Good for the Kings. They’re 4-3 (about to be 5-3 after beating Orlando tomorrow…. haha). Hate bagging on my own team.
A big reason why is the play of Nemanja Bjelica. He imfamously spurned Philadelphia for Sacramento this offseason, and man….. his outside shooting at the PF position would have replaced Ersan’s production very nicely for the 6er’s.
I’m impressed. The Kings are a nice surprise story thus far, and maybe Nemanja will be a long term piece for this young team. Props to Vlade for plucking this guy

Fox & WCS & Buddy Heild & Nemanja are looking Sweet!
Phila had this dude in the summer but they didn’t wanna pay him a multi year deal b/c they wanna shoot for a Big time Max Free Agent in summer 2019 which I totally understand but man could they use him right now
Happy for Kings fans & I gotta say this Vlade Divac got completely embarrassed a few years ago & got destroyed for it in the Media b/c of some of the bad trades that Truthfully the Owner Forced him to make
To Vlade’s credit he really learned from his mistakes. Everyone Crushed Vlade for trading Boogie but that trade got them some Lottery picks & allowed them to bottom out which landed them DeAaron Fox.
This Kings squad has some Serious size & athleticism & equally important is all the pieces really fit. I really hope they can keep this up all season & put a respectable record together

I picked him up in fantasy – have always kept an eye on him each season. He used to be very inconsistant. one night go for 20+, then the next go 1-8 with 4 points.

  Same here haha. Basically the glue guy on my team picking him up helped me win a few categories.

Another player that is doing great after getting away from Thibs and his shouting. A lot of players can’t take that kind of pressure.

I would love for the Kings to sneak into the 8th seed thus giving Boston only the 18th or 19th pick.

He didnt screw over the 76ers to sign with Sacramento. Initially he came to an agreement with Philly but he wanted to be a starter and have a proper oppurtunity so he decided to go back to Europe. Then Divac agreed to make him a starter and he signed with the Kings.

One things for sure my man Nemanja just hit the lottery. Nothing like a big fat juicy NBA contract.

Nemanja was never in a hurry to come over to the NBA or to declare for a draft, he was 27 before he finally came to the T-Wolves and whilst Tom Thibs gave him fair minutes he was always 4th choice big for them or behind Wiggins at SF. Going to Philly he’d have been in a similar situation.
He made good money on his Minny deal and probably had high Euro deals but a very good two guaranteed years with the Kings was too good to turn down. He gives the Kings a good rotational player and he is an experienced head on court in a very young roster with Z-Bo currently out.,
