    [KINGS] Comments that don't warrant their own thread (Redux)

    Reports are that Mike Brown would like to have a contract extension "at market rate." According to what I have read, his contract pays $20 million total for four years, or $5 per year. That means his annual salary comes to less than any of his players except for Colby Jones ($4.14 million) and...

    Too late for that, I fear. All those games where Huerter was out and Monk never got the call...

    Malik is one of three finalists for the John Havlicek Award, together with Naz Reid and Bobby Portis. The latter two have the advantage of still playing right now.

    Tell that to Domantas Sabonis, who said, “We better keep him. I think there’s no excuse. I’ll talk to Monte (McNair) and Vivek (Ranadivé). We’ve got to keep him. He’s a big piece for us moving forward.”

    Now that you mention it, Gary Harris averaged 1.6 assists and Jalen Suggs 2.7. That is abysmal. Even Cole Anthony averaged only 2.9.

    Great interviews with Malik Monk, Coach Calipari, and a little bit of De'Aaron Fox: https://www.nbcsportsbayarea.com/nba/sacramento-kings/malik-monk-nba-free-agency-career/1727274/ Yes, the Charlotte Hornets treated Monk just as poorly as he claims. Four years for a #11 pick and only one...

    [Game] Kings @ Pelicans (Play-In Tournament) - 4/19 6:30PM PDT/9:30 PM EDT

    Vezenkov shot a respectable 37.5% from deep, better than Fox, Mitchell, Huerter, Murray, and Monk, in that order. He also shot 76.9% at the rim.

    Fox knows it may be time to part ways, depending on the market for his friend's services: “I’m happy for him regardless if he’s with us or if he isn’t. He knows that,” Fox said. “But at the end of the day, this is a business. You can only play basketball for so long.”...

    The Sabonis Thread

    Sabonis played like a warrior. Too bad that, in Monk's absence, there was no one to run the pick-and-roll with him. I counted not a single one against New Orleans. Perhaps the team should have Malik, or someone like Steve Nash, give a master class in how to run the pick-and-roll. It would...

    Why Isn't Sasha Playing?

    Sasha played well tonight. He can provide value to this team if the head coach will ever give him enough minutes to get in a rhythm.

    [Game] Kings @ Pelicans (Play-In Tournament) - 4/19 6:30PM PDT/9:30 PM EDT

    Lots of negativity here. Please explain to me the Kings' defensive strategy, because I can't figure it out. They played strict man-to-man until late in the second quarter, but the same guys were not always guarding the same opponent. I think three different men were on McCollum. Same for...

    [Game] Kings @ Pelicans (Play-In Tournament) - 4/19 6:30PM PDT/9:30 PM EDT

    That was the halftime score in the Chicago-Miami game going on right now: 37-47. Hard to believe that Chicago could not even muster 40.

    It would be nice if the Kings could hold New Orleans to 37, or even 47 points in the first half.

    [Game] Kings @ Pelicans (Play-In Tournament) - 4/19 6:30PM PDT/9:30 PM EDT

    I am looking at the Pelicans' depth chart. Will Herb Jones move to power forward, and Trey Murphy start at shooting guard? Also, is CJ McCollum more of a combo guard than a true point guard? As I posted early in the thread, he averages 4.6 assists per game, below the average of 5.6 for...
