Things Draymond Green hates:
Raindrops on roses
Whiskers on kittens
That damn beam

Things I hate:
Draymond Green
Draymond Green chest-stomping Domas
Draymond Green being a prissy-ass biatch
It's all laughs until someone Kings Fans actually want doesn't want to sign with Sacramento because they think the beam is lame.

If there's someone out there who choose not to sign with the Kings because they think the beam is lame, then I don't think this person is serious enough as a ball player and I won't want him as well.
I hear you, and I believe that you believe that... I just don't think that you're right. I definitely think that there are a non-zero number of players that would be classified as "serious ball players" according to @Double-K's Personal Record Book™ (shout out to Stugotz) who have disdain for the beam. It's possible that you still wouldn't want those players anyway, though.

It is very likely that the vast majority of the NBA players would respond to the mantra, "give them the money and they will come" (to Sacramento). Consider DeRosan in this category.

However, there are other players who have enough money to last for generations that want a winning legacy and would rather be on a potential winning team. Think Fox in this scenario.

Finally, a few players will eschew the money and legacy but refuse to play in a toxic organization that has the potential to bring them down and interfere with their professional goals. Siakam might be a player with this issue.

Into this cauldron there are the agents (Klutch) pushing players this way and that depending on how it affects their own business model.

I have difficulty believing that this would apply to Fox, but not DeRozan. Or are we going to continue to pretend that the Kings had had a winning record for two seasons in a row, and appeared to be a team on the rise when DeRozan signed?

If you choose to believe that, I guess?
