    Rebuild...ahead of schedule?

    I'm excited and optimistic as well. Its a lot of fun watching the acquisition of so many young faces. But ahead of schedule? Haven't we been working on this rebuild for like 12 years. Or is this rebuild number 10? Lol

    The art and agony of the tank (split from game thread)

    Agreed - especially on the incentive to lose point. If you are a player or coach that is caught betting on NBA games, I am pretty sure you will no longer be a part of the league. Even if you are not betting on your own games. Why? Because it messes with the integrity of the game. I do not...

    The art and agony of the tank (split from game thread)

    I so hate all of this talk every year, and I am not just talking about the talk here, I mean league wide. I can't emphasize how much I hate it. I am so ready to go to a system where each of the 14 teams that doesn't make the playoffs gets one ping pong ball. The first team ball to pop out of...

    [Game] Kings @ Pelicans - 3/31/17 - 5PT/8ET

    The big question: Does Buddy hit DMC in the crotch again? I doubt it. Maybe DMC hits Buddy in the crotch this time. LOL

    Trade one of our picks?

    Well I can see I am definitely in the minority with this idea. LOL. However, I remain intrigued with the idea, especially given that we likely have 2 high draft picks. Much of intrigue has to do with age. This draft has many really good PGs, but they are all quite young. We are talking about...

    Trade one of our picks?

    How about trading one of our first round picks for Marcus Smart? It was give us a young PG with strong defensive skills. It would give Boston a shot at a superstar. It would be great to have both Smart and Temple for some D minded guards. We have not had that in years. DJ may love it. The...

    I'm sorry, Vlade

    Vlade has been taking an absolute beating around here for weeks. However, he has obtained Buddy, Skal, Richardson, Big George and Bogdan from last summers draft. Did any team in the league do better in the draft - judging it from today? How quickly things can change. Enjoy the ride.:)

    Skal Labissiere

    Is he making a late push for ROY?:D

    Buddy Hield

    He is fun to watch. We have a number of young guys that I really enjoy watching including Skal, WCS and Richardson in addition to Buddy. Add to that list a couple of draft picks from this summer and Bogdanovic and we will have a bunch of young players with potential. I have no idea how it...

    The Kings Future Might Be Brighter than One Thinks

    Is the future brighter than many think? Maybe. It could also be darker than a black hole. Nobody really knows and that is the fun part of it. I will say that I find this to be an exciting time to be a Kings fan because the future has so many questions. We have so many young players and it...

    I may have been ... wrong

    I have a finite amount of energy and I see no rational reason to use any of this energy to be mad at Vlade. Pretty much everyone that knows him describes him as a great human being and this week does not change it. To be honest, when you trade away a player that many people adore there is...

    I may have been ... wrong

    There is little difference IMO: GK was honest and open about trades and his DMC concerns and people lost their minds. It was destructive to the team and the season. GK even admitted after he was fired that he was dumb to say it and wish that he hadn't. The exact same thing would have...

    I may have been ... wrong

    George Karl was open and honest about the possibility of trade. People did not value his honesty. Vlade may have noticed.

    I may have been ... wrong

    Should GMs always tell the truth while player agents lie like dawgs? It is all poker, it is all part of the game.

    I may have been ... wrong

    I do not know if you were wrong or not. Time will tell I guess. It was just great to see people smiling - the players and posters on this forum. Yes, I can see the smiles behind the avatars.

    Are You Still a Kings fan?

    I think that is a different issue. The issue I was discussing is the the attitude "I hope the Kings lose all the time so Vivek and Vlade will be shown to be the idiots that they are and I will be shown to be wise." Personal agenda > Kings success

    Are You Still a Kings fan?

    If a person is actively rooting against the Kings to succeed, then by definition I think that they are no longer a Kings fan. It seems that they are fans of an agenda.

    The end of dualism

    I am looking forward to the future if for no other reason than this is probably the end of dualism. For 7 years the narrative has been "The Kings and DMC" or "DMC and the Kings" as if they were connected, but 2 different entities. The endless debate has been "who is more dysfunctional, the...

    Are You Still a Kings fan?

    Of course I am a Kings fan. I am not even mad at the owner or the GM. At some point it is reasonable to say "we are done with all the drama and losing. This is a bad relationship. It is time to go in another direction." You can place blame wherever you want, but this was certainly never a one...
