Okay, follow up question: do you think that many of the posts made by Kings Fans who have rooted for active Kings players to not do well have looked appreciably different from some of the posts you have made about McLemore?
Basically, what I am trying to determine is whether you believe that it is reasonable or unreasonable that someone could have made that mistake?

Do you guys really see Omri as a capable starter? I love his shooting and energy but he will be torched on defense by top SF's. I would like to trade Gay because he just isn't a good fit style wise with Cousins. At the same time you don't want to close one hole and open up another gaping hole somewhere else. Vlade and co. will have some tricky work to do to get this right if trading Gay, Koufos, Ben is indeed the plan. If Rondo is gone, Gay still could work with Cousins. Also as it stands we are pretty much set up for this year to be make or break in terms of Cousins and Sac. If it works veterans can opt back in/ be retained. If not Cousins can be traded for younger assetts while veterans all expire. Its actually a very impressive shuffling of chess pieces by Vlade, Cantanella and co.

Everyone was convinced we were a 40 win team at minimum with Rondo, Gay, Cousins and Karl. Its not always talent in a vacuum, but how the players meld together and how the coach maximizes every piece on his team. Rondo, Gay, Cousins doesn't work because all three play with low energy levels. Cousins needs players with energy around him.
Sure, it's definitely possible. Like I said, I can be aggressive at times when voicing my displeasure. However, if asked I will say the truth. I like the kid as a person, but this is a basketball league and I'm a results sort of guy. After 3 years, I'm tired of watching and waiting. It's really that simple. It's a big hole in our lineup and he played a huge role in that. However, if all of a sudden things clicked, I will certainly admit I was wrong about him. I have no problem doing so and would actually do it gladly.
If Casspi is our starting SF for the next season, might as well call it another wasted season IMO. He isn't starter material, at least not in my eyes and nor should he be asked to be. If you trade Gay, you need to get another SF in return that's capable of taking his starting spot and not just insert Casspi in there and voila!
To be honest, none of us know what Cousins needs around him until it actually produces wins, and lots of them. Then we can have a foundation in place and continue from there. Until then, it's pure speculation that a line up of 3 & D players will all of a sudden propel this team to 45-50 wins and a playoff berth. You need some talent too and not put all of the burden on one guys shoulder and say..."hey you, yeah you! go win us 50 games and give us a playoff berth, first one in ten years".

Eh. Doesn't seem horrible money wise if (big if) he stays healthy.
