Thank you for all you did here Buddy. The sacrifices will never be forgotten. Good luck to you on future endeavors.
I'll never forget those giant teeth.
But seriously. I was so happy when we drafted. Besides the '17 pick, I hate to see him go.
Wish him well. Word is the Kings really, really thought highly of him. Maybe now he gets the green light.
I would of preferred giving up the 19 first rounder to keep Hield TBH.
I think he is going to look really good a year from now.
I wish absolutely nothing but the best for Buddy. Class act, a JOY to watch play. I will be pulling hard for him.
Let's be honest, Cousins is a one in a generation type of player. There is a Hield in every draft. I love the player but he is replaceable. Good luck in Sactown Buddy, thanks for your joy on the court.
Goddamn I'm gonna miss Buddy Buckets. We hardly got to know him. At least he got to have a nice finale in the Rising Stars game before leaving New Orleans.
I, too was so excited when we drafted him. Buddy and The Brow was so catchy :hihi: Wish the best for him, hate to see him go to the Sac-Town graveyard :(
Sacto loves Buddy
They see him as a kinda top-5 player in this draft :)
also expect Pels to suck and send them top-10 pick in 2017
Poor Kings, poor Vlade
Seen a tweet about point of view with this trade.
A person expected that pairing AD with DMC won't click.
also other teams think that Pels roster is a mess..
But hey, they are Kings
wanna hear depressing pod about Kings (Sam Vecenie)

All gave some, Buddy gave buckets.
Going to have to change my screen name...Best of luck Buddy.
Great kid and ascending talent. I'm going to miss him but we just got freaking DMC!!!!!
Of course there is a risk
But You are not mortgaging your future
It is all about Buddy and two 2017 picks (late lottery/mid first and early second)
for a chance of being much better
no brainer
At worst You will have a cap space in 2018 and no more pick owed
I will miss Buddy but we finally got that alpha we have been waiting for.

Thanks Buddy, I still believe!
I hope he flourishes in Sactown, and I hope the negativity surrounding the francise atm doesnt tank him.
242 , wish you the best mate.
On another note the bahama's sponsor for fox sport might be awkward now.

Well, so sense in finishing this now. Started drawing it for my daughter because Buddy was her favorite Pelican. Love the trade for us though and I hope Buddy becomes a superstar for the Kings.
Love ya buddy. So sorry it had to be this way, but it's a business.
Go kill it with that weird franchise.
its a good move for buddy,,,he can get the playing time and develop into a good player....
yeah he had potential but this was a no brainer
Kings now have Buddy, WCS, Collison, and Afflalo. They will also have a top 5 picks (theirs), and ours as well. They aren't going to be great, but without Boogie they will finally be able to have a team again. Not saying Boogie prevented them from having a team, but his situation there was toxic and it hurt the team.
Man, I hate to lose him because I think he will be a star at some point but there is no way you pass on that deal.
I'm going to miss you Buddy and I will keep an eye on your career!
Over/under on Buddy having his first 30 point game this season now that he will probably be the focal point of an offense?
I say 80 percent chance.
Which is why I can live with the trade. They seem to think he is a star in the making and their track record of projecting SG's is so bad that it is making me rethink my projections of Buddy lol.
...Not really, but Buddy is exactly the sort of shooting guard you want in the back court with Davis and Cousins. Would of been nice to see him grow with this core.
Pretty sure someone has the rights to trade their pick with whichever is the better pick of the two this year.
Good chance ours isn't even in the lottery anymore and they don't have a pick next year.
They are truly a dumpster fire of an organization. I feel bad for Buddy.
wrong
Tyreke is 10,2, Galloway 5,2
DMC 16,9 and Casspi 2,9
this trade is fine (even without Casspi)
Buddy's salary created trade exception. as did Casspi salary
Galloway was thrown there for a purpose
Casspi as well
both teams gave those players to create trade exceptions. for both
both can use it now or later
Dell probably will use it now for Morrow/Rush etc
watch for Dell in next hours
will be fun
Tweet from Eric Pincus - cap guru
"By my estimation Kings: Cousins for Evans, Gallo + Hield - Casspi for no one thus trade exception; for NOP: Evans + Gallo for DMC, Hield TPE"
Maybe Dell wanted Casspi. Maybe wanted trade exception. Maybe Sacto wanted trade exception.
Does not matter
Dell has now ability to get Morrow type without sacrifying anything.
He has
- 2017 Pels 2nd rounder
- expriing minimum TJones deal (very valuable for PO teams)
- trade exception of 3 517 200
- probably maybe even Dante as a movable piece
The main goal is to send somewhere Ajinca
my best case is Ajinca plus Jones plus second rounder for an expiring
and using free roster spot for Cook/Lance/Chalmers
This. Philadelphia has the right to swap picks. So more probably the Kings will have a pick in the 7-10 range and the Pelicans pick in the late lottery/middle of first round. In 2019 their pick belongs to the 76ers. All this thanks to the amazing job of their clueless GM, who traded Landry and Jason Thompson to Philadelphia last year.
Give Buddy a shout out after his first game as a KING! 16 pts and a win!

Listen, I can't think of one person who should be happy that he's gone. Great kid, great attitude, good skills, but come on... We traded him for DEMARCUS COUSINS!
1st game stats:
Buddy - 16 points (6-10), 6 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, 0 blocks
Boogie - 27 points (11-19), 14 rebounds, 5 assists, 5 steals, 4 blocks
Considering Boogie is only 3 years older than Buddy, I'd say it's not even close. We saw 3 other teams in the west trade for centers yesterday. That's the effect. They HAVE to match up with us, and once we get some chemistry, our defense will be top-5, and our offense will be rolling. Give it time.
it is not even debatable. no brainer
but Buddy will have a career in the NBA
I am sorry for him - but in Sacto he may have a room for development.
Sacramento? Development?

Go get em Buddy.
Buddy looks awful. McLemore & Malachi both look better for SAC.
I'm shocked at how poor a defender he is.
SAC fans are getting even more upset now asking "this" is what we got back for Boogie???
Buddy is going to be a star. He will be a 23ppg player and will be much better next year. He looks good and I think SAC will be a good team in 2 years.
