[@duyanhng8430]

sabonis, yes, idk about fox lol

[@codycomer4623]

I feel like one of the biggest problems with the NBA is it it punishes teams for taking incremental steps to improve. You talk about it with the kings and to a lesser extent with the bulls, if you’re good, but not a title contender then you pretty much have to just blow it up and get as awful as you can for a few years. My suggestion is to replace the lottery with a single elimination tournament to decide the top 4 pick. (Winner gets 1, runner up 2, winner of consolation game 3, loser of consolation 4) It’d give teams a reason to try to be as good as possible even if they’re not title contenders. And then teams like this can either take good young talent, or have a more valuable trade piece. Either way at least there’s a path forward for them rather than, “welp guess we have to either throw a Hail Mary that mortgages the future or tear it all down and suck”

[@chicagoblackhawks9840]

really dumb idea. it's like they've never followed a sports league

[@davidarrington4144]

I think their issue is they don’t really have a true 3rd option or borderline elite 2-way player. Sabonis is great, but is easily neutralized come playoff time and he needs to develop more of a three point shot and some more dribbling skills. Otherwise his only value come playoff time is rebounding and occasionally being able to beat guys in the paint. But when a strong interior defender is present, he’s nowhere near as effective and that’s a problem for a max contract player. If I’m Sacramento, I’d try very hard to acquire Jerami Grant in the offseason

[@slugintub312]

They need to trade for Markkanen and if Dejounte or Mikal Bridges could be on the table them too. Markkanen solves a lot of their issues at the 4 since he can both play solid defense and be a very efficient off ball player and if I'm them I'd rather trade Keegan Murray for him from a timeline perspective and assume you'll be able to re-sign him. Maybe if they want a lower cost option Alex Caruso would be a decent option at the 2 spot, but either way I think Keegan Murray probably needs to be traded if an opportunity like Markkanen comes onto the table.

[@gabrielbk5626]

I wouldn’t mind if the Kings kept the roster together for 1 more year then reassess at the trade deadline, the Kings this year are a better team than last year despite the worse record (conference just got more competitive). Every player on the team got better defensively and they are a better rebounding team. Fox has gained a reliable 3pt shot, Sabonis has gotten a little more versatile around the rim, and Keegan added a midrange shot and started driving to the rim more.

[@SKOOBZTERZ]

[@shanefrederick7731]

Can't trade any picks that aren't unprotected 2029 and 2031 because the Hawks pick won't convey yet.

[@iankinzel]

The Kings had the 15th ranked offense, and the 14th ranked defense. So they aren't that defensively challenged, and the issues they do have on D have nothing to do with Sabonis: -they had the 10th best defensive 2p FG% -they gave up the 7th fewest shots at the rim -they led the league in defensive rebounding percentage -they gave up the 3rd fewest points (and the 7th-lowest FG%) against opposing centers Defensively, the glaring problem is on the perimeter: the Kings gave up the 2nd-worst opponent 3pt% (38.7%, behind only Utah's 39.5%). I don't care who you have at center - Rudy Gobert doesn't solve the Kings' defensive woes on the perimeter. I understand a big-time rim protector can empower perimeter players to overplay shooters, but the issue for the Kings was simply lack of effort and lack of following through on close-outs. Coach Mike Brown voiced a number of complaints throughout the season about the roster failing to execute the team's defensive scheme on the perimeter, and about guys failing to close out. Other than that, the Kings just simply lacked firepower. They need to have another guy who can reliably score 20 if we tell him, "We need 20 from you tonight, here's the ball."

The Kings hold their 1st rd pick because they did not make the playoffs. Monk says he wants to return so Monte needs to do whatever he can to get him his money. The Kings need to trade Huerter, Davion, and maybe Lyles to improve at another position. Keegan improved defensively, but it hurt his offense. Fox needs to improve his BB IQ and stop launching 3s. He needs to attack the cup more and return to his middy that was so potent. Sabonis needs to work on his middy and FT line shot to open up his game. Monte has his work cut out for him in the off-season, but the Kings have a good team. They're just missing one other player to reach another level....they need one more stud definitely!

I find it funny how content creators talk about this team this year. No, they actually do not have one of the best offenses in the league. Its actually more middle of the pack. They actually have improved defensively due to their backcourt lineups 2nd half of season. Going from 28th def rtg to 15th def rtg end of year means they were a top 5-8 defensive team to finish the year. No, keegan is not a decent defender. Hes actually an ELITE defender, the stats prove it. This team needs another shotmaker or playmaker especially if monk isnt coming back. I agree, talent is kind of middling for this team.

[@clanvan]

Defense finished top half of the league and was one of the best down the stretch but that didn't necessarily lead to wins. One could argue that the reason they weren't as good in a better Western Conference was their offense was inconsistent. They weren't the Kings of last season as far as their offensive abilities. In my humble opinion, first priority is to hopefully re-sign Malik Monk and add another dynamic creator/scorer. And I agree adding a backup center to upgrade off of Alex Len would be great. But I will say we got the most out of Len and I thought he did excellent work down the stretch. Murray will have to take another couple of steps forward and the defense needs to be there the entire season. Go Kings!!

If I were the kings one place I'd look back to is Toronto, specifically for 3 players: Jakob Poeltl, Bruce Brown & Chris Boucher.

Boucher with his wingspan, length, can occasionally hit the corner 3, plus Masai like just throw him into the deal with no additional cost.

[@mileskane100]

They don't have much flexibility going forward due to the protections on the pick going to Atlanta. They have the decision to make with the 13th pick, do they do for a backup 5 in Kel'el Ware, or do they go with a replacement for Monk with a scorer like Jared McCain. Are they looking for a defensive wing? The best fit for their scheme is Dalton Knecht, but it will likely mean trading up. The other route is to trade the pick with some salary and a package around Mitchell and Barnes for Kuzma (or someone similar). As for the free agents, depending on what happens with the pick, they can only make small changes Hartenstein? Oubre? Kyle Anderson? Derrick Jones Jr?

The pick is so heavily protected right now Sac can't trade a lot of their firsts.

[@WolfsDE]

Dejonte Murray would be a mistake for the Kings. Not to say anything about his talent. Insanely talented. The worry would be what the problem is in Atlanta. 2 guards who just don't work well together. Fox is a better defender than Trae Young of course, but it would be a worry. If I am the Kings... I am looking at SF to upgrade. Harrison Barnes and Kevin Huerter with a pick or two in a trade and a young player on the bench right now...make a move to upgrade so they have that guy who makes a difference. Then make some tweeks around the margines and bring back Monk and make him the starting SG because he and Fox make a hell of an impact as a guard tandem. If they resign Monk, then make the trade, it would be an easy enough way to upgrade the roster. Maybe making a trade for Brandon Ingram. Not sure if the Pelicans would go for it or not, but worth entertaining. While Javale McGee and Alex Len might both be limited in what they can do as backups to Sabonis, one can do a lot worse than those two as well. I hope that Monte McNair and Mike Brown are sitting and talking and trying to figure out how to take the team to the next level. Because it would be nice to see them in contention next season. I hope they are trying to figure out Mike Brown's next contract as well. Because he has if I am not mistaken, won more games in 2 years than any other Kings coach in the last 18 years in their sqme time period. So, he already has brought this team to a new level so they aren't a laughing stock. Now it is just getting that guy who takes them from good to great. I don't know if Ingram is the right guy or not. I do know they need to make a move though. They don't want to end up going backwards next season and miss the play in and playoffs. They need to get back into that top 3 or 4 seed range. It is possible. They need to be a 50-55 win team next season. Otherwise they will probably see Fox and Sabonis asking for trades next summer. At some point, something will have to give. Just the nature of the NBA.

He comes in and gets them to play better defense, so their record improves from where it was, but then they quickly plateau and then never improve from there. He is not a good X&O's coach (there is a reason when he isn't a head coach he is hired as an 'assistant' defense-coach). I know pick and roll basketball is the preferred style played today, but the Kings need to get some motion going in the half-court (it just turns into a 1 on 1 game), they struggle when they aren't hitting threes.

Defense is about preparation. the kings almost beat the Celtics near the end of the season and beat every top notch team in the league except Huston and New Orleans.. The kings also lost to some of the worst team to..I would say caution about getting into trades that gut the bench, give up first round talent and get old wore out players and cost too much.. I say use the draft and free agency..

Sacramento Kings need pursue Zach LaVine or Jonathan Isaac 🤔🤔🤔

[@richardstevens3114]

I believe we get to keep our 2024 pick because we didn't make the playoffs, which means our 2025 and 2026 picks are now locked up too, they're also protected.

Sabonis and Fox arent a 1-2 on a championship team. Either one would be a nice 2 on a Finals team. Sabomis and Fox will make a respectable team that's fun to watch and might win a round or two. Neither one is at that Giannis/Embiid/Jokic stratosphere.

[@stevenwhiters8928]

Lol huerter/barnes not it. That simple they need to sell farm for J Isaac… I thought Davion was good but never made sense to draft him at all

[@jakelaponder7565]

They need more defense, sabbonis isnt a defender and while fox is better and murry is good theres really not a single succesful team without a proper rim protector

[@kaiskajani5305]

They should go in reverse and rebuild they could be the second worst team in the west next year with everyone healthy only Portland would be worse than them imo so if they moved fox sabonis and others get younger get picks see a development year for Keegan and Keon and try for a top pick in the next few drafts led by cooper Flagg

[@vicenteoliveira865]

Fox cannot be your number 1 guy if he continues to play the way he played last night

[@mikeysbusy]

He literally was the only person scoring what are you talking about

[@vicenteoliveira865]

He never got his teammates involved in the game, doesnt have leadership in these moments, just try time and time again with the hero ball

[@vicenteoliveira865]

@@Csg23247 he started that shit in the 2ND QUARTER, if you did not see this, I don't know what to tell you. The team had no offense and he was a reason for that too.

Try to trade Barnes, Huerter Duarte and Sasha with 3 1's for Lauri and resign Monk. Lyles, Davion, and Ellis can be the second unit. Outscore everyone.

[@qhamarii0]

Kings should try to grab jermani grant & ayton or Robert Williams

[@romelomustdie948]

This is way too optimistic.. blow this team up. They didn’t make the playoffs and the teams under them are getting better, Memphis, San Antonio, Houston.. they’re all coming.. no Diddy

[@ColdHoops]

RESIGN Monk. Trade Barnes. SIGN DeMar in FA. Then improve the bench. 🤷‍♂️

[@BBoyWassabi]

MIKAIL BRIDGES TO SACRAMENTO FOR HB AND HUERTER AND A PICK

[@justbeastup2604]

The kings actually get there 2024 first round pick back since they did not make playoffs.

[@factionjaxon4119]

Is Chris Duarte still playing there?

[@miigaaification]

Do a deal with Detroit for someone bigger

Get rid of choke artist barnes and they’ll be good, why tf would they play him in the 4th smh
