#The Kings badly need any back up PG who has the capability to get into the lane and create no matter what other limitations they have. All we currently have is Collison.
Guys like Phil Pressey could certainly help our 2nd unit bringing in pace and play-making. Hell even Raymond Felton who's 5th in line on the Mavericks once he's healthy could help us in that regard. Other names could be guys like Kendall Marshall, Ridnour just anyone who can get into the lane

Rudy Gay defends Kings, calls Kendrick Perkins a clown.

DeMarcus Cousins is running around Sacramento tonight being Santa Cuz, which is as great as it sounds.
Love me some Santa Cuz, but is that exactly smart if dude has viral meningitis? Hopefully means he'll be getting back soon

I wonder if the reason we didn't play Casspi last 3 games was to both show off Williams (or maybe an indication that PDA/Vivek like D-Will) and that we are trading Casspi in some sort of package. I'm sure teams would have been impressed by his play as a starter and reverse for the most part.
Next few days are interesting also I noticed Kennath Faried after coming back from a ankle injury missed 2night after coming back for one game, and PDA/Vivek (has ties to PDA) love no defense dunkers so maybe keep an eye out on that one.

Well at least they allowed him to say goodbye. There is a sinking feeling in my stomach, that this might get a lot worse before it gets better. From 5-1 and playing hard to 11-13 (still not bad for our previous standards and Cousins out) and probably our locker room leader/coach gone, with 99% of the basketball world laughing at us and saying "same old Kings."
What in the world has Sacramento done to continuously be afforded such a lack of professionalism, disloyalty, and general incompetence to run an NBA franchise properly? It's like a modern day curse.

I listened to the pre-presser, I did think he said that.
Stories coming out of the Kings PR team are not all adding up. Not that there's necessarily anything to see here, I mean they DID fire the coach and we DO know about that but come on, guys. Did Cousins know, or not? Did he meet with Malone, or not? I don't want to see him saying one thing and you saying another.

Perhaps the word curse was not appropriate, but the Kings have had probably one of the most, if not the most, unprofessional owners in all of sports for a long time with the Maloofs. They were trading players for cash back because they were broke and everyone knew it. They weren't horrible for the first few years because they were rich, were willing to spend, and were really involved in regards to the games. Then they lost their money, and things got bad for us.
Now, we have an owner with lots of money, but no basketball experience. He, however, thinks he is brilliant and is like a puppet master from afar, dictating everything. I care about being the laughingstock of the NBA once again. We can't ever get rid of this label of being utterly pathetic and the "same old Kings." It affects our future. Coaches and players alike are now on high alert that even if you do well, if you don't fit into what they (AKA Vivek) want, you are gone. No other team in the NBA has been remotely as trigger happy to firing coaches as we have been. That stuff wears on you as a player.

That is all because coach Pop has always been good.
We are lucky our owner really cares about winning and continuously find ways to upgrade the team. He was true to his words when he said the team will be graded according to winning or losing.
He could have stayed with an under-performing and inexperienced coach, forget that we are losing winnable games, and stay on our path to doom - all to save money.
We should be thankful for an owner like Vivek.
