1. Most stacked 38-44 roster of all time

2. Gonna help the King build his castle

3. Kangs said it’s Kanging time and Kanged all over the place

4. yes KANGZ

5. Now he can stat-pad to his heart’s content.

6. Can we finally change this timeline. I can’t keep living like this

7. kings are just trying to get people into the building at this point

8. League is better with Russ

9. Just seen that hilarious Centel post about russ changing his last name to Antetokumpo

10. Go Russ!

11. Kings with the most disastrous 3 year fall off I’ve ever seen. Going from the 2 seed and beam city to Westbrook is fuckinf brutal

12. I don’t think their management has any idea what they’re about to do next

13. My interest is PIQUED. Love a weirdly built mid team

14. In all honesty, I’m happy for Russ.

15. HE DID IT

16. Happy for Russ

17. insane, they’re gonna go from 39 wins a season to 38 wins a season!

18. Russ wants to stay in California. His home. However way possible.

19. The Kings? Signing an aging, big name vet in hopes of trying to stay relevant instead of actually drafting and developing well in order to create a sustainable culture of long-term winning? Who could’ve seen this coming?

20. Excellent work, Kings. You’re loaded now. You don’t need Keon Ellis any more. He’s totally expendable. Just trade him to the Lakers. It doesn’t matter who you get back, Russ makes you so awesome it doesn’t matter. You’re doing great, Sweetie.

21. we are so far from the Beam Team even though it was a couple years ago. I don’t even understand how the Kings got back to this position

22. u/MITWestbrook will live to write another season

23. Seems like he was always gonna end up with the Kings after that report that they were interested in him

24. We winning 45+ or less than 30. No in between.

25. LaVine, Demar, Westbrook is when you sim a few years in 2k

26. Surprised he signed with us after we were roasting him on the Jumbotron when he was on the Lakers haha

27. Fuck it. Let’s get Kuzma and Jordan Poole and call it a day 🤦🏻‍♂️

28. I don’t even care anymore man.

29. Lawl kangz *absolutely robs them in trade simulations*

30. Gavin’s plan to fix the housing crisis brick by brick

31. LETS GOOOOOO WESTBROOK SCHROEDER LAVINE MONK DEROZAN LINEUP INCOMING

32. Holy fuck turn the beam off.

33. Jesus man just a terribly put together roster

34. Wtf is the Kings roster? Schroder/Russ, Lavine, Derozan, Sabonis…barely any spacing or shooting and zero defence. These mfers just gonna be iso-ing all game.

35. This is the dagger for the Kings season

36. happy for Russ, in other news a starting 5 of Schroder, Westbrook, LaVine, DeRozan, and Sabonis sounds like the worst defensive starting 5s in the league.

37. Demar and Westbrick together lol the kings are about to be the most wide open team from the 3 of all time

38. God, why must you give Kings fans your toughest battles

39. So much for Russ winning a ring before he retires

40. Vivek finally got his guy after all these years. Many told him he would never get Westbrook, who’s wrong now?!? 

    Why did I grow up a Kings fan. Those Webber, Peja years were amazing as a kid growing up. Got excited for every rebuild, upset when they traded Boogie away and just didn’t care anymore once they traded away Fox. I loved basketball growing up but damn can we please have a competent owner and management now? This franchise is disorganized and can’t convince me otherwise that leadership off the court is the issue after all these years

41. Light the beam!

42. Great move to improve their 2026 picks

43. Its like Wade and Rondo all over again.

    No spacing, just aura

44. He’ll always be my king

45. I’m honestly just happy we get to see Russ still play in the league, he is not THAT washed

46. This season is gonna fucking suck.
