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

    The main glaring problem seemed to be Zach is atrocious at running the pick and roll. I mean, just a crazy amount of passes at Domas’ feet, flubs, poor decisions. I guess maybe it gets better with a training camp, but seems like they really need to get Zach out of that quasi-PG role. His role...

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

    I think people conflate "unmovable" contract with "worst" contract. It very much is one of the most unmovable contracts in the NBA. But that's mostly because it's one of the biggest salaries in the NBA. Does his play on the court merit the salary? No, probably not, but it's not like he's a...

    [Rumor] Russell Westbrook Expected To Sign With The Sacramento Kings

    We sign Westbrook for one year for a min contract, ok whatever. But if we actually make roster moves and dump salaries to make it happen I just might finally give up on this team.

    It’s funny when people get to the age where they just don’t give a **** anymore

    [Game] [VSL Game 1] Kings vs Magic, 7/10/2025 4:30 Pacific 7:30 Eastern (NBATV)

    To be clear, I'm not looking to just dump Carter if he doesn't shine in SL. I just personally need to see more before I get too excited about him at this point. At his size, he needs to be able to either play a little point and/or be a knock down three point shooter. Anything less, and he's a...

    I think it's easy for people to excuse poor SL play because of these factors; however, basic talent should rise to the top. Less about him dominating and getting 20+ per game, but if he struggles getting his shot off, finishing at the rim, hitting the three, running the pick and roll, etc., in...

    I completely agree with this. If he can't play PG, then his path is even tighter and upside more limited. I also find it pretty surprising he said he doesn't have the experience. The Marcus Smart comp would seem to be the closest from a size, defense, and intangibles perspective. However, I...

    Summer League

    lol.. you know his agent must have given him the Quincy Acy reference

    Welcome Maxime Raynaud

    I'm really interested to see how Carter performs in summer league. I'm assuming they will have him playing the point for at least some of the games. If he can prove to be at least steady at the point, show that his three point shot is clicking, and that he can efficiently finish on his drives...

    Welcome Maxime Raynaud

    Totally agree with this sentiment, and is an example of someone I would want my kids to emulate; however, I think the question is whether he has enough of a nasty streak in him, or if he'll get pushed around in the NBA. I preface, I know nothing about college basketball anymore, but physicality...

    Welcome Isaiah Stevens

    Can we just go with this and pass on the Westbrook / Brogdon ideas?

    [News] Scott Perry is the new GM of Sacramento Kings

    Likewise. I'm viewing this through purely personal entertainment value. I will be much more interested in this team this year if I have some hope we have a young player that could blossom into a star. I love him, but I just can't put Keegan in that category anymore. Keon's development has...

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

    I could actually be interested in watching a Sabonis, Murray, Kuminga, Lavine, Schroder lineup. With Keon as a 30 min per game 6th man. The comfort between Lavine and Domas presumably gets better after an offseason together, and removing Deebo and Monk removes a lot of duplication. Definitely...

    Welcome Maxime Raynaud

    Outside of this one lone episode where Trey flipped out, I wouldn’t really think of him as an “enforcer”. I mean in general he’s a book loving nice guy.
