Not tiresome to me. The team is in the midst of an overhaul, and everybody wants to demand accountability before one minute has been played on the floor. It is crazy. There are actually people who don't think Tyreke was "all that". Most of the outrage seems based on the premise that Tyreke was ALL THAT and letting him go was an epic botch. But I don't see how anybody in their right mind can deny Vivek the prerogative to build the kind of team he wants, even if it is smallball, nellieball, or whatever else. This front office didn't want Tyreke!!! That's it end of discussion. This front office prefers Monta to Tyreke!!! Hold your breath till you turn blue, boycott, cuss out PDA... have a ball. The team is being overhauled top to bottom, apparently sparing DMC. The mean spirited insults hurled at PDA are disappointing. Frankly, I don't believe the elite core of kingsfans.com know-it-alls have better NBA acumen than Vivek and Pete, no matter what your post count. I think reasonable people can disagree, but the tone of the attacks on PDA is not one of mutual respect and disagreement on approach or style. They are blistering attacks, calling the guy an idiot. I find it appalling.
Respect is earned, not freely granted. He had a clean slate from everybody here when he took the job. I agree the name calling thing is over the top, but people are upset. Some of it is tongue in cheek anyway. But I can't emphasize enough, that this is nothing new. We go through this every year. The only thing that's really different about this off-season so far is the pronounced presence of new people telling us to stop discussing basketball and start buying tickets instead like grateful fans. I was upset when we traded for Jimmer and Salmons. I was upset when we included a first round pick, protected or no, in the Hickson trade. I was upset when we overspent on Marcus Thornton and I was upset when we chose to pay Chuck Hayes instead of Samuel Dalembert. I would think that the results of these moves all going more less as I predicted would have earned me some credibility with my analysis. But notice I'm still here. Obviously I'm sticking around anyway, I just want to see the team win games. If all this group cares about is selling tickets than I guess it doesn't matter who they choose to sign or not sign. But if they want to actually win more games then they lose, it matters a lot. And that's what we're talking about here. It's not about next season, it's about the next 4+ seasons.
