I get the point of this thread, I think. In the absence of enemies we'll create one so we have something to rally against. Rarely do any of them deserve the level of vitriol aimed their way. Generally their worst crime has been being below average NBA players associated with hype that was not of their own making. If you survey most of the names mentioned though (and I think Adelman and Peja were only brought up to emphasize how unfair this treatment can be when we're not even satisfied with a winning team anymore) -- surely you have to admit that being put in a position where we needed to rely on these players as key pieces was in itself the problem. No exaggeration, there was actually a point in time when signing John Salmons was considered a free agency coup in Sacramento. Things got real bad in the waning days of the Maloofery Era.
But why stop there? Let's also look at the players and coaches that the Kings themselves have either officially or unofficially, through their media connections ,decided to scapegoat at some point or another: Chris Webber, Reggie Theus, Tyreke Evans, Mike Malone, Boogie, George Hill, Dave Joerger, Dewayne Dedmon, possibly Buddy Hield. I'm sure I'm missing a few. Do we have a fanbase which is atypically prone to singling out the weakest link and wailing on them (figuratively) or have we been conditioned for two decades to seek out scapegoats because that's exactly the message the team has been selling us over and over again to paper over their managerial incompetence?
