    [KINGS] Comments that don't warrant their own thread (Redux)

    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...

    [KINGS] Comments that don't warrant their own thread (Redux)

    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...

    [KINGS] Comments that don't warrant their own thread (Redux)

    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...

    [Trade] Warriors have obvious Jonathan Kuminga trade demand after latest Kings reports

    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...

    [KINGS] Comments that don't warrant their own thread (Redux)

    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...

    [Trade] Warriors have obvious Jonathan Kuminga trade demand after latest Kings reports

    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.

    Keon Ellis

    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...

    Doug McDermott, Kings reportedly agree to one-year, $3.6M free-agent contract

    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...

    [Game] [VSL Championship] Kings vs Hornets, 7/20/2025 7pm Pacific 10pm Eastern (ESPN)

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

    Welcome Maxime Raynaud

    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.

    Welcome Nique Clifford

    A thousand times yes. If they keep DDR then Keegan must play a bigger offensive role, despite DDR and his 17 shots a game. In such a situation, Christie has got to prevent Keegan from deferring to DDR. It's Keegan's time to shine. NOT DDR!

    It may be all of the above. I agree about the floater. If you're a point guard in the NBA it's an absolute must to have a floater.

    It's not really planned. It's the end result of not getting separation from his defender.

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

    I think I've come to accept he's not really a point guard. Much more of a tweener. Doesn't have the super NBA quicks to consistently separate from his man. Too often I've seen a much longer defender stay with him like fly paper and then he's relegated to try to post up as a 6'2" player in the...
