    “RUN IT BACK!” / Monte needs to fix this.

    That would be a logical impossibility, so no, I am not saying that. What I am saying is that the Kings had sufficient assets to make such a trade, but perhaps were looking in the wrong corners of the market. In this instance, PJ Washington had a reputation as a relatively poor defender, which...

    “RUN IT BACK!” / Monte needs to fix this.

    It was actually one "almost non-protected FRP" plus two players and two second round picks in 2024 and 2028. I agree that two first rounders plus two rotation players would have been too much, but you have to give something to get something. We were all miffed when McNair and Wilcox whiffed...

    “RUN IT BACK!” / Monte needs to fix this.

    There were rumors upon rumors, almost all linked to big names like Siakim and Anunoby.

    “RUN IT BACK!” / Monte needs to fix this.

    You look back at the trade deadline, when the GM was calling team after team trying to find a trade to help the Kings. I never heard a word about PJ Washington, who was traded from Charlotte to Dallas for Seth Curry, Grant Williams, and a top-two protected first round 2027 draft pick. He...

    KING IN ARABIC

    At one of the games, I noticed a small girl with a Sacramento Kings jersey and the name "Wilcox" on the back. Keeping it all in the family.

    KING IN ARABIC

    Orlando lost to Cleveland in game seven of the first round series, 106-94. The Magic scored only 15 points in the third quarter. Their two starting guards, both listed as "shooting guards," scored a combined 4-17 and 4-13 from three, meaning they failed to score a single two-point bucket...

    [KINGS] Comments that don't warrant their own thread (Redux)

    Funny thing is, I remember nearly all those plays, except no. 6.

    [KINGS] Comments that don't warrant their own thread (Redux)

    "Hearing but not reporting?" That is an oxymoron. Given that Mike Brown has a successful history with Lebron James, and that he seeks a contract extension with Sacramento, I would not put it outside the realm of possibility.

    [KINGS] Comments that don't warrant their own thread (Redux)

    I agree, this was critical in late March and April. Between March 25 and April 14, the Kings played 12 games. That comes out to an average of 1.75 days between games. Several other teams played 11 in the last three weeks of the season, or 1.9 days between games, including the Lakers, Suns...

    Unrestricted free agents signed to a new contract cannot be traded until after December 15. Right, Capt.?

    [KINGS] Comments that don't warrant their own thread (Redux)

    Reports are that Mike Brown would like to have a contract extension "at market rate." According to what I have read, his contract pays $20 million total for four years, or $5 per year. That means his annual salary comes to less than any of his players except for Colby Jones ($4.14 million) and...

    Too late for that, I fear. The ship has sailed. All those games where Huerter was out and Monk never got the call...

    KING IN ARABIC

    Malik is one of three finalists for the John Havlicek Award, together with Naz Reid and Bobby Portis. The latter two have the advantage of still playing right now.

    KING IN ARABIC

    Tell that to Domantas Sabonis, who said, “We better keep him. I think there’s no excuse. I’ll talk to Monte (McNair) and Vivek (Ranadivé). We’ve got to keep him. He’s a big piece for us moving forward.”

    KING IN ARABIC

    Now that you mention it, Gary Harris averaged 1.6 assists and Jalen Suggs 2.7. That is abysmal. Even Cole Anthony averaged only 2.9.
