SACRAMENTO KINGS FORUM

I have been reading a lot of posts lately from Kings fans across the Internet and listening to many podcasts on the team. One trend I keep noticingis how many people are seemingly afraid to let themselves get excited about the upcoming season. Why? Isn’t the whole purpose of being a fan to have h

Isaiah Thomas is hungry the kings need to sigh this man ASAP ASAP ASAP

With the 72-game NBA season kicking off on Tuesday and the Kings opening their season against the nuggets on Wednesday, what is your prediction on a final win percentage? Assuming they play all 72 games that is. Barring a major move (Buddy Hield, Luke Walton, etc.) I think this year’s Kings will b

With Bogdan Bogdanovic refusing to accept the sign-and-trade to Milwaukee, one might think it is because he wants to stay in Sac. Or he doesn’t want to move to cold Milwaukee after being in Cali for the past 3 years. But the truth has got to be that he is aware of a much larger offer coming his way

I’m excited to hear there is a realistic possibility of the 2020-21 season starting as early as December 22. Sitting here in late October with no Kings games to talk about is weird. But of course, these are weird times. As for the proposed season timeline by the owners, it doesn’t really surprise

For the first scrimmage, I caught Gary and Doug’s call on League Pass to see how these Bubble games would look on TV. While I have been listening to the G-Man for some 35 years, the game was kind of disappointing. I think it was more due to the distraction of an empty gym, those flashy video board

The Sacramento Kings are working to complete a contract buyout with forward Anthony Tolliver prior to the march 1 deadline. Tolliver was owed $2,564,753 this season, and the team should be able to negotiate terms that will save them a little money for the rest of the year and give Anthony a chance

36 percent of Kings games this season have been decided by 3 points or less. In those contests, Sacramento is 5-4. The team is still above .500 in one-possession games, but at that rate, can we as Kings fans handle 21 more nail biters this season? The margin of error is just too great. Three win

Last night’s win over Portland was encouraging, but let’s be honest, the competition is about to ramp up slightly. The Next five games feature @Lakers, Celtics, Suns, @Nets, and @Wizards. The goal is to try to win at least 3 out of every 5 games. So far, 0-5 and 4-1. They are trending in the rig

There was a lot of talk about the Kings already deciding to move their 2022 pick for someone who could help the team right away, but with them moving up to #4, it might be worth waiting to see how this draft plays out first. Power forwards Paolo Banchero or Jabari Smith Jr might fit quite nicely ne

Hi all, I have a request as I am currently working on a research project regarding in how far fans of the Kings feel attached to the club and how you as a fan think about the sustainability activities of the Kings (Spotlight on Sustainability Nigh; sustainable and locally-grown agricultural practi

It looks clear after just one game that monte McNair envisions the Kings as a pace and space team. The 4-second rule and the fact that 15 of the 16 players who got on the court Friday night jacked up a three-pointer tells you all you need to know. I am sure 50 threes a game will not be the norm, but

I just don’t see new general manager Monte McNair caving on Buddy Hield’s demands to be moved out of Sac. For too long now the Kings have been viewed by the MBA as having a soft front office that can easily be pushed around and taken advantage of by players, agents, or other NBA GMs. McNair just d

I will be honest, I am extremely disappointed that Vlade Divac was forced out of the GM role before he had a chance to see if his vision would work, but not at all surprised. When he took over the job from Pete D’Alessandro in 2015, the franchise was in such disarray that I doubt anyone would have w

I must admit, I am tepid at best about the NBA restart next month. While I miss Kings basketball desperately, is what we are going to get starting July 31 really going to be Kings basketball? Or NBA ball at all? The games will be in empty arenas/gymnasiums. The camera angles will be different. The

The team is struggling right now, but I don’t see any reason to panic and blow it all up. Unlike past seasons, Sacramento has a young core (aka young assets) that they can continue to try to build around. If not, plenty of other teams would love to get their hands on them and pay Sacramento a rath

Kings fans are definitely looking forward to De'Aaron Fox's birthday this year. The guard is targeting his return to the court by his 22nd birthday. December 20.

After the ugly 0-5 start, the Kings have given us two nice wins to provide some hope. I liked that the victories were total contrasts of each other. A gritty nail biter down to the wire against the Jazz, and a runaway blowout vs. the Knicks. This team can win in several ways. They just need to r

With the bulk of the free-agent and off-season trades around the league wrapped up, it looks more and more like Sac is going to start the season with Bagley as the starting 4. Fan dreams of landing Pascal Siakam from Toronto for Marv, Buddy, and a 1st round pick aren’t realistic right now. The bes

With all the recent games being postponed due to the league’s Health & Safety protocols, it is only going to get worse and the team that can avoid being decimated with a short-handed roster is going to win this thing. That is, if this 72-game season really has 72 games. I am wondering if the NBA may

There are currently 20 players believed to be on the Kings 2020 training camp roster. Of course, this could always change, but who would you pick? Who would you cut? 1. Starting 5 2. First 5 off the bench 3. Second 5 off the bench 4. The 2 two-way players 5. The 3 cuts The Choices • F Marvin B

Somewhere in the last few spots in the Western conference rankings will you find the Sacramento Kings, still struggling. If the title feels off to you, it's only because the Sacramento Kings are owned by an Indian, Vivek Ranadivé. It's been quite a while since the Sacramento Kings had anything to c

Nemanja Bjelica nails the big 3 to give the Sacramento Kings a 102-100 lead over the Los Angeles Clippers enroot to their eventual 106-102 victory to close out the Bubble scrimmage season in Orlando. Just another Kings win over the Clips this season. 😎

Sacramento Kings forward Harrison Barnes joins “The Full 48 with Howard Beck” to discuss the resumption of the NBA season and how he’d like to see it happen, the campus/bubble scenario, coronavirus health concerns, the Sacramento Kings season, Marvin Bagley’s injury status, and Kobe Bryant. He also

I recently came across a new YouTube channel featuring Sacramento’s very own Jerry Reynolds. Apparently, he has a new video podcast called the Jerry Reynolds Show. In it he interviews local Sacramento and Kings personalities. Its not bad at all. I have all the episodes to date featured on our Vi

I can’t tell. Are the Kings really a team that has turned the corner over the last 6 games? Or are the Lakers not quite as good as everyone (and their record) says they are? This new-found thing called defense has really come on in a rather surprising fashion for Sacramento of late. I mean Kayte

After quite a while off-the-grid, I’m excited to finally bring back SacKings.com. A lot has happened over the past few seasons and the Kings are looking like they are posed for a fun run over the next few years. Vlade Divac has really put his fingerprints all over this current roster and is deter
