    I guess I’m alone in feeling like, as much as players travel, the Kings are seemingly getting away with a ton of it….

    Looking at the schedule (like Woodey Paige) I think we win seven more games at the most and end up at 35 wins and 47 losses on the year.

    I'm glad we're not paying two bench guys $30m/year. Would almost certainly mean we wouldn't be resigning Grant if we had those two.

    That would be ideal. Will be hard for Dame to allow that to happen. We'd have to shut him down.

    Keon came into the game and we lost our big lead in minutes....he's not shot well this season at all.

    I mean Sharpe can’t really be either. I thought he’d be kind of on display. Are they trying to stunt his value so other teams will back off in demanding him? It’s weird really

    Just play Dame with some load management. Allow him to make an All NBA team and let the cards fall where they may and that's where I see us.

    Billups plays Reddish 20 minutes and Shaedon Sharpe 10 minutes.
    What the fuck.
    We kind of needed a go-to scorer when Nassir Little decided to quit shooting.

    Sure, but no way Keon was the best asset we could get back at that time. Don’t like either player we traded but not even 1 late first? Still a bad trade.

    This is the problem I have with the trade deadline. By not giving Chauncey a roster that makes sense with his philosophies we also have a second season where we can't really evaluate the guy. So I guess we make an all in move on draft day and hope that Chauncey will add to that roster and not sabotage it. I've always loved the words coming out of Chauncey's mouth but words and actions are two different things. I guess we'll just have to wait until next season like a lot of things.

    Reddish looks absolutely awful. Not sure why some folks thinks he's "showing" something good. All he's showing is that we had damn well get that first round pick or we got totally screwed in the Hart trade.......

    Would you trade him for Sharpe’s upside?

    What’s the last coach that was hired to immediately tank his first 2 seasons?

    How many guys did they have in the All Star game? They should be well rested
