Louisville’s Mikel Brown measured 6’3.5 barefoot and 190 pounds at the NBA Draft Combine, with a 6’7.5 wingspan and 8’9.5 (*) standing reach.
These two are why “tanking” is a necessity in the NBA
Two former number 1 picks going head to head in the playoffs.
If they change the lottery rules Adam Silver is essentially saying “hey small market teams, just be ok being a play-in team at your peak. Let the big markets win. It’s better for revenue”.
Could LeBron James buy the Kings?
I think the majority of this sub would agree Vivek's ownership has been an abject failure. Given the dire situation of this franchise, landing the # 7 pick after one of the most abysmal seasons on record, is there even the slightest possibility LeBron James could put up an offer upon retirement? Given he has nothing left to prove on the court, I would imagine a legacy of winning ownership would interest him. I believe LeBron has the capital, connections, and business sense to make a legitimate offer if he chose. While I have my share of gripes with him, I'd personally be thrilled if this happened. He could free us from basketball hell and make history, bringing the first championship to Sacramento. Would love to hear thoughts on this!
Hope it was worth it
Scott Perry has no right to sit there looking disappointed. He allowed this to happen with the meaningless wins. I hope DeRozan aura farming against tanking teams was worth it. Absolutely a disaster. This franchise is dead.

mike brown running sacramento-style offensive sets in ny
i made a mike brown fraud watch post after that terrible start to the atlanta series where the wrong defensive personnel cost them two games
well i'm glad to say i was wrong, he's stopped running hero ball and is instead running offense the way he did here, with KAT at the hub in a Sabonis-type role. It's really fun to watch and a reminder of why I miss the beam team
side note: i really think we should be able to extract value out of sabonis, half the centers in the playoffs can't grab a rebound if their life depended on it lol
Hopeless in Sacramento
I just turned 30. Kings haven’t been good since I was 6.
As a mod of this sub and diehard fan, stop buying tickets, merch, stop supporting anything and everything.
We will not succeed until we bleed this franchise into rubble. We must force Adam silver to save us the way he saved the LA market by rigging the draft in favor of Dallas.
Absolute horseshit. The NBA is rigged for ratings.
#7… turn off the tv.

People need to stop sleeping on Mikel Brown. Thoughts and comments?
What do the Kings realistically need to trade to go up from 7 to 5?
Doing so would almost certainly guarantee you either Wilson or Acuff. I know it’s just 2 spots but it is a great draft. Also multiple reports of the Clippers willing to move down. So what do you think the price is here?
