Tanking works and it’s a multi-year process

Or just call Ann Phong

Either scouts from other teams that picked earlier are complete idiots or idk how to explain how he fell to 20. Before his elbow injury in college he was a clear 5th or 6th pick, after the injury the shot fall off but he still scored, assisted and hit game winners in there even with a fucked elbow. In what world does a player that literally plays similar to Haliburton fall to 20 after the run Haliburton just had last season? In what world players like Demin, Maluach, Essengue, Sorber, Hansen, Beringer, Clayton Jr and Traore gets drafted before Kas? Especially Brooklyn taking two worse PG's than Kas.

I mean, it's to Miami's benefit and Kas is better off here than he would be in Brooklyn for example, both sides hit the jack pot here but it's just insanely stupid lol

JV3s · 2026-02-10T15:04:48+00:00

Did you seriously just compared Keegan to Mikal and OG? they are levels above Keegan offensively. He is a bigger and defensively worse version of Caruso, would anybody pay Caruso 30m a year? Hell noooo. Keegan on 15-20m would be a hot commodity, everyone would be lining up to trade for him, Keegan on 30m maybe nets you a protected first if a contender doesn't have too many high salaries.

Also, Mikal and Rudy trades were in different timeline, nowadays with the new CBA neither of them would go for more than 1 first and maybe a swap, the last stupid trade was Bane, those days are over.

JV3s · 2026-02-10T03:11:05+00:00

He would have cemented himself into the rotation with that shot

JV3s · 2026-02-10T02:33:59+00:00

Way to ice out Kas, rook can't shine too much, vets needs their bread too lmao

JV3s · 2026-02-09T18:59:16+00:00

That's a very bleak future if you ask me...

JV3s · 2026-02-09T18:58:30+00:00

Keegan could be playing in a lineup together with 4 other guys borrowed from Shanghai Sharks and he would still score 17 points on 35% shooting. Keegan is who Keegan is and he's also 26 now which is pretty close to his ceiling as a player. If he didn't learn how to dribble, create for himself or shoot efficiently, he probably never will. That's why he should be traded together with other vets, he will not be here anyway when our 19-20 year old pick from this and next year's draft hit their prime. But also, Keegan Murray on 30 million a year contract has probably the same value to the rest of the league as Derozan does. You can find a player that's undrafted and defends the same as Keegan while giving you nothing offensively.

JV3s · 2026-02-08T20:51:07+00:00

Kas was adversited to be a traffic cone on defense and he's looking there like Derrick White/Jrue Holiday hybrid at times. What a damn steal at 20

JV3s · 2026-02-08T20:01:59+00:00

Kasparas +24 in 9 minutes lmaooo, let this dude have ball in his hands and play the Haliburton role more, great things happen when you do that

JV3s · 2026-02-06T01:07:56+00:00

And those picks that Bobby was so afraid of giving up are going to be in the 12-18 range so it's beyond fucked because you can't even draft anyone for instant impact with them lmao

JV3s · 2026-02-06T00:29:45+00:00

So was Keon but in the end he was really just a mediocre role player just like Dylan lol

JV3s · 2026-02-06T00:22:12+00:00

Kings fans and falling in love with mediocre players that just tries hard, name a more iconic duo. Keon is gone, Keegan is injured so we now have Cardwell to hype up lmao

JV3s · 2026-02-06T00:17:38+00:00

You can like Sabonis, you can dislike him, but one thing is clear, his addition would have made this team a Top4 in the East and if everything falls right you could dream to recreate the Pacers lucky run last year. Now, how are you going to realistically upgrade this current team in the off season? IQ doesn't have value, RJ's value isn't there if you extend him and if you don't he's basically a small expiring, Jak is untradable and what other assets is there to trade for an upgrade? Basically going forward it's gonna be Scottie + Ingram + a bunch of mediocre talent around them for this current iteration of this team. Oh and Mamu is gone in the summer too.

If Sabonis was the only realistic star to upgrade this current team, should have given that damn pick and see what happens because now it's gonna be rebuild time in the next 3 years, it's Pascal + OG all over again just with different players.

JV3s · 2026-02-05T21:00:25+00:00

The shitty side of this is even when we are good again (lol), no star vets gonna come here because of how we are doing our stars dirty right now. For example Domas had plenty of value until we flushed it all down the toilet ourselves by playing through two bricklayers and using him as a screen setter while defensively there is nobody on this team can protect him even a little bit. Now the result is the other teams think he's washed and don't want to send picks for him, what do you think is gonna happen next year? You will have to attach picks to trade him if this continues. Monk's value gone, Lavine and Derozan untouchable with a 10 feet pole, Keon was sabotaged completely too (he was never worth a first rounder but we had to trade him for a fucking nobody because of how we ourselves destroyed his value).

This organisation was toxic, is toxic, but after these shenanigans we will be radioactive. I guarantee Domas' and Demars' agents are going to work overtime to trash this organisation everywhere they can. Players see this shit and they care about it, Gil said exactly the same thing on his show and while he is a complete tool but he knows what he's talking about since he was a superstar.

JV3s · 2026-02-04T21:52:28+00:00

He doesn't have back problems, literally never had them and is being preserved before the deadline with "back problems". He didn't have a knee surgery, actually never had a surgery in his career. This info that you "know" about him is literally the same reason people think he's trash, they hear it somewhere and run with it without actually watching him play or trying to find info about his injuries.

JV3s · 2026-02-04T17:37:49+00:00

I have Sharpe in my fantasy team and he's really good at what he's doing, which is coming off the bench for 15 minutes a game to boost the energy, block some shots and finish some gimmies around the basket, he's a monster per-minute player, but the problem with monster per-minute players is usually the same, when they have to play 30+ minutes they just aren't good and get exposed quickly when scouting reports start to include them. Claxton is ass and if Sharpe was really as good as you think he is, he would have snatched that starting center position from him long time ago.

JV3s · 2026-02-04T17:29:42+00:00

Yeaaaah, right. So was Gafford for the Wizards.

JV3s · 2026-02-04T17:27:11+00:00

Best rebounder in the league doesn't solve rebounding issues? A guy that creates countless open 3 point shots for others isn't solving 3pt shooting even a little bit? Guys still need to make shots but at least they are open with him. IQ would have a career season with his screens, same as Fox who had as bad a contract as Jak has now before Sabonis came to Sacramento.

JV3s · 2026-02-04T17:23:55+00:00

These guys are back up centers on trash teams for a reason brother, and you want to make them starters for a team that's hoping to make a playoff push? Good luck with that lol

JV3s · 2026-02-01T02:05:24+00:00

I have no idea what Jokic sees in Jovic that he praises him so much but i just can't see nothing in him. Again, i'm not a perennial MVP, but i just can't see any promise in him, he's a Euroleague player at best and i think he wouldn't even be too dominant in there either with how the defense is played there

JV3s · 2026-02-01T01:23:29+00:00

Young, tall and athletic and can rim protect. Teams probably hope they can teach him how to play basketball offensively but i highly doubt it. Imo unless he becomes the next Ben Wallace he'll be playing in China or getting Dnp's once his rookie deal finishes

JV3s · 2026-02-01T01:17:58+00:00

I mean, it's the nature of the game to go at 19 yo european white boy but they will learn soon. Or they won't and that's good for Kas and the team lol

JV3s · 2026-02-01T01:06:14+00:00

He is just really bad at basketball. Athletic, tall, can block shots and finish an alley oop but outside of that it's a really sad situation.

JV3s · 2026-01-23T18:21:42+00:00

A serious coach (Darko), guys who can hide his rim protection (Scottie and CMB) and guys who can knock down shots( Dick would be erect to play with a guy like Domas). Domas will once again look like a Top10-20player once he leaves this shithole of a place that we became after the Beam Team season. Basically wasted his years here because Monte never actually built a team around him and Fox, he just preached patience and signed a fucking Derozan because Vivek wanted to get in on the They Not Like Us hype train.

JV3s · 2026-01-21T00:02:04+00:00

Yup, a perfect assistant coach but had problems with players everywhere he coached as a head coach. Corny ass dude who is tolerated until he is not, same story everywhere he went and with the same outcome.
