So, if the other deals had to be done first and are now done, then ...? Their online roster -- https://www.nba.com/kings/roster -- is funky. Some new guys are listed (not Holmes), but Willie and Kosta are still on there, too.

Where are they currently with roster spots and cap space? Looks like they still need one more big. In additional to Kosta, Ty Chandler, Marjanovic, O'Quinn and Ty Zeller are all among the list of unsigned UFAs at this point.

This from RealGM. Adams isn't an outside threat or rim-runner, but brings some things to the table that WCS does not. Not sure off the top about his contract. https://forums.realgm.com/boards/viewtopic.php?t=1854849

Not advocating anything, just asking: Cap-wise, are the Kings in a position to be part of the proposed 4-team Melo deal?

Sorry if I missed it, but does anyone know why Richardson hasn't played the last couple of games?

Apologies if this Chad Ford rumor was posted elsewhere: http://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/233733/Kings-Interested-In-Schröder-Knight-With-No-8-Pick-As-Trade-Chip Doesn't exactly knock my socks off. I know some people liked Schroder last year, but he didn't exactly take the league by storm...

But isn't what you're suggesting essentially staying the course? Sure, it's a legitimate strategy, just not all that exciting. Even with consistent lottery picks the Kings have had mixed results. It's true that you can't really evaluate either trades or the draft until some time has passed, but...

Isn't this the same team that signed Andre Iguodala as a free agent one day and then pulled the offer back the next because he didn't really want to be a King? I don't object to the trade on principle: The Kings have proven that adding a middling lottery pick several years in a row doesn't buy...

Luc seemed to be one of the few guys in the early season to understand his role and play it well. But that probably makes more difference to a good team than to the Kings in their current state. The Kings aren't talented enough to play 4 on 5 on offense, which is the case with Luc (and also...

What is Kenny Thomas up to these days?

Damn! That would have been an absolute coup. Can't believe he signed for that little.

I don't understand that, either. Then again, haven't seen a lot of chatter about him in general. Maybe there's an issue that we're not aware of. Clearly he's older and not a star by any means, and he's certainly not the great 3-point shooter the front office seems to covet. But he brings some...

I provided the link, but I have to ask A) Why the Kings would feel they have the inside track, given all the competition, for Iggy's service and B) Even if they were confident it was going to happen, why they'd reveal their thinking to Mark Stein. In other words, I'm a bit skeptical. Could be...
