    haha that is so true. My first reaction was 80s glam rock, but Stern is an excellent comparison.

      Who's Bryan Colangelo???

        He's not wrong.
        Is Rudy Gay a talent? Yes.
        Is SAC's GM trying to increase the talent on their roster? Yes.

        The only thing I can hate about his comments is that snark little remark when he said 'rather than depleting it' which was a subtle means of criticizing the direction of the Raptors in slowly tearing down and removing every stupid move he did.

          Bryan Colangelo's basketball opinion has lost all credibility. The roster that started this season took him 7 years to build (!!!!). That's right, 7 years to put together a capped out roster that wins 1 out of 3 games in a historically awful conference.

                Adding Rudy to the current Kings roster while extracting Vasquez, their only pass first player, leads me to wonder if the Kings' GM was fleeced by Ujiri.

                  If you just concluded a phone call with Masai Ujiri and at any point agreed to something...you just got fleeced

                    I think we've all forgotten how BC was able to trade Araujo, Hedo, Kapono, players who are far more inferior compared to Bargnani and Gay but with pretty much the same disguting contracts. What im trying to say is we all got excited when BC came in and did all these, and now we are all getting excited again with what Masai has done. But what really should matter is what Masai will be doing to improve this team. Sure he got rid of the contracts, but so did BC. What is crucial now is how he's going to be able to separate himself from BC through the players that are coming in.

                      i truly believe that these GMs have an unwritten code amongst themselves. "You do me this favor now and ill do you a favor down the road" type thing. Masai did this when he gave NY Melo, and now he collected by getting NYK to take Bargnani. Might be the same thing with D'Alessandro

                        BC was the one who signed Kapono and Hedo. Araujo was on his rookie deal.

                        He's terrible."

                          I haven't forgotten. BC impressed with his ability to "undo" his mistakes. Crazy thing was he spent essentially his entire time here undoing mistakes - virtually all his biggest transactions turned into mistakes that needed undoing. Hence the complete lack of progress over his tenure.

                          He also spent far too freely. By no means did I dislike all his moves and I'm definitely exaggerating a bit now (isn't that what the internet's for?), but one very regular criticism was that almost every contract he handed out was overpriced. Add that up over a few seasons and you have a low-ceiling, capped out treadmill roster. Next to a completely dysfunctional franchise (ex. Bobcats), it's about as bad a situation as an NBA team can be in.

                            Nice find. After reading the trade grades on the internet, this smacks of pro-Kings supporters trying to find somebody, er.... ANYBODY, who actually liked the trade for SacTown. And Bryan: Let it go, dude. Let it go.

                              there was a backhanded comment in their to the effect of increasing talent rather than diminishing talent...

                              And nobody said Rudy Gay wasn't talented...he is most certainly not 19.3 million dollar cap killing talent.

                                Historically awful? LOL
