you left out a part.
but you know, this would've been his reaction even if we got the first pick, haha.

At least we won't be as devastated next year when it happens again, or maybe we will...

And like I said in the other lottery thread 6th, the league can take their 4th pick and shove it up their you know whats!Well, now that my anger has simmered a bit, I acknowledge that everything happens for a reason. For whatever reason, we were supposed to get the #4 pick.

Crap! It still sucks.

Can we just change our name to the Pisces like in the movie 'The Fish that Saved Pittsburgh'? That would be cool, and at least we'd have Dr. J.

"And the fourth pick goes to.....The Sacramento Kings"
And that is our life.
I mean really, it just is. Anyone who thought we'd get anything higher was really just fooling themselves.

Funny VF thats pretty much what I was thinking when I heard the clips got the pick. I was sitting in my car wondering if someone had something against Blake Griffin.

year after year of just BS. It's starting to get unbearable at this point wether it's all a big conspiracy or not. I will never stop being a kings fan but boy is it getting hard. And w/out league pass I can't really watch any games. At least with griffin we would have had some nationally televised games and just overall media hype. This blows

Yeah...I'm still holding out for Petrie to pull a Danny Ainge this summer and make some genius trades...hopefully...but we probably only have a 25% chance of THAT happening too.

Yep, all are media coverage just went down the drain. =/
All our media coverage? As far as I know, Comcast is planning on broadcasting all the games. Yeah, it's tough for out-of-the-area fans, but that's just part of life. There's no guarantee we would have had more national coverage with Blake Griffin. He might be the media darling right now but he's no Lebron James or even Greg Oden.

I agree with you VF about having the media darling...but what did we do in 1998 with only the 7th pick?? Exactly...we picked Jason Williams, and became a damn exciting product, and TNT added like 8 games to their schedule with the Kings that werent on there to begin with. And the following seasons we were on national TV like every 3 games. So it CAN happen, but it depends on the product on the floor, and you dont just have to have the Kobe's or LaBron's, it CAN be done without...we did it before when no one else was paying attention to us.

Being from Jersey and going to school in Virginia, I have to admit that I have only seen two Kings games all season (Cavs/Kings and Rockets/Kings) and both were through streaming websites. It really is hard to maintain alleigance to a team from out of state when they are 1)not good and 2)never on TV as a result.
We all know who is to blame:

Proof that the laughable Lottery System is busted.
Solution: go back to reverse order of standings!! The idea of tanking for the lottery is ridiculous.
but reverse order of standings will definitely guarantee tanking. they just need to go to a system where the kings get a top 3 pick every year, that's the fairest solution.

I agreed..Kings top 3 pick every years is the fairest.
In all serious..this system to me is as fair as it gets. Our luck just sucks.
I disagree - the worst team should have a better chance of getting a number 1 pick than a number 4, and should get a better shot at #1 than 25%. Maybe 40-30-20-10 as far as percentages go (for the sake of arguement)? I mean, really, is it fair that a team that tries but sucks into the worst record in the league gets stuck with the #4 pick more often than #1?
