If we're forced to trade Fox, building the team out with a defensive focus would get my attention. The potential hang-up here is that Thompson and Eason can't shoot which means Carter, Ellis, and Murray all need to be elite or else whoever is 7-9 in the rotation (presuming we also keep Sabonis)...

I'd be willing to give this a go, but that will have to wait for at least a week as travel plans and holidays take precedent. :)

It all starts with the O-Line. If they can't do their job, none of the skill positions even matter because the play is going to get blown up before it has a chance to develop. I agree with Richard Sherman on this one... Draft 4 offensive linemen in the upcoming draft if that's what it takes...

Indiana is an offense-first team and Coach Brown played some of his worst defenders big minutes today while Keon and the Jones boys were all glued to the bench until the game was out of reach. I don't agree with his rotation decisions today. Letting Indiana get rolling in the third primarily...

Webber had 3 years left on his contract at the time he came to Sacramento... Siakam only had half a season. And players didn't have nearly the leverage in 1998 that they have now.

He didn't want to come here and wouldn't have re-signed so how he might have fit is irrelevant.

He always does. Coach is desperate to find someone who can hit from deep but I'm not sure it's worth keeping Lyles on the floor when he's tanking our defense.

Domas already with 14 rebounds at the half. He has his limitations defensively but I'll live with them when he can single handily control the boards like that.

That's the rub isn't it? Every team in the league seems to think their spare parts warrant "at least a first round pick" in return and yet the amount of teams with first round picks available to trade continues to shrink rapidly with each ridiculous All-In trade. The entire Western Conference is...

Is there any player in the league who is expected to guard the other team's best player at positions 1-4 and also score 20+ ppg and shoot the ball at an elite rate from behind the arc? If Keegan manages to put all of that together at once he won't just be the best player on the team, he should...

I don't want to harp on every single point here, but just aiming at the highlights of where we seem to disagree.. The idea is to find players who their current teams don't know are on an upward trajectory or they just have no use for them regardless because they are tanking, or they have too...

Yaroslav Askarov has been absolutely awesome today against Edmonton. With Celebrini averaging a point per game as an 18 year old, both of the Sharks high profile off-season acquisitions are already making a difference.

Didn't we see exactly this in the Denver game when these guys scored 47 points in the second quarter with a non-stop flurry of fast break and semi break baskets? We have seen Monk, Fox, and Sabonis push the pace relentlessly in stretches this season. I don't think there's anyone who can stop...

That's largely been the consensus but I don't see how anybody is going to draw up a defensive scheme with this roster which ensures that all 3pt shots are tightly contested without giving up open layups. We have one PF/C in the regular rotation and he's 6'10" with short arms and not much...

What a horrible year for A's fans. Rickey will always be the baseball GOAT in my mind -- he was and will always be my biggest baseball hero. In a better world, there's still a team in Oakland and a Rickey Henderson statue standing proudly right across the Bay from the shrines to the legacies of...

No -- because I've never agreed that defensive performance is mostly about effort in the NBA. There are a lot of very specific skills (some mental, some physical) required to defend NBA level offenses and no amount of screaming from the sideline is going to manifest those skills where they don't...

Which is why there's now a "save Fox, get him out of Sacramento" narrative developing among the national media. We need a lot more Beam Lighting to turn this thing around. When the narrative was "look how fun these young Kings are", both Fox and Sabonis had the All-Star and All-NBA recognition...

If this team were getting crushed on defense night after night (as they were in the 22-23 season) or struggling to put the ball in the basket (which was often a problem last season) it would be fair to question player motivation, skill level, or coaching competence. But statistically speaking...

He was 8th in scoring (PPG) last season and he's 8th in scoring so far this season. The only guards scoring more than him right now are LaMelo, SGA, and Luka (who I don't consider a guard but that's where he's listed so I'll grudgingly include him). Fox is clearly a better defender than two of...

They will both be 32 when they reach free agency this summer (Nance Jr. is going to turn 32 in 11 days) which puts them at the inflection point for me where I think they are more likely than not going to underproduce relative to the cost of their next contracts. My goal is always to obtain...
