Predictably, In Just 24 Hours, The Kings' Plans Have Gone Awry
Yesterday the Sacramento Kings made a bad trade. For the privilege of giving away two marginally useful players and thus opening up an additional $13 million in salary cap space, they had to trade to the 76ers last season’s first-round draft pick, a top-ten protected 2018 first-round draft pick, and...

I Think The 76ers Just Fleeced The Kings
The 76ers are approximately $40 million under next season’s salary cap, but they aren’t chasing LeBron James, LaMarcus Aldridge, or any other big name free agents. Instead, they’re making themselves available to teams looking to shed salary, trying to pick up future assets in return. ...

The Kings Are Screwed No Matter What Happens To DeMarcus Cousins

Sim Bhullar Is A Good Giant
The Kings called up 7-foot-5 Sim Bhullar from their D-League affiliate on Thursday and signed him to a 10-day contract, making him the first player of Indian descent in the league. In Bhullar’s time on the Reno Bighorns he’s slimmed down to 360 pounds, and one time he mashed a guy 30 feet into the e...

Closed Captioning Error Blesses Nik Stauskas With Fantastic Nickname
Something wonderful happened during Tuesday night’s game between the 76ers and Kings. Sacramento rookie shooting guard Nik Stauskas hit a pull-up three, and the closed captioning translated the play-by-play call of “Stauskas, hitting the three” into “Sauce Castillo hit the three.” Sauce Castillo!...

Boogie Cousins And John Wall Put On A Show; Some Team Also Won I Guess
A point guard and a center generally can't duel in the way we usually think of players dueling—directly, one-on-one, attacking each other at both ends. Apart from the occasional defensive switch or confrontation at the rim, they'll mostly compete from a distance, and indirectly, via their teams an...

Sitting at 11-13 in the brutal West two months ago, the...

What In The World Was DeMarcus Cousins Thinking On This Inbounds?
Did he think he was on offense? Did he think the Warriors were shooting on the other basket? Did he think the ball was being inbounded from behind him? Did he think he was guarding somebody who hadn't yet walked onto the court? Sometimes players make the wrong decision on defense, or react too slo...

Heroically Lazy DeMarcus Cousins Takes An Entire Possession Off
Honestly, you have to respect the amount of effort DeMarcus Cousins puts into not giving a single shit on this possession. This would make Rasheed Wallace proud....

No, The Kings Did Not Run The 4-On-5 Defense Vivek Ranadivé Wanted
The basketball community has held a collective three-quarters chub ever since Sacramento Kings owner Vivek Randivé had the terrible suggestion that his team play 4-on-5 defense and have a fifth player cherry pick under the basket on offense. ...
