on the plus side, Monte is continuing the lineage of Princeton dudes who are good at drafting but leave the other GM stuff to other people/the owner.

This is just Rich Paul spreading gossip and the local media fools eat it like dog food

Holy crap why is the front office telling players the deals are done and don’t do it ****ing morons. Makes sense what somas said when the tmz guy asked him about the Derozan signing

Chris Mullin and like 6 other guys were vying for Vivek's trust and attention i believe. Weird times

There was the Joerger drama. Then Vlade cleaned house, sucked anyways, had Dumars try to replace him. And we managed to hired a real GM (we thought) after that.
Conspiracy time I guess but wonder if Damien's rant after Brown's firing that it was all Fox was just a ploy cooked up with Rich Paul to whet the fans' appetite for moving on only to have it blow up when the Christie lead Kings blew up.
I don't know. I am still ok with a deal that is a huge haul and fills both immediate needs and long term potential but will miss Fox who is absolutely my favorite player that we drafted.

No haul is happening that dudes list is one team long right now can’t even put two teams against each other for a bidding war
Dude is under contract for a year and a half he can say things but he can't stop a team from making the bet. That's the main reason you do this now not 6 months from now. It's the gamble we made with Webber and other teams have also made successfully.

Ya, I agree with this. I love Fox. He's a great dude. Loves the community has never wavered. He's an A- star. Best player since Weber to wear a Kings jersey. etc. etc.

I think it was Brandon Williams or maybe that was just the coup to get Joerger out
We've actually almost always had co-GMs with Vivek, the only revelation about Wes is that he may have had more power than anyone thought because they gave such a spotlight to Monte even to do public facing things he isn't exactly a star at.

That’s what happens when Wes is probably never getting an actual GM job by normal means anymore on account of him getting cancelled in Atlanta

We were never getting half the assets people on here were throwing out not only is he not a true franchise player his list will determine everything
Well the good news for all of us is it looks like your theories are about to be tested.

I just hope we don’t let Klutch push us around don’t send him to the Spurs send him to Miami
And if JJJ and Ware are in the deal I'll live with your Herro fantasy.
So, let me get this straight...
Another team called us with a trade offer for Fox, whose future here is kind of uncertain, and instead of hanging up immediately we listened and then subsequently placed a call to Fox's agent to discuss.
Media get bits and pieces of this information and immediately turn it into "STUPID KANGZ ARE SO DUMB AND THE ENTIRE FRONT OFFICE IS IN TATTERZ KANGZ KANGZ KANGZ"
Am I following this right?
Also, if we had just hung up instead of listening and the media caught wind then they would have said "STUPID KANGZ CAN'T BELIEVE THEY'RE GOING TO KEEP FOX THEY HAVE TO GET SOMETHING FOR HIM BUT THEY ARE TOO DUMBZ KANGZ KANGZ KANGZ", right?

Monte picked a guard in the lottery when we already had Fox and Monk. He darn well better have faith in him
