4-14 now.
Buddy had a good game -- 26 points on 8-of-17/5-of-9 shooting, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and a block -- in the Kings' win over Memphis tonight.

Crazy that Sacramento is still on the fringes of playoff contention after their long losing streak. It shows how much weaker the bottom of the West is than recent years. I think they are way too inconsistent to make it, but they are fortunate to not be completely out of the picture.

Kings have a shot at winning 3-4 in a row though. Play: Pelicans, GS, Suns next.

Speculation is that the Hawks have offered a 1st round pick to get Drummond from the Pistons. Help may be on the way.

I'm a big fan of Trae, and believe he will continue to be a great representative for OU basketball. I was especially impressed to see him in Columbia, SC in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, and hope he continues to attend OU games schedule permitting. His offense is so much further along than I anticipated. I stand by previous comments that Trae would not be the player he is right now had he gone to a Blue Blood program because he would have never had the autonomy he had at OU.
All that said above, he still has a LOT of work to do defensively to become even an average player on that side of the ball. He doesn't need to be Walt Frazier, Dennis Johnson or Gary Payton, he just needs to be someone who is not a liability defensively. Once he becomes an average defensive player, he'll be considered one of the top 5-10 players in the NBA.

Blake Griffin's days in Detroit are probably numbered. He hasn't really played bad when he's been healthy but his knees may just be done at this point in his career. He's had a great NBA career with nearly 22 points per game. They are looking to trade pretty much Griffin and Drummond if they can get a good deal for either.
I think they'll trade Drummond, but Blake's mounting injuries, high salary, and the fact the contract runs through 2022 makes him much harder to trade. I guess we'll see, but he needs to be on the court.
Might be doable if there is a contending team that has a bad contract Detroit is willing to eat. Not sure what team that would be, though.

nobody tries to downplay his talent.
They question his style of play at OU and if it was good for the team.
