All -
I know that Napear has been ranted against for years in this forum and others I frequent (Sactownroyalty.com, et al) but for me I had always marginally enjoyed his show as background noise whenever I've had to drive places at that time in the afternoon. His antics and the way he treats his calls irritates me at times but I've put up with it because heck, I enjoy kings talk.
For the first time yesterday, I literally got sick to my stomach and had to turn him off as he vociferously defended the completely indefensible Thomas Robinson trade. I won't go into the reasons as to why the trade is just completely terrible since they're being debated elsewhere but I just couldn't listen to someone with such an ignorant position.
I'm thinking he must know his time in SAcramento is coming to an end and the only way he gets a job elsewhere (whether it be the team here in Sac if it stays, or up to Seattle) is by defending an otherwise indefensible ownership group. Maybe he thinks if he trashes ownership/management, he would have a hard time getting a job elsewhere? I can't see any other reason for even trying to defend the trade.
Grant: "I don't care about three years from now, I care about now. This is a better basketball team with Patrick Patterson." So we go from ending the season with 28 wins instead of 27 wins? And if we keep him, he's much more expensive than Thomas Robinson would be for the two years following that?
It's all terrible. The Maloof family is terrible, Grant is terrible for defending the indefensible, and the NBA is borderline terrible for allowing situations like these to occur.
