    Trade deadline approaching for Kings

    Team built around a player like Boogie can't play current version of Payton extended minutes.

    Players to watch: 2016/17 college season.

    Away game against top-50 team. Evans was only 8-17 from the field, but I don't think any of his shots were assisted, he didn't get any easy baskets and had to show a lot of creativity to launch some of his FGs, his penetration/attention, he demanded, gave just enough room for his teammates...

    8th Seed Predictions

    yes, free agents. Meant to write "FAs", went with brevity.:D

    Malachi out 4-6 weeks

    Right now Tolliver is better option at SG than Skal.:D

    Move to increase Guard depth?

    Collison gets beat from time to time, Burks will be torched defensively as a starting PG. Then he'll leave with another injury, plus he had a major setback with his shooting this season. Neto is 25 and hasn't shown anything. You can easily find better PG prospect in D-League or better player...

    8th Seed Predictions

    Portland had a lot of FA and that's a lot of extra motivation/extra hustle: they were 3rd in offensive rebounds that year and are around 20th this year.

    Malachi out 4-6 weeks

    I thought Temple and Ty were expected to return for Nuggets game, so that's enough depth for now.

    Players to watch: 2016/17 college season.

    Tatum was in the zone after 3 c&s 3pt, so he knockes long 2 and 3 more 3pt pullups after having 17 total made on the season for wonderful 30%. He's no Winslow, when it comes to shooting, but he's not a good enough shooter to be SF version of Lillard/Kyrie. One thing offensively, that actually...

    Jeff Green...great franchise SF...:D Tatum definitely has some touch, though shot is very inconsistent, and handles, but he can't create a lot for himself or teammates. I guess, he does remind Green a bit. Tatum has been much more impressive defensively than on the other end.

    Meanwhile in Reno...

    If we're talking 3rd string PG, even 4th actually, since Temple is your 3rd one, I would rather take a shot at Isaiah Taylor, who plays for Rockets' affiliate, but is not under contract from Rockets: was a star recruit for Texas, but on a team with a lot of big men and non-shooting guards, he...

    Trade deadline approaching for Kings

    I'm no sure, it's true: I don't see anyone throw more than a starting job and Lin money at Darren ($12m) and how many teams would give multi-year deals to Ty above MLE ($8m)? Darren is definitely is not top-15 PG and he does occasionally have trouble getting team into sets, especially under...

    [Game] Kings @ Warriors - 2/15/17 - 7:30PT/10:30ET

    You need to be big, long and quick, and have license from the refs to get away with rough play to beat Warriors: bothering them with physicality(big), getting deflections(long), transition defense(quick) and offensive rebounds(big) allow you to somewhat contain their offense, plus deflections...

    Come on! Pressure to win against the best NBA team in their house on the second night of a b-2-b for a team, that in your scenario just lost to a worst-5 team? Kings beat Warriors at home in a game, that was 3rd in 4 nights for GSW btw.

    Listened to a Blazers podcast, and they said, Plumblee is not good at PF despite having mobility at first glance, and he's not a good defender even at C despite rim protection numbers. Passing is for real and not just due to handoffs to a bunch of shooters. Also Denver guys say, Nurkic was an...

    Trade deadline approaching for Kings

    You are confusing Darren and Ty as Collison has no problem launching. And Kings won't lose "some shooting", they will get Boogie a guaranteed double every time Rubio is on the floor.

    Nuggets with classic #Kangs move: we just ran Warriors out of this building, so we'll take care of Wolves with ease...Oops!

    Kings will have 3 those till the end of the season, so I guess we will see at least half a PO series. Kings have 2 home games, but 2 of those are on second night of b-2-b. Nuggets have only on of those: last game of the series will be in Sacramento, so both teams will be on tired legs.

    If sun will be bright, Collison will be traded, or not.

    Trade deadline approaching for Kings

    Cavs is basically the only team, that would trade for him with intention to resign due to their payroll situation. For everybody else Rudy is an expiring. Would anyone give Matthews in 2016 same contract as he got in 2015? And Wes had no set-backs. That's just how Achilles affects players...
