Ok, I didn't say no one should be happy to have em. I just don't think he's going to be the conduit to some huge success lolAnd yet a team with a known culture for being tough and committed to defense is happy to have Davion.
His toughness and commitment are not to be questioned. Two things can be true at the same time and none of that negates my opinion that he is in fact a liability if you plan on playing him meaningful minutes in the post season as a key cog.If you read New Arena’s post, he mentioned he considered Davion a liability but the Heat who I’m referring to dont seem to have a problem with him…..and they are much tougher than Sac and much more committed to defense than Sac. Either you misread or I didn’t articulate well enough.
Davion is a liability to me for the simple fact that damn near everyone can shoot over him. That pretty much cancels out a lot of his impact for me, as much as I adore his abilities and effort. If he's a main cog on your squad and your best defender, I think you're in trouble and in for a long night. Sorry, I've seen enough of him to feel this way.
This is the exact reason why I don't want to give up on Devin Carter too early
Yeah, but I’m being told he’s a liability and he’s too short
These stats are nice and all but what is his wingspan and standing reach? Those are the only stats that matter.
I think it just depends on the rest of the roster. If you have Keon/Nique/Keegan at 2-4, you will be somewhat small.. But if you have a big defensive center, and a decent size point guard, we just saw a lot of playoff teams go this route. I'm not opposed to him being a backup wing and covering multiple spots.A smart team has him at SG dumb teams like the kings put him at SF to make the team small

Long term the only 3 i'm confident in on the roster are Nique, Keon, Murray. In a perfect world, I think if those 3 take up all of your 2/3 minutes. But we've been asking for Keegan to be a 3 for 2 years and we got Demar. So I can't imagine we get our wish anytime soon.Ya we’d need a Wemby/Chet at center in that lineup… if Nique hits its best he’s at sg giving him size advantage
Nique is a wing, I'm not sure why people keep trying to pigeonhold him as a guard. If Summer League is any indication, we plan to play him as a wing this season too.
Also, traditional positions are just stupid anyway, but most people aren't ready for that conversation
The old days of traditional positions are done. Now it’s just get 5 guys out there who can play together on both ends.
Yea but five guys with size
If that is the case, why is everyone, including NBA analysts, obsessing about the Kings' five shooting guards?The old days of traditional positions are done. Now it’s just get 5 guys out there who can play together on both ends.
Five Guys with fries is cheaper (barely)
TWSSYea but five guys with size

I don’t understand why we don’t re-sign Lyles. I get he isn’t a defensive wing, but we have so few wing. Should we just let our wings walk?

Fine stretch 4-5. The fact is 2/3rd of the team are combo guards.That's the thing though, he's not a wing at all, he's a stretch 4/5. Ah, been there done that going nowhere with it. He needs to find a team that he can fit with and get time.
Just read he signed overseas. Makes sense, players like him are more valued there
Positions don't really matter, but length and athleticism still do. If we had 4 Keegan Murrays nobody would be arguing positions. But when we have a roster full of guards and 1 forward and 1 center, you are in trouble.
Trey Lyles signing with Real Madrid is surprising. 3 mill in Europe instead of 3 mil here might be intriguing
Just another example of us being a poverty franchise imo.this is a good career and financial move. That 3 million Euros stretches much further than 3 million USD
Just another example of us being a poverty franchise imo.
We just paid Dennis, McDermott and Eubanks more money than what Lyles got. Perhaps they are hoping that Isaac Jones would be better than Lyles. Personally, in addition to IJ, I'd rather have JV + Lyles over Eubanks + Saric + McDermott.Just another example of us being a poverty franchise imo.
