    Training Camp, October 2023

    Kessler needs to shoot the ball pretty well to earn consistent playing time imo. If he's shooting low 30's or worse from 3, someone will take his minutes. We are too deep this year.

    The Queta-Noel Era is Over

    Kings played it smart, keeping their butts covered while continuing to collect and upgrade talent until we found the right combo for backup 5 (Len/Javale). The team also gave Noel and Quetta some money for hanging out and did them solid. Seems like good roster management to me.

    SKAL BACK

    Just based on what I have seen with these guys, Noel would be my preference over Quetta and Skal. If he's healthy I think he is clearly better for our team needs, namely shot blocking and interior defense.

    Is "Light The Beam!" Forever?

    The crowd chants with 4 minutes remaining are the only thing that worries me a bit. Don't overdo/jinx it...

    Neemias Back

    Interesting....I guess we are willing to pay to keep him another year. Training camp battle with Noel or just stash in Stockton for rehab? He didn't show a lot in Summer League.

    Potential Free agent/trade/sign tracker

    Going back to the Ellis/Duarte situation, I think Ellis does have a shot at that PT. His defense is really something. It would be great to get consistent two-way play from either one of those guys. If one can hit 36-38% from 3, we will be rolling.

    Grading the Offseason Poll

    Solid B. My favorite move was Sasha 3/20 w Team Option. Love that. More solid value work from Monte with Duarte and Noel signings. I was ready to move on from Barnes but don't hate the contract. Felt like we didn't get enough for #24 even tho Holmes had to go. Happy to keep Sabonas.

    DOMAS BACK!!!

    Keegs could push it to 18-20 ppg if he can keep his percentages 40/50/85+. Domas will average 8.0 assists. Would like to see Keegan get 7.0 boards a game too.

    Minutes Distribution for Next Year Thoughts

    I'm looking for a big improvement for Davion and also Sasha to get 20 min a game, scoring about 10-12 per game. I think Huerter and Barnes will be losing some PT if my predictions are correct.

    We Need To Talk About Queta

    I don't see any space for NQ with Len and Noel. Even before the injury, he didn't look great at Summer camp when it was make or break time. He should of had his visa issues taken care of....with a paid agent and millions on the line how do you screw that up??

    Nerlens Noel is a KING! One year deal

    I like the move. Queta is likely done...depends on injury but no room for him and he didn't exactly earn it. Noel is low risk. Excited to have someone capable of blocking a shot inside. Another Kentucky guy so I'm guessing some familiarity there.

    Guess as to rotation.

    Please don't let Domas get injured this year. That is our glaring weakness.

    Chris Duarte to Kings

    If Duarte catches on with us, that would seemingly eliminate minutes for Jones or Ellis on this team. I would probably start Jones in the G league and keep Ellis on the big roster. I would love to see Keon get some traction this year. His D is pretty amazing. If Huerter starts the season...

    [Game] VSL Game 4 (7/13/2023): Kings vs. T-Wolves 6:30pm Pacific 9:30pm Eastern

    Would have guessed about 25%. Good to know

    DOMAS BACK!!!

    Supposedly the Luthiuanian coach gave an interview stating that he couldn't play bc of hand surgery. Turns out he isn't playing to rest and recuperate without surgery. Smart. I came to post about the details of the contract Once we know the bonus incentives, I think this becomes even...

    [Game] VSL Game 2 (7/10/2023): Kings vs. Clippers 7:30 Pacific 10:30 Eastern

    I'm keeping Keon on the team just for his defense at practice. We still need a backup 5, glaring weakness from last year. Queta's not it. And a sprained ankle might seal his fate with this team.

    [Game] VSL Game 2 (7/10/2023): Kings vs. Clippers 7:30 Pacific 10:30 Eastern

    Totally unlistenable and almost unwatchable. If these guys can't score in SL they have no chance for meaningful PT in the season.

    [Game] VSL Game 2 (7/10/2023): Kings vs. Clippers 7:30 Pacific 10:30 Eastern

    Quetta needs to dominate these games if our SL team is going to have a chance.

    What an abysmal offseason.

    Domas brought winning basketball back to the Kings. He sets the example, puts in the work, makes everyone around him better offensively. Him and Fox work together. Sign me up for five + more years of success with him leading our team. Wins are the only stat that matters Hollinger!

    Kings trade Richaun Holmes and 24th overall pick to Mavericks for ????

    Sure am glad to have Fox and Ox signed up long term. Deft moves to have 2nd round players on contract for 3/4 years. Just need someone to control paint 15-20 min a night, give a different look than Sabonas. Go Kings
