I'd rather be on the Kings than the Pacers tbh.

I think Sacramento is cool... but I also live here so I'm biased. Vivek is just such a **** show. If they get a culture changing coach in they may be able to overcome his dumbassery.

Trash move for the Kings. What in the **** is Sabonis/Fox/Barnes going to do? Make the play-in game?

You get the right coach in there, get one more good starter, Davion Mitchell has a good 2nd year, and some good on the margins moves and yeah, they could make the playoffs.

It's all on Fox/Sabonis.

Oh its job preservation. I honestly think they never get a locked in Zion so if NOLA management and ownership were smart they'd look at what the trade market is and stop trying to build around him to make him happy.

Its hilarious that a guy comes in and is always hurt and then is pressuring the team to get better or he's out... He's given them like half a season of awesome basketball.

It’s really all about what the franchise wants to do and not every franchise is going to try to NBA 2k themselves to a title. Making the playoffs is a reasonable goal when it’s extremely rare for the franchise to do so. Keeping Zion happy, who could be a LeBron/Curry type marketable athlete, is also reasonable.

Even without Zion, CJ should give them enough gas to have one of their better seasons in recent history.

Cy sees it like I do. The Kings did some decent business here.

They are going to give Davion Mitchell (who plays amazing defense) more of a chance to shine. Hield had to go.

I'm sure the Kings would rather trade Fox than Haliburton, but they know they are getting something awesome with Sabonis while shedding Hield.
 
now that's how you rebuild a franchise. instead of relying on pure draft luck, Pacers got themselves a surefire allstar calibre PG for the next ten years to build around so even if they aren't going anywhere for the next 3 years, they don't have to sweat for one bit because they extended their timeline to 2025 and beyond with Hali at the helm

Sabonis is incredible.

He's playing on a team without real shooters, yet he averages 19ppg, 12rpg and 5apg.

Randle is 19+10+5 and 24+10+6 last season. Everything that makes people hate Randle, Sabonis has them also.
 


I honestly think they picked the one guy I wouldn't trade on that team. Fox might have had one statistical outlier shooting season and his defense is trashy trash. Davion is good but might have a lower ceiling than some think. Haliburton is so unique and good. He allows you to be really flexible with roster construction and they swapped him for a very inflexible piece. They had 3 point guards they could trade and they picked the worst one of the three to move.

Buddy Hield is overpaid but he's useful. I just... Kangs gonna Kang.
 
Danny Ainge’s son played with Sam Merrill at Utah State. DL used his platform to sign people from his kid’s school… here’s hoping Ainge signs Merrill :)

There are stats and there is just pure talent.

Sabonis could go to any team in the NBA and immediately make them better. He has a skill set to play with anybody.

When you are both wrong I will call you both idiots and you will have no choice but to join hands and fight me... It will make you both feel icky and be totally worth it... both of yall should dig in hard.

Except for their shooting efficiency…which is kind of the biggest pro for Sabonis and the biggest con for Randle.

Sabonis wasn’t worth Haliburton and it was a a bad deal…but he’s a good player. Randle was good for one year.
 
I think the Kings are ****ed no matter what they do tbh.

Really should just go scorched earth and truly reset to get the top top tier talent, but then again they did that two years ago and took Marvin Bagley over JJJ, Trae Young, and Luka Doncic.

And now he's playing with two starting guards who both shoot 30% from 3 or under this season....

That's why I said they have more work to do.

I do believe that Barnes is probably better than anybody Sabonis has played with in a while though. Sacramento has made a good start, but they definitely have more work to do.

Bruh please. I do not agree with Lopo. I just think the Kings are probably better off getting really good players to try and win now instead of doing this long-term fail rebuild that will be more painful because it will be longer.

Don't be petty Cy. It's not a big deal if we agree on something.
 
It sort of feels like we're either going to use Ingles' contract to get Josh Richardson or just use it in a salary dump with OKC, I think the salary dump is the more likely option. I don't see us making any other moves. Prepare to be frustrated and disappointed.
