Well, you are absolutely 100% correct. I have no rights to tell you how to be a fan.
I was merely sad to see a side hobby ruining someone's free time, most of us are hard workers day in and day out, all I want after that is some simple entertainment as a spark. I just meant, if this side hobby is so draining on you, you can always turn it off for a while.
But hey, you go on and be you.

I would love this deal if this was a team that could actually get a good free agent and were planning to pair him with another FA signing next year when their expiring deals are off the books, or if they were able to make a deadline deal to ship out their expiring vets for a quality player. But I don't have the faith in this team to do those things, so I doubt this will pan out. I'm getting George Hill vibes about this.
Grant is right: you need depth and versatility on your team to be good. But guess what: good teams don't pay their bench depth 20 million a year. Good GMs don't make this deal if they were running the Kings. Good teams don't make these kinds of bad decisions. Bad ones do.

It tells me that CHI is trying to save face from the Jimmy Butler trade.
Even then, it's not about whether LaVine a good player. He certainly has strengths. It's about fit and common sense.
Jusuf Nurkic is a good young player too. But with all the front court players the Kings have now, would it make sense to offer him 80M? NO!
Signing LaVine is redundant when the Kings have Buddy Hield and Bogdan Bogdanović, among others than can play the 2. Signing LaVine at the expense of either of those players is counterproductive to the direction the team has been going.

I understand your frustration, truly I do, but I was trying to just lighten the mood a bit. I honestly lumped you with others in regards to some of my comments, and for that I do apologize. You're right. You and I do align in a lot of ways.
One part, however, was true. Vlade made the Bagley can play the 3 comment, but it was taken out of context and he did later walk it back and explain more fully what he meant.

The Chicago Tribune is reporting the Bulls "proactively negotiated with LaVine in good faith with a strong, multiyear offer that sources said fell in the $18 million range annually."
But that's kind of who you are, isn't it? At least your persona here. I think you try and be optimistic but you're a pessimist by nature and things like this just reinforce the pessimist part. I mean no disrrespect at all, by the way. You're as mercurial in your fandom as I am in mine, just in different ways, so I do empathize with your feelings.
Which I believe is unwarranted too. So if we can all agree to not go down either of those roads, I'm on board.
I apologize for and withdraw the comment. As I said, nothing personal towards any member of this site. I'm just very upset with the continued direction of the Kings franchise and my ire rests with Vlade, Vivek and the rest of the front office. And I and those that share my view have every right to feel that way. Those of you on the other end of the spectrum have the right to feel the way you do too, which is why I'm not telling anyone to visit a different thread....
