    There is no topic

    Capt. pretty much nailed the Davis biking experience. Davis is filled with small eateries, so the competition would discourage opening a similar one there. The home/apartment prices are high in Davis and the city council is anti-growth as well as quite liberal. Schools are well above average if...

    Sabonis vs Fox?

    Nailed it.

    [News] Scott Perry is the new GM of Sacramento Kings

    Perry must have had Mike Brown in mind for that post. It is a decent postulation about why Brown has had such short tenures as a head coach.

    [Trade] The Best Knicks Trade And Buyout Candidates: Former DPOY, Elite Shooter, Backup Playmaker

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

    Welcome Nique Clifford

    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...

    [Game] [VSL Game 2] Kings vs. Bulls, 7/12/2015 5pm Pacific 8pm Eastern (NBATV)

    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...

    Summer League

    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...

    [Trade] Heat Predicted To Land $73 Million Regressing All-Star In Colossal 3-Team Trade With Lakers, Kings

    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...

    Potential Free Agent/Trade/Sign Tracker, '25-'26 Season

    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...

    Welcome Maxime Raynaud

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

    Top NBA Free Agent Reveals Five Potential Landing Spots

    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...

    [NBA] The 2025 Finals

    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.

    Laravia “could see going back as an option”

    "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.

    [Game] Play-in Tournament 9/10 game: Kings vs. Mavericks 16 APR 2025, 7pm PT/10pm ET (ESPN)

    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 Tyrese Ellis

    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...
