The Coach and surrounding cast is what makes up the rest of the team by the way.

In my ideal world Malachi/Skal would be starting now.. they need to at least be in rotation
I presume you disagree. Where is the lie?

Yeah but Vivek wants playoffs at all costs.

Nice to see Malachi being agressive
I think we'll see that either next year or as soon as Ben gets traded, whichever comes first.

The playoffs can absolutely happen. Its silly to even suggest otherwise. There are only 7 teams with decent records in the West. Somebody bad is getting #8.
And we know this because the (insert team name here) have it in the bag?

As he should.
But the thing is, Malachi over Ben is actually a move FOR the playoffs.
And its possible Skal over WCS may be too, although 3we'd need to adjust rotations to keep Skal from having to play C.

My Labrador over Ben is a move for the playoffs

Regardless, there is no way to build around him. We can't entice, and he can't attract guys to join him. Zero assets to trade, and the lotto ain't working.
I'll take Randle and Ingram and our pick over this mess. I'm a Kings fan. I am sick of a horrible product.
Goodbye and good riddance to 2016.
But the Kings have won one more game than at the same point last season.

Playoffs!? Seriously....cmon. 36-46 swept by Warriors in four non competitive games. That's good?
I'll answer that. No.
I'll answer that. No.
This doesn't pass the logic test: if Randle and Ingram were worth DeMarcus Cousins... you know what, forget that part. If Randle and Ingram were good enough to be the cornerstones of a winning team, and Cousins isn't, why would the gd lakers trade them to us?
Yeah, that lineup left with a lead. It's not the problem

Cuz is wasted here. Can't get anyone to play with him. And it's one crummy team after another.
Get Rudy healthy? Good lotto pick? Been there.

The Kings have had six straight top 8 picks and failed to draft an impact player. And their only great pick in that time was IT at #60 and they let him (and Evans) walk for nothing. The only impact trade was for Gay.
Now they almost no trade assets beyond Cousins, only have Boogie, Kosta, Barnes, WCS, Temple & the rookies guaranteed beyond this year and they are poised to lose their 2017 and 2019 1st rounders.
Sneaking into the 8th seed would be great, but then what?
But it is. Theye often dig a hole and it was nice that they didn't, but then the second unit had no big body to guard Z-Bo, who promptly put up 10 points and were inept on the glass.
Yeah, the only choices in my mind are to keep trying to build around Cousins or to blow it up and take your chances with finding your star(s) in the draft.
Vivek took over the same offseason that Hinkie began "the process". I don't know about the rest of you but I'd take the Sixers future over the Kings right now.
That sounds so.....uplifting! Let's be the "bad" team that sneaks in, gets pounded 4-0 by the Warriors, then rinse and repeat next year!
