    Will Rudy still opt out? Revisited...

    I don't see any way Rudy is not opting out. Crazy money is starting to dry up with teams slowly realizing, that you can't give such huge contracts to players of questionable quality, but once July, 1st comes it's back to "money is there to spend". There will be much less cap space available in...

    Poll Kings Win Total

    Where's under 28 option? This team just gave Nets their second win in their last 29 in Sacramento! March Madness teams might be a soft schedule for Kings, not one full of NBA teams.

    Pick situation (split)

    Unlike many by-laws, "Stepien rule" is not secret, so we know "the spirit of the law". But by-laws are not published, and we don't know, how it's worded exactly. That's why steelevt can offer his interpretation, that looks valid based on the information from the articles. But I saw a few tweets...

    Pick situation (split)

    Stepien rule is a part of NBA by-laws, which I haven't seen a copy of published anywhere, but several people claimed, that it's worded something like "a team can never be without 2 picks in a row in the future", so when Kings kept their 2016 pick, and handing over 2017 pick to Chicago remained a...

    [Game] Kings v. Hornets - 2/25/17 - 2:00PT/5:00ET

    Having soft touch shows itself early. Willie just doesn't have it. Kaminsky still moves too well for Willie off the ball, but trying to score on WCS one-on-one? Come on!

    [Game] Kings v. Hornets - 2/25/17 - 2:00PT/5:00ET

    Skal with nice fighting spirit. Looks like there are NBA players weaker than him.:D

    [Game] Kings v. Hornets - 2/25/17 - 2:00PT/5:00ET

    I don't know a shooter, for whom 3FTs is less effective than 3pt shot. Why?

    Players to watch: 2016/17 college season.

    That's not the right description: Monk was 1-man show against top-5 defense in college. You can say, Florida's perimeter guys are a bit short, and striped guys called a couple of tacky calls, that setup the atmosphere, but Monk was amazing.

    Evaluating the Cousins Trade.

    I thought Mclemore and Afflalo are SF and PF from now on, am I wrong?

    Starters and rotation for Thursday's game

    How many people will show up, when Kings are losing every game 70-100 or 90-120? Skal is barely ready for NBADL.

    Where Do We Go From Here?

    So you consider deals of Mozgov and Deng "not horrible"? I'm sorry, if you think, that I diminished this FO capabilities, but this is not about that, even if I value their acumen very lowly: good teams think about any contingency. That's why Hinkie asks for swaps, that's why Pels ask for top-3...

    Move to increase Guard depth?

    Collison is not bringing much, but trading him for whatever is available is the right play to make. Skal is nowhere near being ready to have a role in NBA rotation, so no need to traumatize him with everyday abuse. Just give a series of 10-day contracts to any NBADL big, who look like he might...

    Where Do We Go From Here?

    Vlade couldn't get one for Cousins, no way he gets one for Kosta. :rolleyes:

    Where Do We Go From Here?

    I know, FO morons think Kings will be better pretty soon with Buddy Klay Hield going from strength to strength, but those swaps with Lakers are useless, so gl with Mozgov. And with Vlade's reputation around the league everybody will look to exploit his incompetence and hold out to give up worse...

    Trade deadline approaching for Kings

    Some guy needed few thousand clicks to keep his ad contracts.

    8th Seed Predictions

    Nuggets still can't play any defense, so any games against teams, that can put up points in a hurry are not a guarantee for them, even if they look like that on the paper: @Bucks, Lakers and @Blazers; they have 3 games left vs Rockets, and at this moment that's almost guaranteed 3 losses. But...

    Trade deadline approaching for Kings

    There are already regrets on some of those 2016 contracts. And you can only get, what's out there. So for a guy, who was almost out of the league last summer, I don't think, there's a lot. As of right now only 6 teams are guaranteed to operate in cap space mode: Sixers, Nets, Nuggets, Suns...

    Trade deadline approaching for Kings

    2017/18 cap is expected to be lower than previously estimated, so there are much less cap money available, once cap holds are factored in. Don't see anyone giving Lawson more than MLE, so same money as Joseph at most, very likely less as Houston debacle is only year old.

    Trade deadline approaching for Kings

    With abundance of PGs in the League (and looks like 2-3 teams might get their new starting PGs in the upcoming draft) and Ty's rep around the league I don't think, anyone looks at him as a starter. If you evaluate him as a bencher, his defense becomes average among guys, who can actually run...
