Monk is a good off-the-bench two-guard who can run some plays and see the floor like what you'd expect a starting NBA two. An argument can be made that he may be good enough to start as a SG somewhere but calling him a PG is a reach, let alone a starting PG. There are skill and knowledge...

Shaedon Sharpe: this kid's ceiling is the moon and his floor is probably a solid starter. I don't think the Kings have a shot at him, but if he's there at #7 (or wherever the Kings pick will be outside the top three), I think he's too talented to pass up. The best a Kangz fan can hope for is...

I agree with you. While I think $10M for Snell and two 2nd round picks are probably a bit of an overpay, I too would rather use the 2nd rounders in the team's possession to take swings on two young players than to burn them on some aging bench vet. .

Uh yeah. It was two 2nds instead of one. Still, the Kings had to take on Snell's contract (I believe it was around $10M) for the privilege of those two 2nds. They could probably buy two 2nd round picks for less than $10M. .

The protected first for Bogi was so protected that it was effectively a 2nd round pick. I don't blame the owner/FO for refusing to take on Snell's contract for a 2nd rounder. .

Easy no. My guess (with absolutely no basis other than the fact that he missed a lot more time than he should) is that Issac's injury is much more serious than was let on. Even an averagely 20-something-yr-old doesn't need 17 months to come back from an ACL reconstruction. The Magic drafted...

Jonathan Issac's injury takes 9 months to recover (most professionals come back sooner), he suffered the injury 17 months ago and hasn't played a game since. That fact alone should give teams pause. Unless the Magic is going to give him away, which I highly doubt, I don't think any team would...

This dude is my early draft crush. He's an inch shorter than you'd like, has an unorthodox wide base shooting motion, and had a knee injury; but I think he is going in the lottery and won't be surprised if he goes earlier than many people are pegging him.

The Kings did not look like a playoff team to me before the season, it is not looking like one now. So what's the point of fighting for another 30-win season? Play the youngsters! And that includes Bagley, and I'm talking about serious minutes (30+). There are basically four scenarios that...

The Kings are only on a 2-game losing streak (soon to be 3 games). Walton has survived not one, but two 9-game losing streak. I expect him to be here this year and next unless the team really falls off a cliff. The Kings are on the hook for his contract until next and hiring a new coach...

While not the starting lineup, I think this one will be the most prominent and the one to close out games: Mitchell Fox Hali Barnes Holmes As for starting lineup: Fox Hali Barnes Holmes (Whoever is hot atm - Mitchell/Buddy/Bagley/Thompson/Harkless)

VF21 and I don't agree on many things, but I agree that she will be missed dearly. Condolences to the family and may her spirit live on. .

Certainly not expected, but I like this pick. To me, he's the the BPA. I'd have like Moody as a fit type of player, but I think Mitchell is the better overall player over anybody at this spot. .

Both sides have already tipped their hands - Bagley's team said to trade him and McNair tried to do just that. At this point, a breakup is inevitable; the only question is how much can the Kings recoup. Imo, if the Kings can get a late first they should take it and run. Past return for...

Franz Wagner is my guy in this draft. No, he is not going to be a star, but he may turn out to be a glue guy that every team needs. I compare him to Richard Sherman of basketball, he's lacking some athleticism but he's big and he beats you with his brain. Here is a nice breakdown someone did...

If the Kings are sticking with Walton then they should not try to win, because Walton is not a coach who wins; not with this team at least. And the Kings are not talented enough to overcome a mediocre coach. So it's rather simple to me, if you can't win then you should tank. Just do it for...

They're also losing Kent Bazemore (probably). I don't see them re-signing Oubre after he failed to live up to their expectation. Agree, they will probably explore trading the pick. However, I have a hard time seeing Hield is the one they settle on. Plus, matching salaries would be challenge.

Doubt it. The Dubs want a wing defender (or two) to replace Oubre, preferably one that can also switch to 4 when Draymond plays the 5. And I don't see how both teams can match salary.

He is intriguing but personally I'm lukewarm toward guards with tunnel vision. Bouknight gives me the Marcus Thornton/Nick Young vibe. If a player is just going to be a volume shooter, I expect him to drop some threes at a respectable rate but he doesn't. On top of that, he doesn't disrupt...

If the Kings trade Fox for Simmons plus a pick, that's overpaying, imo. I'd rather have Fox than Simmons, and the #28 pick is meh to me. If I'm trading Fox, I'd settle for nothing less than a Zion or the #1 pick in this draft. I see this trade as selling low on Fox. .
