I was at this game today, first kings game in many years. I went to many growing up in the 90’s and 2000’s and I don’t ever remember them being so bad that the fans booed them, but they totally deserved it today
I'll be honest, i'm checked out of the Kings this season, but this is great content hearing the OG Kings announcer roasting the Kings for their awful play.
Fox has shown over the years that he aint a leader….if they can get 2 players and 3-4 first round picks ship him out…. Donovan Mitchell even he led the jazz to the playoffs every year with joe ingles and royce o neal
Grant…I totally take what you say as the gospel! You have seen it all and you don't play favorites you speak facts! I agree with every single thing you say!…you have called out the best of them and to their face…that is the type of evaluation this team needs…I totally miss you being on my screen as the kings played! I tried numerous times to poke a hole in your takes and your takes for the most part are bullet proof! Keep preaching my brother! Fox is a IS NOT a leader of this team! Fox is good but folks need to take your input on him…I believe Monk is better all around and vocal. Huerter didn't get the chance to get back right and that is a mistake! I also didn't know Fox was as cocky as I have seen recently. That's my take!
There are some similar moments that I compare to the 49ers drafting Trey Lance. They felt like they knew more than everyone else; despite this poor kid being from a D-3 program that likens to (maybe) Pasadena Junior College level, but then they act shocked when it didn't work out? Time to drop the money on someone that is infectious and famous. Easier said than done, I get it. The 49ers looked pretty good (kinda) when Garapollo took over, but then realized he couldn't win the big game, and then wound up with Brock Purdy-------who is very similar to Alex Smith; but with good receivers and (used to have) a hall-of-fame O-Line..........new owners are needed-------or at minimum a new GM and coach to give the "new shoes smell" to the Sac-Town area......
I can guarantee yall one thing. Fox don't care. He knows. He said it himself on draymond's podcast. Fox knows a Knucklehead nba will pay him MORE MILLIONS to be a trash point guard trash leader trash franchise player. He cares but he just DOESN'T CARE CARE. Because if he CARE CARE, he would've help "develop" keegan in a competent 3rd year player LAST SEASON. Keegan is POOP now. Keegan needs a better MENTOR. I keep saying try to salvage whatever keegan is left. Reminds me of Kevin Martin and Peja. Kevin had Bonzi Wells, Ron Artest and Mike Bibby. Peja had Vlade and Webber. Mentors are so important to YOUNG PLAYERS.
Demar move was bad. If he’s not coming off the bench bench, the kings are are doomed. He can’t defend, he was getting cooked by every laker starter. Use him better as a scorer off the bench when Fox rests. Domas, Fox, Demar can’t defend. Teams should’ve been Fox and domas + 3nd wings and monk as sixth man off the bench and a solid back up center. Scoring wasn’t the issue with this team.
The pacers seemed like such a better team. Maybe it's because the core players are getting older. The younger players are in development. Too many developments going on. Too slow, not physical enough. Derozan is maybe struggling to find his niche but he is a great player, fox is a great player, sabonas is great, munk is great. Huerter is good off the bench. Murray is good but maybe too soft. Maybe the league caught up and the kings look like queens. Either way let's play out the season and see what happens. There are many teams in the league that don't look that great. I'm thinking a new coach is needed. Someone from the euro league that will get in the teams face and tell them f###k and get the team desperate for a win. Fox needs to win. The kings don't want to just loose him. Who in the league is trade worthy?
Look when your star player doesn't want to be a King anymore then that's all you need to know. Fox wil get what he wants, because players get what they want. This league is run by the players not the owner, coaches or the fans. LeBron wanted out of Cleveland, Harden wanted out of Houston and Brooklyn and Durant wanted out of Brooklyn. All those players got exactly what they wanted. Fox will get what he wants and that's a trade out of Sacramento.
Merry Xmas Ryan & Grant, im glad i found this podcast. Used to listen to afternoons on 1140

Absolutely pathetic loss today. And why isn't Keon playing more?
I'll be honest, i'm checked out of the Kings this season, but this is great content hearing the OG Kings announcer roasting the Kings for their awful play.
So sorry guys, I'm a Wolves fan. We're both going through it right now.
I love how honest you are grant and agree with everything you say 💜
Gotta trade Demar, take whatever you can get for him. This is Fox’s team, and Demar just does not fill any of this team’s holes
Starting line up should be
Fox
Monk
Keegan
Jones
Sabonis
Second string
Ellis
Demar
Huerter
Lyles
Lin
Merry Christmas
Changes need to be made. Look at all options.
I think Demar comes off the bench. Put Keegan back to 3 and Isaac Jones at 4.
What the heck happened to Keegan? I think Brown is done and probably McNair as well.
Fox has shown over the years that he aint a leader….if they can get 2 players and 3-4 first round picks ship him out…. Donovan Mitchell even he led the jazz to the playoffs every year with joe ingles and royce o neal

80 millions on the bench thats crazy but I feel u tho
Not sure if there’s accountability at this point
Fox-Monk-Murray-Jones-Sabonis______Ellis/Jmac-DeRozan-Huerter-Lyles-Len/Robinson
Many questioned Demars fit, and now it is fairly clear he does not fit. Might be hindering Keegan development.
Demar not coming off the bench. You might can make him the first sub though.

Demar is the reason bottom line he ruin their chemistry
No Alex the players aren’t making their shots. That’s not coaching that players inability to make shots.
Demar move was bad. If he’s not coming off the bench bench, the kings are are doomed.
He can’t defend, he was getting cooked by every laker starter. Use him better as a scorer off the bench when Fox rests. Domas, Fox, Demar can’t defend. Teams should’ve been Fox and domas + 3nd wings and monk as sixth man off the bench and a solid back up center. Scoring wasn’t the issue with this team.
There is no coach that will come in and make this team better. The team is just SOFT?
Bring back vlade divac. Let him finish what he started. Pacify the owner of the Sacramento Kings and bring Mark Jackson in as the coach.
The pacers seemed like such a better team. Maybe it's because the core players are getting older. The younger players are in development. Too many developments going on. Too slow, not physical enough. Derozan is maybe struggling to find his niche but he is a great player, fox is a great player, sabonas is great, munk is great. Huerter is good off the bench.

Who in the league is trade worthy?
Another fact that Demar disrespects the national anthem by sitting while it’s being sang. This pisses me off
Look when your star player doesn't want to be a King anymore then that's all you need to know. Fox wil get what he wants, because players get what they want. This league is run by the players not the owner, coaches or the fans. LeBron wanted out of Cleveland, Harden wanted out of Houston and Brooklyn and Durant wanted out of Brooklyn. All those players got exactly what they wanted. Fox will get what he wants and that's a trade out of Sacramento.
Wide open misses and bad decisions throughout the game. How much is the coach responsible for that? He's got no one on the bench to go to.
Not afraid to say this but demar is not a good fit for this team
