He’s not worth $18M Horrible.

People are divisive on going after Kuzma because of the salary he’ll command. It’s an all-in move. I get it. But let’s look at the salaries of 3rd options for contending teams for some perspective: Tobias Harris - $38M Kris Middleton - $37M D’Angelo Russel - $31M Michael Porter Jr - $31M...

Great draft by the Kings who gained cap space while selecting 2 “potential” rotational pieces that seem to fit the “Monte Mold”- Mature, high IQ, 2-way lengthy and versatile players. This is my post draft FA wishlist that can take us to the WCF! 1. Kyle Kuzma -$27M. Decent and clutch high...

The only answer is Jermami Grant. Above average defender, shoots the 3, blocks some shots, don’t need the ball in his hands, and is a dawg. I’d pay him $23M a year, deescalating 4 year contract to replace Barnes

We need Kyle Kuzma. Great 1 on 1 defender, can slash and hit mid range shots, not a great 3pr shooter or blocker, but he seems like a better and younger HB option. Can score and rebound better and a more active and versatile defender. He fits in our time line and I think 4 years and 90...

Sasha would be a great fit and likely would command the bi-annual or less. We still need another wing defender though. Luwawa could fit the bill.

According to various sources, the total current salary is $127,493,625. There are 3 roster spots left that can be used with the bi-annual exemption and 2 minimum salaries or no BAE and 3 minimums. The max salary for the Kings in 2022/3 would be $137,256,327. For reference, this salary would...

You have to give up something to get a young, proven PF who fits next to Sabonis and in contract for the next 4 years. There will be competition for Collins.

Would this be enough for John Collins?

I’m glad Buddy is at least showing he’s ok to come off the bench. It’s a good example for Bagley, who has shown to have an ego along with his Dad, that he needs to earn his keep on the bench. It’s all about fit, chemistry and teamwork.

This has to happen during the season opener. Geez. Still no broadcast.

From his Instagram 10 hours ago...

Theus and Salmons both referred to a developing identity of this team, somthing lacking from last year's team. Stats show that the Kings lead the league in free throws. With almost a quarter of the season done, I see the Kings as a team that : 1) relies on Iso in the elbow and post...

I wouldn't call this a terrible signing. For a PF who had a "breakout" year last year and led the NBA in FG%, $6M/yr isn't too bad. Yes, he's up there in age, and yes, he owes Kidd for half his money, but he was still the best FA big available to us for the MLE (Sideshow Bob was not an...

The reason we were effective against the Spurs and other teams is because the Kings played an inverted style of basketball. Our bigs play small and our smalls play big. Bonzi is a perfect compliment to Brad's game because Brad brings out the opposing center and allows Bonzi to board and abuse...
