The NBA does provide evidence of the lottery taking place.
Unless you're suggesting everyone is in on it, including law firms and the representatives of teams who don't benefit from it at all.
I'm sorry, but it's the most Kings thing ever to lose our pick in a strong draft and get bounced in the play-in. Even if we make the playoffs, it will be a very swift exit. Essential a totally wasted season given the timeline of our roster.
Sucks to lose this one going into the AS break on a choke job. Lack of defense is obvious.
Still not convinced this team is anything more than distinctly mediocre.
This might be the most average, middle of the road team we've had yet. Competitive but can't win a close game. Hovering around .500 without looking like a dangerous team.
I don't see this squad making the playoffs, and possibly not even the play-in. Our defence sucks once again, I don't care...
Well, multiple opportunities to go ahead and close this one out, and multiple choke jobs.
Fox was awful down the stretch, unnecessary turnovers, bad shots, and missed badly on a wide open three to tie it.
We were only in this game due to DDR's heroics.
This will ruffle some feathers but we...
We are not winning this game and don't deserve to.
Lyles has sucked all year and needs to not get minutes. He's a chair defensively, makes poor decisions consistently, and hasn't been able to knock down shots. He's a total liability right now.
Kings are suffering from our usual problems...
While DeMar is older than I'd like, he's still productive and should have a couple years left in him. And he's about as good as we can hope to get in Sacramento.
Hopefully there's not much going out in return, but he should make us better in the short term.
I'm going to give Monte the benefit of the doubt and assume this is linked to a deal; otherwise this is awful.
My worry is that we have made similarly awful deals in the past, value-wise, which didn't lead to anything.
I was more asking where is this negative reaction being seen? The reaction is overwhelmingly positive on this site. I'm assuming twitter.
Drafting for need is proven to be an awful strategy in the majority of cases. You sort out your needs via trades and FA. It's amazing that some people still...
Awesome. Carter was right up there on my wish list and I assumed he'd be gone.
Why is everyone saying Kings fans are upset? Is this coming from Twitter? I haven't seen any negative reaction but I avoid the cesspit that is twitter.
