I see that Richaun Holmes is now out for health & safety protocols. With the way this virus is spreading like wildfire, can’t help but wonder who is next and how will that affect the team’s play? I’m not necessarily thinking about adversity as much as I am opportunities for the unproven. That’s...

We are loaded with centers like some other teams are loaded with wings. With Holmes signed, Queta drafted, Thompson acquired, and contracts with Jones and Metu now either guaranteed or partially guaranteed, we've got six centers looking for playing time: Holmes Len Thompson Jones Metu Queta I'm...

I would prefer that we end the tradition of putting up welcome threads when so many people are just going to tear that player to shreds. If you must, why not tear em up in a more appropriate thread? This is the dark side of social media which I obviously don’t appreciate. Say what you wish...

We've had the annual "To tank or not" discussion. But I am not a fan of tanking the way that some Kingsfans are. The closest I can get to advocating tanking is to craft the roster and coaching staff so that your goal of developing young talent is more important than favoring role players who...

I posted a new thread on Nov 8 called "Your top three choices with the Kings #12 pick." The purpose was to speculate on the three players we each thought were most likely to be chosen by the Kings at #12. Twenty-four Kingsfans voted over the next 8 days. I promised to tabulate the votes before...

I recently read an article about Harrison Barnes having the Kings' worst defensive stat (with the exception of Kyle Guy). I don't remember what the stat was or what the source was. But the way Barnes is disrespected around here, I'm thinking that some of you will know what this is about and...

Let's see your top three choices for the Kings with the 12th pick in the draft (in order of your 1st choice, 2nd choice and 3rd choice) - based on who you think will be available and chosen by the Kings. This is NOT about choosing the top three picks in the draft. The object here is to choose...

PG: Fox. All day. Plus we need to find a quality backup PG who is a playmaker (not Joseph). Might be willing to keep Guy around as our 3rd PG and/or pencil in a rookie. SG: Bogi w/ a new contract (assuming we don't overpay). Baze, if we can sign him for a reasonable/team-friendly deal, and...

Short blurb on Bleacher Report that Peja has stepped down. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2904825-peja-stojakovic-reportedly-expected-to-step-down-as-kings-assistant-gm Hopefully Luke will follow, but I doubt it.

Kingsfans is beginning to feel like rolling through a ghost town. Can we get back on track, please, with some talk about the Kings and who should get the minutes when the games return? Here's the ROSTER: Marvin Bagley III Harrison Barnes Kent Bazemore Nemanja Bjelica Bogdan Bogdanovic Yogi...

On April 3 a Sacramento Kings press release announced that the Natomas arena would be used as a hospital to help with the Coronavirus pandemic: Today, the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services announced plans for the California Department of Public Health, in collaboration with the...

Whatever. It’s beginnng to feel that Marvin doesn’t recognize pain that he can/should play through vs pain that will get worse by playing through it. Of course, I could be wrong and Marvin is a warrior. But I don’t think so. Whatever happens, do you think Giles will get some minutes?? Nah...

Leading up to this season, many (if not most) Kings fans had decided that Fox and Bagley were our two top players. And now we're without both of our stars (to the extent that Sacramento is allowed to have "stars") due to injuries. Bags' broken thumb may be ready to play in another 2-3 weeks, but...

Woah. Source:

It’s time for the NBA to look critically at its outdated and unfair regional (Western and Eastern) conference structure. In the interest of fairness, such a structure assumes that, overall, there is parity between the teams in the two conferences. But that hasn't been the case for two decades...

Guess I just want to go on record as (still) being a big Bogi supporter. And not just in general, but as integral to the Kings core. I know his sophmore season wasn't what we had hoped for. But he was coming off knee surgery and missed the beginning of the season. Then it took him a while to...

Marvin Bagley III - outside shot, right hand, playmaking Harrison Barnes - new multi-year contract with the Kings Nemanja Bjelica - needs to develop a quick release Bogdan Bogdanovic - defense in the paint, dribbling less Willie Cauley-Stein - new address De'Aaron Fox - strength and stamina...

The Kings still haven't been mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, but does anyone here still have hope for that? It seems that we are resigned that next year will see our return to the playoffs. I can live with that. It's a shame, however, that we and the team have lost confidence since...

This is the 2nd of a 4-game homestand for the Kings (34-35) and follows a big win against the Bulls on Sunday night. I'm not going to say anything in my post about the Kings and their playoff hopes or failures. I think they just need to play hard and smart and things will turn out the way...

NBA.com calls this a "soft patch in the schedule" for the Kings (33-35). A 4-game homestand begins today against the Bulls, followed by games with Brooklyn, Dallas and Phoenix. The Kings may not be heading to the playoffs this year, but I expect them to play with heart and hustle the rest of...
