Are you serious, there are about 3-5 teams in the east that the kings would probably go at least 500 against if we were in that conferance. And please tell me that you honestly believe that the Kings are worse than the Nets. The Kings are a young team with bench players as starters this year but they have something to build upon the next two years. Yes there defense is bad, yes they don't have a starting quality center, and yes they are very young and inconsistant team. But they are still competitive most nights and have a core to build on. Clippers, nets, nicks, warriors, and a few others are only 2-3 games or one losing or winning streak from being better or worse than the kings. Anyone who judges this team by wins or losses this year doesn't realize the difference between rebuilding and mediocrity is. Sacramento is rebuilding this year and in two to three years will be challenging for a title. Teams like clippers, Warriors,etc. who have had tallent for years and continue to finish below 500 are mediocer at best. I go back to what Paul Westpaul said at the beginning of the season." This year is a 82 game exhibition to see what we have to start toward the playoffs in 2010-11" We have a core to build on, we have a superstar in the making, we will have another lottery pick (hopefully), we added carl landry (youth) and we have already exceeded our win total from last year(17). We are not the worst team in the league!
