Welcome aboard!
I have been stuck in the personnel threads so much I forget my manners.
I experienced a nomadic period with NBA ball for a while as a kid and teen growing up. One major reason I knew I found my home with the Kings many years ago is the fanbase. One of a kind.
Again, welcome.

I can already tell I like this fanbase much more than the team I was rooting for the last bunch of years. I don't say that to be flattering either.
Truth be told it was the ZZAJ (backwards), I'd describe that fanbase as defensive and territorial to the point of delusion/paranoia, far beyond what I could've ever expected (obviously there were plenty of exceptions), loyal to a fault too, I thoroughly debunked just how good Trey Burke was (he had a step-back J and not much else) well before the 2013 draft, said his hype was in part because of the tourney run and National Player of the Year award and they, like Ty Corbin we're convinced he was the savior, I was convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that Dennis Schroder was better...
They keep watch over forums like these and mine quotes from game-threads after playing them "Quotes from _____ forums". Thats actually how I found this place (even though I'd have easily found it on my own accord).
They veered off the course that team should've been heading in IMO, in an attempt to appease Hayward and 'win-now'(despite having a bottom-5 payroll....), which to me is half-baked, I hated the George Hill trade and predicted that if an injury occurs it could be all for naught. They're about to get played like a fiddle, and will have assets poached, I'd much rather re-start with a team much earlier in its trajectory.

Glad to hear it!!
Can't wait to see this years squad, the athleticism and rebounding is gonna be really something.
Interestingly enough (or not), one of our members (Tetsujin) has been known to do that when he has time.

I've always found them enjoyable. I like hearing what the other side has to say.

Welcome aboard, I'm personally Kings fan since the age of 5, just because where I'm coming from, the national TV showed only 2 NBA games a week in the Monday and Saturday mornings and almost 85% of the time they showed the Sacramento Kings games.....
interesting at that time I was too little to understand what they are playing for and how long they are playing, I was just in love with the game... and I'm kinda sad that in my small town where I lived (around 4000 people are living here), there were no basketball practices or some coaches who would take some group of kids and learn the game that I loved, only here was athletics and volleyball and yes of course I was playing volleyball and earned some money because of that, but still that's one my regret that I was not able to train as a young hard working kid in basketball. #BallIsLife
But again welcome aboard.

I think our wagon currently consists of a frame and maybe one wheel.
Which is quite squeaky.

That's a sore subject around here...
