Bobby Marks' Sacramento Kings Offseason Guide ➡️ Took a step back but not DOOM & GLOOM | NBA on ESPN 

Kings didn't regress, they stayed flat (only 2 less wins) while the other teams got better

Thank you for the kings content ! We love you out here in sac Bobby !

If u consider how much harder the league is and that we kept basically the same win total and how they blew however many leads I say we technically got better lmao

Bobby is right. West is extremely difficult to rebuild in and new cba will make it impossible to have sustained success. Kings have a good core with fox and sabonis. Develop Murray into consistent third option, keep monk on a 4 year deal, get Cody williams in the draft, give Mike his extension, and call it an off season. Swing for the fences like Milwaukee did and see what happens

Changing the mentality will be important too. Last year, the vibes were great and everyone was positive. They exceeded expectations. This year, they weren't able to maintain the positive energy level throughout the season, and even though their record was similar, they failed to reach expectations. They need one or two new, impactful players (maybe one new starter and one off the bench) to help regain that excitement, optimism, and sense of fun. A solid power forward who can defend, pass, and rebound would help a lot. Murray can play at the 3. If they lose Monk in free agency, they will need to bring in a serious scoring option for the bench. Perhaps Vezenkov could help with that next year, if he can adjust to the NBA style of play.

I’ve been waiting for this one Bobby!

Love these videos and good to see Sacramento Kings content!

I think Keon Ellis deserved a mention.. we found our defensive minded guard already

Love how Bobby Marks starts all of these as if we are in our first Monday morning meeting

The kings incredible over-reliance on throwing up 3s, especially in the 4th caused them to blow historic amount of double-digit leads. Worst thing was on the road, just jacking 3s to start games in environments where percentages drop, put them on the back foot so often.

Do a video on Charlotte?plz marky?

Not having enough depth was the reason they fell into the play-in and ended up not making the playoffs. Losing in 7 at home makes this flat szn feel worse. But the kings need to be high alert, grizzlies and the rockets are making the playoffs. GSW and one other top 10 team in the west will fall. Could be the kings if they don’t increase their bench depth

I say make a big swing call for Bridges or maybe Booker since Suns might think of just blowing it up Call up maybe the Heat and see what their plans are and maybe see if kings can offer something for Bam. Reuniting Bam, Fox and Monk would be huge along side Keegan and Sabonis. Vivek should pay up the luxury tax.

Proud Kings fan. I felt they did pretty good overall. Loosing Malik and Kevin pretty much killed playoff hopes. This team was not deep and those injuries burried them

1:06 *How the Kings made their exit*

You didn’t mention the mid-level or bi- annual exception? What are the chances Jalen smith opts out and getting him with either exception? So basically they are in position to run it back potentially without monk. But with the 13th pick and relying on internal improvement with Murray. Doesn’t sound too promising but I’ll still be praying. I think Fox still has one more gear he can reach. He needs to up his aggressiveness and mentality. Not giving Mike Brown an extension this year was the right move. He might not be the right coach to get the most out of Fox and Sabonis. He doesn’t seem like a great motivational coach. Can’t stand his stubbornness and lack of making adjustments. He let the pelicans beat them 6x without coming in with a different game plan. Kessler edwards and Javale McGee might of helped negate some of new Orlean’s length. Not to mention him refusing to even try starting monk. The offense sputtered at times this season and that’s where bringing a guy like Terrance Davis back could have helped. Instead they signed Javale McGee to not even play. If Monk doesn’t resign we are in trouble. Giving up the pick to ATL might have been better. It would have freed up future 1st rd picks to make an all-in trade if an impact player became available. Now because of all the protections on the ATL pick their hands are tied even in trades.

Improve the bench. Fox took another leap this season. Defense was much better. Need leadership to hold leads more.

Improve the bench along with getting a 3 & D guy

They need to beef up their defense. Their offense is already ace. Now they need to focus on stopping other teams.

We need to upgrade from Harrison Barnes ! We need another shooter and some more big physical defenders or wing defenders !

San antone when???

Upgrade over Barnes and huerter and add more defense .

They need someone like tyrese haliburton , that’s the missing piece to the puzzle

But Monte said to run it back 🤓

They did nothing last off Season they at least need to do something

Kings

I want a player like Jonathan Isaac or Patrick Williams that is unproven and fits our time line to be traded to us

So having heard Orlando is considering a wider field beyond Malik Monk, even interested in Paul George or Klay Thompson, your thought process is challenged. Because they would expect more than $20-$25 Million per yr that Malik Monk would be. None of us know what Orlando is thinking. Who they might be moving off their books. And the cap is going up 10% a year for the next couple of years I understand, then gradually diminishing below the 10% increase, but still increasing. I am certainly no expert, but everybody has opinions, and yet we don’t have the power.

Pause at 1:50

4 for 78 sounds low for Monk, but maybe I'm not watching enough

The loss to the Pelicans was a ridicoulous choke

The fact they lost two important players at the end of the of the season is a huge reason they fell off. BARNES HAS TO GO TOO. The huge problem Kings have against lengthy athletic wing teams is because of Barnes is undersized and old. Kings have no SF. Kings has to upgrade the wing, it should be priority after resigning Monk. Monk then Wings.

Sneaky BI team?

The Kings are a good team but they aren’t great I say they did took a bit of a step back but at the same time it shows how much deep the west has gotten this past year. The Kings they need a three and D wing they tried to get Pascal who can play the three but he didn’t want to play for them. Sabonis is costing them a huge chunk of their salary. So they are limited in getting somebody. If the Clippers loose Paul George who be a good fit for them or OG, maybe they could trade for Kuzma he a decent defender at least he would be a upgrade over Barnes So yeah getting a wing should be what the Kings should do

Where would the Kings have finished if they didn't lose to bad teams like Detroit and if they didn't blow big leads to better teams like the Suns and Bucks? Along with whatever player changes are made, they need to learn to finish games stronger and develop a killer instinct. Never take their feet off the pedal.

Kings have a nice team ! They need time Malik Monk is great in his 6 man role! Murray has to step up and become a legit second best player ! Harrison Barnes is a solid vet but they need more talent in front court and another big guard to play w Foxx

Kings missing the playoffs is wild lol

It starts with having huerter/Barnes as your starters. Better make calls for Isaac…

They need trade Barnes davion Mitchell or Kevin hurter picks for Ingram

Competitive but low ceiling?

Kings had a lot of injuries

There really is no way this kings team gets to the 2nd round. Fox is never gonna be a top 5 pg sabonis is a flawed player and Keegan is a role player.

The queens will always be the queens 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Still don't know how they lost to Pelicans.

Trade for De Rosan for shooting guard & get a big, tall guy as back up for Sabonis! Keep Barnes for reserve unit! Trade Davion Mitchell & Kevin Huerter reinforce the second unit! 7:40

I say keep the same squad. Monk and huerter should be back. Keegan Murray is getting better and better. Continue to bring in more young guys

Kings won't win any championships until they have new ownership.

I think monk gets more than 4/78. Cam Johnson got 4/110 just remember that.

Kings need a number one option. The players they have reached their ceiling

How do you say kings took a step back???? I get annoyed when kings fans say that. They had injuries this season and that was the issue! We only had two more losses from last season with injury’s. That’s not bad! Teams have improved since last season .I agree they had some inconsistencies and Kevin’s numbers were down compared to last. The injury to Kevin and then to monk, it was over. I said at the last game we played to the Celtics on the 5th. We would only have two wins vs nets and Portland. We would lose in the play-in and we did! If we were fully healthy, then you can say we took a step back! Come on! Murray improved from last season and it’s only his second season. Give him time!

Traded "light the beam" energy and the top offense in NBA history for a fantasy D "physicality" with no rim defender. BROWN????? He killed the best offense in HISTORY.

Doom and gloom? Th is dat😂😂

Trade for De Rosan for shooting guard & get a big, tall guy as back up for Sabonis! Keep Barnes for reserve unit! Trade Davion Mitchell & Kevin Huerter reinforce the second unit!

Kings should draft bronny at 13

Sabonis to Memphis for smart Clarke laravia zhaire Williams and picks fox to Nola for cj Dyson Daniels Hawkins and picks tank next year keep your picks and get good after 2026
