Offense wins games, defense wins championships. Or at last, defense should help us to make the playoffs - would be fine enough.

But it would save the off-season and maybe lead to a“LeBron coming home effect“ and a championship in the next two years?

The division looks really scary at a first view and it will be tough to win around 50% of games. But on the other hand I till think there are some good chances to get near the 50% as were mentioned before. GSW should be vincible (at least in 50% of the games), especially if Klay is still missing...

Maybe bring in him after 3mins? No, to be honest I also think that he should guard the best player. Maybe let him out of the starting lineup the first 15-20 games to let him acclimate in the league and then let him start. But whatever rather sooner than later he has to be on the field...

Good question. I am unsure (and of course it is hypothetical). But regarding Simmons I guess he just lost his confidence in Philly due to his role/the situation/what ever. He showed that he can do that and I think in a different team/setting he will be aggressive again. If he ever learns to...

Haha, that is true :D but as long as he shoots/hits them around 80% in the long term I really do not care how it looks like.

A lot of if's but I am also excited as these guys have some potential. As you mentioned even if it is not enough for the playoffs it will be great to see the development of this team and what can be possible if they are integrated into the team. Really looking forward to see Davion play. in the...

haha! Sad but true words. Maybe he wants to (or will) be the ‚game Changer‘ for the Kings.

That are some true words. In the end, we always know better and can complain about what happened at a specific draft a few years later. But as you mentioned if the front office was absolutely convinced and made a strategic decision (they hopefully based on some analytics/reports back then) I...

At first thanks to all of you to your comments and your different opinions as well as about this "philosophical" discussion - I really like to read it and learn about your thoughts (especially as a scientific researcher it is important to critically questioning things). I guess such a topic has...

I can absolutely understand your point and that you mainly care about sports. The sport is the reason why we all became fans and it is not about what the Kings are do next to basketball. Nevertheless, thanks for having a look at the questionnaire.

Do not trust Presti. I am unsure if everything is all good for us if someone says that they take Bagley. ;)

Absolutely agree. Everyone can see the differences between him and others in the league. It is time to move on and to accept that we have some sunk costs here - if we get something in return for him which may can be valuable okay. If not also okay (as there is nothing we could do).

I agree. And even if I like Presti (he did some magic in the past) I still wonder that he is named the God of GMs - he did some fantastic work in the past years but I think he can be named ‘God’ when he build a team which actually wins a chip (having 100 picks does not make you a champ). I...

Agree! And sometimes you do not even have an other choice. And it also can make sense to have some players for a longer term from an identification perspective.

And of course because Shaq is so connected to the Kings and loves to speak good about them…

I agree that it is possibles to get those wins. Next to some luck and development of our guys it is highly important to consistently win against worser teams - then we still can afford to lose more games in our division but make it into the play-ins (still I am unsure if we are able to win...

In my view a lot of you name some valuable and important points. In General I guess it is important for the team and the perception of the franchise (not just for fans but also for potential players/prospects) to break the ‚curse‘ and become a regular playoff team in the next 1-3 years and to...

Hi chief, thanks for filling it out. I appreciate that! Yes, that is absolutely fine (especially as I decided to not give the answer possibilities/options you mentioned). I hope it did not bother you to not have such a option!

I guess it will be hard to make it to the playoffs but of course there is a chance. For me, it is not just one player (which could be enough) but also some luck (e.g. injuries) and about having a winning streak at the right moment. But it is so important for the fans and franchise to get to the...
