    We're #2! (merged)

    On Ayton I just don't see the level of value I would expect at the top of the Draft. He is probably going to have a good to great career. I just don't see him as a game changer or someone with talent that we can't find on the open market. Picking up a Dwayne Dedmon (poor mans Ayton) on the cheap...

    We're #2! (merged)

    I wanted mitchell #10 and issac at #5 for us last year. Mitchell was a hit and issac over fox is still incomplete for me. Brace yourself as I do not look at the popular mock drafts or just tag along with the consensus popular guys. (learned many lessons, jimmer, Trob, Bmac etc.) This year I...

    The direction of the Carter/Randolph signings

    ZBO/VC/G hill were not interested in mentorship. As ridculous as it sounds I think they were promised a push for the playoffs and plenty of playing time. Think about it logically guys. If your an accomplished playoff tested player with 10+ years under your belt and a large salary are you going...

    Vlade Divac - Kings GM AKA 21

    I look at Bogdan in the context of a 25 year old, he is closer to his peak than a normal rookie would be, same with Buddy. Fox is a young solid prospect that basically was a no brainer, it was either him or Issac and we will see in a year or two who the better pick was. Willie thinks hes...

    Vlade Divac - Kings GM AKA 21

    First of all Vlade was a great player for us, he was a part of some of the best memories of this franchise. He will be beloved in Sacramento forever for what he and the rest of that early 2K squad did. Its really a shame that Vivek used him as a PR shield, anybody and everybody knew he was not...

    Kings waiving papa morphed into Vlade sucks

    I would bet my house that we get nowhere near the playoffs next year. The talent gap between us and the other western conference teams is just too big as Vlades moves have done nothing but put us in a worse position. I do not even fully blame Vlade for all of this, he was not ready for a job of...

    Kings waiving papa morphed into Vlade sucks

    Vlade has been beyond terrible if this were anyone else the fans would have revolted by now. Beyond the bad drafts and free agent signings/trades just look at the terrible roster construction. In a league dominated by athletic wings and versatile players we decide to start the season with 5...

    Kings waiving papa morphed into Vlade sucks

    As dumb as it sounds the plan looked to be to actually make the playoffs this year. With the combo of ZBO/VC/G.Hill replacing Boogies production, growth in the young guys we already have plus production from our overrated draft class I think vivek truely believed this roster was ready to...

    Kings waiving papa morphed into Vlade sucks

    This team won't be successful and go no where until Vivek fires Vlade and hires a true (experianced or up and coming) GM with 100% control. Vlade is a legend (player) but at this point his list of good moves is tiny while the list of failures keeps growing. There was no point in signing G. Hill...

    Rebuild Strategy (or WE WANT LINS!)

    Huh? The same Lonzo that got dominated by Fox just a few months ago now has a much more NBA ready body?? Sorry not buying that.

    Rebuild Strategy (or WE WANT LINS!)

    Huh? We've beaten the Warriors does that make us better than them too? It means nothing that we beat a team in a single game as any team can win on any night.

    Rebuild Strategy (or WE WANT LINS!)

    I agree I think Fox is fine. If we had competent wings or a stretch 4 playing a small speed lineup with spacing to allow fox to attack like he did at UK I think he would look better. With ZBO/KK/WCS constantly clogging the middle it hurts his game.

    Rebuild Strategy (or WE WANT LINS!)

    Lonzo plays 35 mins weather he shoots 1-15 or 15-15 and he knows he has the trust of his coach no matter what happens. Knowing that you wont be benched for George Hill next game for missing too many shots is invaluable for a young player. Knowing that your coach has that much confidence in you...

    Rebuild Strategy (or WE WANT LINS!)

    Man the Lakers young guys are so versitile and are starting to gel with all of the court time they have been seeing. The Lakers have a switchable long wing lineup that really gives new style teams like the Dubs and Rockets fits. (While we have zero wing prospects perticularly defensively) I wish...

    Rebuild Strategy (or WE WANT LINS!)

    Yeah were not following any model at the moment. We are too scared to commit to a full rebuild/youth movement and too talent deprived to compete for anything.
