Didn't look happy to me.
Seemed like the media manager dude leaned into his ear and said "youve been traded to new orleans please be complimentary about the city".

The longer clip does it justice when he smiles at the person who told him. https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=...&v=pgOB55b8RP4
We have the best front court in the NBA now ... Hopefully these guys can gel quickly and we can make a run for it . 2.5 out of 8th place
Don't think that was post trade news interview anyway.

I just say we have a top 3 protection on our first round draft pick we traded. That's awesome!!! Demps owned Divac on this deal!
We absolutely hosed the kings. Like one of the best trades ever.
Have him for one more season? Sweet , i guess we can have a stab at being Memphis 2.0. I guess as far as trades go, this was the second best after Paul Milsap, if we get to Memphis 2.0 level I'll be happy.
I was just about to post this. Thank you. The longer clip made me realize I've seen that interview before. It was from hours ago. Well before the news broke.
NOTHING TO SEE HERE, guys. There is no negative reaction or positive reaction to the trade in that video.
When his contract ends, can't we offer him more than anyone?
The gist is if we miss the playoffs and win the lottery, ie. get a top 3 pick, then we keep our 1st rounder in an absolutely loaded draft. And can potentially see about flipping and getting after someone like Paul George or Jimmy Butler on top of Boogie.
This would be like beating Battletoads with an audio based controller that reads inputs from a trumpet you gotta play with your feet.
Another wrinkle for the Kings, if they weren't in the top 10 they would this year's pick to Chicago. If they're not in the top 10 then the Sixers had the option of swapping picks with them. By being worse this year, that means almost certainly get to keep this year's pick that they already had. Throw in Hield from last year, and that's a swing of 3 first round draft picks. From their perspective I don't think it's quite as bad as "just one draft pick". At least, that's what I'd be telling myself if I were a King's fan. :hihi:
