If kings make it to the 7th seed I would give monte and doug 3yr contracts
Let's remove all the sugar coating, Monte. Keegan is not as good as we think he is, he is a liability on offense, and not as good a defender as Keon. Monte addressed Kings' real needs? NO. Monte got a fair trade for Fox, NO
Amen he’s a stud
you look like a genius right now with the team you’ve put together
Can we bring in BOLBOL next year?
Can we bring in BOLBOL next year?
deebo 5x all star , #28 all time in scoring , Future hall of famer ….. fox is on yr 8 … 1x all star .. hasn't proven anything
You guys are making the season fantastic
Monte McNair did a GOOD job this trade deadline
no offense Dave, but it seems as if some of your questions were long winded and dancing around the point. Did you not want to offend him or just winging it?
You know
Sactown sports getting the stories we need 👏👏👏
Darute, Colby, Mitchell, true PG Jmac, Robinson, etc were not win now. 🦊 Worked Keegan as 2/3 not a 4
Carter should not be in G-League, I think they underestimate his talents. He makes things happen on the court with his defense. He affects the game, stripping ball, mindful of guarding and helping teammates out who are in a vulnerable position. The guy show he is a spark! And yet he's not giving minutes, I don't get it. Sure, I understand he ain't polish with his offense but his ability to attack is pretty good to me beside Monk. I think by not giving him minutes, you're just going to burn out Monk and may result in injury sooner or later.
Why didn't ask about not getting better picks or a player from Spurs
Why did he get a 50 million/yr player with no defense and is similar to DEEBO in LaVine instead of one of the young Spurs wings?
This guy is a snake 🐍
This interview was terrible.
Monte and his team has completely upgraded this team from where it was when they took over. Very few players on that team from 4yrs ago could break into this roster. Zero players from the bench 4 yrs ago could break into this roster. He's strategically upgraded our roster surgically. Monte and his team are championship level period. This entire organization has been blessed with championship level people in all areas. Kings fans be grateful because we've been blessed with the correct people that make championship runs.
Great interview guys. I mean Monte turned Fox and Huerter into Lavine, JV, Laravia and 2 first rounders. Pretty damn good if you ask me.
Spurs not even making the play in this season. Fox is gone….let it be.
How do yall trust mcsweatervest ta draft well? He is horrible at drafts. He drafts only Guards, no big man.
How do you get better? Don’t draft broken guards on the inj list
Even though Lavine is just a rental before he goes into free agency, the Kings got more for Fox than than Dallas got for Luka. Adding Valancuinas was also huge. Outside of LA, the Kings won the trade deadline.
Dont praise these guys/ monte for cleaning up what that the organization made a mess of… especially when there were ample opportunities to keep certain players and they have been drafting poorly too!
kings are mid because they lack a defensive mindset, no one that says we going to play as hard as we can on defense. no rim protector
Our defense these past 10 games have been completely awful awful awful. You got lots more work to do in the summer monte…. We are 26th in defensive rating the past 10 games
Why didn't we trade Huerter and 2nd rounder for Valanciunas while FOX was still around, he was asking for couple of years to add bigs
We know the reasons Fox left is due to a larger fundamental issue with the franchise and him not feeling supported when Mike Brown got fired and the team decided not hold a press conference about it, allowing Fox to take the blame by the public. What I want to know is if McNair is a puppet controlled by the invisible strings of Vivek's meddling hands. McNair obviously cannot disclose this if so for fear of losing his job. So how do we find out if Vivek is interfering, which I suspect he is, and how do we make it stop??
As far as what we got in return for the Fox trade goes…well done Monte, well done. I'm not mad at it.
Can't " fake " emotion.
Monte did not do good on the trade deadline. Trading fox because of your failure to get wings is not doing a good job. The last 2 big moves of getting chicago players has made our poor defense worse. We are still competing for a play in spot which is nba hell. how does this theam make a move to contend, i dont see it and by the time monte sees that it will be too late to rebuild. Competing for mediocrity is failing to compete as a gm.
Very good interview Carmichael Dave. This is your old friend Daryl.
I would start Jake Laravia because it gives you a more balanced starting roster and hopefully if gives you a bit of an edge to sign Jake Laravia. He is really good off the ball a good spot up three point shooter. As good as Derozan is he better at the end of games and he’d be amazing coming off the bench
