The Sacramento Kings have unfortunately been the laughingstock of the league for quite some time now. They have been one of the most down-trodden teams in the last decade of so. A combination of bad luck, mismanagement, and other bad decisions have turned this once-great franchise into the butt of many jokes in the league. […]

When NBA training camp opens on September 27, the Kings will face some fascinating position battles and roster selections. General manager Monte McNair has amassed more quality and depth than Sacramento has seen in years. This is maybe the deepest they have been since the Kings’ previous playoff appearance in 2006. Some expect the Kings […]

The Sacramento Kings have long ran the treadmill of mediocrity in the NBA. The Kings have failed to make the playoffs for 16 straight seasons, and are one of the most memed franchises in all of sports. From the Maloof controversy, to the shortsighted trades, to the owner suggesting a cherry-picking strategy, to the selection […]

The Sacramento Kings have seen a lot of turnover on their roster over the past few months. They made one of the bigger deals at the 2021 NBA trade deadline when they traded for Domantas Sabonis from the Indiana Pacers, giving up young star Tyrese Haliburton in the process. It didn’t lead the Kings to […]

One of the most surprising moves of the last NBA season was the Kings’ decision to trade Tyrese Haliburton just before the deadline. The franchise’s sixteen-year playoff drought has clearly caused management to grow impatient. Sacramento has not made it to the postseason since 2006 and has not won a playoff series since 2004. It […]

Sacramento Kings rookie Keegan Murray underwent surgery three weeks ago and fortunately, it looks like fans have nothing to worry about his condition. Naturally, Murray’s wrist injury caused some concerns among the Kings faithful. While the procedure is only considered a minor operation done to “clean out some loose bodies” in his wrist, fans just […]

Tyrese Haliburton was hurt after the Sacramento Kings traded him to the Indiana Pacers before the trade deadline last season, so much so that he hated the organization for it. The Kings pulled the trigger on the Haliburton deal to land a superstar talent in Domantas Sabonis. With a plethora of guards at their disposal, […]

De’Aaron Fox has gotten a lot of flak from his critics. Like most of his peers, the Sacramento Kings guard spends his free time playing video games and such to relax. Many fans, though, don’t like this, calling him “lazy” and that he doesn’t care about basketball. Clearly, though, that isn’t the case. De’Aaron Fox […]

When thinking of viable stocks in the hobby, one wouldn’t think of De’Aaron Fox rookie cards. Unlike those of Ja Morant or Luka Doncic cards, the Sacramento Kings’ franchise player doesn’t hold much of a promise in the market, even though he’s a very talented player. But while that has been the case for the […]

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James couldn’t be any happier for his former teammate Quinn Cook. For those who missed it, Cook recently signed a one-year deal with the Kings after spending the past 2021-22 season in their G League affiliate. He is reuniting with former Golden State Warriors assistant Mike Brown, who has officially […]

After being completely out of the league during the 2021-22 season, Quinn Cook is now back in the NBA after recently agreeing to a deal with the Sacramento Kings. This caught the attention of Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green, who had nothing but love for his ex-teammate. Green took to Instagram to share a […]

Spears of ESPN and Andscape, the Kings and Cook have agreed to a one-year contract as well. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Cook […]

The Western Conference is going to be highly competitive as almost every team will be making a playoff push. They are […]

The Sacramento Kings have had enough of the jokes and the losing. It’s been 16 long years for Kings fans since they made the NBA playoffs.

The Sacramento Kings are wrapping up their offseason by adding some more depth behind their key players.

The Utah Jazz flipped the switch into rebuilding mode after seemingly hitting their ceiling with the duo of Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert. The franchise signaled this by trading Gobert to the Timberwolves for a haul of draft picks. The feeling around the league seems to be that Donovan Mitchell will be next and each […]

We’re in the middle of the offseason, but the NBA rumor mill is still running hot with big trade situations going on around the league. The Utah Jazz are in the middle of making major changes to their roster, with Donovan Mitchell seemingly out the door right after Rudy Gobert. The New York Knicks have […]

The lawsuit comes from Sydney Haydel, who was named as the director of operations for the Sacramento’s NBA G League […]

The last time the Sacramento Kings made the playoffs was in 2006. No current player has ever faced them in the postseason and the team is trying to end its playoff drought after 16 seasons. In 2021-22, the Kings went 30-52, leaving them four wins away from the play-in tournament. During the offseason, the franchise […]

The last 15 years has not treated the Sacramento Kings and their fans very well. The Kings have not reached the NBA playoffs since the 2005-2006 season, the longest drought in league history. To make things a bit more painful, ESPN pointed out that there is not a current player in the NBA that has […]

The Sacramento Kings took Keegan Murray fourth overall in the 2022 NBA Draft and many fans believed they should’ve selected Jaden Ivey instead, who ultimately went to the Detroit Pistons.

The Sacramento Kings have made some moves to their roster to make a playoff push.

Paolo Banchero got the better of his matchup against fellow top prospect Keegan Murray in an Orlando Magic vs. Sacramento Kings clash for the ages.

According to Dave McMenamin of ESPN, Dellavedova is working out with the Kings in Las Vegas in a bid to play again in the NBA. He is just 31 years old and certainly […]

Keegan Murray just keeps showing why the Sacramento Kings took him no. 4 overall in the 2022 NBA Draft. He doesn’t back down, even against the Orlando Magic and their no.1 overall pick Paolo Banchero. On Saturday in their Summer League showdown with the Magic, Murray powered the Kings’ insane comeback after trailing by as […]

The Sacramento Kings surprised a lot of fans by picking Keegan Murray at No. 4. He’s probably good for it, though. The Kings have been pushed around the perimeter for years because they were too tiny and lacked depth. Murray changes that in a significant way. The 6’8, 215-pound forward should shore up the Kings’ […]

Like any other NBA prospect, people had their doubts about Tyrese Haliburton.
