Cynical? How about factual. ^^ Do you see any qualifiers stated above aside from “really good player”? All the players I listed signed with the KINGS as UFA. Fact. All of them were/are really good players. FACT. Explain to me where I’m wrong and more importantly, where I’m being ”cynical”.

No, you actually didn’t. You’ve said nothing at all. Citing DDR’s age then asking what you’re missing isn’t a take or in anyway taking a McNair naysaying stance.

You being overly focused on age … c’mon man! SMH. You’re actually missing a lot.

We’re also living in a new, different era where professional athletes are maintaining a high level of productivity for longer periods of time across a multitude of sports. In tennis, the big 3 of Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic were still dominating into their mid-to-late 30’s in a sport where...

Monk’s not a knockdown shooter? I realize his % hasn’t been elite with the KINGS, but being a knockdown shooter is something Monk has been known for since his days at Kentucky. The kid is a very good deep shooter. Clutch too.

You mean, except for when Vlade did it. And Bobby Jackson. And Brad Miller. And Chris Webber. And Malik Monk, twice now.

So what? That’s a popularity award, not really an indicator of greatness. Don’t get me wrong, DDR is an all-star caliber talent but citing and comparing all-star appearances is beyond meaningless. For example, De’Aaron has been an all-star level talent for many years but got overlooked and...

Not if he doesn’t fix that hitch in his shot. Also, it’s not really “weird” how he’s been treated when you consider that over his 2 seasons here he really only played really well for the first 2, maybe 2.5 months. He had a few games here and there where you thought maybe he was turning it...

Yeah, bunches of people trolling on social media that DDR is choosing LAC. Good, great, grand, wonderful for him if that's what he chooses, but that team won't be better than the KINGS. They really weren't last season, except for the injury to Monk that led to the late-season decline. Losing...

In fairness to HB, he's not the first or second or even third option here in SAC. Meanwhile DDR was the 1st or at the very least 2nd option on most nights in CHI, so the production and stats should heavily favor him. Furthermore, if/when DDR comes here, he won't be posting near as many games...

Kings fans all offseason: “They need to something, anything and not stand pat” Kings fans as the Ingram, Lauri, and DDR rumors are heating up: “Please don’t do it!” Unreal.

He made all-NBA second team just 2 seasons ago, so clearly he’s better than this guy thinks. As I already said, the only real concern I see is defensively. The 3 pt shooting isn’t that big a deal IMO as the KINGS have plenty of guys to spread the floor. A guy like DDR would add some offensive...

I’d say it’s you that doesn’t know what kind of player he is. You were already way off about his fg%, not even close actually. It’s as if you are thinking of a different player. The guy has been a fairly efficient offensive player most his career. He’s even been a willing passer. The only real...

Basketball isn’t vastly different from other sports, such as baseball, tennis, and golf. In those sports you often see players get into funks and their confidence suffers because of it. Sometimes it can be very difficult to rebound. How many times have we seen a player play for the KINGS and...

No, they reject him for the reasons I’ve outlined many times over the past year or so (in various threads) and partially outlined in this thread. His skills and production do not warrant or justify the attention. As for your “how he dresses“ claim — that’s just silly. I mean, I knew he was a...

No, you didn’t. I eventually found it a few posts later and commented on that one now too.

Ok, so you’re basing this opinion off one game you attended? Clearly you rarely watched him over his entire career. Again, a dude that shoots 34% from 3 and 45% overall isn’t an upgrade. Harrison Barnes has produced better than that during his entire tenure with the KINGS yet seemingly the...

I’d love to hear your reasoning why. What’s he bring to the table that would make the KINGS better? What did the Lakers and Wizards miss that you seem to see? The Lakers were better w/o Kuzma playing the meaningful minutes and the Wizards haven’t been good the entire time he’s been there. They...

Many of you are stuck in a one-dimensional pattern of thinking. What about Malik Monk? He missed the last 11 games, including the play-ins. The KINGS were controlling and leading for most of the Dallas game that he got injured in and ended going 5-7 to end the season (including the DAL game and...

I’m curious what in your mind makes “Toronto” a great city? First off, it’s in Canada which is even crazier than anywhere in the US right now. Secondly, the weather there is super cold and super terrible! Thirdly, … aw nevermind, my list will be too long. I’ll just conclude by saying there’s...
