    [NBA] East Playoffs, Round Two

    He had 20-10-5 last night against Boston. I'd gladly take that. Who would you want? Or maybe, who could you possibly get? Holmgren is off the table, obviously.

    [NBA] East Playoffs, Round Two

    But I thought the Kings had the worst shooter in the league? Sasha. Right?:p I get what you're saying, but you know how big guys typically develop late. I wouldn't mind giving him a try.

    “RUN IT BACK!” / Monte needs to fix this.

    Timing is everything. At the end of last season Heurter's value was up, up, up (and of course few wanted to trade him). Now after this recent trash season and his commensurate plummet in trade value, who thinks that he's going to be traded this off-season for anything of value? McNair might be...

    [NBA] East Playoffs, Round Two

    The worst in the league? Hardly. Though if Monte wants to employ that exaggeration in negotiations to get him for something reasonable, I'm game.

    [NBA] East Playoffs, Round Two

    If they get terribly disenchanted with their team, I'd love to see Evan Mobley in a Kings' uniform.

    [NBA] East Playoffs, Round Two

    I'm curious why he wouldn't want to be here. That always sounded bogus to me, like a weak excuse from someone in higher management. I think Heurter would be totally redundant and would be gone. Monk would still do his 6th man thing, complement DDV, and would be an asset. I think DDV is...

    [NBA] East Playoffs, Round Two

    It kills me to see DDV play like a freaking stud in these playoff games. If only the Kings could have managed to keep him. He's a stud on defense, a killer making shots under pressure, who has a high BBIQ. The guy is a total winner as far as I am concerned and the Kings could use him as a...

    “RUN IT BACK!” / Monte needs to fix this.

    The video was informative on the numbers, but unfortunately doesn't have the conclusion for which I'd hoped. Bringing back Monk is status quo. And although I'm a big Murray fan, I don't rest easy to know that any significant progress on this team is going to come from him taking a very big...

    Then I think it's highly likely there won't be "issues."

    Following Potential *2024* Draftees

    Well, he hasn't had a bust so far, so I'd consider that a positive. And "work" can mean that an asset is traded for another asset that is more complementary.

    Following Potential *2024* Draftees

    Yes. It's all about value. If other teams don't see Mitchell's value, then you keep him. If they overestimate his value, then you trade him. I don't see Monte predetermining any move or direction before he has a firm handle on where other teams want to go and what, if anything, they are...

    “RUN IT BACK!” / Monte needs to fix this.

    And unfortunately for the league, OKC has a ton of capital to go out and get that physical big man that they are currently lacking. I'd be surprised if they don't take a pretty big step up next year.

    I hope McNair isn't dogmatic in drafting "experienced" college players and discounting the more talented more rawer prospect. Sometimes the talented raw prospect is Kobe Bryant. He better not pass on one of those because of a "win now" mentality.

    Keegan “KEEGAN MURRAY” Murray

    Yes. Murray's development has more to do with what is between the ears than in any particular skill. I still say the best thing I've ever seen him do is run like a freaking fast moving train around a screen at top of the 3-point line, receive the ball, stop on a dime, and bury the 3. I just...

    De’Aaron “Austin Reaves Sr.” Fox

    So do the analysis. Sabonis is one of the more consistent players in the entire league in effort and production. So who is next on the list? Fox, of course. He's the most talented player on the team and a blind man can see how inconsistent he's been. He's the poster child for a player who...

    If he thought it would bring a championship he'd do it in a nano-second. If he thought it would get him to the 4th spot in the West, no way, imo.

    “RUN IT BACK!” / Monte needs to fix this.

    There is no core on this team, per McNair's non-statement in his presser. He traded Halliburton and he would trade Fox, Sabonis or Murray in heartbeat if he got the right deal. Nobody is untouchable. For most "core" is just a synonym for who they like on the team and who they don't. It has...

    More running doesn't necessarily translate into more spray 3s.

    “RUN IT BACK!” / Monte needs to fix this.

    The questioner mentioned Fox, Sabonis and Murray, and then threw in HB and Heurter. McNair didn't bite on any of the names and inferred that nobody is untouchable.

    “RUN IT BACK!” / Monte needs to fix this.

    Agreed. If anything, he leaned into the question even more by indirectly mentioning that he's shown he's not adverse to making big change (the Sabonis-Halliburton trade).
