Harden really having a game, may be rounding into shape.

Fox is great even in a blowout. Going to bed, Clippers up 20, maybe Kings will come back and win

fox is incredible but kings need to be active at deadline. They are a piece or two away

I remember when people were massively down on Fox (think Bill Simmons had him as one of the most untradable contracts in the NBA). Just goes to show you that you don’t write off an obviously talented young player and also coaching/system makes a huge difference.

Kings are a darkhorse for Zach Lavine and the price will be cheap. They’re going to say **** it, all offence baby!

Jaime Jaquez (18th pick in the draft)on the heat is contributing a lot and is in the rotation. And the Heat don't normally play rookies much.

He looks so much more NBA ready than Gradey my goodness. SMH

It's crazy so many of our guys dominated in the g league right away. (Delon, Pascal, Freddie..) Gradey is so lost out there. I would honestly keep him there till he shows consistency.

No DeRozan or Lavine and the Bulls somehow beat the Bucks, go figure.

OG would really put them up a few notches. Not that I want him traded, nor do I think Kings have much to give.

He is 3 years older than Gradey.

That matters

They played their butts off. 14 OREB, 14 STL, 32 AST, clutch three to send the game to OT, clutch steal and layup in OT.

We're almost the definition of mid which is around where we assumed we'd be on the high side in a development season. Still think there's room for improvement on the D side.

Jimmy Butler was a 22 year old rookie. Jaquez passes the eye test.

This list being primarily owned by the Casey/Nurse/Thibs school of coaching is really something.

It's just a bunch of Raptors/Bulls/Knicks players with the leagues superstars in low team years sprinkled in (with that one Minny year thrown in).

Masai and management had infinite cache and authority to do whatever they wanted post championship. No one would have questioned their direction. They could have been come out and said - we need to rebuild our pool of assets for our next sustainable championship window and fans would have been fine with a 3/4 year process. Instead he’s burned up all his goodwill by mostly doing nothing for the last 5 years.

Wish we had Sam Presti as president. OKC is in a fantastic position.

Do guys watch Wemby play and wonder what could have been if the tank was given the go ahead last year.
