    Would you do a Demarcus Cousins for Kyrie Irving trade?

    Sounds like i'm definitely the minority here, but yes, i would trade Cuz for Irving. I'd like to give 1 more shot at a team around Cuz next season, but if it all falls apart very quickly and by mid season we're finally looking at a full blown rebuild, I think Irving is a hell of a lot better...

    Offseason Keep Boogie plan

    I've been pretty impressed with what Stan Van Gundy has been able to do in Detroit, and if i'm in charge, i think i attempt to make a team in the same mold, and surround Boogie with shooters next year. Either Gay or Rondo can and should stay, but not both. Rondo has been averaging an insane...

    Is Vlade the right guy to hire next coach?

    I don't know much about this guy, though my initial thought is that the Net's haven't been a particularly strong franchise for a while now either. Sure they've had some recent success with older guy experimen, which then failed and let them to where they are now, but before that they weren't...

    Is Vlade the right guy to hire next coach?

    Have we learned nothing from the Malong firing? Let him do his job for more than 2/3 of a season before you call for his head. Would you rather we rehire PDA? As i think we've learned from our coaching a personnel carousel, different does not always mean better.

    David Lee

    KMart i would have a lot of interest in. I think he can be just as good as Beli on offense, and D is a wash for those 2 anyways. I would also have a minor amount of interest in Steve Novak. Defense is obviously the #1 priority, but I would still like to see more 3 pt threats on this team.

    Time's up!

    Can we pick up Andy Varejao off waivers? How does that work? I've always liked him, but he may be a bit over the hill at this point.

    Kings seriously pursuing Pau Gasol (multiple sources)

    Is doing nothing right now really the worst thing we could have done? The team is in the process of looking for a GM and head coach. Perimeter defense is a huge concern, but i for one think that the system is more important than the individual players. We need a new system first before we decide...

    What should Vlade do at Trade Deadline???

    Excellent analysis, though i would argue that just from a veteran standpoint, Thabo is a smarter player, and likely a smarter defender. BMac is athletic, but i don't think BBall IQ is really one of his strongest areas, which i think Thabo excels in. He has been a starter on contending teams, and...

    Karl's agent wants Bobby Jackson fired

    For a world that's supposed to value diversity and individualism, it seems like we only like those attributes when they fit into a neat little box. I applaud those that aim to be a square block, not a round peg. Tell it like it is Bobby, enough of this cookie cutter, PC BS. Keep those edges...

    What should Vlade do at Trade Deadline???

    Is it the backcourt players, or the defensive system as a whole? That's my main question.

    What should Vlade do at Trade Deadline???

    Can we trade for a defensive minded assistant coach, somehow? Honestly, i'd kind of like to see some sort of Kevin Martin for Belinelli swap. If I remember correctly, he's very good at doing what Marco does not, which is moving without the ball and getting open shots off of screens. He's...

    Bazemore for the Kings? (split from game thread)

    Didn't the Hawks JUST resign Milsap? I highly doubt they're looking to rebuild right now. They're a solid team, i don't see them blowing it up unless Horford leaves in free agency, and they can't find a solid replacement.

    Marco has got to go... but for who? and how?

    Marco just isn't good at shooting contested shots. He's money from 3 when he's wide up as a catch and shoot player, but not creating off of the dribble. I don't know if he's lost a step or if we're setting bad screens or what, but we need to find a way to get him easier shots. That said, i'm all...

    [Game] Kings v. Pacers, 1/23/15, 7:30 PST, 10:30 EST

    Pacers take on the Warriors tonight before heading to Sac tomorrow! Love it. Back to backs are hard on the road, and we've got a lot of momentum. This one is definitely within reach. Really looking forward to watching

    WCS

    I know we have all been thinking that Karl doesn't care about defense at all and fiends for small ball line-ups, but let's not forget that Marcus Camby was on those Denver teams with Melo, and also won defensive player of the year under Karl! I can only hope he can duplicate that with Trill

    Markieff Morris?

    I get what you're saying here, but this is how you attain an upgrade at talent by passing off players with lesser value. When guys have red flags, it drops they're value. Rondo, for example. Remember when we traded for a disgruntled C-Webb? I think he would be a really nice piece to add, he's...

    [Grades] Grades v. Kobe's Farewell And Our Mental Sloppiness

    I don't really care about all of the minor details, bottom line is that we let the Lakers shoot .553%. I keep thinking the Kings are maybe about to turn the corner, but it doesn't matter how good the offense is, you're not going to consistently win games without a drastically improved defense...

    [Grades] Grades v. Pacers 12/23/2015

    Didn't get a chance to watch the game, but read both Bee articles about it this morning. Could someone give me a brief rundown of how Collison and Rondo played together last night? It looks like from the article, Karl is essentially determined to play them together, and while they're still at a...
