    2022 Free Agent Targets

    I’m only slightly over McNair passing on Liddell at 37, so in my state of mourning I’m reaching out for crazy things. Yes Durant coming to Sacramento is NUTS but so is the world we’re living in. If KD wants to change the legacy of his career and get back in the conversation as the great of his...

    NBA Draft: What Will The Kings Do?

    Just perused a bit. One thing I learned today: I want to slap the S*#% out of about 95% of Detroit Pistons fans. Who knew! I get that we are in the NBA basement but these dudes are rockin with a fresh arrogance like it’s 2005. The delusion is almost admirable.

    NBA Draft: What Will The Kings Do?

    I’m president of the Keegan Murray fan club and also not bullish on Ivey reaching his ceiling so I don’t think there is much difference in long-term value between the two. What Murray will provide day one is defense and outside shooting which this team needs immediately to get us clicking with...

    NBA Draft: What Will The Kings Do?

    I think we’ll come away with Bey + Murray and I think it’s the best move. Although the Monte McNair failed trade reclamation tour might have one more stop in Washington. Would not be surprised at Kuzma + Deni +10. Both deals would make me very happy. I don’t agree with the Ivey love but I...

    Trading the pick.

    Deni is barely a year older than Jaden Ivey and younger than Keegan Murray. If he was in this years draft I take him at 4 every time. I may be off on his projection but I think he is about to explode next year. His defense passing and IQ are all WAY more advanced than Ivey and that is at the...

    Trading the pick.

    Deni is about to breakout. Elite defense, advanced playmaking and the shot is not far off. Dude just looks like he wants to win all the time he’s on the court. I do 10 Deni Kuzma all day. Gives us more flexibility to deal Barnes also.

    KINGS PICKING 4TH IN 2022 NBA DRAFT!

    Yep it’s all a dream because I can’t see a team like the Spurs making that kind of leap for the 4th pick. Ivey doesn’t seem like the type of player that San Antonio falls all over themselves trying to get. Murray fits the Spurs mold and has the charisma of Duncan but I doubt they’re in love with...

    KINGS PICKING 4TH IN 2022 NBA DRAFT!

    Jerami Grant+5 No. Bey would be the guy but I don’t see us striking a balance with Detroit to get it done. I think we were set to draft Bey until Hali fell. Monte should have tried to acquire him in his rookie season but the boat sailed soon after. Brogdon or Myles Turner+6 No thanks. Josh...

    KINGS PICKING 4TH IN 2022 NBA DRAFT!

    Hard to believe they would use the 2 pick on Sharpe when they have so much ammo to jump back into the 4-8 range. They have enough picks they can have their cake and eat it too.

    KINGS PICKING 4TH IN 2022 NBA DRAFT!

    I don’t want either chair to be honest but if they go Ivey they need to trade Fox on Draft Day. Who likes playing with De’Aaron Fox? Serious question. And don’t give me this Sabonis and Fox looked like besties BS — everyone is happy in the honeymoon phase. He’s shown himself to be a bootleg...

    Players likely to be in the 2nd round:

    For what it’s worth Laravia just posted the 3rd best Lane Agility Time and the 2nd best Shuttle Run. I’m not surprised. His footwork, especially on defense, is exceptional along with quick hands and instincts. Strong mentality too. There are a few guys every year that are unanimously underrated...

    NBA Draft Lottery

    Romeo Langford comes to mind. I thought he had superstar potential coming out high school. Whoops! Sharpe is better athlete but they both have an eerily similar way about them where I watch and wonder whether they actually like playing the game.

    NBA Draft Lottery

    Could not agree more, you absolutely nailed it! There is a lack of ego to the way Keegan Murray plays that I think gets in the way of peoples appreciation of him. Almost like people need to see a player impressed with himself to be assured that they should be confident in him. Keep sleeping on...

    [Amick] No discussions for Monte extension

    Is this the first whiff of Vivek’s patented move: Narcissistic Triangulation. Dumars is gone so let’s play Monte and Wes against each other to see who wants it more. Cynical, I know, but this dude has never not had this dynamic playing itself out since he’s owned the team. That mention the other...

    Joe Dumars leaves Kings organization to take VP role with the NBA

    Do NOT hire a replacement. Remove the position entirely. Monte needs to give Vivek some crayons and tell Vivek if he wants to talk to someone about basketball then talk to him or Wes.

    Kings first round of coaching candidate interviews comes out

    I was thinking similarly, one can only hope. Although I think it may just be a coping strategy, giving them far too much credit to be thinking tactically about their image. If they gave a f*#% about perception why not bring ONE of the three (Ham,Lee,Hardy) in for the final round of interviews...

    2022 Free Agent Targets

    I didn’t like it at first but it grew on me. A win-now move for sure with a tight window although PJ and the pick would hedge it nicely. There is fairly equal value in this trade although I probably value Mitchell and Davis more than you and probably more than most. Tough to give up two young...

    2022 Free Agent Targets

    There are two players (within reason) I want on this roster next year more than any others: Isaiah Hartenstein + Keegan Murray. With Keegan Murray it’s looking like we’ll need a bump on lottery night but I love his COMPLETE game. Late growth spurt dude and late to the game in general, still has...
