There's a little bit of James Harden type passing ability in Nique Clifford. His vision is outstanding

JJJ gets massive max deal, SGA is a champion, Luka is Luka, Trae is loading up for another east run, meanwhile Marvin Bagley just fractured another finger pushing a button on the elevator

The Kings had a fantastic draft just because they picked up two very modern archetypes

-a 2/3 who can defend, shoot, handle, and pass.

-a 7' shooter with solid length and good mobility.

Whether the picks pan out will be up to their own work ethic but have to love the vision

DRAFT TIME WHO IS READY TO BE HURT

The big winners of the Wizards/Pelicans trade are the Sacramento Kings, who now only face CJ McCollum twice per season instead of 4+ times per season.

*Kings trade LaVine for Beal* happy?

Incoming double-down on the LaVine/Derozan duo

Kings trade today

Kings are going to have to have a very uncomfortable conversation sooner rather than later, because Monk/LaVine/DeRozan in the same lineup with Sabonis behind them is completely unworkable

Keon Ellis

*to the tune of Rihanna's Disturbia*

LARAVIAAAA

Trey Lyles is right up there with Keon Ellis as the Kings' most important bench piece. He just makes lineups work, both next to Sabonis and at the 5.

Lineups with Lyles/Sabonis:
294 min
121.6 ORtg
111.5 DRtg
+10.1 Net

Lyles at the 5:
268 min
118 ORtg
112.9 DRtg
+5.1 Net

Wish I could forget tbh

Bluesky more like Graysky for Kings fans hahaha am I right guys

Really wanted to like the Grizzlies. Small market, smart front office, built the right way. But they're just so obnoxious. They're unlikable

JJJ will never stop committing the stupidest fouls. Fouls out on an asinine hack 90 feet from his own basket.

Harrison Barnes is actually a fixture on these best lineup lists going back to 2022/2023 🤫

Kings new starting lineup cracked the 100 minute mark for this season today. And officially are the best lineup in the league with 100 minutes logged. Probably unsustainable but very impressive.

Oh whoops LOL. I followed the Kings starter pack and just assumed that was everyone 😂

Get the feeling Mike just isn't high on him. His leash is crazy short compared to others. Tough sledding for Keon. Maybe the Kings should look to trade him

Not too concerned. It was an 8 man rotation today. Only Huerter, Crowder and Jones off the bench. Houston's bench is really strong too.

Kings starters absolutely manhandled Houston's starting lineup today. This was a demolition

It's too early to stress about Strength Of Schedule rankings - The Kings Herald You have probably heard that the Sacramento Kings have the toughest remaining Strength Of Schedule, and that they have played one of the easiest schedules so far. This has been a common talking point ...

The Kings have the hardest remaining Strength of Schedule in the NBA. I wrote about why that isn’t actually a meaningful stat yet.

Hat tip to @profoak14.bsky.social, who pointed this out to me the other day.
