    [News] Kings and Schroder agree on three year 45 million dollar contract. S&T into Huerter TPE

    My first thought is that he's a "hockey assist" guy. I don't know if that fits with the stats, but that's how I see him. He can get into the paint anytime he chooses and pass to a guy who passes to an open player who takes the shot, but he's not a creative assist guy who delivers the pass for...

    [News] Kings and Schroder agree on three year 45 million dollar contract. S&T into Huerter TPE

    There is plenty of reason to dump them - opportunity costs. Keegan Murray needs to be a primary threat in the offense, not a ball boy for DDR. People talk about culture. Well, what is the cultural signal sent when you keep old baggage on the team because you think it's going to provide some...

    [News] Kings and Schroder agree on three year 45 million dollar contract. S&T into Huerter TPE

    Are you talking about showcasing them? I think that scene is done already. To me the key thing is having a direction with the emphasis on youth. It doesn't have to be 100% youth, but guys like DDR and LaVine have got to go

    [News] Kings and Schroder agree on three year 45 million dollar contract. S&T into Huerter TPE

    You can't get real information if the vets are taking away minutes from the youngins. I can live with a rookie not being "given" minutes, but not young vets like Keegan and Ellis. Keegan can't be a 4th or 5th option on this team. Makes no sense. I'm not going to give up hope on Perry quite...

    [News] Kings and Schroder agree on three year 45 million dollar contract. S&T into Huerter TPE

    Can't have your cake and eat it too. DDR on this team is totally incompatible with Keegan's development. Christie will defer. Keegan will defer. And DDR will "do his thing." Secondarily, the same goes for LaVine and Ellis. They can't go half-ass on this. Clean up the mess and go forward...

    [News] Kings and Schroder agree on three year 45 million dollar contract. S&T into Huerter TPE

    You and me both. He's the key to what happens to this roster because of the lousy fit, the lousy defense, and like you say if he isn't shipped then Murray is going to be odd man out, which is exactly the opposite direction this team should go. I'd be selling DDR for a 2nd round pick in 2030 at...

    [News] Kings trade Jonas to Denver for Saric

    Currently with the loss of Jonas and LaRavia the Kings are less tough than they were at season's end. Will be interesting to see if Perry can make up the deficit anytime soon.

    Welcome Maxime Raynaud

    The kid is mega-smart with a double science and math major at Stanford. It's bound to assist in his development. I'm very excited to see how he progresses with professional coaching.

    10.7/game and they talked about him being I believe leading rebounder in his conference.

    Another great rebounder. I'm seeing a trend.

    [Rumor] Amick:Kings not prioritizing Lavine extension and are listening to trade offers

    This smoke probably has some fire behind it. Lavine is the anomaly in the current group of Carter, Ellis and Clifford. He doesn't have the toughness and defense of the others and if Perry is good to his word he wants toughness and defense. Perry also has previously said he wasn't a big Lavine...

    NBA Draft 2025 Open Thread

    Everything prior to Perry is irrelevant to Perry as far as I am concerned. Perry shouldn't be judged by McNair's past actions, nor by the fears and worries that McNair has engendered in the fan base. If I judge Perry, it's going to be done strictly on the actions of Perry. That's it. Let's...

    And the Champions, no less. I guess we can do business with someone other than Detroit or Portland.

    I love it. It's an effort statistic and the more we get of that, the better.

    NBA Draft 2025 Open Thread

    This is where it gets interesting. Blow it up with a MOAB? Surgically blow it up with a couple of well placed grenades? Run it back with a "point guard"? Add one or two geriatric types to DDR and Lavine for one last gasp to get into the playoffs? What is the strategy? That's what I want to...
