It is a good time...

You know the quote :)

I boldly predict this season is the beginning of something special. The initial moves leading the Kings to the promised land:
1. Drafting Off Night
2. Drafting Jokicutombo of Portugal
3. Re-signing Mr. Holmes
4. Coach Christie

and other moves. I am looking forward to landing a few serviceable assets from Buddy and Bagley trades.

I am excited!

I’m trying to find out if betting on making the playoffs includes the play-in. Cause if it does I’ll throw in on the Kings.

- there’s a lot of injuries this year in the west with Murray, Klay (he’s not gonna be the same and be back for a while), Kawhi
- stars in the west are old now a la Curry (35), LeBald (37?), CP3 (37)
- Look we were the worst defensive team in history or something. We got all this defense, we should be at least a little better
- teams in the western conference that didn’t make the playoffs didn’t get better which is good for us
- lastly looks like Walton is gonna be out after this season or maybe mid season

It is a good time to be a Kings fan. There is usually hope following a draft and trades and free agent signings. But I too think this year is different. When I look at the roster and think that Hield, Bagley (and hopefully Thompson) can get us something decent in return, I’m “feeling alright” as the song goes.

Kings make the playoffs if:

1. Buddy and Bagley are traded. OR
2. If Buddy and Bagley are not traded, Mitchell, Buddy, ______, Bagley, and Holmes are on our second unit.

Chance of playoffs: 40%

I disagree about Holmes. IMO, he should start. I hope Kings will get a big, strong stretch 4, who plays good defense. If that happens playoff odds would be 60%, play-in odds 80%. I feel optimistic.

I don't get it. What has changed?

Yeah, until something pretty drastic happens on the Buddy / Bagley front I’m not predicting anything.

If nothing materializes it’s the same Ol’ stuff.
