GM being different is the key to any chance of a Boogie King's return being beneficial for both sides.
By all accounts, Boogie had a good relationship with Vivek and Vlade was the one that blindsided Boogie with the trade. If Boogie can give us 10-15 minutes off the bench and can give us more production than Holmes, I would seriously think about it if I were Monte.
Boogie in the enforcer "Charles Oakley" role would be pretty entertaining.

Mike Brown worked with Boogie on the Warriors right? As long as they have a good working relationship, I'd be happy to see a reunion with the big guy. He was great for us when he was still on the same page as the head coach. And maybe Bricklayer would resurface if Cousins returns and helps us get back to the playoffs? Speaking of, I wonder what kind of shape Tyreke Evans is in right now. Could bringing back all the former Kings for a feel-good exorcism of past failures be the real-life equivalent of crossing the streams in Ghostbusters?
Some fans. Some fans are definitely against the idea.
I'm not necessarily adverse to the idea given I think he's probably mellowed a bit (not competitively, but emotionally). If he can still produce, it might be worth a shot. I didn't follow him at all once he was traded so I don't know what his performances have been like most recently. Don't bring him back if he can't help. But if he can help it might be worth exploring the idea.
The other question (beyond production) is team personality and fit with the other players. Don't mess with the chemistry these guys seem to be building. Blow that up and it isn't worth it.

The difference between us making the Playoffs or not is the integrity of player confidence. The talent and coach are simply there. I've felt for a while that playing in Sac with its reputation and history has made past team's confidence fragile. This team and its players just have to know they are
much better than those past teams and are legitimately good, which they are. It's easy to see how hyped Fox would be on a winning Kings team and I believe that alone would make his game step up. If he's feeling himself, he's a flat out star. I think that winner's mind set would do similar things to some other players too. If the team doesn't let itself get rattled they'll have the season we've been waiting for.
