Poll: should the Kings match the offer for Bogi?
- Thread starter LPKingsFan
- Start date
I'm salty and I wish Bogi and the Hawks and his agent a ton of ill will right now, but I ultimately decided to hit the "no" vote.
Sure, if we can work out a killer deal for Buddy in the next 2 days, I'm onboard with bringing him back. But I'm not convinced that's likely. I'm not convinced that Buddy isn't the better 3 man pairing with Halliburton, and I'm not convinced that we can't get more for Buddy later in the year if he's not.
I said 17 million was my line, and this is 18 plus a poison pill. So see ya. I hope that you enjoy a mediocre season trapped behind other players and then you go on to lots of FIBA success, never enjoying an offseason of rest and break down midway through every NBA season from exhaustion and Atlanta rues the day they signed you.

Oh don't worry, they're stacking makes Vlades pale by comparison. Unless they win some serious games and even if they do there's going to be some frustration there. Depthing your way while signing players to near 20 million dollar deals in the process can end up pretty bad for the team doing it. Kings fans know the score on that one haha.
I don't have any ill will towards Bogdan. I'm more bothered by Buddy's complaining to the media.
But this was always going to be an issue when you had two good, but not great players who are both shooting guards and lack the ability to swing to either PG or SF.
One of them should have been traded a long time ago when their value was higher.
Losing Bogi for nothing (assuming that's what happens) is exactly the type of growing pain that a new front office that (hopefully) knows what it's doing has to endure due to poor decisions by the front office they replaced.

One of the benefits of Bogi possibly leaving is that hopefully I won't have to read anymore of this childish, ignorant trash.
"Kings fans are the best in the league", yeah right. Go pat yourselves on the back.
I have never seen a fanbase become more toxic in regards to a player so quickly, when he hasn't even done anything wrong.
Be better.
The Webber-Peja wars, the Cisco Garcia experience, Mikki Moore, people meting down when we took Reke instead of Rubio, literally every time Boogie did anything good or bad, Marvin Bagley’s very existence, need I go on?
just because it’s the first time it’s happened to a player you like doesn’t make it the first time it’s happened.

There will always be a scapegoat that people will trash on. Even good players. It’s with all teams, not just us. It just hurts more to some when their favorite player is the target. Happened with CWebb, peja, Martin, tyreke, IT and Dmc. Hell remember the whole fox doesn’t imprint garbage that was spewed? That wasn’t even that long ago.
Literally the only things that justify people bashing Marvin like they do is him not being Luka, breaking his foot, and his dad being annoying and yet we treat him like a guy who got all our sisters pregnant, emptied out her bank accounts, and then abandoned her at the altar never to be seen again. Lol
I've defended bad decisions by this team for a long time so allow me a few hours today to be po'd at a guy with an agent who has f'd over multiple clubs, a guy who never took an offseason off to get fully healthy for our club, and who appears to have screwed us over in multiple ways in the last week to eek out an extra few million to go to hell. Don't care.
You couldn't be more wrong, and you didn't even address my point, but that's not a surprise. Par for the course.
First of all, check out my avatar, clearly this wouldn't be the first time it's happened to "a player I like", if what you're saying was even relevant (it's not).
Secondly, I didn't say this is the first or only time fans have had it in for certain players. What I said was, and try to read this slowly, is "I have never seen a fanbase become more toxic in regards to a player so quickly, when he hasn't even done anything wrong."
Would you care to try again, and tell me how literally any of Webber, Peja, Cisco, Moore, Cuz, or anyone else you can think of went from a generally well-liked, inoffensive player, to a detestable, hated figure seemingly overnight?
I don't even particularly like Bogi by the way, so that's a strawman.

Let him walk. It sucks, but whatever.
AND maybe trade Buddy.... although he could still be pretty useful to a coach that uses him right.
We are in another rebuild folks, gonna see some “talent” walk out that door.
Honestly, I don’t think Bogi or Buddy are the type of player McNair wants on the team (if the guys he drafted are any indication). They are JR Smith types....streaky shooters who constantly make dumb or selfish plays. Replaceable.

Again I will say I constantly defend boneheaded moves by this org so your mouth breather remark is over the top @Dime Dropper I used to have more respect for you.
