Right, Indy just traded picks for Siakam, Cleveland traded several and swaps for Mitchell, and of course Minnesota was dragged for all the picks and young players it included in the Gobert trade but it appears to be working out for them. I suppose all these moves are “successful” in that I would...

“Undefined” just like the duration of Green’s suspensions from here on out.

Forgot about that. If I remember correctly, he defended it in the comments saying Monk was something like the classic score-first 6th man candidate, as if that was a bad thing, and as if Monk didn’t also lead the league in assists off the bench. Basura.

I ran the numbers and posted them somewhere earlier in this thread, I think. The Monk+starters lineup actually performed worse than those with Ellis or Huerter this year. Last season, though, the Monk lineup outperformed the Huerter lineup. Would be curious what is behind that, it certainly...

I believe that NBC story is just a re-write of the Athletic article I posted earlier. In that piece, they reported that Brown doesn’t necessarily have 2 years left, the last year is a mutual option. It wasn’t specific about timing, but I didn’t have the sense that Brown is just now asking for an...

There’s a limit on stringing together options, though, isn’t there? Like you couldn’t just offer to take on the risk and have a 1+3 years of player options?

So, 12-player draft it is, then!

I’m seeing some talk that the Kings should promise Monk a starting job to convince him to stay. Is that a good idea? Taking a look at lineup stats on nba.com, it appears that the lineups with the 4 other usual starters (Sabonis, Barnes, Murray, Fox) performed worse this season with Monk than...

Slater and Amick report in the Athletic’s Kings postmortem that Brown’s 4th year (2025/26) is a mutual option. He’s looking for an extension, but ownership hasn’t offered one yet, preferring a “wait and see approach” so far. More here...

Wasn’t sure which thread the Ringer’s post mortem should go in, but this has quotes from Monte, so why not here? I’ve drifted away from their content the last several months, but this is by the usually solid Howard Beck...

I would love for Kessler Edwards to turn out to be even half as good as some posters here think he is

this is great. Trying to do something about the fact that LA fans (or, at least Laker fans) show up notoriously late.

Love the highlight at the 10:20 mark in the 2nd where the announcer says “Thompson, still looking for his first…” He’s still looking.

That’s about the max the Kings can offer Monk, right?

Then Chapman takes the first pitch yard the next inning. Must have been fair game since the Rays scored.

Good point about the foul to give. That makes it a pretty easy call.

I suppose Kayte was right and they shouldn’t have called a timeout after the Nurkic free throws. They needed a timeout to get the offense back on track but the time for that was really a minute or two earlier when the you could see that the Suns stepped up their defense and the wheels were...

As good as they once were, this team’s offense fails when they need it the most, especially without Monk.

They needed to challenge this. Let the refs see the flop up close

Honestly makes it hard to enjoy the NBA
