    Bizarro Wide World of Sports Lin Championship

    I didn't read it that way. I saw him venting frustration with the Kings for not prioritizing losing in the short term for long term gains. Like Philly did. Not that we, regardless of who the gm is, are going to try to emulate exactly what the 6ers did. That would of course be ridiculous, because...

    Bizarro Wide World of Sports Lin Championship

    This isn't year two. Hinkie tenure starts when he's hired but Vlade's started with the Cousins trade? You're the one call people out for unfair comparisons? So let's parse this logic. Vlade come here to win with Cousins. Fails, and in the process of doing so cripples the organization by trading...

    Bizarro Wide World of Sports Lin Championship

    I don't watch the team much anymore because of the issues I'm voicing. Watched pretty much every game for a decade of losing, but what I see as poor management decisions and ownership has worn me down. A change in tactics to something like Philly is doing would actually get me excited. You hate...

    Bizarro Wide World of Sports Lin Championship

    Setting you're patronizing tone aside I never wrote anything against a system that discourages tanking. It's the tactics Silver used that I take issue with. Systems and institutions have rules that govern them, rules that the NBA and ownership had plenty of opportunities to amend. they're not...

    Bizarro Wide World of Sports Lin Championship

    Which is the point of intimidation tactics. The idea of the league office getting involved in a franchise's front office for using you're poorly designed system is immoral or also known as a load of crap. But yeah, you're correct, not ever ownership group is looking to butt heads with Silver and...

    Bizarro Wide World of Sports Lin Championship

    Right because he shamelessly exploited a flaw the NBA was well aware of but couldn't address. Owners repeatedly rejected, until recently, lottery reform. Hinkie unapologetic and with self acclaim pointed this out and sold a fan base on what turned out to be a great idea. And he got blacked...

    Bizarro Wide World of Sports Lin Championship

    It's a undeniable different approach to the first year of a rebuild then. That's the point I took, rather then him "whining". Hinkie's whole design was to get the best assets available to acquire a top 10 player, which for a bad franchise is top a pick. He didn't go out at any point and use cap...

    Kings waiving papa morphed into Vlade sucks

    That wasn't the trade. You could have Valentine, Murray, Bogdan and Skal. It's not one or the other.

    Hill To Cavaliers per Woj

    Doesn't it concern you that Vlade missed so badly though? Regardless of the draft if you look at a prospect like Papa, who isn't athletically capable of guarding the perimeter and doesn't have any of the skills needed to be a post player and think that's my guy then you're in trouble. As a...

    Kings waiving papa morphed into Vlade sucks

    He spent a lottery pick on a guy who wasn't close to a consensus first round pick, which is fine if it works, if on the other hand you cut him two seasons later then it's indefensible. And Vlade is racking up the indefensible at this point. He shouldn't get all the blame. Vivek as we know from...

    Hill To Cavaliers per Woj

    It took a tidal wave of incompetence but at least Kings fans are finally turning on the front office. This organizations asset management is pathetic and I just don't care anymore. If Vivek hires a real GM, the type with experience that won't capitulate to him, then I could get excited about...

    [Game] Kings v. Jazz - Wednesday, Jan. 17 - 7 PT

    Last years draft had talent through out the first round. Vlade passed on a lot of talent at the 10th or at the 15th & 20th pick to draft Jackson and Giles. Doesn't look like a smart decision so far.

    [Game] Kings @ Sixers - Tuesday, Dec. 19 - 4 PT

    This is a pick and roll league now, and of course we are developing our top pick in this garbage post up offense. Zach getting touches gets this team nowhere.
