The most promising thing has been seeing that the team hasn't stopped working together since the end of the season. I like hearing about Fox v Murray playing one on one every day way more than stuff about guys bulking up or coming back in whatever shape. This team has a lot of room to grow organically.

We'll see, might be a tougher road this year. And some of the should be bottom feeders like the Blazers won't get out of the way. If Zion is healthy, the Suns are for real, the Lakers keep on the path they were on post trade, the Clippers are healthy, the Mavs figure it out, then the West could look entirely different 3-8 next season. If they aren't the Kings should be in a great position to feast.

Dennis Schroder isn't a bad fall back but showing the Raptors are literally going to waste a talent the level of Scottie Barnes. He should be their Giannis and have the room to do it. Gives me bad flashbacks of the Kings and Fox for real. WTH, lol.

Interesting prediction given the injury differential between the Kings and other western teams last year. I hope you are correct but given injuries returning to the norm, other teams draft picks, and what we have seen in free agency…. I would be very happy with a top 6 finish and 45-50 wins

What a day! Thank you for all the reading materials.
I'm going to save these for future generations to learn the difficult concept of, "You can never please everyone so don't even try."
Even if you managed to take a team out of its success drought with a carefully-crafted roster, pushing every player to be better and played well together in achieving success ahead of schedule, meanwhile providing the team flexibility, not breaking the bank, and not trading off future success like the Lakers and the Suns on the first sign of improvement available, there'll still be someone out there who sees fit to throw stones at ya just from merely staying put with what you got so far while monitoring how each player's individual improvement from their motivated off-season would bring us before deciding to move forward.
So just do what you believe to be right (because they put you in that position and not someone else for a reason) and ignore the outside noise for you can never please everyone so don't even try, son.

I think this deal Schroeder to the Raptors, is going to work out great, I think their draft pick, Grady Dick falling to them, is also gonna work out great.
The east is not the west, the west is far tougher. I believe in Siakam. Scottie Barnes has ALWAYS played winning ball. I like that team a lot, I really hope Christian Koloko balls out for them too.
I'll actually be keeping a much closer eye on this Raptors team than I have the last few years, admittedly I'm a big Schroder guy n was one of the few posters vouching for him here last season.

I like the Derrick Rose to the Grizzlies deal too --- if there ever was a PR signing its that one, if there's any one vet to be stuck on the bench who can help them rebrand the unlikable image they formed last year, its Derrick Rose.

Seth Curry to the Mavs is sneaky good, that seems like an ideal landing spot for him.

Keita Bates Diop to the suns 2 years 5 mil IM SO SAD!
They are saying he might start for them though, so we could never offer an opportunity like that...
They signed Drew Eubanks too.. My goodness.. The Suns are gonna be so tough if they stay healthy n build chemistry... Thats why the Jock Landale offer got pulled...

Better hope 2 and 3 seeds didn't get a little ahead of themselves but Monte running it back vs. this? Wow. Bane's a good player but c'mon.

Good for Tyrese. Tyrese should be ecstatic that the Kings traded him to the Pacers. No way he gets a max contract like this sharing the ball with Fox here in Sacramento.
Hali makes sense. Bane?? Grant? FVV? Man, those could be real real ugly

for an undrafted dude, he got cashed in and his agent needs half of it
This Tweet should be framed and hung in the basketball hall of fame right next to a bust of Fred VanVleet's agent! Even if it came with a promise from Lebron to opt out in 2024 and join the Rockets I still wouldn't have agreed to this contract. VanVleet's career TS% is .543 which, for context, is lower than what Davion Mitchell produced this season. He's joining a team with only two players who shot better than 35% from three last season (Kevin Porter Jr. whose spot in the rotation he's taking and Usman Garuba who is reportedly on the trade block). Oh yeah and their lotto pick Amen Thompson can't shoot either. Things could be real bad in Houston this year for Ime Udoka.
