Thornton has been terrible this season but he hasn't been given a fair shake because of McLemore.

@daldridgetnt: Nets, Kings complete trade of Marcus Thenron for Jason Terry and Reggie Evans. No picks involved.

Nets get a scorer off the bench and Kings gets a decent power forward along with a washed up Terry

So you replaced a terrible bench player for a terrible starter, who will probably produce no better as a bench player ? While also losing Evans and his defense/hustle ?

Bad season or not MT is a lot better than Terry. Nets literally had no back up 2 guards and now just acquired a decent young one.

Reggie hasn't done anything this season at all. Even when given time. He's a throw in for salary reason. He's not a loss at all. Mirza Teletovic is a lot better than him

I agree with you. Terry is dog shit.

Surprising about Evans, though. I thought he would have been at least more effective for the Nets. Oh well, if you guys do get Jordan Hill... then it would be a much better acquirement.

Well to make it a little more easy to understand for ya. Reggie's hustle and rebounding.... Especially rebounding, last year was huge and helped full a hole. Now that Lopez is not playing and KG can rebound pretty well. There is really no need for Reggie. Blatche and Teletovic provide offense KG rebounds and defends. Odd man out... Reggie. He wasn't good at defense and had no offensive game at all. All he had was his rebounding. With no brook and having KG it isn't worth playing Evans.

Don;t worry because Durant is coming to play with your empty roster (+Deron) in 2016. Not the Lakers with a possible top 5 pick and space, not his own team with piles of young stars and his own personal robin, He's coming to co-star with Deron and all the minimum salary help. :cheers:

So the Kings get a washed up, shell of Jason Terry, and the NBA's dirtiest player that plays a position they're already clogged at (neither were contributing as it was) for Marcus Thorton, an occasionally really good scorer. Why'd the Kings do this? Cap space or something?

Miles and Miles
02-19-2014, 04:41 PM
Money deal for the Kings. Got rid of Thorton's terrible contract and saved a few $$$. Split into smaller deals that are a bit more trade-able. Thorton has been terrible this year and just glad to have him out of the rotation. Hopefully Jimmer gets some of those minutes at SG.

Thornton doesn't play defense. He's being brought in to give us some youth and scoring off the bench. Attempt at defense is a bonus, but asking for it is too much. I think of him as adding another Lucious Harris (though I don't believe you were a fan during those times). Hope he has Lucious' consistency/confidence.

As for OP joking about this, he really isn't. He's dead serious, just read his past posts regarding the Nets. Maybe he is an alt account, but you really think people are going sit by and let anybody say anything and get away with it ? Especially when their not joking ? Hell no.

Woj is saying its been finalized.

Thornton has been terrible this season but he hasn't been given a fair shake because of McLemore.

You can argue the same for McLemore. Since the Rudy trade it really came down to give each of them limited touches and stunt the growth of one player with high potential, while tryning to squeeze the productivity out of another player who really is a finished NBA product.

The Kings are smart to do this, I think it has more to do with McLemore than it does with having to acquire someone in exchange for Thornton.

Miles and Miles

Thorton got 24 minutes per game. How much does he deserve when he can't play offense or defense? He was given WAY too much the last 2 years.

cant argue with this. in the few games where gay and cousins were both out, thornton was terrific. why? because he got a lot of shots. thats the thing with him and always has been. hes a volume shooter/scorer. he needs a lot of shots to put up a good amount of points.

he'd fit well on a team like the raptors, SA, and blazers where ball movement is a staple of their offense. i havent watched enough nets games to know if he'll fit in or not.

Thornton had a 42 point game this season. He's definitely a great scorer. Our second unit needs to badly defend though. Our second unit is full of scorers but nobody is willing to defend on that unit, except for Plumlee. Hopefully we can improve on that.

Shit deal for both teams but
I kinda agree. But ultimately, I like this deal for the Kings. In fact, this is the first trade done by D'Alessandro this season that I instantly thought "nice..." (you know me, i didn't like the DWill or Gay trades initially).

I look at all the positives like this:
- The Kings got rid of Thornton. He was decent when he tried, but his contract had to go yeah.
- frees up more time for McLemore to develop
- even if Terry isn't his old self, gives the Kings needed combo-guard off the bench. Besides him, there's just streaky Jimmer and solid, but underdeveloped Ray McCallum Jr. Plus Terry is a veteran, something this team needs
- Reggie Evans. been quiet this year, but I think we all know what he is capable of - rebounding and defense - 2 things Malone's system needs a lot. Sure there's a logjam at the 4F (JT, Landry, Derrick Williams kinda, Acy kinda), but Evans can still find decent specialist minutes when needed.

I agree with all of this. Hopefully Gay doesn't resign

I think Thornton is a solid role player if you guys plan to rebuild/surround Cousins and contend.

ffs Reggie Evans is 33 and Terry is 36. Why not wait to see if Thornton breaks out?:confusedshrug:

Been waiting for him to break out of this funk for 2 years. How long should they wait?

Evans and Boogie is a bad ass as you can combination for every frontline in the league...

...I hate Terry for his celtic days but besides that he is a washed-up example right now.

Dude wtf? Reggie Evans could really help a playoff team.

Yea, but them less so.

And they probably don't wanna be seeing him in the playoffs, either.

Heard they are after Baby Davis after his buyout.

Pelicans dropped their interest for Hill, which leaves the Nets...However Nets wanted a 2nd round pick.

Probably could. The nets core players can get cold really really quickly. Having him off the bench should save the nets ass a lot more often

None of this makes sense to me, it's like we're trying to add on pieces to make a playoff run

Jason terry ? Reggie Evans ? Adds zero value to our team

We couldn't unload Thornton for an expiring on a team looking for shooting off the bench? He would of been an amazing fit in OKC

Sacramento kings -- only bad team trying really hard to not get a top 5 pick in this years draft

And yet we are still a lock to get it cause the team shows up 25% of the time
