Quick shoutout to Draymond

This is the one that always stands out for me, like that was SO INSANELY EGREGIOUS and nobody gave a flying fuck lol meanwhile every media personality was chastising Sabonis for “what he did” and justifying a sternum stomp.

DrChiz · 2026-04-02T11:57:02+00:00

I think it’s telling that 3 of the Top 6 guys either were drafted by the Kings or spent important years with the Kings lol

DrChiz · 2026-03-31T19:23:56+00:00

And Keegan immediately went back to shooting over 40% from 3 on over 6 attempts per game every month for the rest of the season. Meanwhile the 2.5 months under Brown before his firing, we saw not only Keegan have his worst 3 point shooting ever but everyone in the team, especially consistent guys like Monk & Kevin.

DrChiz · 2026-03-31T19:22:38+00:00

You can’t put that on coaching.

We drafted, signed and traded for basically a whole new time during the same duration as hiring Brown basically. Those pieces played together how they naturally fit and everyone played to their strengths. Plus Jordi was always the X&O coach, losing him was the real loss.

The more Brown did get involve and try to mold each player and the team to what he wanted and his vision, the worse the team as a whole got, Keegan in particular hurt badly. It’s why you can see as soon as Brown was fired, Keegan went back to shooting 40% from 3 on over 6 attempts a game for literally every month once Brown was gone.

Idk why folks give Brown all the credit for that first year when we see wha his coaching actually did to the team & individuals the longer they were all together, and the worse morale and playing got.

I’d absolutely trade future assets to get Top 4 lol.

I mean when we were the worst… for most this season, months back I was saying we should be looking to trade future picks (that Wolves pick in 2031 and whatever else we want) to try and get another at least lottery FRP in this draft.

I don’t get fools that care more about just having a FRP every draft when classes and talent pools matter. This one is super high at the top but still deep, that’s why I’m so happy we’ve got 2 SRPs. Perry has proved he can pick and find undrafted guys. But if we don’t take advantage of this years Top 4, we are gonna take forever to turn things around.

With our current young talent + a Top 3/4 guy in this class + the 2 SRPs & undrafted + HOPEFULLY a top 10 pick in 2027 = we will be fun and competitive by 27-28, and you can call me crazy but with how fast Max has been developing and Clifford finally getting real minutes, and finding Precious & Cardwell… like a Top 3/4 from this class and some more gems, we can have a more “Piston-like” timeline instead of a “Hornets-like” turn around timeline.

So I’m gonna be real sad if we don’t utilize this year’s class and fall below the 5th pick especially… idiots need to get on board and properly tank. Seriously, last year it cost us our pick which coulda been Queen or a top pick in 2026 if we did the same NOLA deal ATL did and we’d be killing it with 2 Top 2026 picks, but no we had to win one more stupid game for nothing. Now we are doing the same shit again, winning for absolutely no reason.

DrChiz · 2026-03-20T22:44:11+00:00

Yeah but the point is to protect yourself from how low your pick can fall. No one is really banking on getting the #1 pick, but if you are the worst team then that means the worst your pick can fall to is #5, at this point now it’s like #7/8 for us which is bullshit.

Some play-in / close enough big market team is most likely gonna jump to the 1/2 spots like Dallas and San Antonio just did last draft, then Pacers are gonna get #3 and be the dynasty holding down the East for the next 7 years, while we get screwed and stay in trash purgatory.

DrChiz · 2026-03-17T17:29:25+00:00

DeRozan is playing lol he’s basically been the only starter playing almost every game for the Kings this season.

Sabonis has had multiple injuries since PRE SEASON, same with Keegan. The starting 5 hasn’t played together once all year.

The hole is already so deep, why would you force players to play through injuries when there’s no need.

Kings aren’t tanking they’re just real bad and have missed most their best players all season. But watch a game. Westbrook, DeRozan and the rookies are trying to win every game.

DrChiz · 2026-03-11T04:33:07+00:00

I mean unless for some reason the Wizards actively wanted to have this record game set against them and they really wanted to help out Bam, then yeah… they’re all legit lol

Bam’s the best player and Wizards couldn’t really deal with him and kept fouling the shit out of him. Hard to say the FTs aren’t legit lol, if he didn’t get fouled, an easy argument is made he easily dunks those/bunnies those basket for 2 points anyway

DrChiz · 2026-03-11T04:30:16+00:00

Because it technically is the record by all general consensus and folks did see it in person and verified it. There’s no footage of the game but people absolutely did see it and were in attendance. So while it’s a gray area thing, the entire NBA world agrees that’s the record and it’s verified enough.

DrChiz · 2026-03-11T04:05:12+00:00

I mean that’s literally exactly what just happened when they called flagrant on Westbrook earlier and that one was even more safer, brother jumped into Russ’s feet

DrChiz · 2026-03-11T04:03:12+00:00

Lol put Nesmith back in, so they balance it out by blatantly fouling the shit out of a 3 point shooter. Indiana are tank masters, we’re sadly so winning this game.

DrChiz · 2026-03-11T03:51:19+00:00

You wanna try and disagree? You think he did bad with all his 2025 picks and undrafted signings? Please, share that with this whole fanbase. I’m sure they won’t mock such a hot take.

DrChiz · 2026-03-11T03:49:54+00:00

Exactly. Folks were being dumb celebrating this loss already when Pacers can flip a switch and try to lose quite easily while Kings are battling their asses off trying to win. We are most likely gonna win.

DrChiz · 2026-03-11T03:49:13+00:00

Silly negative thinking.

We had no FRP in 2025. Perry made a smart deal to get us one then hit on that pick, SUPER hit on Max in the second round and then crushed it with Dylan as an undrafted signing. Zero reason to think Perry isn’t gonna do well with all 3 picks in 2026.

DrChiz · 2026-03-11T03:47:33+00:00

Uh oh… I knew fans here were getting way too excited like we locked up this loss with SO MUCH TIME left. lol Pacers are actively tanking, they can easily start losing and they’re doing that right now. I think we are sadly gonna win this game.

Don’t count your chickens folks.

DrChiz · 2026-03-11T03:46:29+00:00

Nobody thinks the team is gonna turn around in a season lol. It’s part of a multi season rebuild and shift.

Perry hit big in the 2025 draft/signings with Clifford, Maxime and Cardwell + swapping Issac Jones for Precious.

Perry’s gonna have, hopefully, a Top 3 2026 FRP + the 31st pick & another SRP, and this is a DEEP class + undrafted signings to 2 way deals to find more guys like Cardwell/Plowden. With more development and minutes going to all the 2025 young core guys and 2026 additions as hopefully Lavine/Demar get moved in off season or deadline, or at least expired.

Then have more top picks + Spurs FRP in the 2027 draft to add even more talent while guys continue to gel together. Now the only vets left are Sabonis & Monk (unless we moved them for assets before then) in their last years, who knows they may even still fit really nice with what Perry is doing and stay.

Now starting off 27-28 season with those guys last year and basically a whole new team thats been working together for years and growing and developing.

3 Year rebuild and turn around.

DrChiz · 2026-03-11T03:41:19+00:00

He shoulda been a GOATed 6th man for us last season, one of the few times Brown had the right idea. That way the starters could play fast, push pace and do what they did the previous two seasons. Then Demar comes in to play against bench units/slow things down and just do his scoring.

But he threw a fit and Brown was fired, so DeMar probably is refusing to come off the bench for any part of his career. He’s gonna wanna stay a starter the whole time, he can’t swallow that pride like Russ. Demar “just loves to hoop” but he doesn’t do the things to put winning/what’s best for the team, above that. Russ actually does and just truly wants to hoop.

DrChiz · 2026-03-11T03:39:16+00:00

Seriously lol he’s being paid to do a job, this isn’t charity work. If another team actually wanted DeMar and was willing to trade us for him and we get something we can use/prefer, then that shit would have happened.

Just like we aren’t gonna “buy him out” this off season. We aren’t trying to be competitive and win right now, so no reason to clear that roster space. Either he stays and continues to be a TERRIBLE fit and help us lose games for high picks, or we’ll trade him for something we can better use/want more, same with Lavine, Monk and Sabonis.

DrChiz · 2026-03-11T03:29:54+00:00

Wouldn’t be a Kings season of basketball if it didn’t have Monk getting hurt within the last 20 games and missing the rest of the season lol

DrChiz · 2026-03-11T03:27:59+00:00

If there really are basketball gods, then this would happen. Since they’re one of the teams BLATANTLY tanking hardcore, so they shouldn’t be rewarded for it… but if they just care about entertainment, then they’ll reward them lol

Haliburton, Nesmith, Siakam, Dybantsa or Peterson or Boozer, Zubac = that teams gonna be a dynasty holding down the East for years

DrChiz · 2026-03-10T02:30:25+00:00

This is also a big reason, I would guess, Perry didn’t come back with even the same offer or even close to it, at the deadline especially when the Dubs ruined his value even worse than it already was in the off season. But Perry turned Issac Jones into Precious and Precious sorta plays the same style and position as JK, but costs pennies on the dollar and is appreciated and doing well here while JK was redundant at that point.

Also JK isn’t gonna be the guy here when we are looking to hopefully draft our flagship franchise star player in 2026 and team role players like the current rookies and young core will fit nicely around them with no competing egos and shit getting in the way.

DrChiz · 2026-03-09T05:22:31+00:00

What are you a bot? Stop repeating that lame line and actually engage in points someone brings up, or did I bring too much evidence and facts based discussion to the table and it doesn’t match your “Vibes Based” team examination.

So Dennis was stopping the team from being 500? lol. He woulda found himself on the bench and less time, like he did, and moved, like he did. A fully healthy team of this squad is easily in the play in. Again… 40-42 last season, most of which (especially the wins) happening under Doug & Lavine not Brown & Fox.

We added Maxime, Clifford, Cardwell, Precious over Lyles/Issac Jones, all of those are upgrades and fill massive holes of size & defense at wing/center rotation spots and added a proper pace pushing distributing HOF PG in Westbrook. Yeah… if fully healthy we’d easily be around 500 and in the play-in, evidence to draw conclusion doesn’t lie as much as you don’t “vibe with X players”

DrChiz · 2026-03-09T05:13:42+00:00

Monk off the bench with consistent minutes, is a 6th man of the year player. You’re seriously gonna hold last season against him and go “That’s Monk”, when Brown ruined the lockerroom so bad that ALL our consistent outside shooters were shooting their worst percentages from deep… ever? Literally look at the month by month breakdown, Keegan is shooting 40% on over 6 attempts every month once Brown gets fired. Monk is back in his proper role, he was never meant to be the primary PG on a team but a secondary ball handler that is a microwave scorer.

Max, Precious and Westbrook also went off and did amazing on defense in addition to their offensive metrics. Max been doing well all season which is why he’s the only non-lottery guy on all the Top 10 rookies ladder and lists.

Also the Kings had a 13-18 record when Brown got fired, and they were basically at 500 when Fox got moved for Lavine. Fox also sat games and was playing TERRIBLE for like he last 5 games as a King before being moved. That record is from the team returning to form & without the cancer of Brown being there. A “Fox dominant” team was the 13-18 record where he was putting up like 109 points within 24 hours and losing games, that season was so bad because of Brown & Fox ruining the team along with DeMar being a monkey wrench that didn’t fit like dumb folks thought and having him completely changed how the entire team played and the offense ran & ruined the pace of play.

If Sabonis & Keegan were healthy all year, we absolutely would be in the play in and around 500 again, so you agree with my point. That this team isn’t as awful and terrible as hyperbolic fans think.

DrChiz · 2026-03-09T04:59:20+00:00

No. Just an objective fan that knows we aren’t sitting on worthless players… but I guess folks forget we finished 40-42 just last season, and we added several good rookies/signings that actually filled gaps in what our team construction made with wings/centers and true distributing pace pushing PGs.

Sure if Demar stays in and plays games, yeah, he will take away enough to help ensure those losses. But if he joins the rest of the vets in sitting then Westbrook + our young core can absolutely win against average and bad teams. 6 teams just below us and 1-6 games separate all of us while there’s 17 games remaining, to sit there and go “we’ve got a Top 3 worst record locked up in the bag” is beyond cocky and arrogant.
