01.02.2026 15:26 — 👍 4 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0I’m about 86% with you here. But if Perry somehow pulls off a second move that uses the extra roster spot to dump one of the bigger, more toxic vet deals for smaller pieces and real draft capital, it might end up being worth it.

@lakersnation.bsky.social tell your boys that this is Terrence Davis’s mug not Precious Achiuwa.

Sat down with the homie @indiebasketball.bsky.social to talk rising artists, hoopers on the come up, Christmas Day games and traditions, and more.
Available in all the pod holes.
Noticing a shift with the Kings past few games. Young guys getting real tick, vets hurt and taking back seat, and passion? Oh, and Dylan Cardwell’s smile is the effing best!

Just published one of my favorite pieces — all about Devin Carter, my mane man.
The team is starving for defense, hustle, +speed… he brings all of it. once a legit prospect before regime changes, & a false narrative pushed him into “forgotten King” 👑.
Tap in for hair love + Goggins comps.
He might end up being the third, possibly second best guy in this draft. I just think he can fit into any system, will space the floor, rebound, move the ball, and could end up being a dope second option on a really good team.

The jerseys though

13.11.2025 03:57 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I’ll take more of this mix — energetic, young, defense first role players with one or two ball-heavy veterans to steady things. All told, the game could’ve slipped fast, but the Kangz are holding up well going into the second.

13.11.2025 03:33 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0On the bright side, I think the city edition jerseys like dope
13.11.2025 03:24 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I get wanting to start Westbrook at this point but why continue to go with him and Shroeder in the backcourt? This team desperately needs more spacing and guys who can play off ball. Cough cough 😷 - Keon Ellis.

Bite sized preseason observations from a sicko; which of these could be real?
LaVine en fuego
Domas’ shot is fast, maybe too fast
Nique first man off the bench?
Saric might actually matter!
Speaking of Sickos, shout out @deucemason.bsky.social @morganragan.bsky.social and their new series of swag

Prior to tipping things off, give this piece a spin on the moves that haven’t been made, but might be around the corner.
Future Devin Carter Contrarian Corner incoming
09.10.2025 22:08 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0The entire first half I kept thinking to myself, what if Nique, Carter, or Jones just absorbed all his mins? Obvs a talent downgrade but the ball movement and defense would be at a whole other level.
09.10.2025 03:18 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Keegan has been the epitome of a disrupter in this first half. Love to see it!

In depth analysis on the real value of the incoming 27 Spurs + 31 Twolves picks. I’m definitely in the minority here but hoping to sell a few others!
