Westbrook Signs with the Kings

Good Move or Bad Move?

I've been saying it and I will continue to say it - with all of his warts and things that may very well drive us crazy this season, Westbrook's competitive fire is something I wanted from Fox and this entire organization for over 20 years now. One thing about Westbrook is that he will bring it 24/7, in game, in the locker room, in practice or in a scrimmage, it doesn't matter to him. All he knows is reckless abandon and the recklessness may lose you a game or two in clutch situations at times, but I will live with that over lackadaisical effort and getting blown off of our own home floor because "they didn't make me angry" enough or whatever the excuse was for our former star and the rest of the guys surrounding him outside of a select few.

Imagine a lineup of Westbrook, Monk, Lavine, DDR and Sabonis.

Put Keegan in place of DDR and I can't picture a ton of people grabbing rebounds over him, Westbrook and Sabonis in that lineup. Losing Keegan's rebounding for 12-15 games or more was going to really hurt in a way many people may not have realized so I'm happy to have Westbrook for that reason and quite a few more to be honest with you.

I don't even know what to think at this point.
Well, I do, but this is a family-friendly board.

If we're stealth tanking, we're spray painting the tank in highly-visible #ccff00. If MGMT believes that they are truly building a winning team...oy.
The reality of the situation is that we're probably looking to put butts in the seats AND gloriously lose. The fallout from this process, however, may be too much, and we could lose some players that we need for the next iteration. Oddly enough, I believe that somewhere within all of this rubble is actually a competitive team - but we seem to make moves in spite of that fact. This is one such move.

You could be right but he helped Denver and the Clippers out in a big way these last two seasons and their fans will attest to that for the most part. It can absolutely be a mess out here in sac and that would surprise no one, but, idk - maybe it can work for whatever our standards may be. Somewhere between a 7th and 9th seed? Eh, we shall see.
