    Speaking of the Kings, they signed Glenn Robinson III today. That's a solid depth signing. He actually had a good half-season in Golden State. He can shoot. Won't defend much, but neither did Bogdanovich. He's also two years younger than Bogdan, despite being in the league for half a decade.

    I'm not sure what the Kings can do with him-- unless they want to deal Harrison Barnes. (Yes, please.)

    CWebb's injury in the '03 playoffs, forcing him to miss nearly one entire season, was devastating to the franchise, as he was never the same player after that. Especially when you consider the Summer '03 sign-and-trade that brought Brad Miller to Sacramento, who was a clear upgrade from Pollard.

    Given the big man-centric NBA landscape at the time, a three man rotation of a healthy Webber, Vlade and Miller (an "04 All-Star) would have been difficult for opposing teams to handle, allowing the Kings to continue seriously contending until at least '06 or so, perhaps longer.

    Confining this discussion to the non-Royals era - 1972 to the present - once the franchise began playing exclusively in Kansas City circa '77 in the then-spacious Kemper Arena, despite often putting exciting, competitive teams on the floor, the Kings were, oddly enough, largely ignored in Kansas City.

    And while I concur with others about the late '90's -early aughts Sacramento Kings as a fun to watch team, I really enjoyed the Otis Birdsong, Scott Wedman, Sam Lacey (for my money, the most underrated center ever with a complete all-around game) teams.

    Vlade made some sound moves as GM. But the Barnes, Hield (to a certain extent) and Joseph contracts - as well as Walton as coach - were poor moves. While Hield may accrue some value moving forward relative to his contract, Barnes and Joseph, I'm afraid, must be treated as sunk costs, as they are both basically untradeable at this point.

    Nevertheless, the Kings absolutely killed it during this draft and none of the free agents signed so far this offseason were signed to longterm deals. GR III, IMHO, was the best fre agent signing of the three. The only one of the three signings that was somewhat questionable is Kaminsky. Then again, someone needs to fill minutes if (when) MB III misses time and/or Bjelica is possibly dealt at the deadline.

    Hard to believe, but the NBA ramps back up in just 3 weeks.

    Kemba Walker received a stem cell injection into knee, and will miss the early part of the season.

    Not ideal for your 30-year-old PG with a three year deal at $35 million per. Hope he returns at full Kemba.

    Russell Westbrook traded to Washington for John Wall and a protected 2023 1st round pick.

    Wall and Cousins reunited.

    NBA Post Bubble - Draft & Offseason

    Wall, Cousins, and the Beard.

    85-90% chance it implodes but my goodness if it gels that will be a potent team.

    I don't know. Both Wall and Cousins are wild cards at this point. I'd bet on either being out of the league in a few years before making an All Star squad. Cousins is 30 and hasn't played more than 48 games in a season since 2017. Same idea with Wall. Also 30, he's played 73 games over the past three seasons. Both were great at Kentucky and shined early in the NBA, but the bloom is off the rose. They're just some dudes now (and Wall comes with almost $130 million due over the next three years).

    They should have kept D’Antoni if they were going to trade for Wall.
