Kings fan. Born a son of a peach farmer I inadvertently inspired my friend James Naismith to create the game of basketball. He was going to use a pail we fed pigs with but I convinced him that bucketball sounded stupid.

Maybe they think DC is a potential superstar and they don’t want anyone to demand him in trade

Poelti is high risk long term acquisition that actually makes Kings cap situation worse

To put into perspective, some of you know I’m old, I will be 76 before the season ends.
Here’s my complaint, a 2032 draft pick means I’ll be 82 before I know who they got for trading player xxxx.
Come on! Be serious! Nothing later than a 2028.

If you were Zach would you give up $48 million for 1 year for $96 million for 3 years to get off of an 8-24 team to join the Bucks and Giannis?

I give him high marks on his offense and court awareness. His defense will get better just by bulking up and not being able to be pushed around so easily. He should grow into it.
His co-rookie Clifford just needs to get his shot to drop consistently.
Cardwell is intriguing. 🀞

Using player minutes divided by the teams 30 games this is our starting 5 so far ;
DeRozan 34
Westbrook 29
LaVine 25
Schroder 22
Monk 19
( no 6’6” in the group)
Bench
Murray 18
Clifford 16
Ellis 16
Raynaud 15
Achiuwa 15
Sabonis 12
This explains why a bad team is the worst team

When Domas is healthy I’d like to see one game with
Starters
Clifford Ellis Sabonis Murray Raynaud
Bench
Carter Monk Achiuwa Cardwell

Just to see what it looks like.

I wouldn’t wish that on Seattle. Let them start from scratch. Get them a team!

Even if you think Sabonis ends up the worst player in the history of the Bulls the Kings will still manage to somehow still get the worst end of the deal.

If OKC DEN and MIN did not exist this season the Kings would be on a 27 game win rate for the season!!!!!!!!!!
(Rather than the 20 game rate they’re actually on.)

Got to admit Kuminga has the tools to be good but my question is this; is he willing to put in the work to become the star he thinks he is?
Is there any skill of his that has gotten better since he joined the league?
If not, why would I expect him to suddenly start working?

12.12.2025 07:57 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

My new thought even though I think 3 team trades are just dumb as shit to speculate about; how about
Sabonis to Cleveland
Cleveland dude they will accept to Dubs
Garland and Kuminga to Kings
Other players move around as needed.

Garland Clifford Murray Kuminga
Raynaud maybe)

I assume you didn’t include DC in your list of no nos because no one has ever watched a DC movie 6 times.

Anybody thinking Raynaud could play some PF next to Sabonis?

04.12.2025 02:18 β€” πŸ‘ 3    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 3    πŸ“Œ 0

I’ve been warming up to Monk being the backup 1-2 to the new pg and Ellis ( fingers crossed).
Murray, Monk, Clifford, Raynaud and Carter cost 55.3 million
Ellis Cardwell & Plowden salaries TBD if they are here.
LaVine,Sabonis, DDR & Schroder cost $134M at least 2 guards must go, hoping all 3.

Why does NBA teams look to peddle there high volume average shooters who have big contracts and play little defense in the 55 games they seem to play each year to the Kings?
Answer; Vivek.

Anybody πŸ‘ πŸ‘Ž not happening?

Specific trade rumors include:
β€’ Kings receiving Tobias Harris, Jalen Duren, Ron Holland, and first-round draft picks for Sabonis
β€’alternative version includes the Kings receiving CJ McCollum & Corey Kispert + draft picks in a broader trade strategy involving other teams

Anybody who has a K in their name and is under 30 is not allowed to be traded by the Kings

Keegan Murray has a winning record this season! I’m just sayin’ ……

Ok . The Kings, by picking up Keon’s option year the earliest date they can offer him an extension is Feb 9th, 2026.
So they haven’t snub him, he hasn’t refused, it just can’t be completed until that date
They pushed his cap hit to next year when 🀞 some big $ players r gone

As a Kings fan, is it wrong I was looking forward to watching Wembanyama today more than I was to watching the Kings?
I’m bummed he’s out.

The Kings are about to go on a ten game winning streak and wreck the whole tear down dream, aren’t they?

Yeh, I didn’t even do that. I was in a very trusting mood this morning. I need to always get a second source and check the trade machine.
I’ve resigned myself to the fact that my only perfect days Xing are the days I don’t X.
