10, hope springs eternal at the seasons beginning

Seriously I am counting on a defensive improvement to allow the Kings to win a few more games and make it to the Play In.

Dude reminds me so much of Detective Billy Rosewood.

Does he have an apartment full of reptiles?

The Kings can have a strong season but I only voted 5 as I don't want to overcommit just yet.

 

[Letsgokings13]

Nah.

His prime is better than anyone on this team up to this point.

I would take back Boogie in a heartbeat. He was great to the city and had all star seasons for us. Yeah he had a bad temper but at this stage of his career, can he get away with that kind of shi? Nah cause it won’t be a big financial loss and we can just release him. #BringBoogieBack #BBB

DMC talent has never been in question.

I’m gonna go with an 8. I am firm believer that teams are better the longer they are together. This is the first year that I can remember for the last 10-15 years that our top 6 players from last season are all back. Continuity means a lot in this game.

 

[gilly420]

6 for me. Hopefully we stay healthy and compete for a playoff spot. I like Davion, good pick.

 

[The_Jamal]

10. I'm always gonna be a sucker for this stupid team as they constantly let me down over and over again by game 50.

 

[LoungeLizard]

Ok, Tristan Thompson really starting to grow on me.

I can't even begin to think what a Tinker tweet would look like. I've only hear him speak about 15 words in his time here: Optionality, positional versatility, defense, skillset and a few others.

Honestly, no he shouldn't

 

[upinsmoke]

Has buddy started his "I'm a starter" routine yet?

 

[Livinthedream]

Has buddy started his "I'm a starter" routine yet?

He said he will always consider himself a starter in this league, but will play whatever role the team needs him to.

When he does, the Kings should just put Davion on him in practice for a week. Just to humble him some.

 

[kb02]

The latter part is cool. The former part is just so unnecessary. Ego needs to be soothed.

he is the perfect sg next to fox. nobody in there right mind is gonna swag off buddy. He one of the best shooters in the NBA. lets not forget 2019 Fox missed 17 games in a row. we went 9-8 in those 17 games with buddy leading the way. Fox came back and we lost 8 in a row. Last season fox missed 12 games in a row. Kings went 7-5. Anybody putting downfalls of the kings the last few seasons on buddy isn't paying attention. I'm not saying Fox is the problem, but he seems more expendable as we are an above .500 team when Fox has missed significant time.

There are a number 2 guards, who are better next to Fox than Buddy. Won't bore you. Will list just one: Haliburton.

IIRC that was on a soft part of the schedule. Offensively I don’t fully agree. I think Ty is a much better fit because Fox likes to have another ball handler with him so he doesn’t have to think about setting up an assist all the time. His biggest strength is going to the rim and finishing (elite at it). There’s no way Fox is more expendable. Shooting can be found easier then a guy who can go blow by an entire defense and get the easy bucket especially when the defense already knows what’s coming

yeah well you don't recall correctly. look i love Fox and Buddy. I am just saying we have a better record without Fox than with him the last 2 seasons against mostly playoff teams.

Why I would trade Fox for Simmons straight up. Buddy bracketed with Mitchell and Simmons is an incredibly good fit.

unless you think Mitchell is that guy. Not saying he is or isn’t but he ought to be if you used the 9th pick on him.
