Trae Young is playing much better. I may have been wrong about this kid! His scrawny build and subpar athleticism is a concern still but he has limited his wild threes, he is a nice sneaky natural playmaker and he is trying his best to survive on D. I expect Fox to torch him again but maybe...

He's the same useless player who got hot for a couple of games. Don't drink the kool aid. Running floaters from 15 feet are bad shots even if they go in. His free throw rate is a sham and his mechanics from deep are kind of jacked. He does not extend completely at the elbow. He short arms...

We can add Otto Porter when the Wizards fire sale occurs as soon as this weekend. December 15th is when free agent signees can be traded. We need an upgrade to check the longish scoring wings in the West to become favorites to make the playoffs, maybe nab ourselves home court in the first round...

This is a placeholder for my 2nd annual Kings season preview which will be dropping soon. Within 48-72 hours or less. I have 4043 words written so far since Saturday afternoon. Some of my best work, I must say, modestly ;-) Once I rip off another 957 words I will post. I am editing not...

Magnificent Marvin can make his teammates better by the attention he draws. He is going to command attention in transition as fastest big on the floor, out of the pick and roll through versatility to drop or pop or slip, and on offensive glass through swim moves tips and second and third jumps...

Dear Kings Fans, Don't worry guys, this years pick will work out like Jackson over Kuzma. You gotta trust Vlade. He knows a lot more than you do. Vlade smoked cigarettes between games. If anyone has the proven work ethic to uncover the next transcendent talent, it is this man. If you don't...

The steady ascension of Clint Capella has been spectacular. Here’s a guy who outplayed KAT in the first round and Rudy Gobert in the 2nd, two of the best centers in the league. While the takeover ability of CP3 and Harden will foretell a lot, the play of Capella in WCF may be the most...

The Kings need to do something strategically transformative this summer. The man in charge is more inclined to do something tragically comical. The goal of the season mercifully over was to define a core for 2018-19 and beyond, a hyper-competitive contingent capable of a Top 4 seed and deep...

I will be updating this thread as the tourney progresses. Share your impressions on the top prospects and wannabes! Observations on Trae Young: Meh Premature balding Looks malnourished :eek: Got royally faked out of his shoes on one play and probably cost himself three draft spots right then...

No one is going to argue with the professionalism of Garrett Temple. He plays hard and smart whether his shot goes in or not. But it is time to part ways. Unfortunately he followed up his 34 point game versus the Magic with a 1-7 clunker diminishing his trade value in the process. I would...

Who wants to swap De'Aaron for Lonzo now?!? This "future superstar" is NOT even as good as Frank Mason! His pro debut was an embarrassment! Down by 30 on their home floor against Clippers team that did not even play that well! Here's a guy who got body bumped to the floor by Patrick...

(Note: This is continuation of one post since there is a 2000 word limit. See Part I first.) Bogdan: I don’t have a lot to say about Bogdan other than he is an extremely fundamentally sound. The guy is highly efficient in his expenditure of energy on the court to be where he needs to be...

This is not a prediction. This is a projection of what has to happened for the Kings to shock the NBA world. Is it likely? No. It is possible? Yes. Anything is possible. That is why they play the games. :) This is the time of the year when fans are killing time until glorious preseason...

I am creating this thread for those who have access to NBA TV to see Orlando and Utah games ahead of our first game this Friday! Here's my impressions watching a few games so far: Donovan Mitchell (aka Lillard 2.o) looks great tonight.....definite All-Star potential! For those questioning...

I am going to start this thread for reaction and discussion to the bevy signings likely happening in the next couple of hours..... WOW! Paul George to OKC. Danny Ainge strikes out again! :) Magic Johnson half-baked plan goes up in smoke! :) I knew Magic was fooling himself to send...

The Celtics are trying to land Paul George (19.3M) and Gordon Hayward (max player). They need to clear space to get these two players with starting salaries adding up to over 40M. They are one of the few teams with a glut of wings, with Tatum and Jalen Brown. The odd man out could be Jae...

I think we will look back at tomorrow in coming months and years as one of biggest days in Kings history if all goes well. It will be pivot point in franchise from irrelevancy to legitimacy. From laughingstock to stacked. This team is not that far away. But the 2 to 3 to 4 pieces we need...

Even if we are fortunate enough to draft De'Aaron Fox at #5, I would not mind us drafting this kid at #10. He reminds me of Damian Lillard. :) He's flying up the draft boards! He measures at 6"1 he has a 6'10 wingspan and solid 201 pounds! I will take this guy 8 day a week over Dennis...

It might be good news Westbrook broke Nuggets hearts tonight with amazing buzzer 3 and eliminated from the playoffs. If you are Malone, you give your main guys night off Tuesday in Dallas, right? It is emotional let down so its going to be tough for them to get up to play that game. The Mavs...

Based on the information I gathered listening to a few podcasts tonight, I think the "better trade two days ago" Vlade was referring could have been Fournier and Vucevic from ORL. It sounded like Boogie's agent sabotaged the deal by telling ORL his client would not sign extension. The reason of...
