San Antonio’s Julian Cham -via Seattle Post-Intelligencer / December 6, 2024 Remember when Kings owner Vivek Ranadive had a courtside party at the California Classic summer league when DeRozan agreed to join Sacramento? Those good vibes haven’t lasted. The Kings won Tuesday night at home against second-place Houston but have lost seven of their past nine games and are 12th in the West. Two months into the Kings’ season, league decision-makers are calling DeRozan’s fit clunky around All-Stars De’Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis. “He is who he is,” a West executive said of DeRozan. “What he does takes away from what both Fox and Sabonis do because they tend to operate in the same areas on the court.” -via ESPN / December 6, 2024 Sean Cunningham: Malik Monk says honest conversations are coming for his Kings, as they drop a 4th straight tonight.
