    2016 NBA Draft Discussion

    We managed to acquire 3 first round draft picks, and we couldn't even put together a package for Patrick Beverley? We draft all raw, unusable players? I'm trying to find something to get excited about but I just can't understand the logic behind these moves. It kind of feels like we got worse...

    2016 NBA Draft Discussion

    Yes, i would be upset. These moves may help us out in the future, but the don't make us any better right now. They may even make us worse. I'm not even sure how we're going to develop everyone b/c with the current roster, there's simply not enough minutes for everyone. This draft to me signals a...

    2016 NBA Draft Discussion

    Not super stoked about the Belli trade so far...I hope we're not packaging this pick along with #8 to move up. If that's the case, i am not down. We need vets, not rookies

    2016 NBA Draft Discussion

    Dunn goes #3, calling it right now. I'm hoping for Jaylen Brown to drop. If you squint real hard, the dialogue around him reminds me a tiny bit of a young Cuz. I think they would work well together. Or they'd hate each other but either way, i'm willing to roll the dice

    Afflalo?

    I think we could do a lot worse than Afflalo, honestly. I'm hoping for strides out of Ben but at this point, he doesn't seem to be a starting caliber player. Afflalo may not be the player he once was, but he brings veteran leadership, and he's a decent 3 shooter. May be a good guy to have in...

    Under the radar players worth a look

    What about Brandon Rush? He was injured last year, not sure if he's lost a step, but he's only 30 years old, and has been a pretty solid 3pt shooter throughout his career. He's coming from a winning team where he's not getting a whole lot of minutes, but he's still hitting 3's when he's on the...

    Love

    Lebron had some very nice things to say about Mclemore when he was drafted. Maybe he still believes in his potential. Obviously more people needed for the trade, but just saying

    Under the radar players worth a look

    What about Jordan Crawford? Dude dropped like 70+ pts in China this season. Regardless of the level of competition, that's impressive.

    Letting Rondo walk

    While i hear what you're saying, i'm not suggesting we "chase a trend" and go all in on 3-pt shooters, but we MUST improve from beyond the arc if we want a chance to win. Look at Detroit today - they've got a bully inside, and they're surrounding him with shooters to open up space for him...

    Letting Rondo walk

    Rondo is a definitely a better pure pg than Collison, but watching the playoffs, i'm not 100% sure a ball dominant pg is really all that necessary anymore. Watching the Warrior's games, they seem to play through Draymond at the top of the key, and then let Curry and Thompson run off screen's...

    Who likes food? (split from the TV thread)

    Looks like the dialogue on this forum may have shifted a bit, but my passion is FOOD. Cooking, eating, food science, it's my passion as well as my career. If anybody is in the Bay Area (I'm in SF) and wants to talk Kings basketball and food, shoot me a message! It feels like the Kings have...

    Official! Joerger in as Kings head coach

    Rocket's fans seem pretty bummed over on their form. Lot's of dialogue in the nature of "i can't believe he chose the Kings over the Rockets...what does that say about the state of our organization?" Makes me smile a little bit!

    Dave Joerger...rumors and speculation

    I couldn't agree more with this...the small ball, fast paced, 3 pt heavy game is a trend that i suspect will not be here to stay, simply b/c the Warriors are an anomaly. They also have Curry, arguably the best player on the planet. Nearly every single guy on their roster hit's 3's, and the pace...

    Dave Joerger...rumors and speculation

    My gut feeling (or, probably more of a gut hope), is that we have some sort of handshake deal in place with Joerger, but we are committed to finishing up the scheduled interviews. Vlade is supposed to be an amazing people guy, and it strikes me as a bit disrespectful if we go ahead and hire...

    Kings interview Del Negro, Jackson and Mitchell for Head Coach position (Yahoo News)

    Let's not forget, as much talk as there is about Vivek and "jazz" and wanting to be more the the Warriors, VIVEK was the one who originally hired Malone, and from what it sounds like, it was good ol Pete D that convinced Vivek to fire Malone and then later hire GK. Hopefully, deep down, buried...

    Kings interview Del Negro, Jackson and Mitchell for Head Coach position (Yahoo News)

    Maybe it's just me, but my theory is that Ewing will not be seriously considered as the next coach, especially with the names that have been coming out recently, and I see this more as a favor/relationship building move. Ewing, to my knowledge, has not gotten so much as an interview for any HC...

    Coaching Candidates for next season (merged)

    Looks like Amick is reporting that there's "mutual interest" with Brian Shaw. Add him to the list. He sure seemed at one point like that up-incoming coach yall are talking about, but his time in Denver sure was a bust. Anybody know what happened there?

    Coaching Candidates for next season (merged)

    This team can't afford to take a risk on any questionable coaching candidates, regardless of how high the perceived reward might be. All coaches get fired for a reason, but in Jackson's case, a major part of that reason had less to do with the x's and o's, but who he is as a person, his coaching...
