The Sacramento Kings and Indiana Pacers are in advanced discussions revolving a trade that would send Bonzi Wells to the Pacers to replace the firepower lost from Peja Stojakovic’s departure to New Orleans. The reported trade would send Jeff Foster and Sarunas Jasikevicius, to Sacramento in a sign and trade for Bonzi Wells.

Sounds like a decent trades for both parties involved...

How is that good for the Kings, they got Bibby, no need for J, well and nobody needs Foster lmao, especially if you have Brad Miller... Bonzi Wells had a breakthrough postseason. I'd be pissed off as a Kings fan.

I have a feeling they're trying to ship Brad Miller...Sarunas is their new Stojakavic, he's a pure shooter, and he's going to play shooting guard...Foster is a serviceable center, this deal is pretty evened out...Remember, Bonzi only excelled in play because it was a contract season. He is one of the players who tends to do that. And he's leaving anyways, they might as well get something for it...PeACe

That behaviour is quite pissing me off >:(
It's like "I've got my money on lock for the next 5 years, why the fuck would I play with effort?" :nawty:
Why is he leaving anyways anyway? The Kings have been quite a team towards the end of the season.

I guess he wants more money than the Kings are willing to offer...

so the Pacers have Daniels and Bonzi alongside Jermaine O now, thats a pretty decent lineup thyey could be a hot team if they can play together

Indiana's GM gonna be GM of the off-season... two great trades for them imo. Looks like JO will stay in Indiana now too.

Dont forget about Bryan Colangelo
traded Rafel Arujo (finally!) and brought in Kris Humphries
got rid of Aaron Williams (brought in from the VC trade, never saw the court but cost $$)
traded Matt Bonner(who?) for Rasho Nesterovic
drafted the #1 pick Andrea Bragnani, PJ Tucker (from Texas) and signed the best GM in the Euro leagues as VP and assistant GM of the Raptors
traded for a gifted young PG, TJ Ford
brought in the "Kobe Bryant" of the Euro leagues Anthony Parker
.....
and last, but not least............re-signed franchise player Chris Bosh to a long-term deal
Bryan Colangelo=GM of the Year.........and the season hasnt even started yet
WOW :D

LOL...Relax. Let's see how the Raptors' season plays out first...Lots of people were upset about the Matt Bonner move, and as far as I'm concerned, Charlie V. for TJ Ford was a bad trade...But lets see how the seasons plays out before we fully judge what the GMs have done...PeACe
-
Toronto is now going to have the biggest frontcourt in the NBA with Bargnani and Nesterovic at 7'0 and Bosh at 6'11....The backcourt of Ford and Parker is gona be sick too!

I agree, Raptors are looking nice...We should just wait and see how they actually play though before we get ahead of ourselves and call Brian Colangelo the GM of the year...PeACe
-
Bargnani was a risky pick. Dude could turn out like Bogut. Not bad, but just not the kind of player that turns the franchise around lol. Or even worse, he could turn out like Milicic.
-
We arent looking for Bargnani to be the franchise player....We already have that in Bosh....Colangelo is just putting the pieces together....and Bargnani, is already proven, hes played tough games on the championship team of the Euro League....hes not a gamble, hes already proven....even more the same with Anthony Parker...
There was no other player in the draft who was even close to being as attractive as Bargnani....at 7'0 and can shoot the 3 and handle the rock....hes played against way better competition than anyone coming out of college in the US.......remember that
-
Yea I don't know too much about the future rookies, as I didn't care to inform myself since the Mavs always get late picks n shit. Maybe he's good, I don't know much about him. But I think the homies that picked Bogut and Milicic thought they were good as well, lol. So, let's see. But regardless of all that shit, Toronto will be a lot better next year.
-
I didn't really think Bargnani was a good selection either...Too much of a gamble, Tskitishvilli anyone? He was coming off the bench in Europe, so I don't know what makes people think he can be an above-average player in the NBA...Unless he really excells. I honestly don't see him becoming another Dirk, like people are claiming...Andrew Bynum would easily have been the first pick in the draft this year had he stayed a year for college...PeACe

Are you serious? Andrew Bynum came out of high school with no big game experience, and no experience playing tough competetion....Bargnani played a whole season for the championship team in a PRO league.....Bargnani has a wayy better game than Bynum IMO....Bargnani will start for Toronto and Bynum struggles to even see the court. And thats even with Kwame Brown playing in front of him....

Ummm, it's pretty known Bynum would have FOR SURE been a top 3 pick this year...He was going over to dominate competition in UConn before he finally decided to go pro, especially since their league is usually dominated by bigs (due to the lack of size in their division)...Bynum is gunna be something, you can tell when you see him owning the Summer League at the age of 18...PeACe

As a Pacer fan I really want this deal to happen but also Im gonna miss Foster and Sarunas. LOL at people saying the Kings are getting nothing in return, Sarunas was the best player in europe who won titles and yes he plays no defense but either does Bibby and Sarunas is a deadly shooter. And lmao at that fool saying no team wants Jeff Foster, dude grabs 10 rebounds a game in limited minutes, and plays great team and personal defense. Overall I want this trade to happen for Indy but I think both teams can win from this deal.
-
If you diss me, diss me by the name. Im not saying those 2 niggas from Indiana are "nothing", but compared to Wells, they are less.

Your exact words, "nobody needs Foster lmao" Im sorry but you sounded like a moron with that comment. Yeah Bonzi is better than both of them, but better than both of them combined I think not. LMAO you say Foster sucks, and I then call you on it, and then you say he just isnt as good as Wells. And Sarunas and Foster are white I dont know if you know that lol. Oh yeah and why would the Kings want Foster when they have Brad Miller?? Maybe cause Brad Miller is the most non physical, passive center in the game, just compare the two players all around game,
offense: miller>foster
rebounding : foster>miller
defense : foster>miller
intangibles: foster>miller
Miller might be the better player cause his offense but Foster has a much better all around game as he does many things Brad doesnt. Thats why the Kings would want Foster.

Don't give me that smartass talk buddy, you only gon' dig your own hole. Here's a demo:
By saying that nobody needs him and laughing, I simply disrespect him. It's not meant to be taken literally. He's not just as good as Wells, but far from as good as Wells.
Btw why do you really want this trade to happen as a Pacers fan (your exact words)? Because Wells is not better than them combined (your exact words)?
And the word nigga isn't necessarily implyin' a color, I don't know if you know that lol.
-
Foster is the kinda of player every team needs.....He doesnt care how much he sees the ball, but he works his ass off. That guy hits the offensive glass like a beast too.
-
Isn't Bonzi a free agent right now? How could the Kings trade him if they don't even have the rights to him right now.

LOL...Read the thread, buddy...Do you know what sign-and-trade is?
-
for the pacers this is a good trade , bonzi will fit in that system in indiana. sux for the kings though IMO, but i'm not complaining fuck those cow bells :P
-
I don't know if I can say "I like" this deal because I have grown to love Bonzi's game in Sacramento as do many other faithful Kings fans in the area. Also there is always a price to pay for greatness and if Geoff Petrie has to deal him, then he has to deal him, I think he has done a great job in rebuliding the Kings into a championship contender once again, and in such short time with so many moves.
I agree with Spicemuthafu*kin1 here about his boys foster and sarunas. Jeff Foster will give us everything Brad doesn't give us, and Sarunas will shoot the lights out coming off the bench behind Bibby, plus it's also good cuz im not the biggest Jason Hart fan to begin with....Will be very interesting to see what happens here, it will be tough to watch Bonzi go but at least he will go to the Eastern Conference and give the Pacers a little extra because they definitely need some experience on that young team to compete in the East. Hope to see Bonzi back in Sac Town!!!
-
I loved the fact that Bonzi could be trusted to come through in the clutch during the playoffs..Thats what we needed in Sactown. Im def not liking this deal but like dude said you gotta do what you gotta do.
