Toney Douglas sparks big fourth quarter comeback as Kings beat the Clippers 116 to 101

Sactown Royalty — It’s Tony Douglas’ life!! We’re just living in it!! — Eduardo Montes (@ed_m7) March 20, 2013 I'm on record as hating the trade that sent Thomas Robinson to the Houston Rockets for Patrick Patterson, Cole Aldrich and Toney Douglas. I called it a short term fix for a team building for the long term. I still stand by that. I overlooked however, the potential impact these additions have on the team for the long term. Patrick Patterson has been exactly what we expected: an efficient scorer who works hard on both ends of the court. But I don't think any of us expected Toney Douglas or ...

Cousins ejected in Kings' loss

Sacramento Bee — DeMarcus Cousins looked confused, as if to say, "What did I do?" Kings center DeMarcus Cousins and Milwaukee forward Mike Dunleavy exchange glares in the third quarter Sunday. Kings guard Toney Douglas, far left, tries to restrain Cousins, who was ejected for the fourth time this season. He leads the NBA in that department. Kings guard Tyreke Evans reacts after missing a desperation three-point shot that would have beaten Milwaukee on Sunday. Jimmer Fredette had intentionally missed a free-throw attempt and grabbed the rebound but was unable to get off a shot.

What Are You Selling?

Sactown Royalty — I needed time to process Wednesday night's trade of Thomas Robinson, Francisco Garcia and Tyler Honeycutt to the Houston Rockets for Patrick Patterson, Toney Douglas and Cole Aldrich. I couldn't write coherently about it. Anyone who follows me on Twitter has a pretty good idea of how visceral my initial reaction was. But now that I've had some time to cool down, I still can't make sense of it. An old phrase in sports is that you're either selling wins or you're selling hope. It's been a long time since the Kings could be sold on wins. Kings fans have been buying hope for years. D...

Thomas Robinson trade: The final throes of the Maloofs' Kings

Sactown Royalty — I asked several people connected to the team why on Earth this happened, this being the trade that sent Kings rookie Thomas Robinson, Francisco Garcia and Tyler Honeycutt to the Rockets for Patrick Patterson, Cole Aldrich and Toney Douglas. Every single one replied that money was the driver. Because of course it is. Because until April at least, the Maloofs still own this God-forsaken operation we call a basketball team. And we know that when the Maloofs own something, they will suck it dryer than a London gin. In the great strip-mining operation that has been the Maloofs' ownership of...

NBA Trade Deadline: Kings send lottery pick Robinson to Rockets

Clips Nation — In a deal that appears to be mostly about saving money for the soon-to-be-sold-one-way-or-another Sacramento Kings, they traded Thomas Robinson, the fifth pick in the draft just eight months ago, along with Francisco Garcia and Tyler Honeycut to the Houston Rockets for Patrick Patterson, Cole Aldrich and Toney Douglas. At its core, this deal is Robinson for Patterson, and any time you're trading the fifth pick from the most recent draft for the 14th pick from a draft two years earlier (who has played more or less like you would expect a 14th pick to play, no better) it's not a good sig...

Thomas Robinson traded to Rockets; Patrick Patterson, Cole Aldrich to Kings

Sactown Royalty — The Kings traded Thomas Robinson on Wednesday in a stunning move. Robinson, Francisco Garcia and Tyler Honeycutt will go to Houston in exchange for Patrick Patterson, Cole Aldrich and Toney Douglas. In an unexpected move, the Sacramento Kings have trade Thomas Robinson, Francisco Garcia, and Tyler Honeycutt to the Houston Rockets for Patrick Patterson, Toney Douglas, Cole Aldrich, and cash. The Kings were not expected to make ant moves at the deadline, so this comes as quite a shock. Robinson was the 5th overall pick in the 2012 NBA Draft. Robinson was highly touted coming out of Kan...

NBA trade deadline day open thread

Rufus on Fire — Feel free to use this post a place to discuss all trades and rumors (Bobcats or not) as the 3 p.m. EST deadline draws nearer. In case you missed it last night, the Kings traded Thomas Robinson, Francisco Garcia and Tyler Honeycutt to Houston for Patrick Patterson, Cole Aldrich and Toney Douglas. Basically, Houston gets more young talent and Sacramento saves itself some money by costing itself young talent down the road. Well done, Kings ownership. You somehow surpass disgrace even with a foot out the door. The Rockets also dealt Marcus Morris to Phoenix for a future second-round pick. ...

Spears: Kings trade with Rockets all about "cutting costs"

The Dream Shake — In a shocker, Marc J. Spears lets us know a little bit about the Kings' motivations for trading Thomas Robinson, Francisco Garcia, and Tyler Honeycutt to the Rockets for Patrick Patterson, Toney Douglas, Cole Aldrich, and CASH MONEY. Kings move was all about cutting costs and not something management enjoyed doing, a source said. — Marc J. Spears (@SpearsNBAYahoo) February 21, 2013 If you hadn't heard, the Maloofs are cheap. Like super cheap. Also, generally awful people. In this deal, they lower their payroll commitments for the year and take home some money in the process. Given ...
