It kills me to see DDV play like a freaking stud in these playoff games. If only the Kings could have managed to keep him. He's a stud on defense, a killer making shots under pressure, who has a high BBIQ. The guy is a total winner as far as I am concerned and the Kings could use him as a...

The video was informative on the numbers, but unfortunately doesn't have the conclusion for which I'd hoped. Bringing back Monk is status quo. And although I'm a big Murray fan, I don't rest easy to know that any significant progress on this team is going to come from him taking a very big...

Then I think it's highly likely there won't be "issues."

Well, he hasn't had a bust so far, so I'd consider that a positive. And "work" can mean that an asset is traded for another asset that is more complementary.

Yes. It's all about value. If other teams don't see Mitchell's value, then you keep him. If they overestimate his value, then you trade him. I don't see Monte predetermining any move or direction before he has a firm handle on where other teams want to go and what, if anything, they are...

And unfortunately for the league, OKC has a ton of capital to go out and get that physical big man that they are currently lacking. I'd be surprised if they don't take a pretty big step up next year.

I hope McNair isn't dogmatic in drafting "experienced" college players and discounting the more talented more rawer prospect. Sometimes the talented raw prospect is Kobe Bryant. He better not pass on one of those because of a "win now" mentality.

Yes. Murray's development has more to do with what is between the ears than in any particular skill. I still say the best thing I've ever seen him do is run like a freaking fast moving train around a screen at top of the 3-point line, receive the ball, stop on a dime, and bury the 3. I just...

So do the analysis. Sabonis is one of the more consistent players in the entire league in effort and production. So who is next on the list? Fox, of course. He's the most talented player on the team and a blind man can see how inconsistent he's been. He's the poster child for a player who...

If he thought it would bring a championship he'd do it in a nano-second. If he thought it would get him to the 4th spot in the West, no way, imo.

There is no core on this team, per McNair's non-statement in his presser. He traded Halliburton and he would trade Fox, Sabonis or Murray in heartbeat if he got the right deal. Nobody is untouchable. For most "core" is just a synonym for who they like on the team and who they don't. It has...

More running doesn't necessarily translate into more spray 3s.

The questioner mentioned Fox, Sabonis and Murray, and then threw in HB and Heurter. McNair didn't bite on any of the names and inferred that nobody is untouchable.

Agreed. If anything, he leaned into the question even more by indirectly mentioning that he's shown he's not adverse to making big change (the Sabonis-Halliburton trade).

Wait a minute. Didn't Giannis grow 4-5" after he was drafted? And this kid is further away than that?
