At what point does Sacto say "this mix of players suck, and we have to make drastic changes?"
They should have said it a couple of years ago. I guess they had some hope that players like Isaish Thomas and Cousins would improve this season, but they've actually gotten worse.
Aaron Brooks was a nice pickup, but Thomas Robinson, the 5th pick, hasn't done much. The team's going nowhere on the court, and probably somewhere as a franchise.
Besides, Evans, Cousins, and maybe Thompson, there's not a lot there. I've always liked Aaron Brooks, who would be an excellent backup to Rondo, and is affordable at $3m. Thornton can't find the rim this season (40/32% shooting). Robinson isn't going to help the Cs this season.
If the Kings were willing to take Jeff Green, I could support a Green, Barbosa, and a pick for Evans and Brooks.
