Kings to Virginia Beach: The “Largest” Small Market There have been many talks about moving the current Sacramento Kings NBA franchise to another location. Multiple new locations have been proposed over the last 4 or 5 months, with the top three destinations being Seattle, Kansas City, and Virginia Beach (in that order). Seattle makes the most sense, among the three, in all the major categories from geographic location, to population, to fan base, and socio-economic demographics. However, I say Seattle had their chance and had their run with the Super Sonics and it ran its course. I will say that Kansas City in the heart of the Heartland already has their beloved sport in football, both college and professional. I will say that the love for basketball in the deep Midwest, in Big 12 country, doesn’t compare for the love of basketball in the urban set, east coast, in the middle of ACC-land. So I would argue that Virginia Beach and the state of Virginia would be the best locati...

The Sacramento Kings are playing horrible basketball right now. They give up the third most points in the league at 102, and on offense they don’t share the ball, they’re dead last at assists per game with 18.5. “They know that they’re playing terrible basketball right now,” a source told NBC Sports. They also that part of that problem is not having Isaiah Thomas as...

Since suffering a bruised left knee Nov. 27 against Minnesota, the veteran guard has missed seven of 10 games. Tyreke Evans left Sunday’s loss to Denver after 10 minutes on the floor. An MRI showed no structural damage to the knee.
Kings coach Keith Smart said it’s not up to him whether Evans needs an extended break.
“That’s something that’s going to come down to him...

Although the 2012-13 NBA season is currently on its way to the mid-point, the 2012 calendar year is coming to a close and we here at A Royal Pain (along with the rest of the FanSided network) wanted to reflect on the best moments of the 2012 year.

Here's a newsflash: The Kings aren't very good. Why? Their pieces are still mis-matched, their pieces still don't work except on paper and in the land of misfit toys, Keith Smart doesn't really seemingly get the most out of his pieces when they are going well, and well it's hard to figure out exactly what pieces are going well in all reality, and oh yeah the chemistry...

Less than a year to go!
This is still all hypothetical, but it sure is nice to be able to look forward to the Northwest original back in the NBA soon.
With a good your core, the Sacramento Kings have the building pieces already in place to be a contender in the aging Western Conference.
By the time they roll into town as the Sonics, Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash, Tim Duncan, and the likes...

For the second day in a row I am leading in with a player from the Sacramento Kings. Yesterday it was Isaiah Thomas, today it’s Tyreke Evans, he of the knee bone problem that may force him to miss “an extended period of time”. Drats! Apparently the guy can’t move around too well and you do need to move around a little bit to play the basketball. Sooo, where does that leave...

After blowing a 15-point lead, Brooks made a pair of 3-pointers in the final minutes to help Sacramento pull away. Both teams shot 50 percent, while the Kings had a season high in points and...
Suns end up with enough to defeat Kings
PHOENIX -- Losing at home to the Sacramento Kings wouldn't have been the end of the world.
If certain interpretations of the Mayan calendar are on the money, the end of the world will show up on Friday.
But it was only Monday night and the Phoenix Suns were busy making sure they avoided losing to the second-worst team (by record) in the NBA's Western Conference.

SACRAMENTO -- It was a game that reminded some of the way the NBA used to look. The Sacramento Kings and Golden State Warriors had an old-fashioned shootout displaying the best of offensive basketball and a modicum of defense here and there. When it was over, the Kings were left standing with a 131-127 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday night before an announced...
