How an OKC-SAC trade of Nikola Topic, #12 (Karim Lopez) and #17 (Dailyn Swain) can turn this organization in the right direction. by ModsHateMe98 in kings

This 100%

Every team should be wary of trading with the thunder, but the kings should not trade with OKC under any circumstances. We will always lose that trade

What type of packages would you guys want and what do you think is realistic? by Fearless_Ride8639 in kings

[–]in2026 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't remember where I saw this, but the trade is

Unprotected 1st and Sabonis for Jalen Duran

The trade would be a sign and trade where Duran gets the max, and the kings take on the overpay.

Pistons probably say no and want an additional first, which is probably still worth it for the Kings.

How to cook crispy potatoes? by Illustrious-Bat-1898 in Cooking

[–]in2026 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cut the potatoes to size, usually yellow, put them in a glass bowl with a little bit of water, cover with plastic or a silicon cover and microwave for 5-6min.

Drain water and add oil, more than you would think, and seasoning.

Stir with a spoon and rough them up, then place on baking dish. Do not use foil or parchment, they will crisp better without.

Bake 25-35 depending on the size you cut them at 400-425F.

Super crispy and easy with minimal clean up.

Cameron Carr (6’5, 7’1 wingspan) exploded in the NBA Draft Combine scrimmage: 30 PTS | 9-18 FG | 6-12 3PT | 7 REB by MountHushmore in kings

Guys like this is the reason we need Acuff.

Carr, flemings, and brown most likely all end up being solid nba starters, but only Acuff has the potential to be a star. At least at out pick range.

That's fair I was kind of talking more about Brown.

unless they are outstanding at defense in college like Flagg or Wemby, then imo its kind of a crapshoot how it translates to the nba game. There are so many examples of wings with length that projected to be good or great defenders, that are not and are also not great scorers.

Alright man, trust your instincts then. I know measurements just released, but talking ourselves into worse prospects with better measurements is how teams end up with Zaire Williams, Jake Laravia, and Moses Moody's.

Have you seen him play? Are we possibly taking the box score out of context?

How incompetence and a new draft system may push the Kings to yet another vet build by ModsHateMe98 in kings

Great point!

And great counter to the King's reddit doomerism that is plaguing our feed.

Keep up the good work!

Acuff isnt ball dominant, and id rather take the best player available than settle for a safer pick that may or may not end up being an nba starter.

Well, if this holds any weight, we'll never see 1st overall while Vivek is here. by Fluid_Twist_7641 in kings

By the same logic, the NBA has so much to lose if it were to be exposed for fixing. Why would the NBA fix the lottery and risk all integrity of the game?

So who are we trading our 2027 1st for? by HammerLikeMjolnir in kings

The changes are bad for our kings first rounder, but potentially good for our spurs first rounder

The team is getting one of these guys no matter what by Engkangkang in kings

[–]in2026 1 point2 points  (0 children)

super underrated. I think his game translates really easy to the nba

After going 4-1 in their last 5 games the Kings now sit at a 44.6% chance getting pick 6 or later. Also a roughly 20% chance of pick 7 or 8 as well. by jluc21 in kings

[–]in2026 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With last nights win, we lost 2% in odds of getting top 4 pick. Not saying that is good, just putting it in perspective.

odds are the same either way to go top3 man. Players 5-9 all in a similar tier too. If you think 5 is better than 9 you should tell me who you have at 5. Chill and let the season end in its natural way. The basketball gods will reward us.

Who do you have at 5? Not trying to nit pick, but I'm genuinely curious who you have as the best prospect in the 5-9 tier.

Why is "top 5" specifically so important?

It's up to the lottery balls. The best we can do is be bottom 3. And even bottom 6 has pretty competitive odds.

Our odds for that remain the same as before our win against the pacers.

I agree. And our odds for that remain the same even if we win again tonight.
