    What Does This Team Need Most?

    If we're basing it off what LA gave up for Luka, I'd say we're in the conversation.

    East Coast trip this summer - any suggestions?

    Speaking up for Delaware here, having lived in Wilmington (a place to be somebody) for a hot minute. Rehoboth Beach has a nice boardwalk that might be good for everyone. Grab a Dogfish head beer, crabs and some fries. Other than that, Wilmington isn't exciting, unless you're a banker, and...

    Evaluating Scott Perry's draft record

    I don't disagree. I also get the sense of a chicken/egg argument regarding players drafted and development. Did we draft poorly, or just fail to develop some of the players? It makes sense that players like Fox/Cousins seemed to develop almost in spite of who we had on the sidelines, but for...

    Scott Perry is the new GM of Sacramento Kings

    You gotta know when to hold 'em, and all that jazz. This is not a winning bet to take. There's a greater than 60% chance Zion never plays a full season, and a non-zero chance he eats himself out of the league. You want to place the future of this franchise on those odds? That's not a gamble...

    What Does This Team Need Most?

    Here you go. We are assuming that the Kings will not rebuild. In fact, most of the information available says we won't, so let's get that out of the way. Let's assume that Perry can only take care of ONE THING this offseason. What is it? What will move the Kings from a play-in team to a...

    Scott Perry is the new GM of Sacramento Kings

    Yeah, but if you hit on red 32... Honestly, I get the allure of Zion. He's an absolute beast when healthy. He's a wrecking ball, and it's not just bulldozing - he does have elite basketball skills. That said, dude is broken down more than he isn't. We absolutely can't have that if we want to...

    [Belated] Doug Christie Named Head Coach

    Chiming in from Nuggets-land: It depends. If Adelman wins this series and the next, I would say he's 100% the next coach. If he loses today, meh, maybe not. If he wins today and loses the next series, I'd put it at 50/50. Kroenke is weird with his money. Jokic is the kind of player that you...

    Welcome Back!

    It had to keep up with the most knowledgeable, and, I might add, best-looking, fans on the internet.

    Still waiting for James Ham to confirm.

    Oh! Welcome back!

    So who wants to fight for my top 8 spaces? Also, anything new happen in Kingsland?

    Next Coach

    Pretty straightforward. Who ya got, and why? I went with who's available and what sausage is available online. There are available names (cough, Malone) that aren't realistic, but hey. You do you.

    Perry introductory press conference

    Maybe we should have made DC GM.

    Scott Perry is the new GM of Sacramento Kings

    In fairness, you also had assistant coaches to replace as well. It's not like DC had a pool of great people to help him out. I think DC did a great job as interim, considering what he was given to work with. Great enough to justify being the full time coach? IDK. I think it depends on several...

    Scott Perry is the new GM of Sacramento Kings

    Yes, and also, it's almost impossible to wheel and deal the way you really want to when the owner puts absurd limitations on what you can do. That said, I will say at least Vivek is willing to spend. What he's willing to spend on is a whole different discussion.
