Makes sense. I didn't want to sully Fox's thank you thread with negativity myself, so I stayed out of it. I respect any fan who still holds any feelings of good will towards him.
I'm not one of those fans though.

A great teammate with a lot of heart and thick skin. I know Kev will add value wherever he goes.

And LaVine is actually potentially THE answer to still running DHO and having it not sputter out like the last few seasons. You can argue what value LaVine should have gotten prior when being discussed on the board but on the surface this dude was literally the answer for the DHO. Brown ditched it for more pick and roll which was a Fox move, now, this is a Domas move. Lets see where it goes from here.

yeah well in this case one could hope they were renegotiating. I’m not sure what is worse
1) not knowing the protections
2) knowing the protections and pulling the trigger

it was an Internet rumor and stated as such.
Oh, PLEASE. I knew about the protections on the Charlotte pick. This is just media KANGZing us, it's not real.

Nice comment. You are on a run lately misreading what I said. My run as an eternally hopeful but often disappointed Kings fan continues as it does for the rest of you.
when I actually have insider data (which is much much less frequent now versus 2 years ago) I will post it as such. Rumors is not sources.
Rumors are more “**** I really hope this is true”

not to be too snarky but I would be much happier with you in charge than Monte.
and yes I assumed it wasn’t true but like most Kings fan was hoping “crap maybe it isn’t really this bad” only to be confirmed: Yeah it is.
Common sense would tell you this isn’t true no?

We’re apparently looking for a playmaker and a wing and 16 million TPE

yes, but where? Couldn’t find it anywhere after I asked where you saw it
But from where? Who supposedly said it? That is the part you haven't answered. No one else here has seen it.
Most likely some random fan just making it up then getting spread as fact
The fit is yet to be seen, but have we ever had such an impressive starting five in their own right.
Three that have been allstars, two that maybe could be. All decent citizens that appear willing to play in this small market. I maybe overly optimistic especially considering how tough the West is.
Now even if Monte only swings a simple trade for Val or Robert Williams this should be a team worth watching.

That's my guess too. Some guy on X posting nonsense like the 5-team trade rumors.
Something like protections wouldn’t even get to Monte. There are probably several staff members that have thoroughly researched each pick that was coming back.

The Kings didn't really lose much playmaking in this deal. That shouldn't be a need at all.

Sounds like Doug Christie has been pretty close to Zach Lavine. If I'm hearing this correctly, they went to the same high school and are from the same area. If anyone could potentially get more out of Lavine, it would probably be Christie

They know there stuff and actually watch games!! All three said we made out like bandits and they love Lavine. Lavine is an elite scorer if we can get a bing wing next year we might have something here along with monk/Keegan taking a leap

He's a better offensive player than Fox....and if Christie can motivate some defensive effort out of him, it's well within reason that he's a lot better for this team. Also combining the fact that he wants to be here

No idea if Simmons is even playable but I wouldn’t be surprised if we take a look at him given prior interest. If he’s a cheap pickup that could add length rebounding and defense to the bench. And maybe he’d prefer a small market but who knows

Seems to me like we either hurry the hell up and fill our positions of need with good players to make us a competitor or blow it up. Gonna be tough to get a good pg and pf that are starting caliber and that fit. If I had to bet my money I'd bet we're 1.5 seasons away from a complete overhaul.

Someone that literally can't shoot, is no player that I want handling the ball

I was still pretty impressed with his defense when the Nets were in Sacramento. He doesn’t bite on a lot of pump fakes. That stood out to me when the Kings are constantly looking like they’re walking on the moon defensively.
Plus, he’s got size and can still score a few baskets, rebound at a high rate and make a few plays. I think he would be a no brainer on the buyout market to come off the bench.
And yeah, you never know. He might remember he’s talented
