    Kings expected to sign Mike Brown to long-term 10 million dollar per year extension

    Thinking about next year and it feels like front office has been good but also needs to be a bit better, coaching has been good but needs to be a bit better, players have been good but need to be a bit better. It's hard to judge the move in a vacuum. If we trot out exactly the same lineup next...

    Kings picking 13th overall (formerly the draft lotto thread)

    I don't know anything about Knecht but Kevin Huerter is just 25 years old and has 6 years of NBA experience, including playoff experience for 2 different teams. I know he's not on a rookie deal and we are not choosing between the two but nice opportunity for perspective.

    Following Potential *2024* Draftees

    How do people feel about Tyler Smith from the Ignite? Seems big, long, athletic, fluid. Has a nice looking shot. Would play the four? I haven't watched a full game - but are there reasons he would be a good or bad pick?

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

    Agree mostly - we did well against some of the better teams and lost some bad games against some trash teams. But I don't think it's enough to say they just need to punch down better. They really struggled to compete against mid level teams / upper mid teams like Houston, NY, and NO. And I think...

    Kings trade rumor SZN 2023-2024 edition!

    The Kings winning a championship will have zero impact on my quality of life and minimal impact on my engagement with sites like this or the NBA in general. I like supporting the team and its players and like watching them have a crack. That's it.

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

    Part of me thinks you are your record and we have had the same record 2 consecutive years now. Another part thinks we are a lot better than our record: 15 losses where we were up double digits, untimely missed free throws, a poor finish to the season that was paired with Monk's absence, two one...

    NBL Next Stars

    I gave up on this but give we now have a draft pick again - if there is anyone to watch from the NBL say their name and I will try to revisit a game or two of theirs...

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

    Two seasons in with this roster and we know where we are. A good team that might touch 48-50 wins if all things go well. We could keep going with internal growth - with improvements from Keon, Colby, and the lottery pick we regained today. But if we are to genuinely grow beyond that we might...

    [Game] Kings vs. Warriors - 4/16/2024 (Play-In Tournament) - 7:00PM PDT/10:00PM EDT (TNT)

    I haven't seen too many games post Monk's injury but Davion is looking really aggressive.

    Might have to try for another kid just so I can name it Keon

    Was watching with the sound off until a couple of minutes ago because I am meant to be working. Commentators not exactly objective are they.

    Has there been a team that is worse at protecting leads than us this year?
