Summary

Now that the NBA Draft is in the books now what Kings fans? Most feel the Kings drafted a solid player in Keegan Murray, but the Kings still have a lot of work to do. Free agency begins Friday and Kings Gm Monte McNair needs to pull a rabbit out of the hat if the Kings are to be a playoff team. Look at the top nine teams in the West last year. Who are the Kings better than? San Antonio was 10th with only 34 wins. Other than maybe the Spurs, I wouldn't put the Kings ahead of any of the top nine in the standings. Hey Monte, good luck!

And I've said this, even with Murray Murray who we don't know how he's going to be

0:45.6

Are the Kings a playoff team right now? I mean who are they better than in the West if you look at the standings last season, Phoenix won 64 games, even if they lose Deandre Aton,

they're not better than Phoenix, they're not ahead of Memphis, they're not going to be better
