ya JT was a good signing, and James Johnson is a lot better than anyone weve had at sf.

Thomas Robinson is good and bad in summer league. his athleticism and quickness are shining he's a lot quicker than most people and can run the floor. honestly he might need to spend some time at sf, he can slash and pivot and elbow but he had a hard time banging with the bigger guys, his lack of height and overall size really showed, he got absolutely destroyed by Robert sacre. I could see us using some trob, JT, cousins lineups, if trob can develop his shot consistently he could be a hybrid 3/4

The thing I like about getting Johnson is he's on the last year of his rookie contract, so he's not getting ridiculous amounts of money, and he also gives the Kings a somewhat proven option at the 3 for this year. If they like what they see with him they can extend him and finally have a set in stone 3, or if he bombs, then all that happened was a 2014 2nd rounder was lost and they can take a younger 3 with more potential in the draft (if they're high enough in the lottery).

I'm not so hot on T-Rob being a tweener type player, I sick of drafting all these talented players and never having 1 solid position for them. No one knows where Tyreke will be (best suited as a 1, but I digress), Cousins has split time between the 4 and the 5, Jimmer is a sub 1 or 2, etc. I'd rather just have Thomas stick to 1 position and work on his game from there, that way we know how to build around him in the future based on his strengths and weaknesses.

Johnson is a good defender. Put Evans, T-Will and JJ in and we might actually have some good perimeter D for once.

Ugh. So I guess Tyreke isn't moving back to point. And Jimmer isn't going to get any PT this year.

It makes no sense to me how Garcia and Salmons are still on the team but Whiteside gets waived for not doing so great in the summer league.

I've tried to get a feeling of this team's train of thought for the past 3 years, and every time I think that I have a bead on it, they do something stupid like this...

Seriously, who do they expect to play defense this year? Hassan was raw and fragile, but at least he had a chance to alter shots, seeing as how all he did at Baylor was play defense. Sure, Johnson is good, Tyreke is meh to say the least, but this team is a bunch of scorers and athletic big men who can't play a lick of defense...ugh...
