Why does it have to be a first this year? The team is super young already, so I don't see why it has to be a first THIS YEAR. If we got a first in 2021 and a rotation SF who is young, I would totally be into that.

Well, in no small part do to my fandom. When the season ends I love going over the prospects. Would be a boring few months there after another non playoff season til FA

I'm excited about seeing Bjelica with the Kings this season. With all the skills he has there is no reason he shouldn't help unless the coaching staff blows it.

That was solely Divac intervention and impact his big influence in the club. I was often critical towards Vlade but this time I am taking my hat off in front of him for making this possible. This was confirmed by Serbian NT coach Djordjevic, he was thanking Divac for letting both SAC Serbs come to this September FIBA window. Let me say at once that they will surely not be on Djordjevic`s October FIBA window list of available players. On the contrary all other NBA teams were mostly strict when this topic is concerned. It is interesting that for match against Greece which Serbia still lost on Crete SAC Serbian duo was available while Kosta Koufus did not play for Greece. But I don't know the reasons for his absence. Actually Greece played without their NBA'ers but still they have more experienced, a more standard and a better assembled team.

Vlade should have shut down Bogi this Summer. He’s being paid a lot of money to play NBA ball. The Summer national team stuff is minor league and needs to take a back seat to the NBA season. Not happy at all with Bogi putting added miles on his body this off season.

I am with you here - and were you one of the one's that wanted Donic… that would have given the depth at Wing that we wanted and another ball handler. But even there... Bagley/Giles might be it...

I thought Doncic certainly fit the supposed vision of the franchise better, but in the end I think Bagley will turn out fine. Early on it hurts because it appears as if Jackson still has a death grip on that spot for some reason. Jackson looks just enough like Matt Barnes to coach Joerger that his role is set for life.

Now there is an argument I cant win. Agreed. Vlade should have shut him down during the NBA season.Sactowndog wrote:City of Trees wrote:Vlade shutting down Serbian National Team NBA players? Thats not happening.Call Me Geoff wrote:

Vlade should have shut him down last March when he was clearly exhausted. Instead they played him big minutes for no reason and the kid got hurt. Just another example of poor kings management.
Yep. Same crap. I can only blame different sets of players for so long.... Its Joerger.SacKingZZZ wrote:
To be fair I haven't watched much preseason at all, but they are running the same crap as last year.
