Not for Barnes, Mitchell or a top 4 pick. For the 7th or 8th all day.
In my opinion, Mitchell should be our starting SG. I know that leaves us without a backup PG, but that should be one of next years goals. Besides a Forward, we need a backup point guard.
The Kings only need 2 things. A stretch 4 and a backup point guard. Mitchell is your starting 2.
Gentry will destroy any defensive skills that Sabonls has.
Holmes is not hurt; he's pissed; there goes his career.
BS Fox must go. Anyone keeping the ball out of Halliburton's hand has to go. Unless he starts shooting 39% or better from 3.
this team is broken because of the combo of Haliburton and Fox but they are not playing for Gentry at all.
Why is it that the Kings worse blow outs happen under Gentry? It's not fair that Christy didn't get a chance with a healthier squad. The fouls were atrocious. But that had nothing to do with the second half. Fox did not look good, once again just forcing his way to the basket then complaining about no calls. That was his first 10 games of the season. Haliburton and Fox will never work unless Fox starts shooting at least 39% from 3, and stop doing whatever is causing the bags under his eyes. Unfortunately the team only wins when Barnes attacks the basket at key moments of the game which is not a good thing unless Barnes is your top 2 best players. The FO and coaching staff have not committed to Haliburton being the best player and leader of this team. Also need more Holmes. I have more faith in the team playing defense when Christy is coaching then Gentry. There is a reason that Gentry is a consultant for the Kangz. #promoteHally #feedHolmes #giveDougAshot #MoreMetuPls
Coach did not say that everybody is gonna shoot threes he says everybody practice shooting threes a 100 or something like that
Fox needs to be traded for a sf. hand the reigns to TH.
This is why no pick and rolls for MB Bagley is not a good passer, and not a good screener. if he rolls, he's easy to defend cause you know he's not going to make that secondary pass. Once he able to make that pass when he's defended at the basket instead of forcing it, he'll get used more.
