Mbah A Moute finished 18th of 81 in qualified PF's for DefRTG (shout to Bobby Gerould for the stat). That's a good vet signing. Of course, he's very injury prone, but he'll be just 29 when camp opens. He's still theoretically in his prime, if he can stay reasonably healthy. If's If's If's. A...

I'm not a huge fan of bringing Smith in, particularly over Casspi, but like others have said, good for you, Rudy Gay. You have to appreciate his effort to get some real players here. For someone so many of us approached with caution, Gay has been an outstanding King on and off the court.

Well, crap. Kings still have options, but they are dwindling by the minute. I'm OK with Tobias Harris, Rodney Stuckey, Jeremy Lin, JaVale McGee, Quincy Acy I want Beverley, Koufos, Casspi, Rondo, No Thanks to Lou Williams, Josh Smith, and Derrick Williams The Kings need to play this...

I haven't been this happy about a Kings draft pick since DeMarcus Cousins. Hasn't been close, either.

It is becoming obviously clear which reporters are being used by which parties. Like, uncomfortably clear.

I never questioned Vivek's intentions. His decision making has been poor repeatedly, but this isn't a Maloof thing. He isn't trying to turn this franchise into a dumpster fire. This doesn't excuse him for how poor the Kings have been running since he took over, but it means nothing more than...

You know, hadn't considered this, but what if Karl wants to get fired?

Vivek would get eaten alive by the national media if he fired Karl, but I would respect the hell out of him for doing it.

I'm still firmly behind drafting WCS. I don't care if its trade up, trade down, stay put, I want Cauley-Stein. With that being said, if Winslow is the pick, I'd have a hard time hating on it. At least they went for defense somewhere. Hezonja is the wildcard. As much as I don't want another...

Karl hasn't talked to Cousins since April. Everyone, local and nonlocal, has confirmed that. This is real. Karl doesn't want Cousins, never did, and is doing some seriously shady crap behind the scenes. I'm with Brick. Anything we can do to get that guy out of here, I'm on board with. Karl...

Background concerns, I'm assuming, are still the 'he doesn't love the game!' stuff. Way off base, in my opinion, but I think that is what it is. If WCS is sliding, I would assume its because of lackluster workouts more than anything else. We see this all the time. Teams fall in love with the...

So, Voisin and Divac sit down every week for a quick catchup sesh?

Dave brought up Wes Matthews a few weeks back, and that had me re-thinking the Afflalo stuff. I mean, targeting Matthews lets us know the Kings are willing to spend on SG help. Matthews is better than Afflalo, yes, but Afflalo is more attainable. He could be convinced to opt out of his option...

Speaking on Karl, his offense, Cousins, etc. Karl had one little interesting nugget at the end of his media availability yesterday when he mentioned how Cousins / WCS can play together. http://www.sactownroyalty.com/2015/6/12/8769641/george-karl-cauley-stein-offense Works for me. Defense...

Dave joking on twitter and openly saying he's talking like a fan, but STILL sort of alluding to Karl leaving. I don't want to put words in his mouth, of course.

Pete was supposed to be Karl's ally moving forward. I wonder how this will impact Karl's relationship with Vivek and Vlade. This is based on nothing, but it wouldn't shock me if D'Alessandro traded for Karl, despite Karl's poor relationship with Kroenke. It is strange that Denver hired PDA...

Rondo's defense was completely overrated for a long time, and over course corrected to the point where most people actually believe he is a terrible defender. He is an OK defender. Sometimes, a lot better than OK, sometimes, a lot worse.

Orlando and New York scare the hell out me, because Cauley-Stein is the only choice, as far as I'm concerned. He the only choice that fills an immediate need with the ability to play right away, I should say. You can argue for Porzingis, or Mudiay, or whomever, but WCS is the player the Kings...

My thoughts exactly. Despite my reservations on how Rondo looked in Dallas, signing Rondo gives the Kings a potential point guard upgrade while allowing them to keep all of their assets. Collison moves to the bench. 6th pick is kept or traded elsewhere. Stauskas stays. etc. Lawson is a...

Thanks for the update, CruzDude. Sending more good vibes Baja's way
