genuine question: do teams have any written responsibility to play their best players? i know there are fines having to do with all stars and national tv games. but can a coach just not play their starters (non-stars) if they don’t want to? they could say they want to get their bench more developmental minutes or something if they need an excuse, but do they even need one? they’re a coach. by what metric can/does the league force them to make certain lineup decisions?

Gaebril | Kings

13 | 5 hours ago

There is a league participation policy. There’s also precedent for a fine as both Utah and Mavs are teams that have been fined for resting players to improve draft odds.

Ironically, Jazz got fined for doing it against Wizards. Admittedly, it is usually late/end of the season.

Russ has been one of the worst players in the league by any advanced metric you choose and would also be taking away a lot of on ball reps that Coop could be using. Would much rather have signed DLo than have Russ and when we start DNPing him there are issues in the locker room.

ForneauCosmique | Spurs

He did not over perform for the Nugs lol I love how this keeps getting parroted.

He played awful and shot the Nugs out of some of their games. There was a reason no team wanted him

people don’t realize averages don’t matter in the playoffs if your a role player. If you have a great game or two thats all that matters.

BowserBuddy123 | Heat

2 | 3 hours ago

He has that terrible Russ reputation which I think is largely undeserved, but after playing amazingly for the Nugs in the regular season, he had a few god awful playoff game efficiency wise for them and he was +4 in his best game and like -30, -20 (in a 5 point loss) and -34 in three others.

He didn’t look good and he seemed to take some issue with Adelman’s rotations. After game 4 where he was -20, his minutes got cut from about 25mpg against OKC to like 17 over the next two which the Nugs split. In game 7, he played 21 minutes again, but shot 2-7 and was a team low -34. It was a pretty bad last bit of basketball.

Perhaps not his fault. The Nugs bench was shallow at the time and the non Jokic minutes had been brutal for years. I imagine if he came back, he’d look a lot better with Jonas than with Deandre Jordan or perhaps exhausted Aaron Gordon who was playing a lot of backup 5.

Hendo8888 | IND

On paper their team heading into the season wasn’t that bad

PG: Westbrook/Schroder

Like, that team was never going to be a contender or anything, but when healthy they aren’t a 12-win team

Think we were the only team to give Russ an offer. LaVine doesn’t have suitors lining up either. Derozan I feel for. I think Fox helped get him here last year. And then mid season our team imploded and derozan kind of got stuck here.

slipperysusanne | Kings

11 | 5 hours ago

If I remember correctly, Fox wasn’t involved in the Derozan acquisition at all and I would bet he secretly knew it was a terrible addition to the team. It was the literal opposite of what the team needed, but Vivek just had to stick his grubby little fingers into the process (Monte and Wes would have done nothing otherwise so a real lose-lose if you ask me).

porkchop487 | Bulls

It’s because Lavine has a big contract, he’s a baller though by no means a bad player.

Prestigious-Flow-64

3 | 5 hours ago

not to be that guy, but i absolutely foresaw this level of nastiness. their best players are ALL boxscore-is-better-than-the-eye-test type guys. derozan, apart from maybe that one season in chicago, has never been nearly as good of a player as his stats/reputation paint him. his favorite shot is the lowest percentage shot in basketball, he’s super unreliable in the clutch, and he sucks at playmaking, three point shooting, and defense. as a wing player. that’s brutal. also he’s old now. lavine is similar. pretty good shooter and can scale it up with volume to hit high point totals, but he does nothing else worthwhile on either end and can be totally taken out of the game by a dedicated defense. sabonis is trash at defense and plays the most important defensive position, and his offense gets shut down by any team that chooses to actually pressure him on-ball. westbrook has arguably been their best all around player, but this is old ass westbrook we’re talking about. their bench is full of one way players and/or straight up scrubs. they have no good athletes in a league increasingly dependent on pushing pace. this is one of the ugliest rosters i’ve ever seen.

Haven’t seen Skal name for forever, but your post inspired me to look up his stats. Damn that’s some good shooting splits.

Skal was always super talented but he just couldn’t figure out how to make it work in the NBA. I don’t know if that was more on his side or coaching or both. He went to the same high school in Memphis that Marc Gasol, Cam Payne, and Mousa Cisse all went to, which is pretty crazy for a relatively small private school.

He played 12 mins total in what I assume was a 10-day contract for Sac last season and before that he hadn’t played since 2019

That’s really great for him because it keeps adding additional years to his future NBA pension. I don’t know the exact rules, but I’m pretty sure that if you step foot on an NBA court for only a minute the entire season, you still get another year of service tacked on and that adds up come retirement time.

Skal is a top tier human so I’m happy he’s at least getting that.

If Keegan finds his 3pt shooting again then he’s an extremely valuable player.

Now before people start saying Shai,Dub, Caso, and Chet. The talent I’m talking about is overall based on draft picks. The Thunder roster is mostly made up of undrafted and 2nd round picks.

clearly you dont watch the kings - lavine is actively harming the team (so hes great for the tank). demar plays 0 defense too

I know Levine is a net negative. I just figured he’s still better than whatever the Wizards put out

Remember when the Raptors fanbase was not impressed when Masai picked Pascal Siakam over Skal?

Is it tanking or just kingsing?

Crazy that when franchises actually try you get something like 8 or 9 seed.

the kings are trying, so from our end it is kingsing. when we try, we still lose

I was looking at the box score earlier and was genuinely in shock when I saw Skal Labissiere’s name

And I watched the whole thing baby. Couldn’t believe my eyes. Skal, tank-killer.

Kings are ASS, I still can’t comprehend how we won.

Skal + Sharife is /r/nba_draft heaven, how many thousands of words were written about those two just for them both to never have a meaningful moment in the NBA (until tonight, of course).

Thank you for watching this game. I saw a clip from a wizards game a couple of days ago and saw Skal on their bench and did a big ho’ shit that guys still in the league.

Like I can feel your pain😂

The other team is trash but then your team decides to be committed to be more trashier is wilddddd

it is most definitely not a tank off. as a kings fan, i can sadly confirm this is us genuinely trying to win.

Honestly was borderline match fixing in this game.

Just straight up unforced handling errors bringing the ball up the court by seasoned vets on the Kings.

Was blowing my mind that this was an NBA game. I don’t even remember seeing this level of tanking for Wemby.

So everyone cheers when the Kings-wizards are out tanking each other but shit on the Jazz when they tank. The double standard is wild.

If you’re saying that as a Jazz fan you should like that, it means the NBA fanbase in general thinks highly of your franchise, unlike these two

Coming from a Nets fan is crazy yall just lost by like 50 points tn. The Kings have been mid forever that’s the problem we’re never actually that bad

When was the last time the Kings have had a bottom 2 or 3 record? They’re always mid enough to win around 30 games. This bottoming out is due so they can finally get out of this cycle and purgatory. The last time the Kings had the worst record in the league was 17 years ago

The kings have actually never tanked before which is why were so bad, and the nets have somehow managed to put up 66 and 77 points in the span of two weeks

the sacramento kings haven’t tanked in the 21st century. I’m not sure if they tanked before then either.

DrChiz | Kings

You get into Paul George’s stash? Kings have never actively tanked and officially gone for a rebuild & TRIED to lose lol that’s our problem as a franchise especially under Vivek’s ownership.

Kings are usually (not in recent years) just middling bad hence lottery picks and not Top 4 shit.

The Wizards haven’t been relevant since the days of Arenas/Butler/Jamison, and before that, since the days of Michael Jordan.

Everyone knows the Wizards and Kings are the most embarrassing franchises in the league. Terrible from the top all the way to the bottom. Yall need to look at the hornets as a blueprint on how to get out of that shithole. They were a laughingstock for years and look to have finally turned the corner

If you didn’t watch Kings-Wizards you missed some of the craziest tanking all year
