Sharing the reddit post bc the source article is on one of the worst navigable websites I've seen in a while (and maybe has been edited to turn part of the Kings quote into ellipses?). But a cool quote (edit- from Bradley Beal re off-season move)

I didn’t like Sac from the standpoint they were still a little too young, but they have amazing young guys, young pieces, and they both would’ve had to trade young pieces to get me

When's the last time we had a big coveted star say they were actually interested in coming here?

For context (for those who don't click) the quote comes from Bradley Beal regarding teams' pursuit of him in the trade market this offseason.

De’Aaron one of the stars featured in the new NBA tip off commercial. Rich Paul probably had a little to do with it but this is more proof of StarFox

Love this

Haha, in other words, he chased the ring. lol. We all know why he went to the Suns and the sorry Bradley, you didn't fetch much young talent because the value wasn't there. Now hopefully Durant and co. fall flat on their faces and the Suns watch from home as the Kings continue on in the playoffs this time around.

and he is out for game one with back issues.

This feels like it’s going to be a slugfest all year that just wears teams out. A bunch of barely over .500 teams scrapping for the playoffs. Depth could be front and center this season

I for one think the Kings will just outrun everyone, except perhaps Oklahoma, especially after the All-Star break.

I will miss most of the game tomorrow night, working. But someone needs to start a game thread.

A quick google search for "Doug Christie punch tshirt" provides some purchase options. I haven't used any of them before so I'm not about to endorse or link any of them. I, too, would be interested if anyone has a good shopping experience with one of these.

Coach Doug is so great!!!

In an excellent article in The Athletic, Mike Brown explains what he has been trying to do this pre-season. The article underscores that, yes, the Kings looked uncomfortable and out of sorts before the start of the season, and in my view, lacking cohesion. That's because Coach Brown made it that way:

He answers a lot of the questions and criticisms I have had in the past few weeks.

 

[mrlaze]

Just finished watching that. Great interview. Great coach.

 

[kingsboi]

goes to show that Coach Brown can deal with all personality types from Stephen Jacksons to Wiggins to Keegan among others and he gets all the juice out of his former players

I didn’t realize that was Steve Kerr the other night dressed as Huerter. Just thought it was some random

Kings in season tournament court. I’m guessing the Cincinnati themed uniforms will be used for these games

That will in fact be the case

Here is the full set of courts.

I fear that some of these with the deep colors are going to be really obnoxious. I have my concerns that playing on a red court, or on a court with harsh color transitions (e.g. Suns, Pelicans), may be a bit difficult, at least at first. I guess we'll see.

So no team has the ball in the hands of their top two guys more than we do. That's probably smart of us.

This is like a middle school art project gone terribly wrong. The colors, the fonts, the lame "logo pasted on a clip art trophy" graphics. They must have given these teams no more than an hour to come up with a final design using only existing art assets and assigned color combinations Top Chef style or something and then just published the results.

How would you like to fly to Toronto to play on a black court under floodlights? It would be like street ball after dark.

 

[mrlaze]

Yuck. For whatever reason it reminds me of playing at capitol christian on the carpet.

Don’t anticipate this going great

Can't believe it's already been one year since Bill Simmons proposed the stupidest trade of all time

It's a legit question. Would Monte have laughed? Would he have cried? Would he have thrown the phone against the wall, or would his white-hot rage have simply melted it as it sat in his hand? Would the concentrated level of stupid have collapsed into a black hole that would have swallowed the world, starting in L.A. and quickly spreading outward? What would have happened?
