No I was not a fan before the Maloofs.I would love a champship team too,but the Maloofs are rebuilding the teamand want results now.You cant have it both ways.It takes time to build a good team.I think as kings fans we want good results now.I think we have a winning team.The longer they play together the better they will get.
Actually the Maloofs stubbornly wanted to try and reload on the fly until the end of last year when they finally realized that wasn't going to happen and Bibby was traded, which really and truly started the rebuild a lot of us knew had to happen.
I'm pretty sure they're well aware of how long it takes to build a good team but they also know the kids aren't going to get better if Reggie doesn't play them.
I don't think Theus is doing that bad a job this time in getting the kids minutes, as I believe in a balance between youth and veterans. I think that's the best way to rebuild AND at least keep some fan interest, which is what's happening right now.
People are talking about the Kings again, and it's not about Artest and the latest drama d' jour. It's about the energy and excitement and how much fun the games are to watch again.
I don't think our philosophies about the team are that far apart. I just don't agree at all that the Maloofs are the problem.
