I'm with you on this one. Trey Murphy would be great but that's essentially 3 first round picks and whatever we would otherwise get for Deebo, which, if you believe everyone here, could be another first and Jacquez (himself a recent first).

I don't blame Vivek for not wanting to reset at the trade deadline last year. Two years ago we were the beam team. The year before we were top 6 for 70 games and were one of the better teams in terms of win/ loss record to miss the playoffs. Even though we were bad last year, we were still in...

It make sense that there is a management change and other front offices want to test the water, see who is available. But please don't move Keegan.

Enjoyed This piece and Thibs. Feel some of it could apply to Mike Brown.

"They want their mindset to be defence". Curious how this manifests over the offseason and into the regular season.

BTW there are one or two people here sticking their heads into this thread with glee because they get to point out how dumb the Kings are and how dumb Monte is. But leading up to the Hali trade, some of these same posters were determined to argue the Kings should acquire Ben Simmons (because he...

Nice insight and think Amick says it well here...

Are we sure Chris Paul is happy for it to be about other people? Would he prefer to start and for the teams primary goal to = chasing Stockton's assist record? And does great/ high IQ player necessarily = great mentor / teacher? I don't know the answers and I wouldn't necessarily be opposed to...

Arthur Kaluma got a generous write up from the no ceilings team. Sounds like he can at least get to the rim. https://www.noceilingsnba.com/p/arthur-kaluma-is-on-the-cusp

If Keegan loses some of the weight he put on last offseason does he regain quickness and get to the rim a little easier? It's also more of a team thing rather than 'something Keegan needs to work on' but it would be great if his role was more 3rd/ 4th option with opportunity for some plays off...

Some positive comments on playing in Sacramento by Reggie Theus in this article. Definitely before my time but good to read nonetheless. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/may/26/nba-small-market-teams

I think the Fox and Domas pairing could have worked if Fox was 5% better than what he was and if HB was replaced with an impactful defender and capable stationary shooter to play alongside Domas instead of being resigned. Running it back didn't work and we had to get desperate/ drastic. There...

I do not claim to be a statistician either. But, trying to be fun: It would be better to post your question first, define your outcomes of interest, then report the effect estimates for each outcome. Rather than performing a test on several outcomes and then reporting only the P values for...

How many times did you have to run it??

Before Chicago managed to trade Zach, I was convinced they would have to pay someone first round picks to take him from them. I mean, he is paid like a top 15 player but only plays on one side of the court. Chicago didn’t pay a first-round pick in the end but what did they get? Their own first...
