Keon would LOVE to play for Mike Brown (again). More bench time.

Hate to be a "Debbie Downer" (at least it is not my avatar), but this was the same thing that we said about Keegan...even after his first year in the NBA. Keegan is great, no doubt, but he hasn't been a franchise changer (yet). Under the right circumstances, it could happen. Nique has the same...

I got lucky on the Magic game since NBATV allowed it on Ch 216 (DirectTV). Although I'm not subscribed, hopefully the Bulls game will show up for taping. Perhaps NBATV is trying to drum up interest through free Summer League in hopes to get more paid subscriptions to the regular season games...

Hmm...DirectTV has the Kings vs Magic at 4:30 - 6:30 PM today on channel 216 NBATV. There is a replay at 7 PM on 654 FDFLHD. ESPN has Spurs vs 76ers today available to tape. Now, I don't subscribe to NBATV but sometimes get the feed for some reason. It is listed as being taped on my program...

Sad to say, but it would be very disappointing and upsetting to lose the emerging talent and youth on the Kings. Bargain with DeRozan, LaVine, Monk, and the end-of-the-bench guys but leave the up-and-comers here to allow the opportunity to prove what they can do. Whenever Carter, Murray, and...

It is helpful to have a forum member monitoring the European league(s) for talent. Although some of the players have had meaningful success in the NBA, it is often worth a look to see if a skill set translate(!). It also seems that often the NBA doesn't give European players much of a...

He appears to be a Mel Counts reincarnation from what has been discussed here. Not necessarily a bad thing.

It's unfortunate that a LaRavia return appears so remote. The Kings really have nothing to offer in the salary or championship potential at the moment. He has much better options elsewhere. His agent will no doubt negate any emotional attachment that he may have developed with the Kings' team...

Doris Burke is enough to cause a lack of enthusiasm from fans and casual viewer alike. It appears that her job is in jeopardy, and rightly so. I'll give her a bit of a break since she is/was a Providence Friar along with Devin Carter.

"Going back" gives the impression that he is currently "away". In other words, estranged from the Kings. "Coming back" would indicate that he feels currently a part of the organization. While subtle, the perspective is significant in his thought process.

It will be curious to see whether the "Beam" bauble will survive into next season. The uniqueness may have run its course. This is no longer the "Beam Team" in construction or performance. It will be further irrelevant if some of the offseason changes being proposed in the forum actually occur...

Keon hurt his hand in the Cleveland game on a fast break dunk…third quarter, I believe. While going back down the court he was shaking it out and looking at it for possible visual injury. That problem, and LaVine/DeRosan's hot streaks, may have contributed to his lack of taking shots against...

The King Arthur Supreme at Round Table used to be good. In the last few years they have been cutting corners on their product and I've not been there since then. The expense is also outrageous for what you get. Now, Moose's Tooth in Anchorage, AK is the place to go. San Vito Ristorante...

A couple of things stood out in tonight's game as an aside. Zack LaVine did not want to play in this game. His personal concerns were a distraction but he also didn't want to be accused of "ducking" a game against his old team. Kudos for him for giving it a try but it ended up hurting the team...

There was quite a bit of information to be gained from how this game was played. Not only how certain players performed but how missing players affect the team's output and construction. Coach Christie could use what he learned about individual players, combinations, rotations, and...
