I can see it unravel right before my very eyes.. I have been granted the ability of clairvoyance, the skills that enable me to manipulate the holographic time grid. The ephemeral opportunity to enter the 4th dimension, to travel outside our observable timespace...
You may feel cheated, like you're being treated like trash. You may even feel like this.
But do not fret nor worry fellow Kings fans, I have come to spread the goods news.
The General Manager of your beloved Kings franchise, Pete D'Alessandro, can clearly see four moves ahead as stated by majority owner Vivek Ranadive.
The hiring and firing of coach Michael Malone was an experiment to rouse and awaken DeMarcus Cousins.
The experiment was a success, as DeMarcus Cousins is going participate in his first All-Star game in New York this year.
Now Kings fans, Pete D'Alessandro's has great foresight, even better than my own. When his most gracious of hosts inherited position of general manager, the great Pete D'Alessandro knew about the pick going to Chicago. First he had to secure Rudy Gay to a 3-year-deal and in order to do so, the team had to win. This could only be accomplished with the awakening of DeMarcus !@#$
ing Cousins, which happened.
Once they inked the deal and secured the great Rudini, it was time to fire coach Malone. Sorry to say Kings fans, but coach Malone was a sacrifice. It had to happen.
Now, on towards Corbin and the draft pick. These two key players have vital roles within the grander scheme of things. First, Tyrone Corbin is a decoy. He, with his gimp limp, is there to frustrated us. The fans. To distract us from the bigger picture... and that bigger picture... is the 2017 NBA Championship.
I know what you're thinking.... 2017? 2017 NowImLost, are you serious?
Dead serious.
Hear me out.
Vivek went to India with Adam Silver recently. What do you think they discussed? Basketball Without Borders? Give me a break...
THEY DISCUSSED THE 2015 NBA LOTTERY OF COURSE.
Adam Silver is all about the ratings. The NBA still owes us for 2001, according to David Stern. So, the plan is this... Don't blink because I can only say this once.
Breathe.. breathe...
The Kings finish with a record that leaves them in position to hold the
11th pick
prior to the 2015 draft lottery. Now if all things go like you think it should, the Bulls nab the Kings pick. Guess what? That's not gonna happen.
No, no, no.
With a few strings pulled by Silver, the Kings win the 2015 draft lottery and draft Jahlil Okafor.
Then...
...The 2017 NBA Championship.
