My point was more in response to the notion that the Kings rushed into extending Barnes without trying for anyone else. I’d guess teams have a decent sense of how the market is going to play out, even before free agency technically begins.

We don’t really think free agency begins on the official date, do we?

Speaking of, Shams reporting “mutual interest “ between the Magic and Klay. https://www.hoopsrumors.com/2024/05/shams-mutual-interest-between-magic-klay-thompson.html#ref=home

LeBron and JJ are about to be the first ever co-player/coach/podcast host duo.

Isn’t the Davion Mitchell pick a significant counter example to Monte supposedly preferring offense in the lottery? Sure, it’s just one example, but Monte’s pick history is not really the largest sample either.

Yeah, if I had the time, the stats I would be interested in taking a deep dive into would be comparing the offense from last season to this season, both individually and as a team.

yeah, I’m wondering if the surprising output just says more about that stat than any of the teams?

I see they’ve been posted here already, but you may have been thinking of my post here: https://community.kingsfans.com/threads/king-in-arabic.96290/page-4#post-1804099 it’s the Huerter numbers that were surprisingly better, to me.

Well, I’d guess this is just some crummy aggregation. The Athletic recently ran a survey of NBA players that included a question of who was the most overrated player in the league. Domas was tied with four other players with 2.5% of the vote. 81 votes were cast, so if my math is correct, that...

Right, Indy just traded picks for Siakam, Cleveland traded several and swaps for Mitchell, and of course Minnesota was dragged for all the picks and young players it included in the Gobert trade but it appears to be working out for them. I suppose all these moves are “successful” in that I would...

“Undefined” just like the duration of Green’s suspensions from here on out.

Forgot about that. If I remember correctly, he defended it in the comments saying Monk was something like the classic score-first 6th man candidate, as if that was a bad thing, and as if Monk didn’t also lead the league in assists off the bench. Basura.

I ran the numbers and posted them somewhere earlier in this thread, I think. The Monk+starters lineup actually performed worse than those with Ellis or Huerter this year. Last season, though, the Monk lineup outperformed the Huerter lineup. Would be curious what is behind that, it certainly...

I believe that NBC story is just a re-write of the Athletic article I posted earlier. In that piece, they reported that Brown doesn’t necessarily have 2 years left, the last year is a mutual option. It wasn’t specific about timing, but I didn’t have the sense that Brown is just now asking for an...

There’s a limit on stringing together options, though, isn’t there? Like you couldn’t just offer to take on the risk and have a 1+3 years of player options?

So, 12-player draft it is, then!

I’m seeing some talk that the Kings should promise Monk a starting job to convince him to stay. Is that a good idea? Taking a look at lineup stats on nba.com, it appears that the lineups with the 4 other usual starters (Sabonis, Barnes, Murray, Fox) performed worse this season with Monk than...

Slater and Amick report in the Athletic’s Kings postmortem that Brown’s 4th year (2025/26) is a mutual option. He’s looking for an extension, but ownership hasn’t offered one yet, preferring a “wait and see approach” so far. More here...

Wasn’t sure which thread the Ringer’s post mortem should go in, but this has quotes from Monte, so why not here? I’ve drifted away from their content the last several months, but this is by the usually solid Howard Beck...

I would love for Kessler Edwards to turn out to be even half as good as some posters here think he is
