Found it! It’s on the other NBC Sports CA channel. The one that says Sign off followed by the Sharks game.

Nope, not for me. I guess I am stuck with the deeply shitty stream from the NBC sports app

It’s supposed to be on NBCS but it’s not. Instead it’s some Bay Area talk show

You can try the other NBCSN, but that didn’t work for me. I ended up using the NBC sports app, which blows

Keegan needs to get an easy shot at the rim to get going.

The offense could legitimately be first overall this season. The defense needs to at least be average for it matter.

And we saw late last year that they had the potential for it(because they did it for the last few months).

Sabonis is worth every penny, Fox is not.

Fox is a nice player but he’s nowhere close to a max player.

if he continues to shoot 40%+ of his shots from 3 at an average or below average rate then he’s the 4th best player on the team.

He’s not a negative but he has peaked and on slight downward arc of his career

This is a bit harsh. Fox has been playing great defense, rebounding, and creating a bunch of easy baskets for others even if his shots aren’t falling.

But I also wonder how eager McNair is to hand Fox a max contract. Could Fox even be suddenly flipped before the start of next season? Beyond next offseason you expect him to either have signed a max contract, left in free agency, or been traded. Which option creates potential for upward growth with Domas, Keegan, Monk, DeMar, Huerter (and eventually DC) still in tow? It’s certainly not free agency – but is it a max deal?

I can’t see Carter as any core piece of this team, until Carter plays games for this team.
Could well be a Davion pt2

I usually am 100% aligned with you JWalker, and I largely am here as well.

Without one big move, this is a nice team, a good team, but not a championship-caliber team.

That’s going to require a whopper, meaning one of Fox/Sabonis/DeRozan/Murray has to go.

Of those, I think Fox is the clear choice.

Domas is an All-Star, as is DeRozen. Sabonis also stays on the basis of being a big on a very small team, and DeRozen’s shelf life is shorter due to his age, so you aren’t going to get max value in a trade.

And I’m of the opinion that Murray is going to become the type of “everything” player whose value is tough to guage externally, but you know how valuable he is internally.

That leaves Fox, who is a very nice player, and *almost* an All-Star, but not quite. In no way is he worth a max contract. Next year will be his age 28 season – prime of his career. It’s likely that his value will never be higher than it will be next summer.

You’ve got to package him up…maybe along with a draft pick…and bring back a long, rangy, athletic big, and maybe a serviceable pass-first point guard.

That turns this team from a 45-50 win team that goes out in the 1st or 2nd round, to a 55-ish win team that can go on a burner and potentially get to the finals.

Just my humble opinion, of course…

Fox is not a superstar that a team will wager it’s future on. The Kings know this and hopefully act acccordingly.

Domas could be an MVP candidate this season. The Kings need to win but he’s a better player than he was last year. Shooting open 3s and middies with confidence, attacking off the dribble on closeouts, showing a deeper bag of dribble moves along with his usually elite footwork. Fox, DeMar, Monk, and Huerter are all incredibly adept at finding him. He could really average something like 24-12-8 this season and the Kings could win 55+.

Keegan added muscle to his frame but still looks so timid under the basket. Needs to go up strong through contact/look to draw the foul.

Agreed. He’s still a bit undersized IMO to play the 4 but would be good to see him try to play a little physical now and again
