The SportsEthos Sacramento Kings Podcast

In the 4 games since the much discussed Hali/Sabonis trade, the Kings have gone 2-2. And excluding an ugly loss to Brooklyn, the team has actually been entertaining to watch!

We review what we've seen from the new look squad, and share our goals for the rest of the season. Does play-in matter? Who should be playing more? All that and more on this casual Friday episode.

Trade Deadline Day 2022, and it surely didn't disappoint! We got a group together to breakdown the Kings active 48 hours: Trevor Cancilla and Connor Sutton return, and Jill's pal Megan Walden-Schertz (Megalu on Twitter) makes her debut with us!

We share our instant reactions to Tyrese being traded, our thoughts on Sabonis, how we'd grade McNair's moves and much more.

P.S. We believe again. Sam has found happiness with this team. Incredible times.

Short and to the point, this Thursday night episode focuses solely on the Trade deadline on February 10th.

Jill shares stats on the rapid rate of moves within 24 hours of the deadline, and we each give our best guesses for a. What we want to happen, and b. What we think the Kings will actually do...

It's all chaos, all the time with this team. All bets are off. Your move McNair.

2 weeks until the NBA trade deadline. That's all we care about, truly. But we use this episode to discuss more trade ideas and recent buzz, Jill analyzes how some organizations pulled off quick rebuilds, and we end with the return of the best: "Jill's Water Cooler."

The Kings are on yet another losing streak, and are 12 games under .500. With no major trade(s) yet, there's just no reason to talk about this team.

Instead, we recap an amazing weekend of NFL playoff football, including the 49ers miraculous win at Lambeau, the Bengals magic ride, Josh Allen's heartbreak, and more.

We do end the show with some Kings talk: Jill reveals the next name on her coaching candidates list, as we realize that Alvin Gentry may not be the long-term guy (spoiler: he never was).

It's been 12 days since we last did an episode. Despite our hopes that we'd return from our separate activities to talk a season rebound- the Kings are still a disaster.

Right after we recorded on this Wednesday night, Sacramento fell at the last second to the 10 win (!) Detroit Pistons. What a mess. Thankfully, we spend this show mostly what lies ahead: the trade deadline. We pick our favorite between Sabonis and Simmons, and how the next 10 games can really change the direction McNair goes.

It's good to be back y'all. Kind of. Wish this team wasn't such a bummer.

Our Friday guest shows are BACK. We ring in the first Friday of 2022 with another Kings Herald writer joining us, Brenden Nunes (also of the Sac Bee and the Kings Pulse podcast).

Brenden, a dedicated detractor to the "Kings must move Fox" narrative, explains why we must ride it out with #5 (and Tyrese Haliburton) as the faces of this squad. We also talk trades and whether we truly care about making the play-in tourney.

Finally, we end this fast-paced episode by giving Robert Woodard (!) some love. Have a great weekend y'all!

In Kings news that really isn't news, GM Monte McNair apparently has Vivek's blessing to "do whatever is necessary" to help the team get to the postseason.... cool! We weren't thinking McNair was trying to tank.

We discuss Sam Amick's latest insight, review the Lakers game, Haliburton's continued hesitancies when playing with Fox, and then briefly preview the Kings next opponent: the depleted Atlanta Hawks.

The Kings rang in 2022 with a nice home win against the Heat, and they currently remain in possession of the 10th seed for the play-in tourney. Do we care though? No. Do we think this team will likely follow up this game with a blowout loss? Of course we do.

We cover a range of topics on this Monday, from Monte McNair's court side appearance, the talent yet lack of chemistry with this team, and even some WNBA talk (we will always love you Becky Hammon).

A diverse show to begin this new, rollercoaster week of Kings basketball. New year, same bullshit!

Sacramento won a game, but we don't care about that. Instead, we spend this Wednesday episode singing the praises of Tyrese Haliburton, while attacking the question many now have: is the 21-year-old ready to take the keys of the franchise?

We analyze the silliness of an "either or" approach to Fox/Hali, while comparing it to the famous Monta Ellis/Steph Curry situation for the golden era Warriors (hint: they aren't similar). We then bring the show to a close in our best fashion- with a Jill's Water Cooler, presented in a different form.
