No. His posts have been extremely condescending, vitriolic and sarcastic to anyone who disagrees with him on here lately. Those same tactics are used in talk radio to spark debate and entertain people. It's just not my thing and not what I come here for. I don't follow Dave that closely but the version of him I see on here isn't the one I had seen before. Maybe I wasn't watching close enough, maybe this is out of character. I don't know.
1. Incomplete. Let's see the rest of the moves, if any.
2. Same thing. Let's see what happens next.
3. I vomit at the idea of Ellis coming, but these guys know him a hell of a lot better than I do. If it happens I will shudder, but ill wait for the games to be played before I want PDA fired and think Vivek is a cute little short guy who is clueless about basketball.
But that's just me.

It's nothing like that.
Drinking alcohol will definitely get you more impaired the more you drink. The outcome is assured, and crash odds increase the more you drink. To sit idly by would be inviting tragedy.
The results of these moves are an unknown, as the remaining pieces may have yet to be in place.
C'mon Ivy League.

This is what I take issue with. So far we've gotten rid of one guy. And even if letting Tyreke walk was a prudent basketball decision, which I don't think it was but I understand the counter arguments on that one, it was also a really bad move in terms of karma. This guy has been nothing if not loyal to the franchise. He sacrificed his own performance for the team while other players, not going to name names, have complained loudly when they didn't get theirs. He's been working out in Sacramento since the season ended, showed up for the rally and tweeted his support throughout the entire Seattle ordeal. And he wanted to stay and build his career in Sacramento. If you keep one guy to build your locker room around, this is the guy you keep. The guy who has demonstrated that he is committed to Sacramento. Vivek, Pete, and Mike are all on record as picking DeMarcus Cousins to be the cornerstone of the franchise. From a basketball standpoint I agree with this and I have also defended Cousins after most of the incidents which have given him a bad reputation, but you have to admit that saying you are committed to improving the culture and then picking Cousins as the guy above all others to build your team around is suspect. Making Monta Ellis a key target in the off-season is even more suspect.
What's your point? Some are excellent, some are abysmal. Just because a person holds the position of GM does not mean they're more capable of the job than any number of other people. And yes, that includes some fans. Unless you believe there's a magical cut-off point at which a person mysteriously develops the ability to evaluate talent and put it together.
You're going to give it time. Fair enough. People were calling Kahn an idiot when he was making moves that were clearly stupid, but I suppose Minny fans should have sat back and waited for the inevitable confirmation of the ineptitude before they complained. It's funny, you're coming across extremely arrogant whilst at the same time promoting yourself as the bringer of reason and patience. I doubt you'll be back apologising if the team is stuck in mediocrity in two or three years, unable to trade Landry or Monta (if, God forbid, that actually happens). No doubt you'll also be deeming the moves a success when the team wins 10 more games than the previous season, despite the long term health of the franchise being hugely restricted and essentially doomed to mediocrity.
Quite frankly your argument is extremely weak and I've yet to see you make a compelling argument. It comes down to whether you think the moves put the Kings in a good position to succeed or not. If you don't have any opinion whatsoever on whether they're good moves, then don't get all high and mighty about those that do. Most people are confident enough in their knowledge of the game to form an opinion one way or the other, rightly or wrongly. If you don't, then you're not in a position to label anyone the "worst type of fans". If you do believe they're making good moves, lets hear it, because you haven't stated anything like it.
Not that you'll care, but I'm really disappointed in you here. I follow you on twitter and I applaud your huge efforts in keeping the Kings, but you're way off base here.

The signing of Ellis makes losing Evans even more head scratching. Everything the anti-Reke part of the fan base says about him is Ellis x100. Other than Vasquez, the guy we signed (Landry) and supposed to sign (Ellis) doesn't fit the concepts they talked about when PDA and Malone were first hired. They are actually the opposite of what the team needs.
The result of these moves are an odds based thing as well. In my opinion, these last 3 moves have dramatically increased the odds of this team not being able to compete for a title in the next 4 years. Yeah the outcome may be unknown, but like all statistics you can look at past events and get a pretty good idea about the chances of them working in the future. Looking at past events like this, the teams that have made the moves have almost always regretted them in the long run.
He's intensely loyal to the new owners and wants the arena filled and rocking for a host of reasons. He's upset with the tone and certainty of Brick but responds in the same fashion. Before Ellis pursuit I agreed with his thesis but Im doublful now. I like Dave but he should spend his time working on his busted show.
Lol. Larry, if anything I've done a poor job of illustrating that I DON'T KNOW. I really don't! No clue. I'm simply choosing to give these guys some room and time to work. That's all. Not going to hang them until the defense rests. Not just the prosecution. Doesn't that make any sense at all?
Damn straight I want the arena rocking. Only way to make that happen? Wins. And on that, we can all agree.
We. All. Want. Wins.
And thanks for listening! Believe it or not, this gives me material for my "busted show"
