About this episode

Toke and Geoff discuss the Sacramento Kings' struggles and their Vegas experiences while analyzing potential trades and draft strategies.

Toke and Geoff are back "Live from the Big Tomato" with a simple theme for the first KingsPod2020 of the new year: You win by winning. That's great for Toke's Vegas bachelor party, where a mini hot streak at the Wynn and Cosmo sportsbook turns into a degenerate live-betting ride on Fresno State vs San Diego State. It's not so great for the Sacramento Kings, who have gone 7–20 since the last episode. The guys talk about Kings fans sliding from anger into apathy, Sacramento's Washington Generals era, and whether Scott Perry is actually trying to win now or just cleaning up Monte/Vivek's mess for the next two seasons. They break down Maxime Raynaud and Nique Clifford as "found money," bury the De'Aaron Fox trade return, question Devon Carter at 13, and argue over how high to really be on Keegan Murray. The back half of the pod zooms out to tanking, draft odds, and star swings: whether being dead last actually matters when your draft history is this bad, Ja Morant as a sicko trade target, Tyrese Maxey as the dream guard, and Giannis/Fox hypotheticals that only Kings sickos would come up with. A little Vegas luck, a lot of Kings misery, and the same closing note as always: Go Kings.
