Varejao/Noel/Zeller
Thompson/Zeller/T-Rob

Not bad

 

[DY_nasty]

the worst scorer in the league.

This isn't like you

 

[1871]

He's the worst scorer in the league and doesn't really defend.

That's not even hyperbole, I don't even know how to answer to that. He's far from that. He'll be a solid 10/10 guy in no time. Stop acting like he's Vesely.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Thomas Robinson finished 454th in scoring efficiency this year while averaging 4.8 points per game. Nothing I saw from his games suggested he's better than those numbers. He put up league-bottom numbers, this isn't remotely hyperbole.

We just....got him though

 

[exarkun]

Worse than Ish Smith? Austin Rivers?

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Worse than Ish Smith? Austin Rivers?

Rivers was more efficient despite having to create his shots.

 

[1871]

Thomas Robinson finished 454th in scoring efficiency this year while averaging 4.8 points per game. Nothing I saw from his games suggested he's better than those numbers.

He's a rookie.

BTW I know offensive efficiency, i know overall efficiency as calculated by nba.com, but "scoring efficiency"?

 

[1871]

Rivers was more efficient despite having to create his shots.

Interior players don't create shots? It's not all slashing you know.

And Rivers shot 37% (55% from the line) I really have no idea how you calculate your scoring efficiency, but it must be one heck of a formula

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

He's a rookie.

BTW I know offensive efficiency, i know overall efficiency as calculated by nba.com, but "scoring efficiency"?

Points per Possession on Synergy. 454th was a misprint though, it's 425th.

And it's hard for me to believe he's going to get remotely good when he shot less than 46% on layups as a big man.

 

[thekad]

Yeah probably this. My guess is the Bobcats will take a chance.

 

[Psychological Intellect]

LMAO @ at that gif, lololol

 

[Zeus Molecules]

lol

 

[Liquidsnake]

Let's sign and trade Dwight to Golden State for their whole team.



Every time I post here the heat win. I'm hoping that trend does not continue.

 

[pilonv1]

Let's sign and trade Dwight to Golden State for their whole team.

child please. You'll be lucky to get David Lee or Bogut and Jefferson/Biedrins

 

[StickSoldier]

I guess the Mavs aren't going to get either Dwight or Paul Bummer

 

[thekad]

We can still save TRob

TRob and #34 for that Detroit pick

[DY_nasty]

League sources confirm the Kings have agreed to a four-year deal with Warriors assistant Michael Malone to be their head coach.

welp

 

[Rodeo Clown]

Why do the Kings have a coach before they have a GM?

 

[Psychological Intellect]

wrong thrad

 

[Hydrogen Bluebird]

so, is Mike Malone a good hire?

 

[pilonv1]

so, is Mike Malone a good hire?

Probably the most respected assistant in the league.

Jackson may be on his own next season.

 

[Adam Blade]

The Los Angeles Clippers reached out to Jeff Van Gundy to get a preliminary sense of his interest in discussing their head-coaching job, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.

Jeff Van Gundy has worked in broadcasting since leaving the Rockets in 2007. There was no discussion of setting up an interview, nor any real gauge of whether Van Gundy holds interest in the job, sources told Yahoo! Sports.

Those close to Van Gundy believe that he is open to considering a return to coaching for the right opportunity.

plz no byron scut plz no byron scut plz no

 

[Talon]

He's the worst scorer in the league and doesn't really defend.

Paging Royal Ivey. Paging. Royal. Ivey.

Marc J. Spears ‏@SpearsNBAYahoo 1m
Monta Ellis' potential interest in joining @SacramentoKings as a FA became much stronger with hiring of Mike Malone as coach, source told Y!

Marc J. Spears ‏@SpearsNBAYahoo 35s
While with GSt,Monta Ellis gained a great deal of respect for Malone's basketball IQ, ability to teach & easy way relating well with players

lol Samurai I'm so sorry

 

[SamuraiX-]

Holy mother of Christ PLEASE NO

lol Samurai I'm so sorry

All the second tweet tells me is that this Mike Malone clown had no problem in letting Ellis be free and chuck to his heart's desire.

FFFAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCKK

 

[pilonv1]

Ellis, Thornton, Evans, Cousins

lol

 

[Adam Blade]

Ellis, Thornton, Evans, Cousins

lol

So free.

 

[ph33nix]

I will be so happy if that happens

 

[pilonv1]

Let's not also forget John Salmons and Travis Outlaw

nofuckscity

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Mike Malone's a good coach to see if Cousins can start playing good basketball.

I don't think he can, but we'll see.

Monta+Cousins could be a tanking machine though.

edit: lol, Sterling fucked up and got CP3 pissed

Pace Cars 2014 title incoming.

 

[pilonv1]

I suppose the Kings could not tender a qualifying offer to Tyreke which would be hilarious as well

 

[Adam Blade]

wat

 

[pilonv1]

Warriors will be undisputed kings of Cali next year it sounds

CP3 will be a Hawk
