They weren't even mediocre. They were top 4 lottery bound. In 08-09, they went 43-39. The 2nd best player was Beasley/Marion. Take your pick. Wade On Court ORTG 110.5 DRTG 107.3 Wade off Court ORTG 99.4 DRTG 110.5 Anytime you are under 100 ORTG, you are bad. So no, those Miami teams...

I don't believe so. Without wade, their best player was Michael Beasley. If Beasley is your best player, you are a lottery bound team.

Those MIA teams might have been better defensively, but they were pretty bad on offense. Their 2nd best player was the ghost of Michael Beasleyfollowed by Udonis Haslem/Mario Chalmers? Kings are mediocre, but the pieces are a bad fit.

I think it has less to do with elite guards being able to shoot threes and being able to breakdown a defense. The dribble and drive offenses are very successful today. Probably because guards are better at passing and can put the ball where it's needed. Dwayne Wade couldn't shoot a lick, but...

I think an elite guard can lead a team to more wins that an elite center because they are able to have the ball in their hands more. The team lacks good guards let alone elite guards which is why they are where they are at.

The thing is WCS and Afflalo have been awful this year. If Skal played over WCS, the team wouldn't miss a beat.

Of course he doesn't. It was the most useless 7 mins of play you will see from a player. Just complete garbage.

Experience would have helped during Vlade's early tenure as GM. At the very least, he should have surrounded himself with people who had experience in the FO. I think early on Vlade didn't understand the value of draft picks, which is why he traded them to Philly. An experienced GM would know...

They were successful BEFORE he got there and made the WCF 2x.

And how well did PHO do during Kerr's tenure?

1 rookie year doesn't define an entire career. Most smart GM's would know that. There's no way the pick is "easily" going to be #20. It's going to at least be mid-range.

That unprotected 2019 pick is going to hurt. You should be able to get something more than capspace for the draft pick on a team that is a perennial loser.

Vlade was inexperienced when he first took over. It's clear as day. No one with FO experience would have been robbed blind by Sam Hinkie in the awful 76ers trade.

Seriously. Let's see what this tough team has taught the youngsters.

Less of a crapshoot than someone who has zero experience in the FO. PDA was one example. That's a far cry from often prove to be a bad choice. BTW I'm not sure how you would even know no other better GM's were available. You stated it as fact, but I never received news that capable GM's were...

Why does he have to a be a former GM? He can be an assistant GM. This franchise has hoped for too long and needed someone with a clear vision and experience in the front office.

Is that what the Kings needed though? Someone who needs to learn on the job?

That 13-10 is deceptive. They've had an easy schedule.

The Jazz are simply better than the Kings even with the starters out. It doesn't matter if the Kings had a week of rest and the Jazz were on a back-to-back, they would have beaten the Kings. Our star players wanted no part of Gobert and the Kings cannot win w/o Cousins.

You never know with the lottery
