    [Grades] Grades v. Spurs 2/24/16

    Can this serve as Marco's grade, since it is the same thing every night? There are 256 NBA players with better 3pt shooting % than Karl's favorite "shooting guard" Marco Belinelli. 368 players shoot better overall. There have been only 459 NBA players this year. So 80% of all NBA players...

    I guess this can go here since the conversation has included All-Star weekend in general. :)

    Season Tickets

    Hey. Officially children 2 and older are required to have a ticket to the games. Unofficially, I have yet to have an usher or ticket scanner inquire as to the age of my Zoey. Probably depends on how old they look. I share 4 seats with 4 couples so end up with less than 22 games total each...

    Willie Getting Some Love

    I will just say, I am ecstatic that Vlade seems to have decided he would rather mostly build with established talent than college hope.

    Visit the Virtual Golden1 Center at Home

    The Golden1 Center is not scheduled to be open to the public until October 2016, but if you really can't wait there are a couple options, one right now and one soon to be officially announced, to experience the new arena right on your own couch ( if you have an iPhone or iPad.)...

    First preseason practice? Player sightings in town?

    Speaking of Kings practices, if you sign a kid up (age 6-14) for the KingsNEXT camp on October 11, it includes entry for two adults per kid to a Kings practice immediately following the camp that day. So they say. Nice opportunity to see a practice like the old days as those haven't been open...

    Kings free agency, part 3

    Ha Ha no. You are right. Exception is correct.

    Kings free agency, part 3

    Trade exemptions will be gone once we officially go under cap to use all that capspace. It's the rule.

    Kings free agency, part 3

    This is my best estimate of what the Kings Salary cap situation is. Numbers are always estimates because NBA doesn't release salary info, so much is inferred on sites. Safe to say final totals could be a half mil or so different either way.

    One AND ONLY Cousins trade rumors thread

    Ha. I got the feeling that George would have LOVED to just not say anything. His body language was pretty clear. Unfortunately, a "no comment" would have been interpreted as an agreement that Coach wanted Boogie gone, so he pretty much had to give at least one interview. Let's hope it is the...

    One AND ONLY Cousins trade rumors thread

    I will just say two things. 1) These guys are pros here. Karl's honest (and spoken) answer was "if he wants to be here I want him here." Karl is way too experienced to fall for obvious media baiting. 2) Jason Jones is a Laker lovin troll who loves to stir up Kings fans. Take anything he says...

    Poll on proposed "art" piece for the new arena

    I changed my mind. I had a huge rebuttal write up here with math and crap but ultimately, it doesn't matter what you or I argue. :) I am just glad that the people making this decision are art experts put in place specifically to make decisions like this and I hope the council heeds their advice .

    Poll on proposed "art" piece for the new arena

    Your argument here defines exactly what the problem with your argument is. You can not see the value of Art in itself. You don't see art as having intrinsic value. It seems silly to you. And that is OK..... For you. But you aren't everyone. You see the arena and the events as the valuable...

    Poll on proposed "art" piece for the new arena

    Really no point in discussing any longer, Warhawk. Whether anyone personally likes the piece or not, the guy is a world famous Rockstar in the sculpting world, the likes of which does not exist locally. Not everyone likes the same music though. You clearly think a local piece could have same...

    Poll on proposed "art" piece for the new arena

    You know I love you, VF21, but when you told me I am no better than then a basher when I tried to address a specific point, you "stepped over the line" as you put it. :) Attack the message, not the messenger, as they say. ;)

    Poll on proposed "art" piece for the new arena

    You are reading into it what you want to see. Thanks uolj for clarifying. Warhawk was one complaining about it being a 5th edition, not I. Warhawk was dismissive because of that, not I. What I see is local artists who can not be appreciative for an unprecedented $1.5 million gift to local...

    Poll on proposed "art" piece for the new arena

    Not dumping on him, but if he wants to protest my city bringing world class art to town because he wants personal gain then he is opening himself up to criticism. And I don't care if an artist has multiple versions, but some here do. I am somewhat befuddled that the artists who are protesting...
