It's entirely possible that our front office wouldn’t have been as successful as Indiana’s — even if building around Tyrese was the easier path. But I’m absolutely convinced that if they had chosen to keep Tyrese, the potential for a smoother and more sustainable run at contention would’ve been...

Just no. Haliburton thrived in every context—playing alongside Fox in Sacramento, without him, and now as the clear leader in Indiana. We can't say the same for Fox. His numbers dipped when Haliburton was here, and while we’ll see how things unfold in San Antonio, the early signs aren’t exactly...

Absolutely — with Sabonis at 28 and LaVine at 29, this is the most sensible approach. If they were closer to 35, I’d fully agree with tearing it all down. But given where they are in their careers, we still have a meaningful window to push for a deep playoff run. That kind of success could...

What would the Kings have to give up to get Dyson Daniels?

Couldn't agree more. I've been heavily criticized on this forum for my negative takes on De’Aaron Fox—especially two years ago—but reality always finds a way to assert itself. The decision to build the team around Fox and make him the franchise player will likely go down as one of the worst in...

I get better vibes from Perry than I ever got from Monte. To be a successful GM, you need to be excellent at personal relations — and that’s where Perry truly excels. With Monte, I always felt he was great on the analytics side but lacked that key skill. We’ll see how everything plays out.

Patience. If at some point Devin Carter consolidates as our starting PG, everything would change. We still have a lot of talent — we just need to find the right tuning.

I couldn't be happier seeing Fox go. The guy simply does not play winning basketball. He is a terrible leader and a selfish player. He only played defense when he felt like it (which was almost never). The Kings have actually been much better without him, with Monk running the point and Ellis...

In this series (when it really matters) he has only nailed it in game 1. I am not here because I am happy that we have lost. And I am not a troll. I comment this because I am really pissed off. I am just not so optimistic and idealistic as some of you are. I am just realistic.

5-19 FG, 6 Asists In the most important game of his life. I am sorry but but I expect a lot more from a player with a $163 million contract.

We don't have a true superstar. That's it. And that will be the problem going forward. Today Curry 50pts ...

Kobe Bryant won a NBA ring with a broken finger.

Fox 5-15 FG Huerter 1-7 FG Sabonis 7 Reb Looney 20 Reb Nothing else to explain.

This is the time when true superstars step up. Unfortunately neither Fox nor Sabonis are. Keegan Murray is our only hope going forward.

Maybe is Monte who still does not want to extend the contract. I imagine that the better the record the better contract he will be able to sign ...
