Agreed. Some people just don't know about this thing called patience in a rebuild. The problem is that it took so long for the darn FO to commit to a rebuild, and that's why it seems like it's taking so long for us to get good again. People look at the current team we have, look at the coaches, see we're not winning and think "hey we haven't been to the playoffs in 4 years, it must be because PW is stupid and Tyreke doesn't know how to pass".
Sure we have problems, and not everything is developing as we had hoped. Who wouldn't want 2nd year Casspi and 3rd year Donte to suddenly be starter-quality for our championship run in the future? Who wouldn't want Cousins to come in and average 20 points and 10 rebounds? But for goodness sake man, it's basically our 2nd year with Tyreke and 1st year with a real core that we hope to build around. We need to give the team time (certainly more than 6 games) before starting to discuss coaching changes or personnel moves. Instead of being so negative, why not give the team time yeah?
What's even more confusing about the reactions of others is that this is the norm in pro sports. This is the cycle. Whether or not you're a new Kings fan, or new basketball fan, if you're a sports fan in general, this is how rebuilds happen. It can be a fustrating, roller coaster of a ride, but a ride you have to go through. I'm just truly surprised how many don't realize that. The examples that the path we are taking is the path many before us have taken are endless.
