    Cousins extension?

    100% agree. I think we need to look a little harder at the Stan Van Gundy method of building a team. It amazes me that we haven't been able to acquire more 3 pt threats with the league clearly trending in that direction. This is part of why Rudy doesn't fit on our team, and maybe even most...

    Cousins extension?

    If this is really happening, which it appears it is, I think it's time to go all in on John Wall. Then we find some guys who can shoot the ball and stretch the floor, and we might be on to something here.

    Current Team Discussion and Possible Trades

    A couple weeks back I was looking on a Blazers forum, and many were on board with a trade package centered around CJ Mccollum for Boogie (with other players in the mix as well, of course). I can't seem to find it now, but how would CJ as a centerpiece bode with Kings fans in a Boogie trade?

    Never-ending idiotic Cousins trade rumors thread

    My question is this - what win/loss record do we need to have before y'all consider trading Cousins? Cousins has been tremendously loyal and more than anything i want to see us win with him as our leader, but the longer we wait, the less we'll get for him. If we get a weak trade package or...

    Current Team Discussion and Possible Trades

    What about Josh Smith? The guy may be washed up, but the fact remains, we have a clear need for veteran bigs right now. We're playing a similar style offense to Malone, but the biggest difference I'm noticing is that we were dominant on the boards under Malone, while right now, we're ranked...

    Gay and Collison for Goran Dragic???

    As the trade is currently proposed, it's a bit lopsided. But let's be honest about the state of our team. Regardless of what happens this season, we are still HIGHLY unlikely to be a great free agent destination. Nobody wants to come here, even if we are overpaying. Gay is gone after this...

    Bucks offering MCW for Ben Mclemore

    While I agree his value isn't high, if you poke around on other forums, like Cavs forum for example, it's surprising to see that fans (not necessarily front office folks) have significant interest in Ben. I think a lot of people still think he has the same potential he had coming out of college...

    Interesting Vivek article.

    Great to get a little clarity, but I will say that Vivek comes across VERY defensive. He doesn't seem to be pinning much, if any, blame on himself. Obviously there is a learning curve with any job and it's good to hear him say that, but it still kind of sounds like he has no idea what he's...

    PG for the Kings

    What about sending a vet minimum contract over to Baron Davis? Obviously he's seen better days, but maybe what he lacks in athleticism, he can make up for in IQ and leadership? Even if the plan is to play Temple at backup, we still kind of need some depth at the pg position, especially with...

    Free Agency

    At this point, i'd probably be willing to roll the dice on Lawson. Obviously he comes with baggage and doesn't seem to be the type of guy we're targeting, but he clearly wants to restore his rep and prove to the world that he's not who we all think he is. We just don't have a any good names left...

    We Can Do This! (Dallas & Boston)

    I can dig it. Not earth shattering, but well rounded moves for all teams involved

    [Game] Kings vs Rockets Game Thread (Summer League) 7/10/16 6:30 PM ET/3:30 PM PT

    I read the story on WCS about when he was in China after the season. Said he wasn't really bold enough to try most of the food, and ended up eating KFC almost every day (or something like that). I hope that was just in China, but maybe he needs a little work with his diet. Too much KFC isn't a...

    [Game] Kings vs Pelicans Game Thread(Summer League) 7/11/16 10:00 PM ET/7:00 PM PT

    I can see the upside with Papa but i can definitely see the downside as well. Yes, the pace was too fast for him last night. But i saw the potential with his post moves. They didnt' fall last night, but his footwork and technique didn't look bad at all. I think he rushed it a bit, but i do not...

    I'm loving the New Coaching Staff!

    Love the defensive approach, super excited to see it, and i for one have always felt that defense IS exciting. Back in the day, i would much rather block someones shot than score a bucket. For whatever reason, it's so much more gratifying to shut someone down, IMO. That said, what should we...

    Free Agency

    For what it's worth, i've read multiple comments from Pistons fans that are sad to see Tolliver go, similar to Temple. Not really much negative you can say about the guy..... While we certainly haven't had a flashy offseason and i think we still have a hole at PG, i'm a fan of the fact that we...

    Free Agency

    I hear what you're saying, but I think the logic is that we have a hole at sg, but our starter may be coming over from Europe next year. So instead of tossing 15-20 mill a year on a young potential starter, we get a vet stopgap with loads of experience. I think our core 2 needs this offseason...

    Vlade talking with Grant about our draft selections

    I personally have some concerns about the way the draft ended up, but i agree with many of you that it's probably best to withhold judgement until free agency is over and the final roster is settled. When does free agency officially start?

    2016 NBA Draft Discussion

    My issue here is not that we picked up some young prospects, it's that we picked up too many and didn't address any needs or nab any vets. If they like George at 13 along with the rights to Bogdanovic or whatever, fine, that's great, 2 young prospects to keep an eye on while we try and win now...

    2016 NBA Draft Discussion

    See this is the logic that scares me though. What if we don't sign Rondo? Lee will have other suitors and last year, guys took less money to play elsewhere. We're gambling on the fact that we think we can sign some free agents to fill our positions of need, but what if guys simply don't want to...

    Let's discuss new guys (from June 2016)

    my issue is not that we picked up a bunch of prospects, but with the way the roster is currently constructed, how are these guys all going to get minutes? How are we going to develop and groom this young talent? This seems like it would have been a great draft for a rebuilding team, but not so...
