Sacramento; the Maloofs are doing long term damage

Decent article regarding the trade etc from a Sacramento fanatic:

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nba-ball-dont-lie/sacramento-kings-weirdly-send-thomas-robinson-houston-rockets-040603051--nba.html

As a Houston fan I loved this trade - Morey must be laughing all the way to the bank - but can't help but feel bad for the Kings: this was a terrible basketball decision, and even worse ownership decision for the 'Sacramento' Kings.

I feel for their loyal fans.

Got to say I think Morey should get Executive of the year for the last 6 months he has had. Signs Lin and Asik for fairly good deals (for their production at the moment) and did it in a smart way so their teams could not match. Then goes out and gets the best young SG in the game for not a lot, then picks up Robinson for this. I really like all these trades and I think Houston is building a team that will be able to contend in a couple more seasons

I agree with just about everything you wrote.

Keep in mind that Houston have a history of trading for under-performing high draft picks (the NBL's own Jonny Flynn for example) so it hasn't always worked. However, this time they've gotten Robinson a lot earlier in his career than with the other players, so it is less of a risk and on the right team he could be a dominant player.

Asik and Robinson will be a formidable rebounding combo and hopefully Robinson will show his gratitude to Houston for getting him off a god-awful excuse for a team.

Just a reminder about the Hoops.com.au TSN NBA Season 2 (runs from ASG to the end of the regular season) comp - it starts shortly, so sign-up and/or finalise your team ASAP.

First games post-ASG are on Feb 19, so you will want to have your sides established by tomorrow evening I think.

We have 11 managers ready to go.

Any stragglers that still want to join:

Hoops.com.au TSN NBA Season 2 sign-up

League: Hoops.com.au
Password: none (e.g., the actual word "none")

One team per manager please. Read the rules at the TSN site and browse the related links (schedule analyzer, price movers, etc).
