A father has three sons. He gives each son a million dollars. One son takes the money and invests the money and subsequently loses it all. The next son takes the money and puts into a savings account, earning 0.01% each year. The last son takes the money and makes a million. Ten years later when the father is retiring, who does he name as his successor? Which one would be last in succession? And which one is Cold Feet Monte?

And if you'd go back a bit on threads over the last few weeks, I've been of the position that the Kings should take the best talent, even if that talent is Davian Mitchell though my preference would've been Bouknight. That's not revolutionary. That's backed by data. Drafting for fit brings the average talent of the team down long term.
1. ATL offered a first for Bogi. I believe the catch was the Kings needed to take back Snell. Gave monte a day to pull the trigger. He didn't. Processing time. Bogi walks.
2. LAL trade falls through.
3. Now Thompson trade. which may end up being in the Kings favor, so we'll see.
The pattern of "Announced" trades that fall through are mind boggling for a GM. He's had three if counting the Milwaukee fiasco (that one is not on him). And maybe 4 if the Thompson thing collapses.
Analysis paralysis.

Ok Bogi should of been moved at the deadline before if he wasn't going to be retained but Vlade was the GM. I don't think we all know the timing details with the Bucks trade around the same time.
The Lakers simply took the deal they liked more.
Yeah I agree about TT, I would of rather signed a corpse on the minimum than trading for him.

Sure, when he does something worth critiquing. I think the TT trade, if it actually goes through, is bad, but understood if we thought Holmes wasn't coming back. Even though I do like Mitchell as a prospect now, I'm still extremely hesitant he passed on really quality wing talent or Sengun for a dude that likely doesn't start.
This critique isn't even mean spirited. Kings hired a dude, who is heavy into analytics. The main takeaway is dude needs to up his processing time or go a little further out on the risk curve. In undergrad, I used to play chess with a math major--dude is an actuary now. Anyway, he would take 30 to 45 minutes between moves. I would go play videogames in between his moves. Our win/loss was like 55/45 me. And I suck at chess. Action > Pondering.
As for Mitchell, I've always liked him, so not too bummed about it even though I would've preferred Bouknight.

Sometimes lack of action is better than.......bloated multi year contracts.....for example.....
I don't see a
Randolph
Kosta
Hill
Thornton
Jarl Thompandry
Cojo
ETC
All I can see so far is he drafted well last year. Has been reluctant to long term commit to anything besides Fox. Considering our past I'm not mad yet...
