PDA reaches out to Carmichael Dave on Twitter

[theclash4u5]

I think it's no coincidence that PDA spoke up after Grant went off on the front office today, and PDA knows that it's Dave is closer to the fans than Grant (especially on twitter)

 

[macadocious]

I really hope Dave gives him KF type of questions...

I have a question though. Usually after a firing, won't the GM and owner come out and have a press conference on what exactly happened? I don't remember one with the Kings.

They had one, a lengthy one too. It was all about style of play.

Hey there @Pdoro. In NOLA till Monday. 8am 1/5? Submitted and unedited fan questions. Open lines. Open mic. Free for all. I'm in dude.

 

[nebs]

Lol damn I have to be up in a few hours. Fuuuuuuuu

 

[VF21]

Damn it. People keep trying to get PDA to answer stuff now.

 

[theclash4u5]

DAMMIT of course he has to ask that when Dave is on vacation until Monday

Really? Can you link me? I don't remember a full on presser like the 9ers'. Boy was that bad..

Damn it. People keep trying to get PDA to answer stuff now.

I know he won't answer but I asked my question via Twitter anyway.

 

[D-Mass]

Really? What did she tweet? I haven't seen anything like that.

She must have deleted the tweet...saw it just a little while ago. She asked him if he would come on Grant's show on Monday or Tuesday.

That was not anything about Grant. It was a joke between Deuce and Jodi.

Can't find it, it does not seem to be on Kings website anymore.

 

[nebs]

Haha Dave with his George Karl avatar on Twitter as he's reponding to PDA.

@CarmichaelDave I would rather speak directly to our fans than written ?s. Let fans respond to my answers. Monday works. What time?

 

[VF21]

This is gonna be epic, fellow Kings fans.

 

[datamanwes]

I give Pdoro some credit for agreeing to take the calls. He must have known how bad Jed York came off this morning trying the same thing

I really doubt it. As a test, anyone ask a question you'd like to ask pete and we can "pretend" to non-answer it the way pete will.

The hope here is clearly that addressing the fans will help slow down the rage train threatening to run right through their future plans.

Like I said on Twitter, I'll cut PDA some slack when I actually here him. Until then, this could just be another tactic to take a bit of pressure off. Vivek is still in Maui. I can't imagine he's very happy about his Twitter account blowing up 24/7.

 

[Elise10]

Of course I have to work Monday (am on vacation now)!
Written questions are just as important!

You soooooo missed the point of my comment. Epic can mean more than one thing, you know.

 

[macadocious]

This is the question that needs to be asked

What the "blank are you doing?" Why would you fire a coach who is

a. winning
b. has the respect of the fans and the city
c. (most importantly) has the respect of his players

Also, do you think the fans care at all about style vs. wins? We have been through a lot here. Yes the early 2000's Kings were fun to watch, but we would have happily watched JVG Knicks basketball if it put a banner in the rafters.

It's really ironic because York was talking about how fans say a lot of stuff on social media, but when they talk to him face to face, they don't trash him..

I think it'll be the same thing here. People on twitter will lash out with a lot of stupid comments like, "Gerbil you suck".

I did miss it. Too caught up in my disgust right now.

8? Seriously? Dang, will miss it. I hope there will be a recording of it somewhere online...

 

[macadocious]

Can we start a separate thread here that can have our questions so Dave can read them and put them in his 8-10? Twitter does not allow for enough words to ask proper questions.

VF21, can you handle that? And point Dave here to read them please?
