***BREAKING NEWS***



The Kings and Lakers have just agreed to a trade that will send Pau Gasol and Nick Young to Sacramento in exchange for Carl Landry, Jason Thompson and a 2015 1st round pick.

This trade isn't a surprise though, as the Kings players were very unhappy with their lack of talent and this seems to be a huge help.

They bring in a legit power forward as well as a great 3 point shooter.

Will Sacramento players like this? Will this put the temperamental Demarcus Cousins at ease?

We will continue to update you throughout the season.

***What do you guys think?

New-Look Kings can't handle Pistons
Rough, Tough Game

[i]Well the Kings almost had the comeback of the century. Down by 19 heading into the fourth, it seemed as all hope was lost.

Then, just then, did I see an amazing glimpse of what this team was capable of. The Kings went on a 23-4 run to eventually tie the game up. They were led by the newly acquired Pau Gasol, Nick Young, and Gordon Hayward.

But then, everything snapped back into reality and we started to lose what we had just earned. We allowed 8 straight points, all off turnovers. In the end we came close, but ended up losing 113-110.

As for the stats go, we held Detroit to 34% shooting, but that doesn't really mean anything when they take 20 more shots than you. Sacramento shot 54% but a terrible 45% from the line (13-29). Detroit also had 18 offensive rebounds while we had a mere 3.

We had an amazing game from Gordon Haywar., Hayward had a monster game finishing with an exceptional 15 (yep that's one-five) rebounds! He also had 21 points and shot 7-11 from the field. Pau Gasol and Nick Young each had another 20 points and Pau managed to grab 5 rebounds. Demarcus Cousins struggled all night, only grabbing 3 boards but finishing with 16 points.

As for the Pistons, Josh Smith had 23 points, Rodney Stuckey had 20 and Greg Monroe and Brandon Jennings each had 17.

The Sacramento Kings are now 1-7, and dead last in the Western Conference. Their next game is November 17th versus the Memphis Grizzlies.

Ah, Pau. He's a great scorer and a solid defender, but he's SOFT ... DMC has to bring his nasty game with Pau there. I like Nick Young being there, he's gonna be electric off the bench. Tough loss, but good game.

Sorry guys, an updating will be coming this week. Most likely Monday.

Grizzlies Rough Up Kings
Can't handle Conley
Nick Borges | ESPN.com

Tonight was a very odd game here in Sacramento. We watched a team score 102 points while only shooting the ball 36% and 9% from three. We saw each team take 34+ free throws. We watched a PG grab 10 boards. We watched 18 embarrassing King turnovers. Lastly, we watched the Grizz manhandle the Sacramento Kings 102-95.

Memphis was led by point guard Mike Conley who had 32 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists. Zach Randolph had 14 points, 11 boards and 2 blocks. Ed Davis managed to grab 12 rebounds in 17 minutes. Marc Gasol finished with 8 & 7.

As for the Kings, they had 5 players in double figures, 3 of which had 15 or more. Rookie Ben McLemore had 20 with 3 steals, big man Demarcus Cousins had 16 with only 5 rebounds and Gordon Hayward had 15. Pau Gasol almost finished with a double double. He had 10 points and 8 rebounds.

Sacramento is now a terrible 1-8. Could there be even more changes coming? We'll find out soon.

**sorry about how long it took guys, will be having many updates this week. What would you guys like to see me do with the rest of this season? Here's some choices, leave the letter of your choosing as a reply below.

a) Stick with the current roster and rebuild through the draft

b) Make some more trades, try to become a contender

c) Possibly trade Cousins for youth/picks... Build through draft?

Thanks as always guys, let me know what you think!

[DavidTheGreat20]

IMO you should build through the draft. 2014 is a great class, and you shouldn't pass on it.
