    Bogdan in action overseas

    Serbia vs Russia should be a great game! I would like to see if Bogdan outplays Shved in this big game. Actually, I am surprised by Shved. He has been fairly impressive. It is strange that he did not make it in NBA.

    Otto Porter Max contract offer now moot

    Come on :). I lived in Brooklyn for some time. It is a great and fun place - very hipsterish now but that's what millennials usually like. It might not be as touristy as Manhattan but I personally liked that part.

    Cooley plays hungry and angry .. old school kinda guy.

    Milos Teodosic (split from PG thread)

    I think CSKA just improved the offer. Now it is 5 year 33.9 million deal after tax. That's a lot of money.

    Kings Swissed-Defense

    It's gotta be inspired by something like this. Probably means smth bad :)

    Farewell Kings

    Well ... I was born in Eastern Europe ... I live and work in Bay Area ... and I am a fan. And I feel just like any other Kings fan whether he/she lives in midtown Sacramento or Tokyo or London. Of course, we do not owe anything to pro teams but I just cannot change teams. I cannot stop following...

    [Game] Kings v. Timberwolves - 2/27/17 - 7:30PT/10:30ET

    At this point, I care less about wins, I just want the young guys to get some solid playing time. I want Papa to play at least 15 mins (let him struggle and learn), Skal, Malachi and Buddy should play 20 mins minimum, every game. Make WCS our main C. KK, Tolliver and the rest should be under 20...

    [Game] Kings v. Nuggets - 2/23/17 - 7:30PT/10:30ET

    We lost about 50% of our fan base after the trade and yet this website is overwhelmed with traffic ;) and keeps failing.

    Fandom aside, which team are you going to watch more - Kings or Pelicans?

    I like Cuz but I care less about the Pelicans. Why would I watch their games? Maybe I will watch the first game with DMC and that's it.

    Are You Still a Kings fan?

    Yes, I am a Kings fan. I was not born in Sacramento or California or even America, I do not live in Sacramento area but I am still a fan and always will be. It is not an easy time to be a fan of this team, I understand. I understand that we are going to lose some people but the fans are going to...

    [Grades] Grades v. Magic 11/3/2016

    WCS is the biggest disappointment for me so far. He is completely lost and does not have crucial big man skills. He talked a lot about his work ethics and so on and it does not look like he really cares. Only talk a-la Donte Green. He has unique gifts just like Kirilenko - long, athletic, fast...

    Clippers vs Kings 10/18 final preseason game

    Ben just makes so many mistakes and Willie looks like a 10 mpg role player

    Free Agency

    We did not know what his agent asked the Kings to pay at that time. They might have panicked when the Kings rescinded the restricted tag and signed that deal. On one hand, the Kings removed obstacles for Curry, let him sighed a deal with any team much easier, on the other hand, they told the...

    Skal Labissiere

    I personally always believed that it was Mike Bratz's role. Obviously, I do not know it for sure, but IMO Malachi Richardson and Skal were Mike's picks. Big Papa and Bogdan were Vlade and Peja's guys.

    [Game] SL: Kings v. Hawks (7/13/16)

    Skal has an Ectomorph body, so yes, he will not look like a bodybuilder a-la Arnold but you can still put more muscles even for this type, just have to work harder and it takes longer. I have the same body type and I know how frustrating it is sometimes - you work very hard, getting so much...

    I know. That's what I meant :) I am a jew of Ukrainian origin, so Russian is still a lingua franca in my family and Bogdan means and sounds exactly the same in Russian and Serbian.

    +1 The same story in hockey. European prospects (mostly Russians and Scandinavians) that stay in Europe longer tend to be much much more successful. It does not work this way all the time but usually it is the recipe of success. Big Papa has the goods (huge size, speed) but he clearly needs...

    Bogdan is a very meaningful Slavic name ... Bog means God. I am not sure Bogdan will be happy with Bo or smth like that :) taking into consideration that Serbians are very religious people. May be we can call him Dan .. very easy to say and remember :)

    I do not know who was responsible for creating this SL team (Peja?) but we have absolutely no talent beyond drafted players.
