The Suns aren't trading Booker. Ishbia already said that. And they'll get something for KD, but I doubt it's a huge haul given that he's 36 with a significant injury history. His final contract could end up being an albatross.

Davion was a bad pick. Haliburton was a great pick. Keegan was a very good pick. We'll see on Devin Carter. It's a little disingenous to only bring up the misses as if all GMs don't eventually have them. As it stands I can't stomach to watch the video of PDA and Vivek in the war room for the...

True. Had the team been moved to Seatle and rebranded to the Supersonics, I'd have been gutted. I'll always be grateful to Vivek and David Stern for working to keep the Kings in Sacramento. But enough is enough. This is just blatant malpractice and incompetence.

After listening to Sam Amick's reporting on the situation I have zero hope for this team going forward. The lowlights were: Vivek was responsible for the DDR signing. McNair "would have built the roster differently". Ranadive is hoping to give Zach LaVine an extension. DeRozan and Sabonis'...

If this roster fails next season, the natural inclination would be for a rebuild. If so, I think the new GM should have an easier slate to work with. As long as McNair doesn't trade future picks, nothing else could really make a full rebuild more difficult IMO unless he's trading away the only...

Seeing what Kenny Atkinson did with essentially the same Cleveland roster as last season has me wanting the Kings to explore new coaching options. I love Doug, but if the Kings go into next season with essentially the same roster, the only improvements will come on the margins. For the front...

My thought is that this roster is fairly locked in for next season. Deebo could likely be moved, but not for a lot. LaVine would be hard to trade next season, but easier the next season when he's (presumably - he'll have to exercise his option, which I think he will) on an expiring. Sabonis...

For the more immediate future, it makes me wonder what type of game we see from the Nuggets tomorrow night against the Kings. Hopefully the "fired coach bounce" starts AFTER that game to end the season and heading into the playoffs.

Just when I'd given up on this team they go and win two tough road games. Hopefully they can finish the season strong and take that momentum into the play-in. More importantly, maybe there's hope for next season.

Agree with your first two points. Disagree on Jenkins. The reason Ilsalo is the interim HC now is because the front office brought him in from Paris Basketball and he's the one that overhauled the Grizzlies offense. That and the fact that the Grizzlies hadn't beaten a winning team since...

This is just garbage. I'm done for this season. And without major changes I won't bother next season either. Ugly basketball and ugly results

There's losing and there's being completely outclassed. The Kings put up no fight against Orlando. That's not an issue with trying to integrate new players, or guys learning the sets, or even just little glitches in timing as players learn each others' tendencies. That's just a complete lack...

I haven't watched a baseball game in years. I'll probably tune in to the 1st quarter of tonight's game and if it looks anything like the Orlando game, I'll probably use that time to play guitar instead.

I 'm largely tuned out to end this season. Unless something unexpected and dramatic happens to finish this season the Kings will likely just miss the play-in, or end up as the 10th seed where I have little hope of them winning two games to earn the privilege of getting beat by OKC in the first...

A better question might be - how can a smart guy like Vivek not realize that he's terrible at this whole NBA owner thing and sell the team after seeing the crazy money the Celtics just sold for?
