    [KINGS] Comments that don't warrant their own thread (Redux)

    Well I don't post too often on here but thought I'd come drop a farewell anyways. Any organization or league that will fire an employee of 30+ years for saying all lives matter is not for me. I moved up to the Sacramento area from the bay way back in 1990 and even back then Grant was...

    The ONE AND ONLY Luka Doncic discussion thread

    I'm chiming in here to recant my predraft take on Luka. I wanted JJJ and thought Luka was a Gordon Hayward type. Dead wrong, he's a superstar. We blew it.

    Luka Doncic - performance discussion

    It's not just us, valde and co. didn't like the fit either. Not that it couldn't have worked, just that Bagley was a better all around option all things considered.

    Luka Doncic - performance discussion

    The good news for us is we already have fox and hield.

    Luka Doncic - performance discussion

    I think this is right. I was pretty vocal in not wanting Luka, I wanted jjj. Luka has definitely been better than I thought but all my arguments against him still hold true... We want the ball in Fox's hands, his ceiling is capped by athleticism, he's somewhat redundant with bogi, etc. If the...

    JJackson, Zbo to Dallas for Harrison Barnes

    I like that since we're giving up a guy like that in jj.

    JJackson, Zbo to Dallas for Harrison Barnes

    Marvin Bagley - the legend begins

    I dunno about this, Bagley looks pretty insane himself.

    Marvin Bagley - the legend begins

    If he turns into the superstar of this class this is will be a good point to remember when looking back at how he was viewed as a prospect. I liked him but definitely didn't love him. I love him now.

    DeAndre Jordan

    Might get moved by the Knicks as he's an expiring. Willie plus something else maybe? Seems like he'd be a good fit.

    Bogi vs Luka per 36?

    This. I didn't want Luka but admit he's looked good. But Bagley has looked really good at times too and imo has more unfulfilled potential. The sky is the limit for Bagley, let's see what these guys look like a couple years from now.

    revisit the cousins trade once more

    If the Boston pick this year turns out to be late lotto and nbd that means literally everything worked for vlade. Before this year I saw no way the guy wasn't getting fired but as of right now he's looking like a genius. Not that he couldn't have made better moves but everything he's done has...

    Luka Doncic (the 'LET'S RE-LITIGATE THE PICK UNTO PERPETUITY~!' thread)

    I never thought he had a lower floor... His floor to me was Myles Turner. No way jjj isn't a solid pro at the least, at least imo. I wanted him badly at #2 but realized that for whatever reason he wasn't in our plans. All that said Bagley has really surprised me in a good way. He has thru...

    Luka Doncic (the 'LET'S RE-LITIGATE THE PICK UNTO PERPETUITY~!' thread)

    Another thing to look at is Luka's defense... Dallas has been the worst in the league vs small forwards this year. Not saying it can't get better but was a major area of concern coming in and while Bagley has shown he can be a good defender in the NBA Luka has not.

    Luka Doncic (the 'LET'S RE-LITIGATE THE PICK UNTO PERPETUITY~!' thread)

    One thing at a time though. We're building a team and trying to get the best pieces that fit together. Fox/Bagley is a no brainer combo... They compliment each other well and Bagley appears to have tremendous upside to boot. Luka was a little more of a question mark with Fox and might not...

    Luka Doncic (the 'LET'S RE-LITIGATE THE PICK UNTO PERPETUITY~!' thread)

    Why do you say this? Do you not see future all star in Fox? He needs the ball, he's made an amazing jump from last year to this year and still has so much room to get better.

    So, is Marvin living up to expectations? (split)

    Way better than I thought. I wanted jjj at #2 but Bagley has made me a believer. He's so fluid for a guy his size and the defense was not at all expected by me. He's a future star from the looks at it, if we could do the draft over right now he'd be my guy at two.

    Bagley or Giles

    I have both of them in a roto league... Who should I play week one? I'm thinking Bagley based on more minutes initially.

    Grade the Kings off-season so far

    Impossible to know, it all depends on Bagley. I voted for "C" cause I would've rather drafted jjj or Bamba but we won't know for a few years. Free agency has been uninspiring of course.

    Temple Traded for Ben McLemore and Deyonte Davis (merged)

    Capella is the only fa left worth the money but definitely not a need given our roster construction. Not sure what Vlade and co are up to here?
