I'd play wait and see on this. The issues are pretty clear: - The Kings need a PF with range and athleticism who can complement Cousins - The team needs better passing, overall, and could use a weak-side shot blocker ...and Josh Smith brings these with a giant asterisk. We all are aware of his...

So odd to see Sessions playing this poorly - I really liked this signing as well. He's been a career backup/fringe starter who's great at penetrating and dishing, not much of a defender nor shooter. But now he simply can't play. My thoughts are that he must have sustained an injury following...

Great to see that the team is committed to quickly developing the area surrounding the arena with a nice mix of retail, office space and housing, as well as a refresher of what remains of the Downtown Plaza. Although I understand the economics don't work, it'd be great to see a lot more housing...

+1 to Brick's point that he's mediocre but an upgrade. He's an athletic, smart 2-guard who can share the ball and defend well. He's a decent rebounder and mid-range shooter who knows his role on offense. 3-point shooting is his weakness, as has been stated ad nauseum. I think he'd be a solid...

I think Nik was playing smart early on - his awful defense is what it is right now - but later as the game got away, he started forcing shots. Bad teams are contagious. Honestly though, I haven't seen an opener that bad since '05...that was just awful offense. We have a very deep hole to climb...

Welp...that was the worst opener I've seen since the 05-06 season vs. the Hornets. Silver lining: we made the playoffs that season.

24 (although I'm hoping for 35). The West got a whole lot better, and although we have a better bench, we really needed to take major steps forward with our starters in order to see an increase in the win column. Lottery teams get out of their hole by upgrading their starting 5, not the bench...

Collison is a good backup...not really amazing at anything but solid all around, except defensively. That being said, he's failed at being a starting PG at every single stop he's been at. His weaknesses (operating halfcourt offense and overall defense) are better masked matching up to backup...

Gibson would be a great pickup...but if we're talking shot-blockers to pair with Cuz, no one's a better fit than Serge Ibaka, who's also killer from midrange.

Emphatic "YES" on that trade - highway robbery! Especially as Klay's turning into a defender as well...never saw that coming!

Would be nice if we can acquire a mid-late 1st rounder by way of 2nd rounders. Liking the UCLA prospects (Jordan Adams on a diet + Kyle Anderson) and what they could bring to the team for a cheap rookie contract.

Talent-wise, Minny would be the winner of a JT-Williams swap. I'm a big Derrick Williams fan (much thanks to his ownership of Duke in the tournament + Wildcat alum), but his skills have absolutely not translated to the NBA for whatever reason. I wasn't expecting him to be an All-Star, but at...

Definitely liking what I'm seeing out of the team thus far - hey, we're stuck with certain personnel for now, but at least it's a bit more entertaining! Is anyone else a bit worried about Luc's bum right knee? I have to wonder if the damage is permanently debilitating...fingers crossed...

Looks great! Never liked the current center court logo, so this is a welcome revert back to the original (almost).

There's definitely a lot of flaws with this roster, but PDA and company have a lot of damage to undo, so I'll be patient. Offensively, three-point shooting will be a weakness at times (at the 1 and 3) and our lineup still has a lack of average-to-strong defensive players, especially at the 1...

At this point, I really want us to tank for a top-5 pick - while also playing some semblance of enjoyable (and promising) basketball. Remember the 09-10 season? People were actually excited about Kings basketball again: Tyreke was 20/5/5'ing, Omri brought sweet shooting and passion from the...

Like all of you, I'm counting down to hopefully someone else signing him. Hopefully the FO can think of a more creative/beneficial way to trade Hayes/Jimmer/MT/JT and amnesty Salmons. 2014 is shaping up to be a promising draft...acquiring even a late first-round pick gives us assets for moving...

Great pickup! I've been a LR fan for a while - solid role player, defender and rebounder. Of course, you don't want him starting full-time due to his offensive limitations, but he's definitely a top-of-rotation player. We still need a real starting SF - one who can shoot, pass, defend and...

Could definitely go without his attitude conveyed in tweets, but at least he's keeping us somewhat informed. Of course, he works for a paper that let go Sam Amick - now a leader in breaking NBA stories and in-depth insider analysis - and still retains "A.V." - who fancies chiseled physiques...

I'm all for Stiemsma if we can sign him for a similar deal that Minnesota offered. His presence alone won't vault us into playoff contention, but he will fill a massive void with this lineup - shot blocking! Plus, I like that he's been an effective role player (who doesn't try to do more) whose...
