    “RUN IT BACK!” / Monte needs to fix this.

    Domas actually shot 2.6 and 2.3 3pt attempts per game his last 2 years at Indy, but once he got to Sacramento, it's been 1.1 3pt attempts per game. Nikola Jokic has averaged between 2.2 to 3.9 3 pt attempts in his career. Just 2 or 3 more 3pt attempts per game by Sabonis (at a decent percentage)...

    [KINGS] Comments that don't warrant their own thread (Redux)

    According to this article, the average NBA coach is paid about $3.5 mil per year, so $5 mil is still above the average: https://sports.betmgm.com/en/blog/nba/what-is-an-nba-coach-salary-how-much-do-nba-coaches-make-sgc/ Mike Brown may be blinded by some of the new contracts like to Monte...

    FIRE MIKE BROWN

    If that is the case, maybe the Kings should just go ahead and guarantee the 4th year, so that MB doesn’t become a “lame duck coach” next season. Guaranteeing that 4th year may be the best option for all parties to ensure MB has the authority to command the locker room next season. Having a...

    Probably not the best timing considering he just missed the playoffs. MB still got 2 years on his current contract, so he is not a “lame duck coach”. Next off season will be the make or break it period. IMO, the Kings would be wise to at least wait to see how next season starts off before...

    KING IN ARABIC

    That's a big injury gamble. He would probably be better off doing a 3 year with a player option for year 4, that many have suggested.

    KING IN ARABIC

    This is the biggest problem for the Kings. Everyone knows that 19.5 mil is the max we can offer, so someone with cap space is going to come in and offer 4 years at $90+mil and see if Monk bites. I'm pretty sure that at least one team will offer Monk more than what the Kings can, so we are going...

    KING IN ARABIC

    Without knowing if Monk is staying or going, Monte may need to hold onto Huerter until the Monk situation is resolved. It would be tough trying to replace both Monk and Huerter's offense and shooting this summer, look at what happened at the end of this season. This sucks because the draft is...

    Yup, plus taxes are horrendous in California, without the benefit of the night life that the Warriors and Lakers/Clippers players can enjoy.

    Yup, in just about every other season 46 wins would be good for 6th seed or better.

    FIRE MIKE BROWN

    Sacramento not being a FA or trade destination is not MB fault. It has been that way since the Kings have been in Sacramento. I think it’s the perception by young athletes that there is nothing to do or no night life in Sacramento. Sacramento has never been a free agent destination, even during...

    FIRE MIKE BROWN

    Agreed. If there is one thing we know about Kessler is that he is good at defense and he has size. Since we were getting smoked all year by NO longer wings, it would had made sense for MB to give him a shot to try and stop their wings. Nothing else worked, as shown by the Kings 0-6 record vs NO...

    Potential Free agent/trade/sign tracker

    IMO the one guy that is rumored to be available that would put the Kings into the top 4 seed in the playoffs would be Lauri Marrkaren. He's the ideal stretch 4 next to Sabonis and is in the same age range to hit his prime with Fox and Sabonis. Unfortunately, Utah is asking for 3+ 1st round picks...

    The Sabonis Thread

    Yeah, Sabonis reluctance to pull the trigger on 3s and mid-range jumpers really limits what the Kings can do on offense. A few more 3s per game would go a long way in helping the Kings keep defenses honest. Even Jokic taking 2.9 compared to Domas's 1.1 3s per game allows Denver offense to flow...

    [Game] Kings @ Pelicans (Play-In Tournament) - 4/19 6:30PM PDT/9:30 PM EDT

    IMHO, this season went into the tank the day Luka slammed into Monk's knee and sidelined the Kings heart and soul for a month. The Kings plain and simple didn't have the horses to make up for the loss of Monk (especially after Huerter was already lost for the season). If Monte makes the...

    “RUN IT BACK!” / Monte needs to fix this.

    Monte needs to realize that trying to emulate the Warriors blue print without having world class shooters like Steph Curry and Klay Thompson is only going to get you so far and in the Kings case its the #9 seed and out of the playoffs this year. I think Monte needs to revamp his whole approach...

    FIRE MIKE BROWN

    This team is built like the Warriors, we are more skill oriented instead of being bigger and stronger than everyone else. Monte has assembled skills guys who can pass and shoot, but when you go up against bigger and stronger teams, we have difficulties. The players that Monte targets are skill...

    Trade Fox???

    Yeah, barring injury, the Kings will give Fox the 5 year max franchise player contract, which is probably $50+mil or more than any other team can offer. I can't see Fox turning down the extra year and money the Kings can offer.

    FIRE MIKE BROWN

    Clearly Mike Brown is not perfect, there are a lot of things he can improve on. However, this roster was not built to beat big, long and athletic teams like New Orleans and Houston. The Kings have had huge problems with these type of teams. This whole roster is just not very big, long or overly...

    Better players would make seeing improvements a lot easier and a lot more likely.

    FIRE MIKE BROWN

    Mike Brown is literally the 2nd best coach the Kings have had in the 40 year Sacramento history. He's won 48 and 46 games in first two seasons with this franchise. Mike Brown is not the problem. The roster needs to improve big time for this team to be a perennial playoff team. When your 6th man...
