Yea, if he doesn't pull off a game changing move, he's gone. Season ticket sales are going to plummet for next year. And he doesn't necessarily need to make a win-now move. Tank this year, get a top pick, and I think season tix sales will maintain. Keep the Vlade core and they'll be begging people to attend.
I forgot:
Fire (there rest of the) coaching staff and trainers.
This year was supposed to be the culture change year. Bringing back the same coach was probably the worst thing they could have done if that was the goal. It was doomed from there IMO. Trying to make Fox and off ball guard upset everyone. Hali differs him(taking away from Hali game), Fox still dosent like it(and his game has suffered). If that's what you were going to do why ask Fox bulk up?
Reminds me of my work where everyone does whatever, with little to no communication, and then act surprised when jobs don't come together.

While catching up via highlights to watch the second half live (who knows why, but at least Davion looked inspired), I watched one of Steph hitting a 3 in the 1st quarter with no Kings around him except Richaun Holmes running past him to make sure he stayed with Looney jogging to the basket because that's obviously the bigger threat... lmao, Kangz
Yes. OKC is a good example and those guys didn't even play the same position. All of them proved to be better versions of themselves with minutes and the ball in their hands.
I'm sure someone will find an exception that proves the rule, but good teams don't have players playing backup minutes who have an argument that they should be playing more minutes than the actual starter at the same position. That's poor team building. It's ok to draft the bpa, but then you need to use that bpa to get something you need if the team is not going to be able to put him in the best position to succeed.
Having talent is good. Having a situation where the talent can't blossom because of a log jam at the position is bad. This team can't afford to be getting 70% of what a player is capable of. The Kings need to maximize every asset.

You still lose but gained value for the future in some way? Because being a bench player matters and unless you are literal champ then paying one a major deal to stay makes no sense. Again, HISTORY. OKC is your guide. Unless the Kings are literally at that level and someone comes overpaying you're eventually betting against yourself.
Fox does drive up the pace though, anyone know the offensive/defensive rating during this time without fox or is there some good metric to measure the efficiency of the offense/defense ?
Because I mean Fox was also playing during huge blowouts we had - Toronto/Memphis/Cavs.
I guess what I'm saying is we sucked with him too.

That's true, but the argument always eventually spins to we suck because of them. Yes, in some ways they do. He's not a good shooter, he's been less than this year, and even though role has a lot to do with it at some point true superstars say "F it, get the F out the way or get run over" to their own teammates. That isn't this dude. Never was this dude. Probably will never be this dude. However, nobody else on this team is that dude either. Especially Haliburton. He's a glue guy, don't mess with that, he's really, really, really good at it and it fun as heck to watch.
Lose one arm or two? There's a difference. And realistically, I don't think this team is this bad without him if functioning under better conditions. And yes, sucking worse can be a good thing. IF they rebuild. Don't be trading Fox for other win now pieces unless they bring you way up to snuff with the modern game. Anything else is a big time gamble IMO. Just rebuild.
