So far the actual facts do not reflect Perry's words. I'm trying not to pay much attention to the rumors.

Lyles gone. LaRavia gone. Val gone. Common denominator: All tough guys. Say what you want about Lyles, he was a very rare commodity on the Kings - a guy willing to take a charges, get onto the floor to get a loose ball, and a guy willing to get into the opponent's face and defend his...

Frankly, if one didn't have negative thoughts about the Kings at this point I would question the unnaturalness of the response.

Took me a while to get back to this post, but..... Christie isn't going to do squat. He's a greenhorn go-along-to-get-along coach and we saw proof of it last year. Did Christie's coaching motivate Lavine to become tougher last season on defense? No. Did he motivate Lavine to be better at...

YES! I think LaVine, a guard, should average 7 rebs a game! In other words, he should DOUBLE his current output. The guy was an absolute wuss in the rebound department. He's a 6'5" phenom of an athlete and his rebounding would be double if he had the grit and the want-to to do it. He...

Streaky shooting isn't reflected in averages. As others have said, he was very up and down in offensive performance. He's not elite. He's all hat and no cattle and he and DDR annoy the hell out of me with their respective games and are not compatible with the Perry vision, and I want them...

Oh, yeah. My analysis is bias, no doubt! Bias against!😁 With the Kings he had 3.5 rebs/game. For a guy with his height and athleticism he should average double that. He's a huge underachiever in the rebounding dept. I swear I saw him run away from rebounds (leaking out as it were) much...

Agreed. They appear to be flailing around, with everything they want to do on hold until the Kuminga issue is resolved. I like the fact the Kings are not negotiating with themselves. GSW knows their telephone number and the Kings' position. So sit back and enjoy the summer watching the...

Pathetic rebounder, lousy defender, gritless, poor shot quality reflecting low BBIQ and lack of basketball intelligence/creativity, which bleeds into other aspects of his game. Fortunately, overall he does make bad shots, otherwise he'd be out of the league. But poor shot selection is only...

I'm confused about all the RFA/Bird rights/salary cap ramifications with this thing. I'm just trying to figure out what I want more - the Warriors getting totally screwed or the Kings benefiting? It's a tough call.

The Houston ball club is a good model. I'm not sold on the Durant acquisition either, but starting several years ago a fan of the Rockets could get excited about the future because of the young long athletic talent they were acquiring, as well as a tough coach to mold them. That's all I want...

Makes me miss LaRavia that much more. Oh, those were the days...

This I don't agree with. Opportunity costs seem to be consistently undervalued. If at the beginning of the season DDR is still on this team and getting priority minutes over Murray like he did last year I will go ape****. And I don't want to hear about DDR getting those valuable touches late...

I'm going to be interested to see if on defense Charlotte pressures the ball like Toronto did and how the Kings counter.

And I was disappointed against Toronto that the Kings did not use his passing skills to cut off of him and alleviate the pressure on the ball. It was all dribbling by the Kings and it nearly lost them the game.
