DeRozan really messed up there rhythm .. when the minutes shoulda been goin to Keegan..

if they want to regroup they need to offload DeRozan asap... maybe even buyout.. uff . play Keegan and keon more..

DeRozan is bench scorer now... he needs to realize this.

He makes every team play slow af

Everybody saying a fire sale coming, but letting Brown go might mean everyone wants to stay now. And then there's the question of having a fire sale for what exactly? Its going to take 4-5 years to get good again after a fire sale and tank job.
Everyone can stay all they want, but that roster is peaking with no moves out there that would make them a better team. Hell, they gave up a pick to help sign Derozan and now might have to send out another one just to move him.

At least Cleveland could hang their hat on Mobley making the leap to keep that team together with Mitchell staying, Murray just hasn’t shown he can be that dude.

This is an organizational failure and Mike Brown was the fall guy when the GM is the one who should have been on the hot seat. The Kings made some bizarre moves in the offseason that made them a worse team imo.
They fukked up when they had cap space after the 2023 season when they finally made the playoffs and wasted it in Harrison Barnes and giving Sabonis an extension he didn't need (while bumping his salary an additional $8 million for the '23-24 season).

They coulda signed Dillon Brooks, Bruce Brown and/or DiVincenzo and extended those two afterwards. Instead, they chose to just run it back without any roster additions. Just insane decision making.

I saw the news on Facebook yesterday, and it was a shocking firing; however, it wasn't surprising. Although I think they could've given him until the end of the year to see the end result of this year's campaign.

The Kings have been very disappointing for the past season and a half after being projected to be among the West's rising teams such as the Thunder, Rockets, etc. It's not all Mike Brown's fault but it's easier to put the onus on the coach because are you gonna trade away your best players (Fox, Sabonis, Murray, Monk, etc) for underperforming? No, so the coach is the one who can easily be the expendable asset, if necessary.

Sure, since Mike Brown's arrival, even with the dismal play, they have been far better than what they were for the past decade, and then some, so it's not all bad, but the ceiling had gotten higher after making it to the Postseason as the 3rd seed and losing a highly competitive 7-game first-round series against the Warriors that inevitably came with a lot of expectations for the next few seasons.

The Kings should be better than what they are currently; they're kinda like the Pelicans in that, on paper, they have the roster to be at least a top 4 or 5 team in the West, but their play has been underwhelming.

This is a huge issue for the NBA, lazy fans.

Blaming Demar is exactly that its lazy. This team already peaked & would not be doing anything without Demar.

Keegan is not the next Klay like people were hoping. He’s a good role player but his trajectory has hampered that team. Sabonis was getting Jokic comps at one point lol he’s not that.

This is all you need to know about the kings owner

Vivek Ranadivé, the owner of the Sacramento Kings, caused a stir in 2014 when he suggested a unique basketball strategy where one player would remain on offense at all times, essentially creating a "4-on-5" defensive situation on the other end of the court; this tactic was widely discussed and considered unconventional in the NBA

This is your owner.. don’t expect that franchise to do anything

Ehhhh Murray and Huerter's shooting has fallen off a cliff this season and it just so happened to coincide with Derozan's arrival whether he's the cause or not.

His arrival was the death kneel for this current iteration of the team, so he's going to get blame for that whether it's fair or not.

Keegan Murray is getting plenty of playing time. That's not an issue at all. Keon Ellis is the one who needs more minutes.
