I think Malone is trying but was not given the tools to win. Winning comes next year, I suspect. We needed a lot of house cleaning but that meant we don't have much of a bench.

Watching DMC's interview last night, though not unlike many of his interviews, brought home the point to me that a big reason Kings are in win-now mode is because of Cousins. I don't think Cousins has many more of the "let's just hope for a good draft pick" seasons in him. Of course he would like more help, but in his fourth season, he's seen 3 other seasons of high draft picks that haven't done anything to turn the team around.
He's supposed to be the man, right?

It absolutely would not. What about that 19 million dollar salary slot? They could trade his expiring and end up with some promising young talent or decent vets to fill out the roster. Lots of options.
Rudy needs to sell himself to us, not the other way around. Let's see some winner thinking aroung here. Times have changed!

The problem is the hole we are in is already borderline impossible to get out of. Sure, they could win MORE now, but not enough to make the playoffs or lose the draft pick. It's just not likely. It's an unfortunate realitity of being 14th out of 15 team conference. What I think everyone wants to see is a winning style of play develop. Do that, the winning takes care of itself.
What we can't have is a whole team showing up playing like they're hungover and disintereted like yesterday. Cousins excluded, cause he was a beast.

He is young and has upside but this is ridiculous. He doesn't deserve to start. Unreal how he is given this much opportunity when a guy like jimmer would be sent into exile with similar play.

Malone is trying to win now. The players are trying to win now. I think Pete D and Vivek are thinking 2 years down the road, which they should be. It's Malone's job to make due with what he has. So in essence, I don't believe this is a win now situation for the organization.
This is hard on the fans because we finally see some talent on the roster. There is light at the end of the tunnel and we want to get there now. Not gonna happen. We're not making the playoffs this year no matter what trades we make by February, and Pete D is fine with that. In fact, we were warned at the beginning of the season that record didn't matter. We are collecting assets at this point in time.
Whooop, there it is.

it's really quite simple:
jimmer fredette - selected 10th overall in the 2011 draft by the milwaukee bucks, who flipped fredette in a draft day trade to the maloof-owned sacramento kings
ben mclemore - selected 7th overall in the 2013 draft by the ranadive-owned sacramento kings
jimmer fans need to get over it. he's not a part of the new regime's long-term plans. if fredette's lucky, he'll get a shot on another team next season. if he's quite lucky, he'll get consistent minutes on another team next season. if kings fans who are weary of the last gasp of jimmermania in sacramento are lucky, fredette will be packaged in a trade before the deadline, and jimmer fans can proceed to jump bandwagons...
