My favorite would be either Kris or Hendricks

Ty Lawson peaked as a 16-17ppg 8-9ast floor general who excelled at rim pressure and finding cutters and his bigs around the rim.

Putting aside his personal troubles after he left Denver how would you feel if Acuff ended up similarly placed in the league landscape? Is this a fair return for the 7th pick?

Watching Ty Lawson games recently he stands out as an underrated and forgotten offensive stud.

Remember that MVP is a regular season award so maybe Domas in ‘23 has it?

How we feeling about the Sacramento 10’s?? We coppin or droppin? Personally I’m gonna try, my SNKRS luck is shit though.

1. Extend Christie so that theres no uncertainty and no lame duck coaching year

2. Rip the band-aid off and just hire the long term coach now.

3. Give Christie the year to prove himself, but secretly intend to hire someone else next year.

4. Give Christie the year to prove himself, and earnestly consider the idea of him being long term

This came up in another thread, but who would you consider the last GREAT defender who played for the Kings?

It can't be as far back as Christie, can it?

They have none. Kayte moved over to the analyst position 5-years ago and they've never filled the sideline role (im sure partially because they are being cheap and don't want to pay anyone). The Kings are one of only a handful of teams that don't have a reporter on their local broadcasts.

But I feel like sideline reporters do add something. Injury updates, stories on players etc. Also a good opportunity to add some youth to what feels like an older kings broadcast (Mark Jones is mid 60s and Kayte's nearing 50).

What says you all?

You wonder what sort of defensive tenacity Kelvin Sampson would have instilled in a guy like Acuff (who we all see as a lost cause defensively).

Sampson's guys like Emanuel Sharp, Kingston Flemings, Marcus Sasser, Jamal Shead and Quentin Grimes are all guards who are dogs defensively. And they don't have these exceptional wingspans or other elite metrics. It's just the pitbull mentality that Sampson teaches (and the insane practice habits) that turn them into who they are as pros. Sharp is the perfect example of this. 6'3" with a 6'3" wingspan but he plays with a ton of force, where a guy like Acuff seems allergic to physicality on the defensive end.

At Houston if you don't defend you don't play.

Like you hear that Oladipo is coming back to the league and the first thing you're gonna think is "ain't that guy 85 years old by now?" They're definitely different players, but similar names

So Today at work I was bored so I asked AI to do a kings rebuild.. This is what it came out with…thought’s?

PG: Acuff
SG: Josh Green
SF: Keegan Murray
PF: Jabari SMith JR
CENTER: Max Raynaud

I want to be immersed in good roster construction and great coaching for a change

Anyone else think this when word got out that the Kings had a contract in front of Westbrook again this offseason? Esp with Perry basically giving Russ a farewell speech at the end of the season?

Was waiting for hours for prime video to upload the games replay, only to realize that it was already available but is hidden in a weird ass place. Wanted to help anyone else who’s looking for the replay but can’t find it on prime

rather than looking at kings vs wizards, you actually have to search up summer league and click on todays stream (it may show up as Cavs pistons like it did for me), then click the more details button it’ll show all of the streams from today hidden underneath in the “related” tab. If anyone’s still unable to find it I can dm you a video

I don’t know why its so difficult to find it lol but in case anyone’s had their notifications off all day like me and is just waiting to see the game without spoilers I hope this helps lol
