[News] Scott Perry is the new GM of Sacramento Kings

[NewArena]

In looking at the Mavs on paper I think it's a good shot that PJ is going to be a trade candidate again sooner than later. They obviously didn't want to lose him for nothing. If he's a 6th man that contract will look just as bad as Monks at some point .

Monks contract is considered bad?

Monk imo is the 2nd best scorer and actually has much better defense than Zach or Demar

According to reports pretty much every Kings contract that is near the top of the cap sheet is of the undesirable level. Just history repeating anyway. 6th men making more than MLE money is beyond an acquired taste. Almost never fails.

If Domas played for the Lakers he’d be an annual MVP candidate on a bargain deal.

If Monk played for the Knicks there would be a bidding war for his contract.

If DDR played for the Heat everybody would love him.

The Sacramento Drag is real.

Ten days until training camp opens. No movement on the roster since signing Dennis Schröder in early July.

Thanks, Mr. Perry. Tell us again why you traded Jonas Valančiūnas?

Draft =
Offseason = , so far

Yeah, I felt bringing in Jonas was the bright spot around the time of trading Fox.
I too was pleased with Perry’s draft moves but the rest of this offseason is so far a huge disappointment and i’m actually quite fine about Schroder.

We lost JV and Lyles, both of whom provided much needed toughness for this squad. We're smaller and softer than last year.

On the plus side, the apparent incompetence in trading of the new front office--and I will be happy to eat my words if they pull off some stunning move or other--means that one of the few good defenders on the team, Devin Carter, remains a King for the time being. I bet Doug Christie will find a way to employ his talents.

Remains on the team but won’t get any minutes

Last year, Christie played young guys less than Mike Brown did. MB actually implemented IJ a little bit and IIRC, he played Keon Ellis the same amount as DC did until injurie forced DC to play Keon more but I could be wrong on that. But DC went to the veteran well over and over at the expense of young guys.

I believe if he runs it’s the same way as last year, Carter and Nique are not going to play a lot. Maxi even less.

Perry must have had Mike Brown in mind for that post. It is a decent postulation about why Brown has had such short tenures as a head coach.

He's not vague-booking; he's engagement farming

Thanks for posting this. This was really an in depth look to what the front office and organization is thinking on many different aspects, was amazing to watch as a Kings fan.

 

[NewArena]

Thanks for sharing this!

Just got done with watching it. Some good bits of info in there: they see Keegan as an all NBA defender, Devin can be one of the better perimeter defenders in the league if he gets the conditioning down, they are a defense first front office and believe Dennis is really going to help the kings on that end.

Perry posting these every week has gotten infinitely more amusing since he revealed that he’s been making up these quotes himself lol

Yeah, real interesting. Doug and Scott talk the talk about being a "defense-first" organization, but I'll be interested how they actually implement the guys who play defense with the current roster build. Will DC/Nique/IJ/Max get a chance to play through mistakes? Hell, will Keon? And as of now, there's no really no way for DC and Nique to get regular playing time, so who's the "11th" man in the rotation?

You yourself put down Nique Clifford as the backup small forward, and that is my expectation, as well. His minutes may be limited at the start of the season only because he's a rookie and needs time to get acclimated.

He's the only real backup SF so that's an advantage on paper but 10th man minutes will probably shift around like they always do. Better or worse we know who the top 9 are going to be. LaVine and DeMar rotating at SG/SF and Keegan playing at SF is likely eating up those minutes for the most part. Going with the vets early is the smart call because this whole thing is based on ceiling. If they aren't in the mix of anything after a month or two and the Kings don't start thinking future first then this organization is doomed. Then there is no plan based on results and it's back to them trying to fight the waves carrying them out to sea. Just go with it because nobody actually drowns in this thing, it's a game. Going out to sea eventually brings teams into more stable waters so they can eventually swim back to shore.

The young guys aren't the worry, they're on rookie deals, they are older and more proven, they have time. This isn't too dissimilar to the situation Kevin Martin came into. He didn't just appear and get minutes, he slogged through his rookie year and it was incremental steps until the team started to have to tear down the remaining parts of the great Kings team because age/injury caught up to them and that opened up opportunity. This core is actually pretty close to the age of the Webber years Kings team. Everyone except Keegan is in that 30-36 range. There's only so much window there even if it does work.

I feel like you just described every season since Vivek took over aside from the Beam Year. Last few seasons of the Magoof era as well.

This I am hoping we make a play at the trade deadline to free up minutes, but you should have to earn playing time. Maxime while talented is too small (weight wise) to hang with nba bigs at the moment. Clifford is gonna be interesting.
