Edit: Skimmed posts and misread the one I quoted
Back to the topic. This was going to be a rebuild, the core team were losers, in the bottom of the league for 5 years or so...They had to gut the team, regardless of the fans that would be upset. I'm 100% OK with this. All of the moves had to be to get pros in the locker room. I know many don't like Grant, but he has said for the past couple of years that the Kings need professional basketball players, because they currently didn't have many (other than Isaiah). This quote proves it...
"It's a 100-percent change," Thomas said. "It just reminded me of college practice. Even though they don't have the whole team here, it's just the summer league team, everyone's dialed in. There's no talking on the side, just focus. Just focus on getting better and attention to detail, just doing the right things. So I can't wait for this season to start."

The FO has said from the get go that it would take a couple of years for them to remodel the team. I'm not going to freak out over the moves. I like a taller PG, who looks to pass, to get the ball to Demarcus down low. Landry played very well last year and I'm assuming that he will have the same role on the Kings. I also like that Thorton went to Las Vegas. Many people on here want to trade him, but he has a clutch gene. I don't like trading players who can win a game like Thorton can. Also, he is a great rebounder for a guard when he puts forth the effort. Last year he seemed like he was sleeping through the year, so hopefully a new philosophy from management/coaching gets him back on track.
Rebuild baby!
