When the Kings were going to be the Sonics I resigned myself to becoming a Warriors fan

Remember when the Kings signed a bunch of vets to short contracts to make a playoff run in their new arena, were in the ballpark of pulling it off, then they blew it all up?

By the way the Kings could have Boogie and Isaiah Thomas but instead they have Langston Galloway, Buddy Hield and Tyreke Evans instead because this FO is loving retarded.

The 1st round pick is even protected.

"We have to take this deal and rebuild the team! We could get a great player in this draft!"

"But we will only do the deal so that if everything breaks amazingly right, we still keep the pick."

"............deal"

The Kings could get the first and second overall picks in the lottery and literally get neither pick.

Amazing just amazing.

Sac fans, is there ANY sense of "relief" or anything? Like, yes, this is a truly terrible trade but finally, FINALLY, the Kings can attempt to move on and get out of the 9-11th seed morass.

The Kings gave away all their picks then decided to tank and got what will be a mid-first round pick and an old rookie for one of the most dominant forces in the NBA.

There's nothing to be had here.

Gotta tank but you can't tank all the way or else the Sixers get the pick. Gotta tank halfway.

Imagine sticking with the Kings all these years

I didn't actively follow the team in the later Maloof years because it became clear they weren't interested in fielding a good product.

I came back after they sold and now Vivek is actively trying to field a good product that is somehow just the same as the Maloofs doing nothing.

What do you consider 'franchise history' because Boogie is awesome and all but Oscar Robertson played for them when they were in Cincinnati.

He also hasn't reached his peak yet.

Also I consider the Royals and Kings two different franchises, tbh. It's easy to delineate when they've moved like 5 times and have no franchise history to speak of after winning a title over 60 years ago.

Just FYI, Vlade isn't 100% incompetent just 99%. The "better offer" was pulled before they could decide on it, according to him.

Why the gently caress do you even bring it up though

You're right an organization run by Vivek would have never developed a talent like Whiteside.

Because the culture of a team starts at the top. See: Seattle Mariners. Players get better when they leave

Also because Hassan Whiteside was in loving China when Vivek bought the team, after having washed out of the league for being a no-effort moron

Oh man what a surprise a goon from Seattle has no idea how Public Finance works in Sacramento, California, which is almost assuredly a place he has never visited and knows nothing about other than the fact that the Kings play there and maybe that it's the Capital of California.

I am shocked.

He lives in Daly City though, which is a suburb of San Francisco. I use the term suburb lightly because it's like 3 malls, 25 business parks and a few gas stations.

I'm just saving him the effort of responding to every single post.

It's okay to assume where he lives though. He assumes I live in SF :shrug:

"If you don't like that, you don't like NBA/Kings basketball" worked A LOT better when they were the best passing team in the league. A Willie Cauley-Stein put back dunk doesn't have quite the same flash behind it as some of the insane passing clinics that led to sweet scores from peak Kings.

Now it's just kinda sad.
