literally been saying we need to start bruising Vivek’s ego by yelling he sucks at the games. It worked with Marc Cuban why wouldn’t it work on Vivek

yep and I heard Vivek got in the way of a Barnes trade the previous year so things haven’t changed.

did someone just leave the org and decide to spill some tea on the way out? Nothing particularly groundbreaking but I guess there’s always room for another “Vivek bad” piece
The only really new thing in there I hadn’t seen before is that Vivek called Sam Presti to talk about a trade that the Kings were considering, which is completely insane both as a competitive decision and in terms of undermining faith in the FO
Also something already reported but good to see again:

If anything, this article was mostly “Man, those Vlade years were chaotic!” With a small, mostly swept under-the-rug bit of “but it looks like Vivek’s letting Monte work thus far”
There’s really nothing that we didn’t already know/couldn’t have inferred from the past eight years.
Was going to say the same thing.
The way this play ends is exactly how I remember most CoJo related possessions turning out, so that is kind of legendary I suppose.serbiangoat

His 10-10 record without Fox that one seasons kind of speaks for itself.

Kinda like the grizzlies being 20-5 this season without Ja? Or does cherry picking games without all the details only work for fox?

They didn't just go 20-5, they were blowing teams out.Kinda like the grizzlies being 20-5 this season without Ja? Or does cherry picking games without all the details only work for fox?
Man. Just goes to show how much better Ja is than Fox. Like, his mere presence, without even stepping on the court, is the difference between .500 and .800.
Insane.

Yup. The Pels have lost less games with Zion playing this season than the Grizzlies have lost with Ja playing this season. Really makes you think...
You can clown this team but you can't clown that team.

Forever stand by this; give that color scheme a competent redesign and that uniform would rock.

This might be the most optimistic thing you’ve ever said. And it’s borderline delusional.

Simply switching the team name and the number would make a huge difference. Better number font. Traditional stripes down the sides instead of the weird one armhole circle thing and stripe on the opposite short leg. The entire design is why it’s a trainwreck not the colors!
Of course I’m also a huge sucker for any shiny style jerseys and I’m probably the only person on the planet that unironically loved the Mavs one-off silver jersey. Lol

Other teams were just mad the Kings exposed their fiat jersey's for real gold backed jersey's.

There, fixed it for you. I agree the rest is a mess, too, but ugh. That's just a horrible color scheme in execution.

The Kings haven't had a second rounder of note since IT (Petrie). And no undrafted free agent of note since probably Mo Evans (Petrie). McNair has followed this pattern of sucking as a creative talent acquirer by blowing three second round draft picks and finding zero undrafted gems during his tenure.
Here's one small market FO, the best in the league IMO, who actually thrives at finding talent:

If we want to hold the "drafted/undrafted" label, then sure, but at least he's taking swings at the 2nd round. Unlike Vlade who didn't even try. Also, Queta isn't a loss yet after just 1 season.
Also, I'd count Jones/Metu and Lyles as upside swing wins. Pieces he picked up for nothing that are showing out to be rotation players. All 3 a clear win. And assuming DDV is resigned, getting a starter/25-27 MPG core rotation player for nothing is another clear youth win he bought extremely low on.
