    Who breaks the coaching hire news?

    Just for fun, while we await the white smoke signal from the Golden 1 Center, who do you think gets the scoop? (Hat tip to @iowamcnabb for the inspiration)

    Poll: should the Kings match the offer for Bogi?

    I thought it would be interesting to make a poll: Bogi has signed an offer sheet from the Hawks worth $72 million for four years, with a trade kicker. Should the Kings match? Offer sheet details below:

    Who cost the Kings ping pong balls?

    I start this thread with a simple request -- there are plenty of places to litigate what the Kings should and should not have done. Argue that elsewhere. What I am interested in this thread is what did happen, and how. The question -- who cost the Kings ping pong balls? My first way to...

    Voisin: George Karl reflective after firing by Kings

    Voisin sits down with George Karl for an exit interview of sorts and... well it's not quite what I expected. I actually agreed with Karl more than I thought I would, although some of his concessions of responsibility are halfhearted, at best. Worth a read...

    WCS points to focus, effort, not scheme

    I have no idea whether this should go into the "opponents three point shooting bonanza" thread or the "Karl isn't 100% at fault thread," so I figured it could be its own. I haven't seen it anywhere else yet. Mods, I defer to you. Anyways, some of us have been curious whether the problem is...

    The Isaiah Thomas contract match poll

    I did this last summer with Evans, thought it was interesting, and now think it's worth doing with IT again: although we've tried to predict the IT contract before, I think it's worth going on record as to how high we'd be willing to match. The FO seems to be taking the same approach as they...

    Lakers considering Coach Cal

    Any more doubt as to whether it was a good idea to secure the Cousins deal last summer? Link here

    Did we pull the "pull the offer" move on Calderon, too?

    Might be reading too much between the lines, but thought this tidbit was interesting:

    The Tyreke Evans contract match poll

    OK Kings fans, the draft has come and gone and the Kings now have a potential star SG in Ben McClemore. Our incumbent potential star guard, Tyreke Evans, is a restricted free agent, and may or may not still remain a good fit. Let's say the team decides to allow the market set the price on...

    Trade down idea: #7 to Utah for #14 and #21

    The premise is simple: Kings trade the #7 pick to Utah for #14 and #21. Why for the Jazz? I was just reading up on Carter-Williams and saw an interesting note in a scouting report--"Ideally, he would wind up on an NBA team built like Syracuse, with athletic big men who can run the floor and...

    Now here's an idea: Amare?

    Now that things have moved to full-on crazy in the NBA world, reports are emerging that the Knicks are nearing a deal w/ Chandler and might be willing to trade Amare for Paul. Now, the Knicks would somehow have to free up space by moving/amnestying both Billups and Turiaf, which might be a tall...

    Potential matchup - Lakers and Magic? (split from ORL/CLE thread)

    Unfortunately, I worry that if it's a Magic/Lakers finals, LA would match up well.

    Scott Brooks gets his shot

    As, surprise surprise, PJ is fired as the Thunder fall to 1-12. While I was always curious what they thought he would do for a rebuilding franchise, that team was bad. I'm surprised whenever they have someone other than Durant in double figure scoring any given night.
