On the contrary, it appears we did...nothing.
Thinking Vlade is going to run around making willy nilly trades is I think ignoring the history forming up with him. Its the social media age, we get rumors of him trying in the background. but as far as actually pulling the trigger, Vlade has shown a Petrieesque ability to hold his water thus far. Maybe too Petrieesque.

Well we have to have done SOMETHING, even if that something is just finally release Farmar.
Of course this isn't like the trade deadline. The only deadline we are facing here is keeping Farmar under contract. While its more disruptive still, there really is no reason we can't just make a trade in a week, or two weeks. Its just that we will have had to release Farmar from his deal today, and he could go sign with anybody. Who knows, maybe we made an iron clad promise to him that hang around keep himself available, and we'll resign you as soon as the deal is done. Still odd though. Farmar knows Joerger from last year, but for a vet player to intentionally tie himself down to a team that MIGHT open a roster spot for him, maybe, one of these days, and even sit around sans contract/money waiting for it to happen seems odd without deeper ties to the organization. Odder still since one of the moments when he could really make a difference would have been this first 8 game stretch sans Collison.

Kings waive Jordan Farmar, Isaiah Cousins and Lamar Patterson to get down to 15 players.
Cousins/Koufos?/Papagiannis (Reno)
WCS?/Tolliver/Skal
Gay/Casspi/Barnes
Afflalo/McLemore/Richardson (Reno)
Collison*/Lawson/Temple?
?s reflect position preferences. Jones' chat today said he didn't think Joerger would end up playing Cousins and Koufos together often, notwithstanding the fact we've seen them start together for most of the preseason.

The Trade deadline is February will be the next big date.
If there is no trade of Rudy now, we will have to wait and see if someone wants to do a salary dump at the trade deadline (for expiring contracts like Gay) to net us back a rotation player.
I still think Goran Dragic will be a prime candidate to trade for in February, when Riles will want to unload some salary for the 2017 Free Agent Frenzy.

There was plenty of evidence in the Clippers game. Griffin and Jordan's athleticism was a real problem both in the halfcourt and on the fast break, and Cousins/Koufos were having trouble helping Ben guard Redick off of screens. The Kings just can't afford to put someone as slow as Koufos starting next to Boogie
The official media release (http://www.nba.com/kings/new/kings-waive-two) does not mention Patterson being waived. Of course, there was never ANYTHING official on Patterson being re-signed to my recollection. Just a single tweet that may have been a false alarm - and this official release NOT mentioning Patterson makes that seem to be even more likely the answer (that Patterson was never re-signed in the first place).
