2019-20 Midseason update
After a lackluster 8-17 start, the (my) Kings fire coach David Joerger
His replacement is (fictional I assume) assistant Trent Pederson (A off, B- def, B potential). We hire Sidney Lowe as his new ass't coach
The team responds with three straight wins and go 6-5 in the next 11 games ... and Willie Cauley-Stein goes down for a month with a collapsed lung
That's followed by TWELVE straight losses, with a couple of wins as Stein returns ... for all of 7 minutes before a broken thigh sidelines him for 6-8 weeks. From 14-22 to 16-34, so we're toast
2019-20 Trade Deadline
We deal (at their initial request)
OKC gets PG Tony Parker & SG Iman Shumpert
SAC gets SG Andre Roberson & young (77) PG Devin Dotson
We also work a three team deal
SA gets PG Elfrid Payton
CHI gets PG Yogi Ferrel & SF Josh Reaves
SAC gets Chi 2020 2nd, PF Davis Bertans
Other trades of "note" (such as they are)
MIN trades Nemanja Bjelica & a '22 1st to
PHIL for SF Reggie Bullock & a '20 2nd
OKC trades Wesley Matthews & a 2nd to
DET for Glenn Robinson III
UTA trades Joe Ingles & '22 1st (lottery protected) to
POR for Carmelo Anthony & '21 2nd
and in an amusing deal under the circumstances
OKC trades PG Dennis Schroder & '21 1st to
ATL for PG Jeremy Lin & PF John Collins
