I'm not gonna be too negative but come on near perfect off season lol run it back next few years money is dry now with all the re-ups if kings prove me wrong I'll gladly eat crow but I don't see it west is just too strong
That is a good sign to be honest absolutely love your content man you are one of the best kings' creators out there
Amen. Matt. Wanted to hear your 1.1/2 cent$.
Mo & Deuce got me singing the Noel song…
THANK GOD!!!!!! FINALLY
Monte is buying distressed assets and resigning known commodities. It’s smart!
Solid addition.
He traded Wright for TT
Essentially Holmes and Metu for Vezenkov and Noel. Not bad.
It wasn't Whiteside Monty traded Delonte for, it was Tristan Thompson…. Whiteside was signed as a freee agent, I believe a year earlier. Utah signed him the next year.
I think it also helps with in the paint scoring. Put backs, layups and dunks. Something the Kings struggled with against the Warriors.
Yes, his rim protection and rebounding is his primary ability. Absolutely agree.
But, if Sabonis gets in foul trouble early or Len is having a bad game, it is a good thing to have Noel on the bench. Someone Fox, Mitchell and Monk can pass to and know he can get an easy layup or dunk, which helps sometimes change the momentum of a game.
For me…this is a good signing.
My one worry is if he can stay healthy. He has had issues with doing that at times.
But I know it helps the defense a lot. I do think Alex Len and Nerlens Noel will be competing for that primary backup role. No questions about that. But that is a good thing. Because Len knows he has to bring his A game all season if he wants those minutes. So does Noel. I think Len has the edge early on, but he has to earn it and keep it.
Domas really wasn’t BAD in the playoffs, not at all. Idk why people claim such shh. What hurt us more was none of our shooters showing up, HB, and rebounding (Domas was right near szn avg, this is on EVERYONE besides Fox who stepped up a lot)
Man we may as well sign Bol Bol. This is stupid. Missed on cam reddish and bol bol for duarte and noel. Everything monte does is not perfect. Watch bol shine in pheonix
Maybe dwight howard wouldve been better
As for Queta…I think he is done. I think the Kings knew this was the case and that is why they signed Noel. Because Queta is going to sign somewhere else, they know it and so they grabbed Noel. His agent might have given them a heads up on this. I can see Queta signing with Dallas who needs front court help. I can see Detroit going after him. I can see Miami going for him. I am not sure about their roster depth, if it would be a roster spot or two-way contract. But, I like the Noel deal because he provides an upgrade on defense.
All of this is dumb as hell to me….we out here buying antiques. People saying “we’ve wanted him FOR YEARS”!!!! What school did he go to 80 years ago? Kentucky? Think he left before Ant didn’t he? Ion’t know y’all??!!! If I need to upgrade the engine of my car I’m not going to buy a brand new bolt instead of a piston. We out here lookin crazy fam. We trippin. First we re-sign Harrison (old as hell!!!) now this 😂😂😂😂😂 now this!?!?!?! 😂😂😂😂😂. Man you literally on here sayin he gon just “hold the line”….Man what????!!!! Here we are on the brink of doin something real, then we like “holeup, let’s think about this”. Whaaaaat???!!! Why couldn’t Queta be a real player??? Sounds like too many analytics to me. Damn y’all how bout we just get some young cats that wanna HOOOOOOOOOP!!!!!???? I’m sick of this kind of thinking….if I see my center getting his tail toe up on the boards (which is why we lost) can’t we just at least try to see if somebody can get us the ball off the boards??? (In my whiny voice)….”nah he’s probably only a G league guy”. Hell Sabonis was getting kilt on the boards like he shoulda been in the G League fam. Stop makin in so complicated!!!!
*it
Vezenkov bess be shootin like Peja!!! And we should’ve let Holmes play, he bet not come back and kill us!!! The only look that was solid was getting Chris (Duarte), he can hoop!!! Like it’s crazy to say let’s “go cheaper even if he’s not better than Holmes”! And stop saying we winnin with Harrison….cmon man, y’all shoulda gave some money to guys from Stockton that are hungry!!! Hoop is a solid (meaning really good) veteran to an up and coming young man’s game! We out here signing the Fred Sanford’s of the league . You’re a great host as I love your spirit…but man stop stamping these choices unless they tellin you “dontchu get on that podcast talkin $@&$ about us!!!! We will fire yo tail”!! 😂😂😂😂 if so keep the positivity goin.😂😂😂😂😂
I like it.
Sorry Matt, you’re wrong on this one. It’ll go Sabonis > Lyles(Smaller Lineups) > Noel(Larger more defensive lineups) > Len(IR)
I'm satisfied with the Kings for signing him.
Matt, because of the additional two-way player, I think Monte might not fill that 15th spot to have flexibility for a trade one player for two later. Also, hope he invites Souley Boum (Colby's pt. guard) to training camp and at the very least get him on a Stockton contract afterward. I watched every Xavier game last year and this guy is super quick, long, defends, rebounds, and silky smooth shooter. Davion and Ford are small, so Kings need to add a player with great length down in Stockton to develop and put on some more muscle.
I think this is similar to the Kent Bazemore move, Bring in talent and let them battle for a spot on the roster.
Whiteside was a free agent that trade was for TT lol
Kessler Edwards took James Johnson's roster spot in Brooklyn. 😂
