Quick Glance: Potential Trade Moves for Sacramento Kings Post Stagnation
- After a promising season, the Kings' playoff debut ended after just one season. Despite similar performance to the previous year, altered expectations led to disappointment. The Kings find themselves stuck in the NBA's Maddening Middle, where progress is painstaking, exhilaration fleeting.
- The Kings have a solid foundation with emerging players like Fox, Sabonis, and Murray. Despite missing the play-in, the core for a strong playoff team is in place. The challenge now lies in making the leap from good to great, meeting high expectations, and navigating the competitive Western Conference.
- Despite a promising season, the Kings were not as dominant as before. Improvements in defense and offensive challenges shaped their course. Sacramento needs patience and strategic decisions to thrive in the tough Western Conference, make the next step, and stay competitive.

Quick Glance: Bringing Oakland Athletics to Sacramento is Wrong | Opinion
- Sports radio personality David Weiglein, known as 'Carmichael Dave', opposes the temporary relocation of the Oakland Athletics to Sacramento by Kings owner Vivek Ranadive.
- Weiglein argues that bringing the Oakland Athletics to Sacramento is wrong due to owner John Fisher being considered one of the worst in sports and advocates for the A's to remain in Oakland.
- He cautions that Sacramento would receive a bad reputation as game attendance might dwindle after the initial novelty wears off, leaving loyal fans feeling duped.
- Weiglein draws a parallel to the heroic story of saving the Sacramento Kings from moving to Seattle, emphasizing his refusal to engage with an owner like Fisher.

Jrue Holiday, Celtics reportedly reach agreement on 4-year, $135 million extension
sports.yahoo.com/jrue-holiday-celtics-reportedly-reach-agreement-on-4-year-135-million-extension-232231366.html
Quick Glance: Celtics Extend Contract with Jrue Holiday for $135 Million over 4 Years: Sources
- The Celtics reached an agreement on Wednesday with guard Jrue Holiday for a four-year, $135 million contract extension, as confirmed by league sources. The news of the deal was initially reported by ESPN. Holiday was part of the trade last offseason where the Bucks traded him to the Celtics in exchange for players and two first-round picks. Prior to that, the Blazers acquired Holiday in a three-team deal involving player exchanges. Holiday, aged 33, boasts a two-time NBA All-Star and three-time NBA All-Defensive First Team accolades. He clinched an NBA championship with the Bucks in 2021. Throughout the 2023-24 season, Holiday is averaging 12.5 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 4.9 assists per game.
- Once again, the Celtics successfully negotiated a significant offseason addition into accepting a reduction in salary for an extension. Al Horford agreed to a two-year, $60 million extension following his trade to Boston in the summer, and now Holiday will forego his $37.4 million player option to kickstart an extension beginning at approximately $30 million annually. This extension provides Holiday with security well into his late 30s, while also retaining a player option post the potential salary spike from the next TV deal. Holiday promptly assumed the role of the team's defensive leader upon arriving in Boston. His adaptability and leadership in coordinating the team's defensive schemes contributed to Boston achieving the league's second-best defensive rating.
