    [Rumor] Kings exploring trade to pursue ex-Nuggets guard Russell Westbrook

    Not sure why anyone should be surprised. In almost 20 years of Kings basketball, they really haven’t had a player who brings the same kind of cultural impact as Russell Westbrook. It was cool when GM McNair leaned into building a roster full of humble, low-key personalities, with Fox and...

    You guys are being so dramatic. I guess it tracks—ESPN and the national media have already managed to reframe it from “the pursuit of perfection in human physicality” into “pro wrestling for guys who don’t want to watch the big buff athletes’ stage show.” We used to find our drama in between...

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

    tl;dr version: Not much has changed regarding Kuminga and the upcoming free agency period despite the constant readaptation of his situation being rehashed and reported. A new report from Anthony Slater says that "Kuminga had contact with the Kings in the last couple of days, and it's the first...

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

    Despite being drafted 7th overall, GSW never really gave him a fair shot. I get it. They were still in championship mode at the time, and that’s not exactly the ideal environment for a young player who’s still developing. But plenty of title-contending teams before them have traded away high...

    [Game] [VSL Game 4] Kings vs. Cavaliers. 7/16/2025 12:30 Pacific, 3:30 Eastern (ESPN 2)

    I don't know what you are talking about. The phrase "You see what you wanna see" can go both ways. How did you know I meant what I meant? (Honestly I forgot even which side I was on upon further review now)

    Welcome Maxime Raynaud

    Max is an impressive young guy. He came across as mature and composed during that Summer League interview with ESPN—seems like he really has his head on straight. The Kings should feel great about having him on their roster.

    This is how, as a society, we came to produce a legitimate movie inspired by fan fiction exploring an erotic relationship with elements of BDSM.

    Ahh I see. I just came across it now, as I’m no longer living in the area.

    Not sure if this is the right place, or if it even matters to this forum... Delete it if no one cares or whatever. Former Sacramento Kings player Ben McLemore sentenced to 8 years in prison

    Welcome Nique Clifford

    err... no? I’m referring to the tangible, physical skill set he brings to the court. I’m not concerned with culture, it isn’t something that automatically develops just by recruiting certain types of players anyway, or the whole Coach Brown/D. Fox/Monk kumbaya thing would've worked out better...
