    [Rumor] Kings Big Man Floated In Celtics Trade Buzz

    A load of horse manure and two first round picks for three years of the guy we're building our franchise around? Is Theory of Mind just not a thing for most sports fans?

    [Rumor] Russell Westbrook Expected To Sign With The Sacramento Kings

    It seems pretty obvious that this roster has little room for Westbrook as it is currently constructed. Even if we accept the departure of TD and his unguaranteed contract as fait accompli and we call DDR a SF, there's still a ton of guard depth on the current roster, even if PG isn't exactly...

    [NBA] Comments that don’t warrant a thread (JUL/TDOS)

    I honestly don't know what is more hilarious. 1) An article (allegedly) written by two Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialists, where the authors don't understand that they are reporting that Luka, who was never considered terribly athletic, had a max vertical jump in the top 3.5% of...

    The 2025 Desert Island Video Game Draft

    For my 12th pick, I'm going to take a game from another very early gaming system that got me through my childhood. At my Mom's house, we had the Atari 2600, but at my Dad's house, we had the Intellivision. Astrosmash (1981) - Intellivision Now, I'm going to admit that for the most part...

    The 2025 Desert Island Video Game Draft

    For my 11th pick I'm going to return to a franchise for which I have already taken the original game, and grab a surprisingly solid follow-up. Zelda II: The Adventure Of Link (1987) - NES With their followup Zelda effort, Nintendo retained the overhead map of the original game, but threw us...

    Wow. I figured he'd been gone for a long time. RIP.

    Yes. Let me quote the CBA and clean up a bit of the legalese. (Brackets are me changing the language, ellipsis skips over a minor irrelevance here, parentheses are in original) So the only exception there is if the second year option is exercised before the trade.

    Keon Ellis

    This is correct, but it's not that the current contract carries over, this is only a feature of one-year contracts. For example, if a player initially signed a one-year deal in 2023, then signed a two-year deal with the same team in 2024, if untraded he would have full Bird rights with his old...

    Imagine if we had to do it AND that he tanked the market for every team except the one that has drafted two point guards at #4 and #2 in the past two years!

    [Trade] New Report on Kings' Interest in Jonathan Kuminga Trade

    In terms of structure, it gets tough because of the BYC thing for Kuminga. One *framework* that does work is as follows: Kings receive: Kuminga (S&T for $25M) Rozier Warriors receive: Monk Heat receive: DeRozan The Heat and Warriors do have to touch, but that could be like dead draft...
