Tough season but still a little sad there will be no more games. Excited for the playoffs and offseason though

 

[Warhawk]

Tried out the Blazers feed to see if it would be better from those actually at the game... it was terrible, I was glad to go back to Kayte and Kyle.

You ... can't say that around here.

Very tough. That lottery odds got hammered but at least the Kings didn't waste the entire season by not developing the young guys.

Yeh it will be interesting to see what happens at center, with the role players who showed promise (Big Sneeze, Plowden, Carter) and what they do about the financial problem.

Feeling good about the young guys and having 4/5th best odds as opposed to having slightly better odds but feeling absolutely terrible about the young guys already on the roster is probably a healthier place to be as a fanbase

I'm a change agent.

And that's all she wrote on the 2025-2026 Sacramento Kings campaign, folks...

misery season part 1 complete. I give props to those of you who put yourselves through that for 82, trying to find even the slightest glimmer of reason to watch

 

[MizzouKing]

It wasn't nearly as bad as I feared at the start of the season. When they finally embraced the youth movement it got a lot more intriguing, and as the lottery drew closer we finally had something to hope for again.

This is the first year where I only caught about 5 games. I couldn't stand watching lavine play. Really excited for the off-season though.

 

[Elektrik]

All I can say is I’m glad it’s over. Glad the kids are promising. Glad Doug will be back. Glad we’ll get a decent pick, and glad The Kings are still in Sac. Looking forward to the off season and the draft and see what develops next year!

 

[Caccia]

Unlike last off-season, I intend to ignore the whole thing completely. I am intrigued by whether the Thunder can win it all, but beyond that, I plan to watch the World Cup in Canada, USA, and Mexico.

These games are so much more watchable when none of the vets are playing. The young guys move the ball and play for each other.

Sabonis is really the only vet that we should keep around.

Yeah. Said this last night, but the core we've seen the last few games+Domas/Keegan/top 5 rookie and there's something here. The young guys are all actually bought in and seemingly really embracing being apart of the Kings.

The rookie will need to be the franchise changer, but I think there's a lot of really good depth and a lot of pieces that can be apart of a winner already here.

Let Russ walk, buy-out the option on DDR, find a way to use LaVine's big expiring this summer.

Guards: Carter/Monk/Nique

Wings: Keegan/Hunter/Plowden

Bigs: Domas/Cardwell/Maxime


Depending on who the rookie is, strongly consider bringing Precious back. Plowden fills the back end of the rotation/depth.

Agreed, as long as you're not counting Murray as a "vet."
