Kings trying to move Marcus Thornton
[QUOTE]Marcus Thornton was moved to a bench role for three games and then left on the bench entirely with [B]two DNP-CDs in two nights [/B]this week. [/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]Scott Howard-Cooper reported Wednesday that the Kings are being [B]aggressive in trade discussions[/B], looking to offload veterans for prospects and picks.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE][B]Thornton doesn't have an attractive contract[/B], especially for someone who has played poorly enough to be eclipsed by Ben McLemore and Jimmer Fredette within the first 10 games of the season. [/QUOTE]
8mil this season 8.5mil next Maloofs :facepalm
[QUOTE]Thornton has a skill -- scoring -- an[B][U]d not every team expects to have cap space in 2014 anyways. Those will be the teams that could justify Thornton[/U][/B].[/QUOTE]

Re: Kings trying to move Marcus Thornton
He would be great on the Bucks. Imagine a SG rotation of Mayo, Neal and Thornton? :bowdown:
Thornton for Butler and Henson. Hm. Maybe Butler, Henson, and a 1st.
Re: Kings trying to move Marcus Thornton
Can't outplay Jimmer Fredette?
What team wants a player like that?
Good luck with trade discussions Kings.
:wtf:
Maybe they should consider buying him out.
Re: Kings trying to move Marcus Thornton
At least they're planning on moving him. Time to clear out the glut and commit to seeing what type of team they have.
Re: Kings trying to move Marcus Thornton
whos the back up 2 on the bulls?
jimmy butler is out for a few weeks, so maybe they make some sort of deal.
Re: Kings trying to move Marcus Thornton
Spurs could use his scoring big time. Bulls too.

Who is Marcus Thornton and why does he make $8 million a year?

Previous awful ownership group
Re: Kings trying to move Marcus Thornton
I'm expecting him to end up going to a team that's not a real competitor but wants a scorer to fill stadiums. Think he could upset the balance on a legit competing team personally.

Novak is always a tradeable player since he can shoot.
But more importantly, beggars can't be choosers.
Not a big market for guys who can't outplay Jimmer Fredette and who make 8 million.

Raptors already have trouble finding Ross enough minutes. They don't want Thornton.
And how did this guy get 8m per? :confusedshrug:
Re: Kings trying to move Marcus Thornton
This summer, the Kings are going to need to land a real small forward, and the only way to do that is by overpaying big time.
Luol Deng - 4 years, $60 million.
