Bagley out 4-6 weeks

[tastyburger]

Crazy how big of an affect one game can have on morale...

 

[tyguy]

I have NEVER witnessed a fan base turn on a player for no reason at all. This is getting ridiculous.


I'm really ashamed to be a Kings fan right now reading this.

He's not good, and we blew the best opportunity the team has ever had to pick a superstar by selecting him. There is justification in being upset, especially with his dads entitlement and meddlesome rants.

 

[PHXSUNSFAN]

A Lebron-esque line in a W versus being one of the biggest contributors to last night's loss. Round 1 ain't going to Bagley. Even if he does become a winning player, it's still looking like we picked the weakest link in last year's Top 5.

How? You know Jaren Jackson Jr went 4th right?

100% of the season has been disappointing.

My morale was crushed on June 21's 2018 and now we get to suffer for 15 or so more years as a result.

If one player matters that much then you’re on the wrong fan forum

One player matters in basketball more than any other sport. You also don't get to dictate where people post or what constitutes a true fan.

I'd argue golf and tennis may have the edge..

Fine, *team sport, but were splitting hairs here for no reason. Out of all the major team sports is anybody going to come up with an argument that one single person matters more in a different sport than basktball?

Because it somehow gives the Doncic boys this feeling of validation . It would be a lot more funny if it wasn’t so pathetic

 

[tastyburger]

You're all acting like bagley is a russian asset or something. He showed plenty of promise last season.

He was just as disappointing as id imagined.

To be fair, you know those "Wish we would have..." Doncic guys are gonna come out of the woodwork soon as they see blood.

 

[Tetsujin]

Turn down the heat! Spicy in here.

Kings fans are the "OMG like why does this keep happening to me?" dramatic high school cheerleader of the sports world.

 

[Tetsujin]

To be fair, you know those "Wish we would have..." Doncic guys are gonna come out of the woodwork soon as they see blood.

But in this case they're making the argument based solely on the fact Bagley... got injured?

Bagley missed 20 games last season (most of them coming after he hurt his knee getting blindsided by a dirty moving screen in the Bucks game) and Luka missed 10 games so it's not like either of them is Greg Oden or Karl Malone.

 

[DesertFox]

Injuries are always bad news, and this of course hurts the team long term and short term for development and chemistry.
But in the short term, I don't think this will hurt the team in the win/loss column. The team will weather this fine.

 

[Tetsujin]

I am a Trae Young guy.. But yah.. Nah I like Fox, he grew on me so I wouldn't have traded him for Trae and another pick. But both Trae and Doncic are doing REALLY well.

The thing is Bagley also was doing really well.

The Team USA guys were RAVING about him. He averaged 21.2/11 per 36 as a rookie despite Dave Joerger seemingly forgetting he existed for stretches of the season. People talk about him like he's the second coming of Derrick Williams but Marvin still has shown as much potential as any other guy in the draft.

.... besides Luka, who has already proven outerworldly potential.

It’s okay to like Bagley (because I do) and also admit being dead wrong (because the Kings were)

Has he though? Luka is good enough without people resorting to half-baked hyperbole cliches. "Outerworldly potential" means, what, he starts shooting lasers out of his eyes, can cure diseases with a single glance?

 

[Kingster]

I'm glad I have you to tell me what i've watched. Some layups and 1 or two successful right hand jump hooks doesn't show a strong off hand. He only shot .507 on layups, so he struggles with anything efficiency wise that isn't a dunk. If he had a stronger off hand he would be a much stronger finisher on layups.

Now you're changing the goal post. Make up your mind. Do you want to argue that the 19 yo did not have a strong off-hand last year or that he did not use his off-hand. I saw every game last year and he did use his off hand, which others (like you) said he did not have.

 

[KingsFanatic]

It's not like we had much of a chance to make the playoffs anyway with most teams in the West being much better than us, but now we DEFINITELY won't make the playoffs.

 

[L'Optimisme]

Smh lol I hate basketball we’re cursed we picked the wrong guy.

People need to stop this obsession with victim mentality.

"We're cursed"
"We'll never be good"

Loserthink at it's finest. Haven't people had a coach that taught you mindset??

There was no goal post movement. I said he had a weak off hand and I demonstrated it with data.

A major contributing factor to his poor layup finishing is the fact that he is so left hand dominate and won’t use his right hand when appropriate.

 

[SLAB]

It’s means absurd potential from a basketball perspective, and you’d have to be wearing blinders if you don’t admit he has and has shown such.

When did KingsFans.com change to I hate“insert random Kings player”.com? All I see is Bagley sucks, bogie sucks, why did we sign Dedmon? He sucks. Bjelica getting minutes? He sucks. Ariza is playing too much, he sucks. Am I forgetting anyone?

It’s been 15 years. I’ll change my tune when I’m finally proven wrong.

Willie’s gone, the unifying force has been removed and cast the domain into chaos.

Meanwhile, Ayton is facing a 25 game suspension for taking a diuretic.
