Seems strange they didn't want to keep him. I mean, it's not like he came to Sacramento to take the top job.

This is interesting. Let's tame the guy who's had actual success in the league. Maybe we should be listening to him. He didn't say the team should trade Cousins, he said that no player is untradeable. If this team isn't at least in listen mode, then they aren't diligent at their jobs. I'm...

And talked him up from the minute he got here, gave him a max extension and now he's an All-Star. Whether you like PDA/Mullin or not (and I assume most of us don't), their philosophy of an uptempo team didn't work with Michael Malone as the head coach. It certainly works better with George...

Yes, I can see you're extremely confident in your opinion. And you've changed my statement. Guys like LeBron and Durant had a hand in changing the dysfunction of their franchises. So perhaps the five years in is a red herring. But we'll keep trying to crack the 30 win mark. First we blamed the...

I'm with you on this - we've transitioned a lot of the executive staff in the front office, but I'm not sure we have much more practical NBA experience leading us. And the one guy you think they'd lean on for actual basketball knowledge (Karl) is already being transitioned to pariah status...

Give me a break. I don't even listen to that redheaded knuckledragger. I'm just beyond making excuses for DeMarcus. Plenty of quality players have had difficult cards dealt to them to start their careers. Five seasons in, DeMarcus hasn't shown the ability to rise above the management/ownership...

In the Lakers' case, I think it's a different animal now. This is the same crew that thought building around Dwight Howard was a good idea.

Sorry, I can't buy the idea of DeMarcus as a victim here. This franchise is dysfunctional certainly - it's also bent over backwards to let Boogie know he's the center of their universe. Plus, the player has been one of his own worst enemies over the five seasons he's here. Again, he's the common...

I think the 64 year old coach is behaving the way he did at 54 or 44. To imply that HE needs to change, and not the player who hasn't led his team to success in his five seasons (and let's not forget, was the best player on a team that quit last season) - well, it's nonsensical to me. DeMarcus...

At this point the onus is on Cousins IMO. He's the common denominator of a dysfunctional franchise that's gone through multiple owners, coaches and countless numbers of players during his five seasons here. Well, him and JT. George Karl is George Karl. He's not Paul Westphal or Kenny Natt or...

Doubt it, sounds like they are pretty close.

Yeah, JRoss-Deuce-Mo was about as good as Sacramento sports talk radio gets these days. Just a really nice mix of personalities. Nate is a little too hot-takeish for my taste.

Yep, it's not just relegated to the noon show, although in my experience they are pretty good about discussing the Kings. The morning show is baffling, since CD is such a huge Kings guy. Yesterday morning, I commuted to work from 7:30 to about 8:15am. Not one second of dicussion of the Portland...

Of course, thus my concluding sentence: During Corbin's tenure, they are all over the place as far as pace and offensive output from game to game. The one somewhat consistent measure has been bad defense though. And to avoid cherry picking a few games, here are the stats for the team pre and...

Re: Leslie Moore - she's doing her job, but she should probably sit out a few battles. Re: Pace - last night was the team's 5th fastest pace under Corbin, and the 2nd worst performance by Offensive Rating. Against the Clips, it was the team's 5th slowest pace under Corbin, but the 2nd best...
