Kings need to move. They ain’t been competitive since Peja and Mike Bibby :huhldup:

Kings have historically never been a good franchise outside of the Webber years and their early years in Cincinnati :manny:

As far as this current Kings team, based on the personnel they have I’m just not seeing a path where they aren’t getting lit up defensively every night.

Nets' first round picks the next few years:
  • 2023: Houston has right to swap
  • 2024: To Houston
  • 2025: Houston has right to swap
  • 2026: To Houston
  • 2027: Houston has right to swap
They took their shot that they paid for, but that window's closed. The big damage though is they off-loaded their future.

Should have really tried to trade those two for a shytload of picks this offseason when their value was higher.

It's not too late either, they say Durant/Kyrie is on the market right now and other teams who have a legit shot at winning will shell out future picks.

We still have Philly's pick for this year. They seem to be on the same path as us so 5th-8th seed material.

I have no idea what they're doing. Their two best players can't shoot and are bad defensively. Good luck.

I wouldn’t even mad if the league gave the #1 pick to Sacramento as they arguably need it more than any other team in the league.

We only had the #1 pick once, ONCE!!

That was in 1989 for Purvis Ellison :trash:

We had so many draft picks the following year from trades . If Purvis was decent and Ricky Berry didn't off himself Summer of 1989 , :francis:

Team feels cursed how much bullshyt I've had to deal with being a longtime fan.

Damn you've really been here.

I got in during the Webber era and it's been one hell of a ride.

I knew Haliburton wasn't going to work out when we didn't draft Luka. As much as guys will say we should have kept him, this organization doesn't want to go that way with 2 guards that can pass and score. Very traditional.
