Tyrone Corbin Expectations

[Albatros]

I don't have any expectations of him, I feel for the guy honestly.

I have to give Ranadive credit, he truly is keeping the league bottom dweller traditions in tact with Sacramento basketball. I can't help but wish another owner bought us instead of this goon who just wants to push his daughter's music on us more than he wants to build watchable basketball.

Could you think the sky is falling a little more? Whether Vivek is right or wrong is yet to be seen. He did bring in Malone after all. He is looking for a coach to take this team to the next level. I am not sure who that is, it might be Corbin or it might not be. But people need to calm down and not have such an emotional connection with Malone as the coach of the kings. Hell, I liked Malone as a person too, but that doesn't mean he is the right guy for the job. Malone had horrible substitutions during games and would quite honestly would pull guys when they weren't playing the way he wanted them to. If I was a player it would be hard to feel comfortable in that situation. Finding yourself always feeling like you might be pulled. Maybe this is why Sessions went off last night, Maybe because that pressure was lifted maybe? Time will tell but the sky is hardly falling.

There isn't any dramatics. The sky isn't falling, it's already collapsed for ten years. That's the exact problem.

It PAINS me to say this, but is anyone else KIND OF rooting for a few straight losses for Corbin so the FO will react and put a more permanent coach in place? It just bothers me that Corbin is widely viewed as the placeholder, meaning he's just wasting the teams time, prime years for some of these guys. Of course i want this team to win, but if it takes some losses for the FO to realize they made a mistake that they need to fix, then i think it may be for the best...

The idea that we fired Malone so that we could give Corbin the rest of the season wreaks of an altereor motive. The basketball philosophy is being instilled by PDA/Mullins and whoever the coach is only serves as their puppet/scape goat.

I'm on the fence about it. I always want to see the Kings win and yet I feel strongly that a string of losses, or an extremely weak rest of the season, will expose PDA as unqualified.

Ya but what happens if Mullin is hired for the gm/coach spot.

Mullin doesn't necessarily want to coach. Given his influence I am a little surprised he didn't end up with the GM job the first time, but I certainly think he'd be Vivek's only choice this time, unless he can find another fired Golden State GM lying around somewhere. Then Mullin could hire Jackson, and gee, what a GS party it would be.

I mentioend this a year ago, people gave me hell, I told them to go f themselves, because its still true. These people are not Sacramento Kings. They are an alien invasive entity self-propogating and attempting to turn your franchise into a ****ing outpost or colony of the Golden State Warriors. As if the Warriors are an entity worthy of having an outpost.

I don't recall where I stood at the time, but it's pretty clear now we have the Silicon Valley dbag bro culture permeating the front office , and they care more about innovation and shiny things than winning. And they have zero understanding of this fan base, which is far more sophisticated than they think.

I agree with the suspicion that Mullin probably does not want to coach, but I don't think he wants to GM either, if he did he likley could have had the job ahead of PDA. Being the the "adviser" and BFF of the owner give him all the perks and no actual skin in the game. If his suggestion works he can take credit while any failure is laid on the guys doing the lifting. Case in point is Malone. Mullin very likely was an adviser in the choice to go with him and when the team did not look the way the owner wanted Malone took the hit and PDA got the heat for the call. Pretty sweet no risk gig if you ask me, so why give it up for a title that only adds risk?

As for the GS "infection" I hear you but honestly what do you expect a guy with very limited exposure to the NBA to do? VR went with what he knew and will do so until he knows more/better. I assume he actually sees GS AS successful and to be honest numbers support that view at the moment. I am in no way advocating that the Kings should or really even could emulate the Warriors, but I can see the temptation. I am hopeful when I hear the repeated references and tributes to the Kings team from the turn of the century. I do think that the current skill set we have could be molded into a more exciting offense that moves the ball through a dominant big.

Well, check out first quarters vs Memphis and Dallas, that was kinda exciting. Dropping to Bucks playing junkball kinda isn't.
