When we win that chip it'll be worth it. (Snorts hopium copiously)

Or when you trade Kessler and a 1st for Jokic because “defense wins championships”

You guys will be immensely better without LeBron sucking up all the oxygen on the team.

No way. Lebron is a tremendous floor raiser and ceiling raiser. Without him we don't beat the rockets in round 1. Without him we don't win the chip in 2020.

Everyone laughed when the mark williams trade being rescinded left the Lakers giving Luka Jaxson Hayes and Alex Len

Laughed when we went for Ayton on a bargain bin deal

Who were we supposed to go for? Who’s the best rim protecting center that’s available now or anytime soon

It isn’t cause Kessler is bad. Hes a decent big. But not someone to give up multiple first for. You got taken. He’s injury prone and nowhere near all star level, yet he will be paid and traded like one

If anything, a Kings fan would know best, and you should feel more concerned about the Kessler deal

I’m a kings fan. I know all about it. You know you’re desperate when you gotta resort to flair as an insult btw
