ISAIAH THOMAS.. u guys got a helluva player here and u will soon find out, believe that!!

[Gunshot]

Heard nothing but good stuff about Thomas.....I'm exited to see him in action

[SuperSonics187]

I don't have a NBA team anymore (lol) so I basically just follow UW players =p and Thomas is 1 of my favs so I'll be following the kings a lot this season so I joined up on this board

Welcome here. We used to have two other UW players on the team

[DCKingsFan]

We need 10 of those shots per year from him...

[SuperSonics187]

yeah spencer hawes (1 and done from UW ) and John Brockman?? I think he was on the Kings

@DCKingsfan LOL pretty sure Tyreke prob taking your late game shots.. But I can tell you this, Thomas is a gamer.. He really become a pure PG during his junior year.. Each year he progressed both defensively and on his outside game.. as a freshmen he basically just drove it and it's weird because he CAN dunk lol but he doesn't.. But I'm hoping he can get in 15 maybe 20 mins a game this season :)

[DCKingsFan]

Just saying, we don't really have a closer... :)

I think he will need to battle for his minutes and be a bit lucky.

[SuperSonics187]

well looking at the depth chart.. the guards are Evans / garcia and Jimmer / Thomas.. I'm assuming Evans might play some at the 1? Jimmer played like a 2 in college with that score first mentality.. where as Thomas would be more of a pure PG looking to give the ball to others and running the offense.. but you would prob know more than me about this team :)

[Eze]

Evans should play most of his time at the 1. Jimmer's way too short to play SG effectively - but if they could find time for Pooh, they'll find time for Thomas. Think Honeycutt might be the odd man out in the rotation for a while. More like 8-10 for Thomas I'm thinking though.

[Gunshot]

You know Westphal...Thomas will look like an All-Star and then sit on the bench the next 20 games

Thomas has been having a good scrimmage today - as has Hayes. Jimmer's done well too but apparently needs to learn how to not throw jump passes lol

[SuperSonics187]

omg westphal is your coach?? lol he was the coach for seattle after george karl lol.. was garbage then

I like honeycutt.. saw him a lot in college as well.. Jimmer I haven't seen enough of him to make my own opinion on him yet.. I think defensively he may struggle where as Isaiah (even though he is 5'7 or 5'8) will be good defensively because he is strong (think nate robinson) and he is quick .. also he played bigger guards his entire career in college

[SuperSonics187]

@ Eze.. where are you watching the scrimmage at? or hearing about it ?

[Eze]

Couple of the King beat writers are tweeting about it, well, were. Scrimmage is over now.

[Eze]

Also, in case you were curious, Thomas signed a 3 year deal with the Kings too - pretty big deal for the last pick in the draft.

[SuperSonics187]

I need to find a good place to watch streamed games online for when the season starts

[SuperSonics187]

Yeah eze.. I saw that when Thomas tweeted that he signed $ .. I'm tellin you.. he was a steal as the last pick of the draft

[Gunshot]

There is room for you here.....just a slight name change and we will accept as one of our own

[SuperSonics187]

LOL.. this is the closest I have been to a team since the sonics left to oklah city... 1 step at a time lol Also what is the current situation with the kings being in Sacramento ? They were almost moved last year correct ?

[Gunshot]

probably a 75% chance they stay
All depends on Arena funding

but you wouldn't know anything about such issues...lol

[SuperSonics187]

well that's kind of what happened in seattle.. except the owner sold the team and the new owner wanted a new arena but wouldn't accept anything the city offered and the contract was up and basically the city took a buy out and they relocated to Oklah City lol.. The Sonics name and all of the banners stayed in seattle though .. So I'm not sure if the kings situation is different or what

[Eze]

Clay Bennett was a fraud and just wanted to move the Sonics to his home state. Shameful the NBA let it happen - they knew what was up.

I would contend that the Maloof's started down the D-Bag road themselves last year

[PackfanMatt_12]

Thomas was actually my favorite of all 3 draft picks. Love his heart, work ethic, and clutch gene. Look forward to seeing him in "Insert Name Here" Arena. As for staying in Sacto, as of right now there are still alot of plans going on for a new arena. Donations have been made, more constructive talks, but still far away

[Eze]

I would very much agree with you lol

What does the "187" in your SN mean?

[Eze]

"Cause it's 187 on a motherfuckin cop." ? lol

[SuperSonics187]

@Eze I agree.. David Stern didn't do anything about it ha

@Nuraman doesn't mean anything really hah.. I use Seahawks187 on ESPN boards for the seahawks etc I guess it could have a few meanings

[nuraman00]

"Cause it's 187 on a motherfuckin cop." ? lol

I was wondering if it could be related to that line too, but I didn't want to assume, so that's why I asked.

But you know me, I ask random questions about other posters anyways.
