Bagley needs to start or Joerger gone?
- Thread starter PurpleHaze
- Start date
Perhaps important perspective.
What is known: J is current coach if the Kings and the front office has issued a statement in his support (not news). LeBron is also selling his car (possibly news by nature of being a new story).
What is likely: Some players want more minutes (no doubt a universal fact for all teams).
What is speculation: everything else about the Kings. ESPN secretly resents LeBron.

If you watch Joerger's interview you can tell something is going on. The thing is, internal struggles happen all the time in the work place. This could be no big deal. And it shouldn't be. Joerger has had past head scratching moments but I don't believe his current setup is one of them.

wow, too much good stuff on this board?
Is there anything else beside Yahoo article about this being a serious issue before getting pants on fire and going to what if games...
I heard meteor is coming in a few days, yeah probably not true... but let's assume it is so we can analyze it for over 5 pages. Good job Yahoo, mission accomplished.

I'd like to believe Vivek is smart enough not to repeat the absolute PR nightmare that was the Michael Malone situation after the team is playing its best basketball in a decade. At the end of the day, he wants to make money and this would be taking the opposite approach to that goal. Feel like a good portion of Kings fans who have hung on through 12 years of losing would finally hit their breaking point and stop following this team if we get rid of Joerger.
We'd be the absolute laughing stock of the NBA even moreso than we've ever been. "Oh look, there goes the #KANGZ, firing their only winning coach." What's sad is a lot of people were starting to take notice of us as a young and upcoming team that plays exciting basketball. That narrative was 100% changing.

I have to agree with KingsFanSince85 on this.
We all are just random names on a sports message board. It's not about it being your job to tell us your source. It's about you expecting us to believe you when we don't know you, we don't know your source and we are trying to get real confirmed information.
You may hear things because you're related to people in positions within other organizations but that doesn't mean their information is or isn't true. It's unsubstantiated.
People are unfairly blaming everybody right now. Carmichael Dave, whom I have known for nearly 20 years, has been extremely forthright in saying this story is not true and both Vlade and Vivek intend to get to the bottom of it. I'd take that to the bank. Dave has been openly critical of both Vlade and Vivek in the past over stuff like this so I tend to believe he would continue in that vein.
I guess what I'm trying to say is sometimes even if you know something you might as well not post it because people will challenge it and you won't be able to defend it with anything other than the comment you made above, which does nothing to clarify the issue. We have a long history of people who have said they have insider knowledge and it never seems to work out.

If there is fake news this is it.
Complete speculation with a unnamed "source"
Someone sees that Bagley is not starting after a few bad games from Bjelica and puts a storyline together.
Is everyone about to be fired in Orlando too because bamba is coming off the bench?
News flash Bagley isn't very good yet. To get better will take YEARS. He has the potential to catch and pass some of the other rookies, but right now and for this year he just flat doesn't have the skills or the developed body

His defense is far from horrid he got schooled by JJJ who prior to that schooled Giannis on a similar number of plays he got Bjelica by going through/around and over him, his defense has been fine for most the season and he's come up with more clutch blocks/steals/deflections than anyone else on the team. Most the hate towards Bjelly stems from the fact he's looked at as taking minutes away from Bagley who has not shown out partly due to Bjelly good play so far to be as good as the guys drafted around him. Overall Bjelly has been a huge positive and the Kings would not be close to 8-8 without him and would be closer to like 2-14/3-13.
Will be interesting to see if the Kings start Bagley against the ultra athletic Jeremi Grant against OKC it's a pretty good match up for him.

And so the kings begin to play decent basketball, yet still can't escape the disfunctional stereotype. Fire the coach! We have exceeded expectations early on in the year. Facts would suggest it would be VERY unwise to fire the coach. However we've seen this before with Malone. For the record: Don't fire the coach.
I haven't watched the last two games, so I didn't comment Bjelica. What I saw in highlites is that each time JJJ or Harden scored on him, Bjelica did have good position, he challenged the shot, but the shot went in. It is possible that he was horrible in plays I haven't watched. On the other hand, I saw in highlights WCS repeteadly not having hands up and challenging the shooter and also not going for rebounds.
What's with the over-reactionary 'ignore' comment? I simply asked a question and made an observation.
You volunteered 'hearing' information. It wasn't your 'job' to do that either, but you did. Did really expect someone not to follow up and ask where you're getting the info from which your statement is based?
Is it based upon hearsay articles such as Yahoo's piece or are you tacitly implying that you have some sort of direct contact to the FO that rest of us do not? It's an easy question to answer.
