CD = BS There is no source for his opinion or reporting or whatever the heck it is. He's a slippery one.

I've said for a while now that when the pain from cascading losses gets high enough that the Kings' organization will break from their current path to nowhere. However, we have seen no evidence whatsoever that that is the case. We have to see major trades for picks and young players, as well Kings' youngins being played with substantial minutes with some semblance of a developmental plan before we can begin to believe in a major course shift. I would also expect that the actions would be accompanied by a rhetorical change from Perry - "We are embarking on a new path", etc., etc.

Well if Dave is just trying to force the issue by putting the idea out there and seeing how much support it gets with the fanbase then kudos to him for using his platform to do something about this train wreck! We're already starting to get hypothetical Sabonis trade deals on social media. Then it will become a talking point on the NBA blogs, podcasts, and talking heads shows. Maybe some other teams see the smoke and call up Scott Perry to see if this is legit and suddenly we've got a potential pathway out of this misery...

So Kudos to @carmichaeldave and keep it coming I say!

Is that what CD is doing though? His slippery language leaves it open to the various interpretations. Why not just be straightforward rather BS his way to a click-bait story?

There is truth to that, in order for a sell off and rebuild to begin you absolutely have to have the paying fans on board. Dave has power on that front, and when I said "he's really just a fan with a loud voice" that cuts both ways. I think the paying fans are most likely to listen to a voice like Dave than an ESPN radio guy who may only have an interest in the Kings because it pays the bills. I think Deuce and Mo are maybe the only other local media pairing that have that much respect from the common fan (and Gary Gerould but he's special).

I like Deuce and Mo. Both are straightforward in speech, knowledgeable, and seem to be arduous Kings' fans. Lately, I've been watching Kings' games more to see what they have to say than the games themselves.
 
Speaking of "talking heads," Allen Stiles is cracking me up on the radio right now. He wants to Kings' to sit the vets and play the youngins tonight so if they get blown out he doesn't have to hear the fury of the fans.😄 Poor guy. What happens if the Kings lose the next three or four games? It's probably time to hide under the desk, or talk about the 9rs or the Giants and make believe the Kings don't exist.

They can be a little obnoxious at times but I like them too. They are passionate and knowledgeable and even though probably everyone that enters the game has some desire to be front and center, they really do come off as fans first unlike most of the other media that covers the team.

Unlike some others, I find them to be authentic.

The thing is that despite how bad the Kings have been, it feels like it’s going to be nearly impossible to catch the Nets and Pacers this season in a tank race.

That doesn't matter all that much. Being in the 4-8 range is often just as good because of the lottery and picking 4-8 might end up being just as good as 1-3 this year anyway, depending on who is up there at the top and what they're looking for. I know the top 3 prospects are being hyped like they're a tier above the rest but Caleb Wilson is the guy who has impressed me the most so far and I'm also high on Jayden Quaintance and Dash Daniels.

Mike Brown jr will make it a big four and if Wilson flashes a jumpshot it’ll be five

Yeah, it's unlikely the Kings will be able to out-suck Brooklyn, Washington, and Indiana this season. But they could very well out-suck the likes of Charlotte, Boston, Memphis, and Dallas, which means they'd probably still finish with a bottom-5 record. And that's a good spot to be in heading into a draft that might have 3-5 franchise-level guys on the board in the early going.
