    [Game] 27/82: Kings vs. Nuggets 16 DEC 2024 7pm PT/10pm ET

    Everyone ripped Denver for letting KCP go but it’s possible they made the right decision given that Braun has had a better year than him. I do think they need more experience on their bench but it might be difficult to trade for it. They apparently are in serious talks to acquire Lavine and...

    [NBA] Comments that don't warrant a thread (DEC)

    He makes some good points here. Brief summary for those that don’t want to watch: League has been “in trouble” for the entirety of its existence and every few years a “unicorn” event comes along and things trend up. League as a whole is doing well, especially internationally. Points out that...

    [NBA] Comments that don't warrant a thread (DEC)

    maybe I’m not fully understanding your position, are you thinking the purpose of the NBA Cup is to keep players interested in the regular season? If so I think the NBA is hoping to give casual NBA fans a new reason to tune in during a long season.

    [NBA] Comments that don't warrant a thread (DEC)

    I don’t think you can compare anything to the NFL. Pretty easy to keep the attention of the masses when you only have a 17 game season. I think the Cup has been a success so far but it has a ways to go to be really intriguing. Sounds like the plan is to move it to later in the season next...

    Potential Free agent/trade/sign tracker

    So Nuggets fans are saying MPJ is the one on the way out if a deal happened because they want more shot creation. Would Chicago want MPJ? They have a top 10 pick they need to protect.

    Alternatively, if the player they would move out is Aaron Gordon, maybe we can be the third team?

    Potential Free agent/trade/sign tracker

    The Nuggets are after Zach Lavine according to the Athletic. I don’t have a subscription anymore but how the hell would they get him? Are they moving on from MPJ?

    Okc plays with force on both ends. Williams with his drives and SGA with his foul hunting. The rest of the guys are defense and grit. Kings have to fill out their roster with those type of players

    “THE” Trade Deadline Move to Make…

    What does it project to look like the following year 25/26 if you assume those two re-sign or are signed at their current numbers?

    [Game] 27/82: Kings vs. Nuggets 16 DEC 2024 7pm PT/10pm ET

    Watch these two videos and you can see the difference between the defense the two guys play. Notice the size of players they are guarding and how one guys highlights are all iso situations/ charges and the other is about half help defense. I think this really highlights the difference between...

    When Do We Blow It Up?

    one thing that I’ve learned is that winning a championship doesn’t make your life better as a fan. Both my Eagles and Cubs finally won one and most of the fan base of those respective organizations are back to wanting coaches and GMs fired and players traded a couple years after they take the...

    “THE” Trade Deadline Move to Make…

    The more I think about it, the more I wonder what DFS’s value will really be. Don’t think any team would offer a first for him so the question is would they rather have 3 seconds from some team or Kevin and say Colby Jones? Both young, under control for one more year with bird rights or...

    honestly I have at least a little bit of that fear regarding Cam Johnson. He has been a better shooter in his career than Kev and way better this season but I worry about some regression in a more limited role if he was to be traded to us. He also probably more solid than great as a defender.

    When Do We Blow It Up?

    So we can be bad for 4 or 5 years and then take 5 more years to maybe win a championship?

    Brown was going with Lyles for a bit at the 5 before the latest injury. I wonder if he just commits to that most nights with Len coming in occasionally depending on matchups. If the Kings do trade for say Cam Johnson they could go: Fox Monk Deebo Keegan Sabonis Cam Keon Devin Lyles...
