I think what they were saying is that the Rockets had offered Green and some sort of picks, maybe picks back, before Green went off and was doing really well at the end of the year. At that time the Nets had said no. Now it seems unlikely the Rockets would make the same offer given how well Green did at the end of the year.
The Kings were stuck at around 23rd in defensive rating, before Keon Ellis got a consistent role (after which the team ended middle of the pack defensively). Do you think without Keon, the actual "run it back" team would've ended any better than around 23rd in defensive rating as they were at the all star break? If not, then how much did Mike Brown actually improve the defense?
Well first of all putting Keon into the lineup and giving him a shot at the beginning of the season was something that Mike Brown did that other coaches may not have done. Other than that I still think the Kings would have been better towards the end of the season because of the physicality that the Kings were allowed to play with which is what Mike Brown preaches. Also Keegan’s jump defensively helps.
@@theroyalreport2670 What's puzzling is even after Keon showed he was probably the #1 or #2 best defender on the team pound for pound, especially at perimeter defense (which was most glaringly lacking), Mike Brown still went away from him for 15-20 games leading up to the all star break. Whether or not some other coach would have played Keon early in the season, we know that Mike Brown did and saw how effective he was early on, yet completely failed to capitalize until he was forced to due to guard injuries This, from a defensive minded coach. I don't think many other coaches would have moved further away from arguably their best defender, coaching such a poor defensive team
The Kings had the best offense last year and were pretty average this year. I think it’s understandable to be more concerned about trying to get the offense back to where you know it can be rather than trying to raise the bar on an unproven defense. Kings had a lot of guards and Keon had to earn those minutes as an unproven player. I think there were times Keon could have played more, but at the end of the day he played a lot for a 2nd year undrafted player.
He’s so good by impacting the game without scoring. A big reason that Monk had as good of a year as he did is because he’s playing with Sabonis. Sabonis played well when it counted in the play-in and was the best player on the team this season. And also he still scores over 19 a game which is pretty good to go along with everything else.
why do you think Monk started to look thisgood when he started sharing more time with sabonis on the floor. Talking gamer terms Sabonis is a buffer who makes everyone around him better.

He such high floor but gets no criticism for his team not winning ! Win they lose does anybody talk about him ? Who fears him ? The voting process needs more diversity and is too dominated by white males

I better see the Kings at Free Throw camp for the month of July
I really think Jarrett Allen *could* play really well offensively next to Sabonis but a wing player is more likely/better fit.

That would make sense.

He so good that they count on Malik monk to be their second big scorer

Anthony Davis plays completely differently. He’s not the playmaker that Sabonis is. Scoring isn’t the only thing that matters.
He does nothing when it counts straight empty calories. What about his defense ? Hes such a dominate big men but they rank 23 in defense rating 😒
He such high floor but gets no criticism for his team not winning ! Win they lose does anybody talk about him ? Who fears him ? The voting process needs more diversity and is too dominated by white males
