They have you fooled don't they.
How do they know they can get better than malone he did a very good job. 2nd hardest schedule in we are still 2 games from 8 seed without cousins. Nobody is winning with Hollins/JT/landry rotation espiscially the way Collison has been playing lately. La/det/orl have more talent than us with boogie gone and gay being the number 1 option.
You keep malone and the team gets closer and you win 40-49 games this year. You make a couple trades to get the bench better in the off season and we make the playoffs easily next year. But no these ****ers don't care about that they want to run and gun how people in here arnt siding with malone is beyond me.

It's about suburbs in Roseville and Folsom, not Mumbai
It's about 2016-17 ticket prices. They just presume they will be good enough to make the playoffs in two years in the West (we'll see.) Their economic model, which doesn't include any revenue sharing when the new arena opens, is based upon massive ticket price hikes.
To ensure they meet their economic goals (protect Viveck's wallet), they aren't banking on just the additional sales following both a good team and the new arena buzz. They are concerned that casual fans, particularly casual fans that loved the Webber Divac glory days won't be super excited to watch a team that plays like Jeff Van Gundy's Rockets. The idea is that many casual fans have tuned out for years (some truth), and when they start watching or catch a game in person some will say, "This team is so boring. It's not like the old days." (really?) PDA has clearly been giving the marching orders that Viveck's financial models require the team to be BOTH very good and very entertaining in 1 and 3/4 seasons.
It's no accident that PDA keeps talking about the new arena. It's the goal and deadline to determine whether he's going to keep his job. How many times this summer did he say "We want to be a good team when the arena opens."
We are a small market team with a decent roster. PDA has been ordered not just to make the team a fringe contender, but to make them an entertaining fringe contender. I can't stand PDA, but to his credit he's been giving unreasonable goals by an owner that doesn't understand what he's asking for is close to impossible.

Vivek loves to try associating himself with big names. He loves the attention.
That's why he has Roger Craig and Mully by his side.
And that's why so many times, we've heard this quote: "Like my good friend Steve Jobs always said, I like to surround myself with people that are smarter than me". Note the name dropping.
He love of attention. That's really why he jumped on the opportunity to be the majority owner of a team so he can be the face. I don't blame him for ambition as long as he sticks to the business side of things. He needs to know when to stop and let the people that knows better than him do their work.

It's funny how Pete said they are going after this style of play for the fans.
Look, fans want to see the team win. If you don't win, no one will watch. Plain and simple. It doesn't matter where you are. Why has the ratings for the lakers dipped? Because they are losing. They are still playing the same ol kobe ball but where did the fans go?
Honestly, its just another rich millionaire that THINKS he knows more than everyone else. Thinks he can out smart everyone and thinks his way is the best way.
How much faster do you think a big fella like Cousins will get worn out running up and down all night? God forbid, injuries from wear and tear alone will start piling on.

He held on to Roger Craig so tight like he was the last slice of cake on earth. And that was before he became an owner of a major sports team so Craig meant so much more to him then.
Vivek lives to be admired. Like one of those "god king" figures that wants their subjects to worship him. He wants that kind of attention on him.
Vivek is thinking, if this style of play catches on and what I implement works out, oh my oh my. How many worshipers will I have?

With George Karl publicly stating that he would take the kings head coaching job if it were offered to him it will be a sign of a total disaster scenario for this franchise if he isn't hired. Barring some kind of miracle hire. It's George or bust for us right now. I know that if I had the opportunity to hire the equivalent of Karl in my field of expertise, and I didn't do it, I would surely be fired.
You know what it is clear now that Malone wanted to keep tyreke and was vetoed by the fools. Malone was all over tyreke the minute he was hired. Shouldn't PDA have known that the salary would go up and you can't afford to let tyreke leave and tyreke at 11mil doesn't hurt flexibility when DMC contract wouldn't kick in for 2 more seasons . We still could have traded for Gay cause Toronto wa trading him for anything. We could have had DMC, JT, Gay, Tyreke, and Ben that is a championship team in no time when you add a bench and the way Malone tought defense.
In hindsight, all of these moves speak more towards sabotaging Malone's chances, don't they?
That lineup still had holes, but definitely would have been a tough team to play every night. In that lineup, you have 3 players who could drop 30 points on a given night, meaning there wouldn't be too much of a drop-off when Cousins fell.
