    So we're 2 years ahead of the Kings?

    So basically we are two years away from being two years away (Cabloco). Which means the Rockets will be a top five team in two years.

    The Kings had a brilliant season with that 48 W team but they would not replicate that.

    It is good to know that De'Aaron is a fringe Superstar.

    The Rockets are more of the opposite, defensive version. Sac's Offense is likely to go away.

    I do not think the Kings are a Top 5 team, I think they were pretenders last year too.

    Opponents scouted them and now they are dropping.

    They were really good offensively.....but how long can you maintain hot shooting.

    They have Fox who is arguably a Top 15 player and Sabonis to me is only a Top 38 ish player.

    The rest are just a collection of good role players.

    Pump the breaks, you can’t evaluate the Kings with Fox out.

    You can, I thought this was about the Rockets and the Kings.

    The Kings are not a contender, contenders win games without their superstar as well.

    Fox is a borderline superstar, they are a playoff team with him healthy.

    Sacramento became a #1 offense plus bad defense. We're most likely going to be a better defensive than offensive team (almost the opposite). Our PG is not our lead scorer. Jalen Green is kind of like a taller De'Aron Fox, can learn a lot from him I guess.

    I don't think it's similar except we'll run similar plays to what they run for Sabonis.

    They were but I think this year it is not as clear.......they might drop, they are 2-3 which is the same record
    as the Rox.

    Their Defense is not good that is the reason they would likely suffer, for a Mike Brown team.

    Fox is never really that healthy during a season.
