Kings fan. Born a son of a peach farmer I inadvertently inspired my friend James Naismith to create the game of basketball. He was going to use a pail we fed pigs with but I convinced him that bucketball sounded stupid.
If OKC DEN and MIN did not exist this season the Kings would be on a 27 game win rate for the season!!!!!!!!!!
(Rather than the 20 game rate they’re actually on.)

My new thought even though I think 3 team trades are just dumb as shit to speculate about; how about
Sabonis to Cleveland
Cleveland dude they will accept to Dubs
Garland and Kuminga to Kings
Other players move around as needed.
Garland Clifford Murray Kuminga
Raynaud maybe)

Anybody thinking Raynaud could play some PF next to Sabonis?

I’ve been warming up to Monk being the backup 1-2 to the new pg and Ellis ( fingers crossed).
Murray, Monk, Clifford, Raynaud and Carter cost 55.3 million
Ellis Cardwell & Plowden salaries TBD if they are here.
LaVine,Sabonis, DDR & Schroder cost $134M at least 2 guards must go, hoping all 3.
Murray, Monk, Clifford, Raynaud and Carter cost 55.3 million
Ellis Cardwell & Plowden salaries TBD if they are here.
LaVine,Sabonis, DDR & Schroder cost $134M at least 2 guards must go, hoping all 3.

Specific trade rumors include:
• Kings receiving Tobias Harris, Jalen Duren, Ron Holland, and first-round draft picks for Sabonis
•alternative version includes the Kings receiving CJ McCollum & Corey Kispert + draft picks in a broader trade strategy involving other teams

Ok . The Kings, by picking up Keon’s option year the earliest date they can offer him an extension is Feb 9th, 2026.
So they haven’t snub him, he hasn’t refused, it just can’t be completed until that date
They pushed his cap hit to next year when 🤞 some big $ players r gone

As a Kings fan, is it wrong I was looking forward to watching Wembanyama today more than I was to watching the Kings?
I’m bummed he’s out.

This is AI guess on a Domas to Celts trade
• Anfernee Simons a young guard
• Sam Hauser and Georges Niang provide shooting and role player depth
• Neemias Queta
• Two first-round picks serve as significant draft capital for Sacramento, aiding their rebuilding efforts.

Rumor has it the Kings are finally looking to tear down . Sabonis DeRozan LaVine.
I’ve only seen 2 sources and nothing from Shams yet.

If you could trade DeRozan Monk and Schroder and even if all you could get was draft picks wouldn’t this team still be better than the current team?
1-2 Westbrook Ellis Clifford
2-4 Zach Murray Achiuwa
5 Sabonis Eubanks
Minute distribution & D would both be better
Carter, Raynaud, Cardwell

Rumor I saw on perplexity
Ja Morant: The Golden State Warriors have reportedly explored interest in a trade for Morant, though it's unclear if the Memphis Grizzlies would make their star guard available. A separate rumor suggests the Rockets could trade for Morant, with the Kings possibly involved

Asking people who actually know something. I don’t believe this to be true but are there any legs to the rumor Sabonis requested a trade in the last 10 days?

Remember at the trade deadline DeRozan has a little less than 9.2 owed to him for the rest of the season
That is a small price to pay for a team who needs a hired gun to have a shot at a championship.
He is also only guaranteed 10.0 for 26-27 making him easily to trade or cut for new team.

Our point guards are throwing up over 21 shots per 48 minutes.
They are taking over 23% of the shots.
Historically, they are both bad shooters.
They have got to dial it down to 14 per 48.
This is not a recipe for success.
