Although we've already gotten through part of our toughest stretch of the season, as noted by @Rain man in another thread our next 11 games are BRUTAL: So, basically, this is where the rubber hits the road. Let's see how we do, starting tonight at Cleveland. The latest word suggests that...

In what may end up being the final NBA game in 2023 (Magic/Suns is scheduled to tip off at the same time) the Kings will try to finish up a 3-game road trip with a winning record. The Grizz have an atrocious record of 6-20 this year...when Ja Morant doesn't play. But when he does, they're 4-1...

Here's an Athletic article with a tiny tiny bit more detail for those who subscribe: https://theathletic.com/5044569/2023/11/08/nba-draft-format-days-2024/ Sounds as if NBA teams want more time between picks, especially in the second round, as wheeling and dealing becomes more popular. If...

I dunno, but the Clips don't have a pick to send until '28 so it's not like there's some massive draft haul there for Philly. The Clips have a lot of ways to make salaries match, with Covington and Batum both around $12M expiring, Morris about $17M expiring, Zubac and Mann both around $11M on...

It appears that college basketball has started, with #9 Tennessee badly hurting #4 Michigan State in East Lansing early on. But my real comment here is that it's amazingly appropriate that the commentator working beside Bill Raftery is named Connor Onion.

Well, with training camp fully in swing, it's obviously time for the Kings Doubters to come out of the woodwork We'll start with none other than John Hollinger, who predicts the Kings to come in under their Vegas line of 44.5 wins...

https://theathletic.com/4886754/2023/09/21/nba-rule-changes-flopping-second-challenge/ Looks like there are three pretty important rule changes for this year. 1) Second Coaches Challenge: If the first challenge is successful, the team's timeout is retained and a second challenge is awarded -...

I branched this thread off from the Jordan Ford thread, as it seems the mere mention on Queta's name (in reference to who would get the last two-way deal) spurred far more discussion on Queta than on Ford. I'm editing posts as necessary to segregate the two...

I've been running a little thought through my head that Duarte may be "Gerald Wallace Insurance" in the unlikely event that the NBA decides to hold an expansion draft in 2025. It sounds as if the NBA doesn't want to talk expansion until hammering out some media contracts, so that probably means...

I looked into this a bit yesterday, and didn't really want to post it in one of the draft threads because But I thought it was at least worth a discussion. First off, in order to ask this question I'm going to have to define what a "quality player" from the draft is. Obviously this is a...

https://sports.yahoo.com/exclusive-sacramento-kings-owner-among-001010567.html It appears that Vivek is one of seven finalists in a bid to purchase the Ottawa Senators. But - don't expect hockey in Sacramento, it seems that the deal will be contingent on the owner keeping the team in Ottawa.

Woof.

Well, the 2023 trade deadline is now over, and while the Kings didn't make any major trades, they also didn't make any major firings. As most on the board are probably aware, @The_Jamal and @kb02 had an outstanding $100 charity bet hinging on whether or not Monte McNair would be fired by the...

I've closed up the previous "Next 8 Games" thread, as we're past that. 5-3 was a really nice result for that one, and I think as @sactowndog suggested, it did say a lot about our team. Now we've got a very different stretch coming up. In our next 16 games, there are 12 home games, and only...

Any questions?

It's obviously time...so, go!

With the draft less than a week away, there's been a lot of talk about what we SHOULD do, but maybe not so many bold predictions about what we WILL do. So let's fix that, poll-style! The question, then, is simple: What will the Kings do with their lottery pick in the 2022 NBA draft? Note that...

In a game that is notable only because it has the potential to be the very last game of the regular season (there are 5 other games starting simultaneously, so probably not) the Kings (#7 slot in the lottery) will be playing the Suns (#1 overall playoff slot). The Suns will be resting Chris...

Only two games left, and the Kings are locked into he #7 slot in the lottery. Since there's no incentive to lose...there will be no rooting for losing in this thread! Go Kings!

It's not an April Fool's joke - we just enjoyed the first game so much we're running this thing back again! Come for the basketball, stay for the exploding heads when we inevitably win!
