Go Kings!
Doesn’t seem like we’re trading Barnes, Buddy, or Holmes with this lineup.
Also, League Pass out here dragging us…
Well then we probably know who is definitely on the block then
Jabari
Robert
Ramsey
Kyle
Dequan
Metu
These dudes probably getting no PT tonight
Joseph not warming up…..
I’d love to see a game without Cojo.
Coming soon to an arena near you!
this aged well
If the Kings fail to make any significant moves, you can book a 35 win season in 2021/22.
Two crap calls so far.
If we had any kind of bench, we might be a decent team
I
Not seeing much basketball, just a 3 point shooting contest so far.
These broadcasts are turning into the Kayte show lately.
Wait until Saturday night
Cojo time!
I tune in and instantly Whitehead travels
Nice block tho
Refs aren’t on our side tonight.
There is not a player in the league I like to watch less than Trae Young. The man foul hunts while playing actual basketball as a side gig. Would hate to be a hawks fan and watch all the time.
Id rather watch Whiteside run some point…
SlowJo and Whitehead: the bumbling duo
No kidding.
Jeeze Cojo. Come on dude.
Daily reminder Joseph is utter trash
M3TU!
Join the movement folks!
I hate when CoJo goes iso. Just completely puts his head down and charges forward. No awareness of wide open teammates. And completely takes our offense out of its flow. How about running a set veteran presence?
If Tyrese doesn’t win ROTY then screw Luke. Again.
That means you have not adjusted to give your most promising rookie in years more responsibility as this gap season slogs on. He should have Lamelo numbers by the end of the year.
Trade or not hope this the last game we see Cojo, Bjelly, and Whiteside. Trade them or cut them for the buyout market.
I am ok with keeping Whiteside simply because sometimes you just need a big body. Cojo and Bjelly are awful now though and they are taking minutes that should go to the younglings
Yeah, definitely need to get rid of the old wood.
Keeping the big body is good, if we’re trying to win. Tho Whiteside contributing to that is arguable.
But Metu and Kabengele need minutes. More important.
More Whiteside hate as he had another solid ass game… Lol
I like Metu alot…we should keep him around. Especially if he can hit that 3. But I love his energy. We need another Scott pollard around here.
Fox with 20 already
He eats Trae every time
As does everyone
Lol Snell on the foul “wHEre??”
Bjelicia going to be gone by tomorrow
…
Capella is getting away with a lot.
That Fox-Holmes-Hali-Metu-Barnes lineup looked good. Shame 2 of them might be gone by tomorrow.
Whiteside has such bad body language.
I swear Fox’s hang time is incredible
Fox is starting to become a monster. It’s getting to the point where it looks effortless for him. He just needs more free throw consistency and to keep his foot on the gas all 4 quarters. Too often he drops 18-20 in the first half and ends the game with 26-30 points.
Excellent
Whitehead is literally doing nothing on both ends.
Fox is white-hot with plenty of time and he instead throws to a double-teamed Buddy
How about Orlando beating Phoenix tonight, Cleveland beat Chicago and Toronto beat Denver.
Anyone else super not impressed with Collins?
Not for the kind of money he wants. Dude turned down a 90 million dollar extension.
Frankly that was smart given the kind of money that will be flying around this summer.
Me. No way I’d give up Holmes or Barnes for him. He’ll be a bad contract the day he signs next year.
More and more Fox is just revealing how legit he is… a pure pleasure to watch
Cojo alert!
Buddy ball
Holmes is doing a piss poor job against Capela on the glass tonight
st least 4-5 second chance buckets
That happens a lot
Need a little more Metu
Wtf was that Buddy? Buddy’s a train wreck going downhill.
Buddy Ball.
He can be a real beauty when he wants to be
This is why he should be a sixth man. I would rather he just shoot the 3 on a fast break lol.
was waiting to see how he’d botch that 2 on 1 fastbreak
This is feeling like Fox could go for 55. Absolutely nobody can defend him right now
I hope he gets a career high. He needs to average about 30 a game for this team to even have a shot at a .500 season.
I don’t know if De’Aaron has ever been this hot in a game. He tends to cool off, then take bad shots, and get out of rhythm. If that doesn’t happen tonight he could go for 50 easily.
JJ time
So no Metu?
Whiteside is hot tonight.
If the Kings win tonight, Vivek will tell Monte you ain’t trading anybody.
Lol, we’ll be a perennial .400 team.
Nemanja conspicuously with no minutes tonight… Or maybe that’s just Walton’s rotation at work
Metu with 3 fouls in about 40 seconds. Yikes
Bullshit foul on Metu
Trae Young is a flopper. And overrated btw.
Cheap call there
Buddy make the biggest bone headed plays
Buddy just run to a spot to shoot please
Nemanja not playing tonight must mean he is being traded. He had one of the best finishes to a game three seasons ago in Houston against the Rockets on a 3 point basket with less than a second on the clock. A great game with a fabulous finish.
What a great shot that was…never forget it. Sad to see him go.
Richaun’s push shot is golden
this has been a fun game
Almost 3chaun Holmes
Young gets the dumbest calls.
Guess our closing lineup is in now. Hope our guys aren’t too gassed.
TYTHRESE
A timeout, 8 second play, timeout
I like how Luke and McMillan called random timeouts and the players were like wtf???
Brain says lose, heart says win.
I’m good with a win coming off the backs of Fox/Haliburton
Don’t like this strategy, errr
Thank you Holmes, slam
I’m sooooooooooooo done with buddh
that was a bad pass by Tyrese though
A bad pass would be him throwing it over buddy’s head out of bounds. At worst he didn’t lead properly to the rim
goddamn Trae
Why on Earth or Mars would you consider trading Richaun unless you get a huge desparation haul in return.
Agree with RORDOG this was a fun game
Trade Buddy please
Wth, Buddy?
Buddy might have just thrown the game
Buddy air Buckets!
Man, that shot by Buddy was so ugly
Top end 3 point shooters are normally automatic in the mid range. Not Buddy.

King’s survive
I love Fox so much
Fun one…. and not just because we won…. great to see Bogi and playing well off the bench.
Would be nice having Bogi instead of Buddy
Nope.
They did trade jerseys postgame
Thank you Fox, Haliburton, and Holmes. The only positive contributions in the 4th.
Hell yes! Especially since I had the under at 232. OT would’ve blown it up! Buddy is a liability late in the 4th when we have a lead.
I wouldn’t mind Buddy going to the bench or at least getting less run. Just me though.
Ah yeah, I some folks here agree with you.
Funny how Bagley is out and the team looks better. 4-1 with the current starting lineup. Bagley’s offensive production is empty calories and it looks like we aren’t getting completely obliterated on defense lately.
Buddy’s stat line tonight was terrible.
FUCK YES!!!! I fucking love Delon
Don’t know how to embed a tweet so go to Woj’s twitter!
No Belly tonight. Hmmm…guessing he’s wearing another jersey tomorrow night.

The Detroit Pistons are trading guard Delon Wright to the Sacramento Kings for guard Cory Joseph and two second-round picks, sources tell ESPN.
https://mobile.twitter.com/wojespn/status/1374940745333927938
Omgg finally
That’s a pretty significant upgrade for backup guard play.
I think I’m going to cry. Our prayers have been answered. No more CoJo cringing for us finally.
Why does Detroit make this deal? Is Wright possibly an issue for them, or are they really short on picks?
he makes $8 mil next year and they probably save 5 plus million next year.
Joseph only had a 2.4M buyout though.
Vlade has snuck into that front office. They are hoarding 2nd rounders now
Cap space next season.
I can’t imagine picking any other PG over Fox right now if all the PGs in the league were in a draft. Factoring in age
Corey Joseph was just traded
Delon Wright!
CoJo to DET for Delon Wright and two seconds.
Delon Wright comin’
Delon is a decent young player.
I think he’s only a year younger than CoJo
Young he’s not. 29 in a few weeks. The trade makes me think the team is not doing anything tomorrow. Thinking Delon will provide some bench depth. He can’t shoot the 3. A chucker according to the Pistons Blog. averages a couple more pts a game and is not known as a very good defender. Should fit right in.
This reeks of a VIvek influenced trade. Meaning, it makes Zero sense.
Quick, someone do a Delon Wright-up
Curious would You guys trade Fox for Trae young straight up? I wouldn’t.
No way
No freaking way..
lol
Hell no. Fox is in that space where you don’t trade him straight up. He is young and improving year after year. Trae is a highlight reel player only to me. He will look good on youtube but he is actually chucking a lot of bricks and flopping in game.
LOL. No. My cousin thought we should trade Fox and draft Trae Young. Even then I said no.
Dude, I had to downvote that question.
I mean, this is a legit question despite the fact that we all love fox way more. Trae has basically zero defensive presence, but he is a super skilled and dangerous offensive player. I’m on team fox all day and my sentiment is that if Fox can even shoot around 37% from 3, he will be far and away the better player
i love how you can type “woj” into google and get instant sequenced basketball news from different platforms
The deal is meh. Doesn’t move the needle a whole lot. Delon, on paper, is an upgrade for a backup 1-2. The Kings now have another player on the books next year and can’t buy out Wright like they could Joseph. Age wise it is a wash. Kings picks are a 21 second (via Lakers) and the 24 pick. Hopefully both are late second rounders. Meh. We didn’t give up much and got a slight upgrade in backup guard play for the next year plus. Hopefully more to come.
Buy out Joseph? This is a pretty pretty good deal and you say meh a lot…. ironic.
Wright costs 6 million more next season and unless there is another deal to cut salary this eliminate signing Holmes ! Scary !,,,
