[Game] Kings @ Clippers, 2/7/2021, 12PM PST, 3PM EST

That would be the type of deal you could pull off. The thing is, yes, the Kings will have SOME cap space likely but again, is it worth playing that game again? Sure, they scored on Whiteside but he'll be looking for pay bump I'm sure.

Evan would more than likely be a rental, but we do have some extra second rounders laying around. Its also possible that Buddy gets traded in the off season and then you have Fournier potentially to re-sign. Not advocating for it, just some possibilities

I don't think Buddy is getting dealt any time soon unless as part of a package for a star. At this point I highly doubt they touch their best 5 man unit with Monte's affinity for advanced stats.

Me after seeing what Swipa is doing this season and thinking back to all the defending I’ve done over the years with regard to the KINGS drafting him and how good he could become:

 

[NewArena]

IT'S A WIN!!! WHAT A WIN BY THESE GUYS!!!

Omg we won?!?!?! Don’t lie to me!!! I’m on page 11!!

I overslept today and then dealt with some stuff and then oh, another early game.

I’m more than convinced after seeing Fox make Kawhi look like Brad Miller on defense out there. My God

 

[Albatros]

My only complaint against Fox has been the lack of "big dog" confidence to put the team on his back.

He's doing that now all the time. Just needs to hit more free throws now.

Him and Halli seem to have a real nice chemistry too in the 4th.

 

[Woot!]

Kawhi is still a great defender when he wants to be. But, honestly, De'Aaron Fox - *this* version of DF - might be his single-worst one-on-one matchup in the league. And, in fairness, a LOT of players' nightmare matchup.

 

[midtowner]

Fox’s use of his downshifting ability is wrecking defenders. He is so under control now in the lane - until he decides to explode.

We are 1 game out of the 5th seed, that's how open the West is this year.

Man can you imagine the irony if we were some how able to finesse a top 4 seed and have home court advantage in the first round in a season thats played without fans

 

[krylia sovetov]

oh man, what a weekend...

two games in some normal time for us, europeans, and two wins

from a tanking bandwagon to a "let push for a playoffs" bandwagon
and even if we fail, i'll be fine... i trust this team more than a 2018/19 team and won't mind some 13-14th pick at the end of a season.

fox is finally mature and far more versatile player, offensively
even hield didn't give me a grey hair with his brain farts

 

[parker]

The Joerger Kings were nothing more than a gimmick offense that was unsustainable. This isn’t that.

They also couldn't close out close games. This team can!

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Its the rookie man. Hes changed the team and blended perfectly

so Western Conference player of the week incoming? If they are still doing that

 

[kingsboi]

One good thing about afternoon games, I don't feel so bad going to the pantry after all the Mark Jones' food references as I would normally after a Kings game pass 10 pm.

if it doesn't workout for Jones on the Kings' broadcast or ESPN, down the line he may want to look into working for Food Network

Health has also played a factor. Last year's team, who many had high expectations for, was not healthy for any stretch of time.

 

[mac]

Fantastic win, super proud of the whole unit. Every game each player is bringing something different, covering for when others are struggling - it's a real team effort being led by Monster Fox

 

[forza kings]

I don’t know if the Kings will make the playoffs this year or not but I truly believe that one day Fox and Tyrese will bring that trophy to Sactown that was stolen from Webber and company two decades ago.

I figure that 3 teams out of Sacramento, Golden State, Pheonix, and San Antonio will make the playoffs. Can we have a better season than atleast one of PHX, San Antonio, or Golden State? I think we can.

How long before Curry is hurt again? He's playing 33.7 min/game to lead the warriors.

 

[ESP47]

Fox has clearly taken another step, starting about 2 weeks ago. Just a different player altogether. Instead of waiting for opportunities, he's just making the opportunities himself and it's winning all these games that the Kings would normally lose in the 4th.

 

[kingdivac]

But gotta give it to Walton, he coached a really good game today, made good plays out of timeouts.

Also called timeouts at the best possible times.

Still would love to see less CoNo, but that is not gonna happen.

Yes, as usual I'd like to see deeper bench involvement probing to make bench stronger and deeper - is Jabari Parker completely out of shape for a Barnes stand-in? Or is his backs still iffy? Watching some older highlights, his offense can look impressive.

Fox’s use of his downshifting ability is wrecking defenders. He is so under control now in the lane - until he decides to explode.

He reminds me an awful lot of Michael Conley in his prime - but even more atheletic I think - better jumping ability, maybe a tad quicker even. Fox is really mixing it up and attacking - honestly a bit worried for injury how hard he's playing. I think he is living up to the perception of being the quickest player in the league. Would love to see him clock some straight-line times--- 40 / 100
