If he’s going to start dropping 40, we probably don’t want him gone.

Buddy makes another bad pass with less than 5 seconds left then comes back down and shoots an air ball.

Gentry drafted him. I don’t see the Kings moving him by the deadline. Gentry will be against it. He loves the guy.

No Stretch 4, No Wings. Monte is in love with a 3 guard lineup. “We’re going to play with Pace.” What does that mean? That comment led me to believe this guy doesn’t have a clue.

Virtually ZEro trade value. A team may be willing to give up a second rounder and an expiring. Maybe, a young asset. I don’t see much else. Especially, with that salary.

Did the MonStars take Holmes skills and put shot away? He’s been looking like Marvin Bagley out there. I hope he’s OK.

Eyes are a sensitive thing. He’s probably dealing with it still. Probably will the rest of the season. Unless, they decide to sit him at some point.

We like to pretend that money shouldn’t dictate roster decisions but if you’re paying a guy $20M+ he is gonna be on the court. The only way to fix that is to trade him.

Maybe, but putting his sorry ass on the court lessens his trade value.

Buddy is on a very fair contract for a high-volume, catch-and-shoot guard of his general accuracy. If you expect him to do something that deviates from that role then you might have an issue but he is very tradeable

Kings eked out a lucky vixtory despite Hield’s usual, non impactful game and Fox not able to facilitate. Combine that with Holmes seemingly still bothered by his eye injury.

At least it is now clear as daylight who our olaymaker of the near future will be.
