I'll root for KG, If he goes or if he stays. I'll root for KG, Respect the man for how he plays. I'll root for KG, He's left everything on the floor. I'll root for KG, Whether he retires or plays one or two more. I'll root for KG, He's been the team's identity. I'll root for KG, When Springfield elects the heart of the big three. I'll root for KG, Eventually he will go. I will always root for KG, Just want to say Thank you.I'll root for KG, If he goes or if he stays. I'll root for KG, Respect the man for how he plays.

This is my first fanpost and I’m still trying to learn how to work this so please bear with me! Per Chad Ford Chad Ford @chadfordinsider Kings could really shake-up the draft at 7. Heard they like both Tony Snell & Tim Hardaway Jr. a lot. Both in Sacramento today working out Let’s say we're really interested in both, my Draft Day Dream Scenario would be: Trade #7 pick to Atlanta for picks #17 & #18 Draft Tony Snell w/ Pick 17 and Hardaway Jr w/ 18 New Starting line up PG: Tyreke/IT/Douglas SG: Hardaway JR/Jimmer/Salmons> SF: Snell/Salmons/Outlaw PF: Thompson/PPat/Hayes C: Cousins/JT/Aldrich I’d be ok with trading Thornton for whatever we can and letting Jimmer be our primary back up SG. The shortest player in our starting 5 would be 6’6, possibly causing offensive & defensive nightmares with Reke’s driving and lights out spot up shooters in Hardway Jr and Snell. Snell becomes our SF of the future with a floor of Dorrel Wright and Ceiling of Kawhi Leonard. The offense can be ran through either Reke or DMC, both would be great options considering they kick the ball out to Snell or Hardaway Jr when double teamed. Please feel free to agree, disagree, or bash this scenario! This is my first fanpost and I’m still trying to learn how to work this so please bear with me!
