Sacramento Kings 2018-19 Season Watch Thread

[Silky]

The pick will end in the 8-12 range.

No doubt

Right now it would be 14 and it is closer to 18 than 13.

They are going into the hardest part of their schedule.

Teams are tightening up for playoffs too.

Lakers, minny, dallas all pass them

Washington will catch them I firmly believe that.

Detroit and nop are maybes

I would be shocked if NOP does. Detroit would be possible if they did this rumored trade for conley.

30 games left?

I'll take the Lakers to pass them. Nobody else.

SAC finishes at 13.

I predicted SAC will make the playoffs in the CB poll in Dec. Hopefully they miss the playoffs though.

on a brighter note, if it's say #19, maybe they'll get lucky like Atlanta with 2017 and 2018 #19 picks Huerter and Collins - promising talents and immediate contributors. rather than James Young and Yabusele

I’m hoping for Minnesota.

Not fun rooting against them.

I'd love to believe that Minnesota can pull it off. They have the talent to do so, but can't seem to put it together. If SAC goes .500 for the rest of the year, Minnesota has to go 18-12 to pass them. They don't seem to be capable.

What do you think Chances are they leapfrog the Jazz or the Lakers? They have obviously surprised everyone all season, but Jazz have really gotten together, and as you pointed out the Lakers were at once point the 4th seed before Lebron got hurt. Unless you think they have a reasonable chance of passing one of those teams, don't really see how they don't end up in the lottery??

I don't think they make the playoffs, but I can't see that pick being any better than 9 at the absolute best and it will probably be 12 or 13 (excluding lottery luck of course).  The Kings are a very deep and well coached team.  They are also pretty young, so they aren't going to tire all that much.  Bagley missed a month and has really turned it on the last couple of weeks, he is only going to get better.  I've been saying since last summer that the Kings were going to surprise people because I really believed in their young talent and their coach, and they have been better than even I expected.  They do have some tough road trips coming up and they almost certainly aren't going to keep winning at their current pace, but it isn't like the Lakers, Jazz, and Spurs all don't have tough schedules also (I think we can now rule the Clippers out).  The West is tough and I'm not ruling out a young feisty talented well coached team.

The Kings are trading Justin Jackson and Zach Randolph to the Mavericks for Harrison Barnes, league sources tell ESPN.

Yep just came to post this. That sucks!

[Moranis]

Well the additions of Burks and Barnes certainly greatly increases the Kings playoff chances.

Sac only 1.5 games back from the Clippers who just dumped their best player for picks. I think Barnes is going to slot in nicely and help them. Not a good trade deadline for the Celtics' assets so far.

It looks by the way like the league is as scared of Ainge like Europe was for Hitler  .
