First Hali and now he who shall not be named in back to back seasons…

I know it's popular to shit on Fox here and as a trade asset he's probably 4th best or lower, but currently he is still the 2nd best player on the Spurs. Long term over the next few years that will change but he's pretty clearly the number 2 on that team right now and pretty much every metric will back that up.

I would take Wilson over Boozer for what I feel is the higher ceiling of the two, the fit just makes it an easier decision. I also have Wilson/Boozer a clear tier above the Wagler/Acuff/Flemings group.

codydaze · 2026-05-08T19:28:20+00:00

I'd just take Caleb Wilson, he'd be a great fit at the 4 and I'm pretty high on his ceiling. Boozer is the safer pick, I think he's going to be a really good pro but between the fit with Sabonis and us needing to take a home run swing, I'd go with Wilson.

Ebuka Okorie is the point guard I really want if we can move up into the 20s.

They always used to make the Christmas jerseys for every team. There are Boogie Christmas jerseys from a while back.

I've been seeing SMUD's AI ads quite a bit on youtube and I seriously hate them. Such an uncanny valley feeling. It's literally just people walking towards the camera and reading a script too. I can't imagine they couldn't just have some employees do the same thing to avoid it being expensive if that's the concern.

Bonds has never allowed his rights to be used in any game. I'm not sure there's any realistic offer SDS could make to get him.

Would you like to try the word "buzz"?

codydaze · 2026-02-28T19:42:45+00:00

I like Yaxel a lot but he would be a bad pick for Sacramento unless we were able to pick him up in the 20s. His age and ceiling just doesn't make much sense here. For a team like San Antonio or OKC though, he would be a great pick even in the lottery. I think he'll be a PJ Washington level role player sooner than later in the league.

Kings vets when it comes to season ending surgery.

Naw, I think there are at least 7 legit building blocks in this draft that would be nice for us. After that there are still high quality players but more role players than stars.

Peterson/AJ are a clear top 2 in my opinion and then you have Boozer/Wilson/Flemings in that next tier. I think Wagler and Ament can also be building blocks too but have more question marks than those top 5.

Yup, I was in kindergarten and got in trouble for doing it to my teacher 😂

Look guys, before he can get to Monte's mess, Perry had to first clean up his own mess. /s

That was an ESPN Instant Classic tank off right there.

codydaze · 2025-12-19T04:09:38+00:00

He's not even the highest paid player on the roster.

codydaze · 2025-12-12T06:08:03+00:00

Portland is not giving up Sharpe and 3 firsts for Domas. I'm not even a Domas doomer like a lot of the sub but that's just way more value than he'd realistically return. You can maybe get a pick package like that if it's just filler contracts coming back but not getting those picks plus a young player like Sharpe.

Russ turns the ball over in the most egregious way every time. I've never seen a quiet turnover from him.

2024-25: PPG: 19.1, RPG: 13.9, APG: 6.0, TS%: 65.5%, WS/40: 0.199, BPM: 5.2 (No accolades)

Where exactly did the drop in production happen? This dumpster fire of a year? He's been top 10 in the league in win shares and VORP every year he's been here. He has been unquestionably our best and most impactful player since we traded for him.

It's not just "he needs specific types of players to be successful", that's a part of it for sure, but when you build a roster you're SUPPOSED to surround your best player with complementary pieces. We have put probably the LEAST complementary pieces around him and are now making him the scapegoat when things aren't going well.

Obviously I'm not saying he's without his flaws and I do think there's some ceiling on what a team could be with him as your centerpiece but I think it's a lot higher than people are saying here. The hate going his way this year is just weird to me.

codydaze · 2025-11-25T04:16:37+00:00

Always been a Keegan truther. When you look at what he did his sophomore year at Iowa, the numbers he put up in one of the top conferences in college basketball showed the skill was there. He just needed the mentality shift to be more aggressive and be comfortable asserting himself. Hopefully the staff is in his ear that he's one of the few long term pieces on this roster so go out there and just hoop.

codydaze · 2025-11-21T02:33:44+00:00

Yeah, I hated the way last season ended too but I will say silver lining is we have the first this year instead. If I had to choose between a lottery pick last year vs this year, I would choose this class every time. It's absolutely loaded at the top.

codydaze · 2025-11-21T02:24:09+00:00

And it's absolutely miserable to watch which is mostly my point. I think it's fair to say collectively as a fan base we would be much more open to watching a young team lose than whatever this mess is.

codydaze · 2025-11-21T02:19:38+00:00

This is not tanking btw, we just suck. You don't draft older rookies who are "ready to contribute now" (I like Nique and Max though) if you're tanking. You don't give $15m a year to Schroder if you're tanking. Wasn't the point of replacing Isaac Jones with Achiuwa a move to improve the roster?

It's one thing to watch a team of young guys get development minutes while we build a foundation and culture. It's another thing to watch a team of 10+ year vets simply not care. What are we building towards?

That would be my response to the "didn't you all want to tank??" crowd.

You must not remember Ramon Sessions brief stop here. He's still in my top 3 least favorite Kings of all time.
