2018/19 NBA REGULAR SEASON

[Paulius]

 
Feel like he's a finished product and that somebody could overpay for him considering he's on a very good contract.

True, good point

His contract is gold

Riley does need to figure things out though. Id say blow it up

Guys like Hassan need to go

 

[Paulius]

Kings are so fun
Buddy went off yesterday once again

I really woke they throw money at Tobias or Middleton this summer

They need a few more pieces

 

[NV]

Saturday you mean? Got another big home game tonight against the Spurs. 
 
Tobias would be lit. Slide Marvin over to center and let Tobias stretch the floor. I feel like he might want to come home and play for the Nets though. 
 
What we really need is some help down low. WCS is a RFA this offseason but we should look to upgrade down there. Someone who can consistently protect the paint and not just when they feel like it at the end of games. Allowing an ungodly amount of offensive rebounds has also been a big problem this year. 
 
How's Vuc's defense? He could be someone worth while 

 

[Paulius]

Wouldnt surprise me if WCS is back with the kings on a great contract

Bagley has been doing nice lately, or maybe just in games ive seen him, idk

But yea Harris would be sick. Clippers might try to keep though if Jimmy or Kawhi dont join them

Its cool that Harris bet on himself and declined that contract at the beginning of the year. JWest woulda came up on top once again

 

[Paulius]

Vucevic a future mav though

#EuropeanTakeOver

 

[NV]

Kings got some European ties too! But you're probably right about that haha
 
Bagley has definitely been great lately. Joerger finally giving him consistent minutes and he's been great. He's really our only guy that you can throw it to in the post and let him go to work. WCS just rim runs, Giles is still very raw, and Bjelica is mainly outside. Bjelica has also been brutal lately so hopefully Marvin enters the starting 5 sooner rather than later, but they like to have someone start at the 4 who can stretch the floor. 
 
I would welcome WCS back on a good contract but he was very vocal before the year about wanting to get PAID. Now someone giving him that kind of money is a much different story but we'll see. It's also been said that he's available for trade so they might be anticipating such. What kind of contract you think he gets?

I don't think anybody questioned whether or not Marvin Bagley could score at the NBA level. That always seemed like a forgone conclusion to me. How's his defense? He was one of Duke's worst defenders of this decade last season and was one of the main reasons that team last year was forced to play zone.

 

[Paulius]

He has some nice games at times but overall i think hes a 12-15M per year guy imo. Even paying 15 would kinda hurt, but if you get him at 10-12, thats nice imo

Problem is that some desperate shit team will overpay him though and kings shouldnt match if its too much

But dude, this just came to me

How about Sabonis at the 5? [emoji102]
Pacers need to figure out what theyll do with turner and him. They both cant play together but will have to get paid

From the games i’ve seen, Kings are just a hungry young team who have smelled blood and now just out there competing. Even Bagley(from what i seen)

He did always give me that KAT vibe though

 

[Paulius]

Fox Buddy Sabonis

Doncic Kristaps Sabonis


How dope. Thatd be so great

He's played almost exclusively at the 4 but he does struggle the closer you get to the rim. Now as I'm saying this I'm realizing sliding him over to center is probably not the best idea. He plays with a ton of energy and tenacity though so he still creates some havoc and gets defensive stats. (I know that only means so much) Per 36 he's a steal/block and a half kind of guy. 
 
His rebounding ability is also huge to grab that board after a defensive stand which has been a big problem for us this year and was especially evident when he went down for a stretch. He's been closing games out and holding his own so his defensive lapses haven't been anything too evident. Kings as unit aren't a very good defensive team either though

Put em in order from best to worst. Dont look into anything else, dont worry who it is, just list it


A. 13/4/3 on 45/33/68 and 54 TS%

B. 21/4/2 on 48/46/86 and 61 TS%

C. 17/5/3 on 49/29/65 and 54 TS%

Since I know who at least two of these three players are, would you mind including the players' ages?

 

[Paulius]

So Durant and Kawhi are better than Lebron because Lebron is 4-7 years older?

Dont use that logic. Age doesnt mean shit if you can hoop

Just list em. Its about right now, not the past, not the future

List em. Which of these players is having the better season?

 

[Paulius]

Whatever

None of you besides me and NV will ever admit that Buddy is having a better season that yall favorite #2 and #3 draft picks from that draft

Better question is, why is Buddy and Fox not getting credit for leading the Kings to a better record than the Lakers so far?

Two leaders

But Laker young guys can only win with Bron?

Shame

Comparing 26 to 21 is much different than comparing 28 to 33 or whatever that difference is. Nobody on this board thinks Ingram is having a better season than Buddy. Give it a fucking rest.

 

[Hurricane Season]

Well, based on the rules that have been established, it's B C A without much debate.

Offensively, you can put Buddy's season up there with the likes of players like Klay this year. Even without comparing him to his draft class what he's doing this year is damn impressive and doesn't get the love he deserves from around the NBA. Hopefully he takes home the 3-point and gets some buzz

Took a lot for you to admit it. I can tell. Even had to throw in a swear word

Good though. Im sure that weight off your shoulders feels good

Thanks
