Since trading for Zach Lavine, the Kings have not been playing well… it is obviously still early but there are concerning signs for the Kings in the post De’Aaron Fox era.
NBA should be fair but that’s not the case. Everyday changes in life but it sucks that some players get traded or some players don’t get traded. It’s very confusing on their current situation on the team and their contract.
Zachs skill set is actually quite remarkable. Hes one of the best tuff shot making perimeter players ever while also having maybe the worst basketball mind ive ever had the pleasure of watching. Hes gonna drive that kings tank.
Saying “Keon is the only guy who defends” right after talking bout Keegan and not giving him any flowers for his defense is crazy. Keegan is Sac’s best defender by far and takes the #1 matchup every game
I’d say the major problem(as a die hard kings fan who watched every game) is that the same problems are here after the trade. The trade did not solve any problems because length and defense is still the obvious issue. Every team Sac plays they shoot such a high 3% because of the lack of wing defense
I don’t think you want to trade Keegan… I think you need Keegan and another guy like Keegan. Another SF/PF who can guard the perimeter and bash a little bit. Keegan’s on ball defense is awesome, but when he’s guarding a guard one of the guards has to guard a big. It’s a matchup nightmare because you’re trying to pretend that Derozan or LaVine is a SF and can matchup against a Naz Reid or Franz Wagner while Keegan guards Banchero or Ant… it doesn’t work.
They just haven't been able to connect we literally got 2 players(Lavine/Valanciunas) on game day. No time to practice or connect with the team. Once they find it though, they'll be a good team
To the Kings fans who think it's unfair to judge the DeMar and Zach pairing off of 2 games… It won't get better. This was what my Chicago Bulls went through the last few years. They're two iso guys who NEED a pass-first point guard to set the table for them. Without a point who can take the ball handling duties off of them, they're just black holes who have the ability to disrupt their teammate's rhythm. Welcome to mediocrity guys! 😂
SACs unwillingness to do a full rebuild is their biggest issue. Vessel or castle with someone like sochan should have been a non negotiable in the deal and they should of wanted no part of Lavine.
Ngl id say make lavine or DeRozan 6 man. We were winning without Fox before we got lavine. It's not about pride we either have to win or tank rn. I'd say DeRozan. U can still give him lots of minutes. But I still think Monk and Ellis should start
If were all in on win now, i think our best 5 for finishing games are: monk/lavine/derozan/domas/jonas. Have the skill players zone defense the perimeter and let the bigs hold down the paint.
I think Lavine will be good as point guard/ Shooting guard combo guard because he can pass than derozen. Plus he is as dangerous as derozen in scoring so I think its best make him the point wih the license to score

Should've signed Nolan Smith and Luke Babbitt SMFH
God bless you and your family and friends too.
Life is short and life is hard.
No one is perfect but Only God is.
NBA is a business first and then family second.
It is getting more crazier, complicated, and more weirdo.

Bruh chill it’s takes time to build chemistry next year is our year
Kings needed defense this year so of course they went the opposite direction.
You need Vuc and Billy Donovan… than it will be perfect !!
Zach is trash period. For every three he splashes he make like 5 dumb decisions on the court facts ive watched him on the bulls for years.

Lifelong Kings fan. Love Doug but he's too new to navigate this quickly. Brown would've done wonders with this current team 😭
Kings went from a heavy pass team to a heavy iso team
As a Bulls fan I'm so glad Lavine is gone🙏
Not that I think they're gonna be good with this trade, but it's def far far too early. I think they'll be a .500 team ad currently built.
They just built the bulls haha

it's actually funny that they saw DeRozan and Lavine not work in Chicago and thought hmmm let's give that another run

Lavine and derozan did not work in Chicago because of lack of defense, hope they figure it out in Sacramento…
Gonna give it few games for them to connect as a team, 2026 gonna be exciting.

Struggling magic team? They’re the 2nd best defense in the league
Kings need a true PG. I like LaVine, and he will blend in eventually, but he's not a point guard.
Great idea let's trade our only wing
Dennis Schroder would a be good pick up!!!!
This is just last year's bulls with sabonis in the vucivic role
as a bulls fan, im sorry sacramento, its your turn.
SACs unwillingness to do a full rebuild is their biggest issue. Vessel or castle with someone like sochan should have been a non negotiable in the deal and they should of wanted no part of Lavine.
Bro is struggling for content lmao. They only played 2 games with LaVine and 1 with Jonas. Full team plays tonight.
It will be fine, derozen took a while to get in the mix to

Its a whole new team. Its going to take time to gel
Keegan Murray probably the most important player on defense. The only one who can guard PF and good SF
If were all in on win now, i think our best 5 for finishing games are: monk/lavine/derozan/domas/jonas. Have the skill players zone defense the perimeter and let the bigs hold down the paint.
sac should have traded for zach in the summer and kept fox. why did they ever sign derozen? he ain’t a modern player. sac is such a shit organization
get rid of Demar Derozan
Hypothetically… devin carter zach demar Keagon sabonis
I think Lavine will be good as point guard/ Shooting guard combo guard because he can pass than derozen. Plus he is as dangerous as derozen in scoring so I think its best make him the point wih the license to score
West Coast Bulls
They have to go thru Sabonis. Hes the best player WYM!!!!! This dude doesnt know. Trash channel .
