    Keegan Murray

    I know, right? However, I want to be the first to proclaim that Keegan, within 5 years, will be the first NBA player to make 100% of his 3-pt shots. Mark my words!

    Top 3 Key Questions for the coming year

    1. Can Fox become a decent defender? He doesn’t need to be The Glove, but he needs to be a whole lot better than he has been so far. 2. Can Murray become the player we think we got after watching his summer league play? If he’s even close to (being) that efficient, he will be a big contributor...

    Richaun to miss rest of the ('21-'22) season

    It’s a friendly contract for a starter. But not for a back up center. I think we’ll use him in a back up role until the right trade opportunity comes along.

    Mark jones

    I’m shocked and saddened that some of our Kingsfans would have a problem with Mark Jones. What are we to do?!

    Welcome Kevin Huerter

    Why does everyone here seem to assume that he’s a shooting guard? I haven’t followed him, but I do recall one article that said he was more effective as a small forward. I guess we’ll leave that to Brown to figure out. But again, why assume he’s a shooting guard when we don’t know that for sure?

    Welcome Malik Monk

    I haven’t been a Monk fan in the past, although he proved last year that he could light up the scoreboard. DDV’s potential excited me, and I was looking forward to seeing what he could do for us this year - assuming the ankle was 100%. But I trust that Monte had good reason to doubt DDV as our...

    KINGS PICKING 4TH IN 2022 NBA DRAFT!

    I’ve been trying to keep up with this thread, but not posting, because I see a repeating pattern that we always seem to fall into. Haven’t we learned our lesson? More than once? The GM’s and the agents are playing with real money. They find it in their interests to create distractions, or to...

    Mike Brown hired as Head Coach

    We have our fair share of “mentals”on this board, but he’s the one person I had to put on my ignore list.

    [Game] Kings @ Rockets, 4/1/2022 5pm Pacific, 8pm Eastern

    So you’re saying that context matters?

    [Game] Kings @ Rockets, 4/1/2022 5pm Pacific, 8pm Eastern

    Yes, Davion missed his first nine field goals. But he still ended up with a double-double. He distributed well and defended well. When is a double-double a “bad game”?

    [Game] Kings vs. Bulls, 14 MAR 2022, 7pm PT/10pm ET

    History is not the only thing that repeats itself around here.

    [Game] Kings vs. Nuggets, 2/26/2022 6pm Pacific, 9pm Eastern

    This was Davion’s worst game. Ever.

    Love that everyone is healthy (except TD). Now if they can just hit their shots, we can be competitive. Maybe even interesting.

    Kings waive Louis King

    I’m sorry to see King get released, as I thought he had potential. But if I’m the Kings GM, clearly we need another PG for those times (like now) when Fox and Davion are not both available. DDV has some of those skills, but he’s still rehabbing his way back to the game. If King becomes a major...

    Building around a Fox/Sabonis core

    Yeah, there’s that. But the guy lost his mojo and his timing and instincts are all wrong. He doesn’t even seem to have his motor back. If he can rediscover his better self, I’m happy to have him as a backup center. But the drop off we’re looking at these days is hard to watch.

    Building around a Fox/Sabonis core

    I like Monk. If we didn’t have Davis, I’d say yes, sign him up! But we do have Davis, and I like him a lot. Given that the subpar defense of Fox is here to stay, and Sabonis (for all he brings to the table) is not a great defender, is it too much to ask that the rest of the team be really good...

    [Game] Kings @ Wizards, 2/12/2022, 4pm Pacific 7pm Eastern

    Rubbish. Of course it matters who is making the draft choice. And of course a higher pick gives you better odds (unless you’re a BFI).

    THE FOX AND THE OX AND THE FALCON AND DAVION

    No. Don't we always turn on guys after signing them to extensions? Can we give this poor guy a day or two before we turn on him?
