I was a bit shocked to see that they have pulled as far out of reach as the Nuggets who I thought were looking pretty secure at the top a few nights ago.

This might sound crazy to some, if not most...But I actually like our chances with THIS roster moving forward more than I ever did with the roster at any point during our last playoff run.

I am not sure I have hit the excitement level I did when we pulled the trigger on Bibby but it's feeling more real than the first year or two right now because there doesn't seem to be a will he or won't he with Domas who seems like he loves it here.

Yeah might be scary to some fans that he's not going to sign an extension early because of the money and he'll "hit UFA" but I would bet a significant amount of money he's not going anywhere. The only thing I could see screwing this up is if Vivek doesn't pony up for Monte and we get ANOTHER new gm with a coach he didn't hire and the FO turmoil is back

I'm not going to argue against your statement here because Mike Bibby, hands down, was, and still is, my favorite Kings player of all time (well, at least ever since I've been a Kings fan). But, to your later point, this feels more real RIGHT NOW, which is actually still pretty early in THIS PHASE of our "rebuild", than it did in the early stages of our previous run.

Which is also why, to an extent, I made my comment. This feels like a team that has been built so freaking fast, that one can only hope that the best is yet to come.

Theoretically, it should be. Our core actually pretty young:

Sabonis: 26
Fox: 25
Huerter:24
Keegan: 22
Monk: 24
Davion: 24

with the old man of the bunch being Harrison at 30. And if we're able to keep this thing together, they're only going to continue to improve as they get more experience and reps in Brown's system.

It's funny I always say that Domas is more Vlade than Webber, just in terms of gluing the offense together, but I just looked it up and Vlade turned 31 in Feb of 99.

Depending on how far we go this year HB will turn 31 during our playoff run or during our offseason.

So if we want to keep him here, he's good for a whole glory years long run.
