Another sighting of Kings legend Robin Lopez. Is he signing again? What’s is he doing here??

Our main starters playtime has recently been close to 40mins but should come back down to earth to 35mins as the season continues and lineups solidify. We should have minimal overlap between Domas and DeRozan to maximize the effectiveness of our offense so assuming one or both of them are on the court out of 48mins, the math says that you have 13mins they each have alone and 22mins together. Obviously we start our best players together and those 22mins are great but we have maximum offensive efficiency if the playstyle through Sabonis' initiation isn't hampering DeRozan's effectiveness or keeping the ball out of his hands and vice versa.

So, we need three primary offensive schemes:

1. Domantas being our point-center and initiating plays and beautiful DHOs, P&R, swing swing mofo offense. This includes Fox and the squad cutting and scoring effectively - this happening while DeRozan is on the court and serving almost as a standing backup high threat option to the system esp in final seconds of the shotclock.

(22mins per game)

2. Same as #1 but while DeRozan is on the bench. Full engagement in the playbook.

(13mins per game)

3. DeRozan completely taking over while Domas is on the bench. Have a basic continued motion offense with off ball screens but mostly defer to DeRozan ISO to deliver results a he does.

(13mins per game)

We need to improve shooting and defense and other things which is a separate/additional discussion but I really think those total 26mins from #2 and #3 would deliver us the best results on offense.

Monk is playing well in spurts, but he's been REALLY chaotic in stretches as well.

I don't know why Kevin's still here.

Fox is a part-time superstar.

Keon is a stud on defense, but is iffy on offense.

Has anybody found Trey Lyles yet?

everybody else is barely playing enough to matter.

We're not going to have another shooting night like this, but if we look at the season through the lens of 9 games, it's been do or die ball in 4th for a good chunk of them. Walk off Domas shot in Miami, Keegan Murray/DeMar flashes in the 4th against Toronto, even tonight it was a bit of hero ball happening late in the 4th to try and steal one. I mean the games this season will hinge on these 3 guys being able to string it together.

I guess the question the coaching staff has to answer to themselves is, is a scheme fit issue (guys just need more time) or is really a talent fit issue?

We can't play this way the whole season and expect to be a top 5 team.

Our bench is just Monk at this point. This team needs an athletic 3/4, a new 5 and a new 2 badly. Trey Lyles is no longer the same player. Huerter is no longer the same player and needs to be coming off the bench to provide some sort of spark where he’ll be receiving more of a green light. The additions of JMac and McDermott are non existent. Keon isn’t an offensive impact player and should be starting for that reason alone when you have 4 other guys who start in Sabonis, Keegan, DeRozan, and Fox who can create offense. The teams rotations are bad right now. Mike Brown either needs new players or needs to figure it out. My only hope is Devin Carter is a net positive when he joins but at what point is another point guard the answer to this team’s needs? We already have two point guards who are best when the ball is in their hands. And when it’s not it’s in Domas’s or Demar’s hands. This team needs new personnel as the make of this team right now is not a championship level one.

Stop saying that its fox fault and that we should trade him in evrey loss this subreddit complain and so sickening so tommorow we light the beam and were gonna forget about tonight.

At the end of the game I left my seat (119 C 18) without it on accident; upon going upstairs back to the concourse I almost immediately realized I left without it, when I went right back downstairs to my seat it already was gone; only 90 seconds after I left: it contained black medium kings sweatpants, a kings beer cooler sleeve, three kings dancers autographs, and my Kaiser Permanente kings beanie. I’ll call security’s lost and found later for it; if anybody has it please let me know! If you stole it, you’re an asshole.

Fellow Kings fans as we start getting deeper in the season I have been pondering what the team can do for a possible trade or two.

Not preface this is I'm thinking more along the lines of the bench as starter wise we are in pretty good shape obviously.

So would love to hear your feed back on what you would like to see trade wise. Especially considering we are seeing some teams struggle already ( looking at you Bucks) that might give this team that extra boost.

Thinking of the Bucks , Brooke Lopez would not be a bad target for a back up center ... Obviously he is starting to see drop off in his play as a starter but as a 10 to 15 minutes back up to Sabonis would not be a terrible fit.

Right now we have 2026, 2027 first/ second round picks and 2028 first round pick. 6,000,000 in trade exception and 5 expiring contracts with Lyles being the highest at 8 mil.

So what player would you want to get and what kind of trade would you put together.

Talent and 'good' players are subjective, so I just pulled the highest season win totals from each franchise and listed their primary starters. Thoughts?
