I bet Monk feels the most betrayed. Came here to play with a friend only for the same guy to say we need better players. What a slap in the face

I don’t think these guys take it personal, it’s business and their friendship is seperate. And honestly he’s probably excited about more opportunity and an increased role.
 
Possibly but I think in general people look way too deep into random things people do online.
I guess but the only reason I ever hid/deleted pics on social was because I either hated the person or was trying to pick things up with someone I put in the bullpen.

Indeed….until I see obvious animosity on the court, I think fans generally just project what they want to see based on a lot of crap we now live with online. I can almost guarantee we will see all of these guys hugging and smiling together after the first game against the spurs.
 
Will be interested to see Maliks body language throughout the game after trading his bff.

I imagine he's secretly pumped.

First time he truly had the keys handed over to him and opportunity to lead a team long term.

He's playing like it, too. Minnesota is tracking him down before he crosses midcourt. He only has one turnover, but I think that situation needs more work.
 
He's not there yet on offense,......but only one way to get there

He did look more comfortable being back on the ball. When your team ditches all the stuff you were learning before you came to play, it makes sense. Anyone that can run pick and roll can run pick and roll. Just hopefully Monk and Domas don't wear down. That usually happens some time around the end of the 3rd on a long road trip.

That's actually a great point. It wasn't just disloyalty to the Kings, it was to his supposed best friend. Fox's message to Monk of "go get your money" a couple years ago... was a message to himself, and an indicator of Fox's own true priorities.

I bet Monk plays with a chip on his shoulder from here on out though.

If he actually unfollowed him over the last few days that’s not nothing. I’d be mad as hell if I went to a new city to play with a guy and he pulled the crap Fox did.

Fortunately the team is very good without him and we brought in his buddy LaVine to keep him happy. Sac is always “us against the world” but even more so now. These guys have a ton to prove and they’re already starting to meet the challenge

There’s probably no one better to fuel the underdog mentality than Doug Christie too.

Some ill advised passes in several of his recent (short) stints
 
One thing I have always blamed Fox for was pure garbage third quarters, and when they're playing well up to halftime especially. It always felt like Fox wanted to just play "hero ball" and made lazy/stupid mistakes. Very interested to see how they come out without Fox running the show in the third.
 
Does anyone know why this game would be blacked out on league pass for someone trying to watch it in Las Vegas?
