This team would win a championship in 2017

But, why? The Kings already have Schroder, Ellis, Monk, Devin Carter and LaVine. Other than Carter, how do they find minutes for everyone without a trade for a wing/power forward?

Death charts should look something like this
Sabonis _ Eubanks _ Šarič
Murray (inj) _ Raynaud _ Jones
Derozan _ Clifford _ McDermott
LaVine _ Monk _ Ellis
Schröder _ Westbrook _ Carter

When would you guys say Russ transitioned from superstar to role player and why?

Because he can be a game changer.

If anyone was gonna do it, it was gonna be them. That's what everyone thought and now our foresight is reality.

Light the beam

That's a championship roster on 2K. Firepower out the wazoo.

Play-in hopefuls in reality. :lol:

I think Westbrook can help the Kings. He's still pretty athletic and a great passer.

Just because his Laker stint was a disaster doesn't mean he can't contribute.

Honestly, Westbrook surprised me last year with the Nuggets, so I give them that. Monk needs to be traded now I believe?

I would hit Kings under so bad right now, but I just bought new PC and I am out of money :lol:

The collection of players 2026 Kings have is all timer IMO, it is up there with Nick Young, JAvale McGee, Andrey Blatche, not on that level, but it is somewhere close... They just need to get Vucevic and Lamelo Ball somehow, and loser puzzle woudl be complete.

He has only averaged less than 10 field goal attempts per game in one season in his career and that was with the 23-24 Clippers. That lasted 11 games.

Then he goes to Denver and is their 4th option with 11.1 attempts per game.

Now, he is going to be a King, and be a disaster for them, so has he really been just a role player yet? He has been a main option on all of these teams except for the Clippers. Maybe not a superstar but he hasn't been just a role player.

Could he be nominated to be the best journyman in NBA history?
