"Hey Kings how's it going?"

This isn't a perfect comparison, but think of Siakam as a "LeBron lite" in the same way that Domas is a "Jokic-lite". He's a 6'9 PG essentially.

It’s nice to get a chance to check him out in G1 and against our style of play.

Well, so far all our forwards are playing better than Pascal Siakam

Siakam is a good player but if Ujiri wants a superstar level package good luck. Final year of his contract aside. Lets say the Warriors do trade for him. It would certainly suck because that makes it tougher for a tough West but does that push the Warriors back into contention? It's really a toss up.

 

[Woot!]

Sorry if already posted.

Report: Kings decide to pull out of Siakam trade talks with Raptors

Raptors fans seeing why the trade fell apart

He used to be their primary offensive option. Lots of post ups before. They’ve got Scottie Barnes now with the alpha role, and with Quickley he’s looks like their secondary option. I hear Siakam’s been a complete professional in spite of a lesser role

 

[KF8]

can't be too comfortable with a 20 point lead. 20 point in today's NBA is like a 10 point lead. Hopefully kings won't come out too complacent.

Little know fact but Vinny Basketballerino used to sing in that MLK Choir (half time performers) and has performed that number with Dr. Porter in the Capitol building.

this sort of transition three is pretty much not a viable thing for any big forward not named KD or Paul George.

 

[The_Jamal]

Keegan is doooominating the glass

 

[Kingz19]

Sick pass by Domas

 

[Tetsujin]

Domas with the sort of pass that would be leading Sportscenter if Tyrese or Luka had made it.

 

[captain bill]

I think Fox is feeling better

 

[The_Jamal]

HBBBBBBBBBBBB

We might have solved our HB problem by just moving some USG around

 

[captain bill]

Sick pass by Domas

Should count for 2 dimes

 

[Tetsujin]

Yep, bumping him back up to 4th option by moving Huerter out of the lineup for a 3-and-D option really might have been all he needed.

 

[gunks]

Yesssss Barnes get that trade value up!

We know you'll disappear for 8 games in 10, but other GMs don't know!

 

[KF8]

raptors finally figured to put schroder on fox instead which is a much better match up for them and he's playing well offensively.

 

[The_Jamal]

I don't get why the refs just let defenders hang all over Fox like that. So stupid, Schroeder wearing him like a sweater.

DUARTEEEEE

KEEGS STEAL

 

[Tetsujin]

Aside from the consistent fouling, the Duarte in the starting lineup experience has been a relative success.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I want to remind that today All Star votes counts x3, so lets vote for our players

25 more minutes to get triple votes for those of us on the east coast.

 

[captain bill]

Domas on the verge of getting his 6th triple double in the last 10 games

 

[The_Jamal]

Aside from the consistent fouling, the Duarte in the starting lineup experience has been a relative success.

Only 2 fouls so far tonight. Couple huge 3's so far this quarter and he's at least trying out there on D with actual success.

Meanwhile Huerter on the verge of falling out of the rotation entirely

Good reminder. Pissed me off Fox only 8th, Domas not even listed on that first run

 

[SacTownKid]

Scottie Barnes is going to be a nightmare when the Raptors finally hand that team over to him. IF they ever do.

 

[The_Jamal]

Here we go....
