    Domas is who they thought he was.

    Well said. I don’t hate the idea of Zach + Domas + defenders next season, especially with a true PG. Zach and Domas are not necessarily superstar players, but I think they’re both excellent guys who have the potential to be really good if the pieces around them fit properly. We’ll see what Perry...

    Scott Perry is the new GM of Sacramento Kings

    Doug did well the the cards he was dealt, but my fear is that he may be a little too much of a players coach, in that he had a hard time making the tough decisions about benching guys and balancing out the starting lineup. If management were to balance out the roster for him, I think he could...

    [Game] 71/82: Kings vs. Celtics 24 MAR 2025, 7pm PT/10pm ET

    Kings offense just has no flow tonight. Too much Demar ISO, who has more than 2x the shots of Lavine. Would love to see the ball move around way more.

    If Keegan had Carter’s confidence he would be an absolute monster. Hopefully it rubs off on him a little bit.

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

    I don’t like the idea of a full rebuild, if not only for completely selfish reasons. After watching the Kings be a bottom dweller for so many years, it’s admittedly more fun to watch them be at least somewhat competitive, even if they aren’t structured to contend. I for one would like to watch...

    [Game] 67/82 Kings vs. Grizzlies 17 MAR 2025, 7pm PST/10pm EST

    How does that warrant a tech? Guys get away with WAY more than that on a nightly basis. Refs clearly trying to make it a game.

    Grade the deadline (2025 edition)

    I’m going with a B-/C+ I think we got solid value overall, but I’m still very concerned about the defense. We shall see.

    Kings Acquire Jake LaRavia

    I know nothing about this guy but hopefully he’s a better version of Kessler Edward’s.

    De'Aaron Fox Traded to Spurs for Zach Lavine, three first round picks

    100% agree. We desperately need defenders, and this is not the roster balancing move we need by any means. I really hope we leave him alone, unless it’s a complete steal of a trade.

    De'Aaron Fox Traded to Spurs for Zach Lavine, three first round picks

    It’s not that Deebo isn’t a fantastic player, it’s that we REALLY need defense. Monk, Levine, Deebo is a a crazy soft defensive backcourt. If we could flip Deebo for a wing that can defend, we would have a much more balanced lineup.

    De'Aaron Fox Traded to Spurs for Zach Lavine, three first round picks

    I don’t hate it, but I really hope we can move DeRozan for some defensive help, b/c we severely need defense at this point.

    Amick: De’Aaron Fox requests trade

    You’re definitely not wrong, but the rockets don’t have a top 6 player and they’re killing it right now, mostly b/c they have an insane defensive team. Not a bad model to shoot for in the short term.

    Christie’s Kings

    These Fox vs. Monk debates seem ridiculous to me. As much as I like Derozan, it seems like he’s the odd man out. Not saying this is possible, but if we were to somehow replace Derozan with a similarly good wing, I think that solves the problem. Monk is not just great in the pick and roll, but...

    [Game] 37/82 Kings vs. Heat 06 JAN 2025, 7pm PT/10pm ET

    How is Devin Carter way less shy about shooting the ball than Keegan is right now?

    DOUG EFFING CHRISTIE

    I definitely didn’t watch many of the pressers, but it seemed like Brown often complained that the team just wasn’t executing the game plan properly. I wonder if Doug has just simplified things in a way that’s been easier to execute? The offense seems to be a little smoother right now. The ball...
