Not panic, but I have the same long-term concerns that I expressed immediately after the Cousins trade. We're in year five under Ranadive's ownership and there has been no progress. The people in charge have not yet built anything, so it is misleading to call this a "rebuild". The last time a...

PG: George Hill / Jamal Crawford SG: Manu Ginobili / J.R. Smith SF: Vince Carter / Richard Jefferson PF: Zach Randolph / Udonis Haslem C: Pau Gasol

20 wins, worst team in the league.

No doubt there is much experimenting to be done, but I would distribute PG and SG minutes according to performance between Hill, Hield, Bogdanovic, Fox and Temple and play none of them at SF, except maybe against exceptional small ball opponents.

I only saw Bogdan in the semifinal and final, but he looked like a young Tyreke Evans with a three-point shot in those games. He was able to repeatedly penetrate defenses that definitely tried to prevent him from doing so, and finished well at the basket or found the open man on the perimeter...

We don't have a top 50 player on the team, maybe not even a top 80 player. More than half the roster is new. No matter what our lineup is, it will practically always include 2-3 players who have not played with each other before this season. So this team is going to lose. Even 25 wins seems too...

Well, I posted this on Dec 18, 2014. I had the same reaction on Feb 20, 2017 (Monday morning where I live): _____________________________________ Great scene with Vivek and our playoff hope: Playoff Hope: I don't deserve this. To die like this. I was building a community. Vivek: Deserve's got...

Personally, I care(d) quite lot about the Kings soon-to-be record-breaking playoff drought. I really can't understand how team management could decide to sabotage this season and blow it up when we finally had a good shot at ending that drought. Now there is no end in sight. I would have...

I don't know yet, but one thing is for sure. Unless ownership changes, I will buy nothing from this franchise.

It disturbs me that knowledgeable fans are the butt of this joke. All season long we have laughed at seemingly ignorant Cousins trade rumors: "no way, he said he will resign with the Kings!", "that's ridiculous, Vlade said there will be no trade!" And now all of a sudden all the ignorant rumors...

Thanks for everything Boogie, especially your loyalty! In addition to being completely insane from a basketball perspective, this trade is dishonorable and disgusting in light of Vlade's earlier promises. You deserve the opportunity to build your legacy in a better place.

Resource Limit Is Reached This kingsfans.com message is to inform everyone that the front office has now reached the limit of its brain resources and negotiation resources, that the global Kings fanbase has reached the limit of its patience resources, and consequently the franchise will soon...

Congratulations to Boogie for making it out. Best of luck in New Orleans, and then probably Washington. This is the beginning of the end for professional basketball in Sacramento. Why would anyone pay for watching this team again? The franchise will be insolvent in five years, then bought and...

49 wins

This is the heart of the matter. I'm actually surprised to hear that he is a Kings employee (I didn't know anything about it since I live in Europe), I always assumed he was employed by your local television network. It seems absurd to me that such a visible part of the Kings' organization has...

This was a good game to watch in replay and fast forward to the 4th quarter. I have to say I envy Jazz fans. Their team has a limited roster with a bunch of low drafted and undrafted players whom I've never paid any attention to, but they find ways to score through teamwork and a good game plan...

That sequence from 2.25 to 1.32 in the 4th quarter is the Kings' season in a nutshell. Kings players losing their defensive assignments even before anyone sets a screen, and not being able to retrieve them for one whole minute. Collison guarding Lebron James twice and Lebron actually passing it...

So in the final minute we have two timeouts and on both occasions Boogie gets the ball behind the 3-point line. He didn't go anywhere near the low post for the entire 4th quarter. George Karl seriously expects this team to win a close game with a strategy where nobody plays close to the basket?

I don't quite see what Divac's role would be if someone else is hired as GM. How many levels of executive decision-making does this team need? And surely the Kings must already have legal experts who understand collective bargaining?

It's Vivek's ass-first-up-the-stairs leadership more than anything. He hires Malone, then hires comrade Alessandrov who wants Malone gone and hires Karl, then he fires Alessandro just after the coaching hire. Supposedly Divac was a good replacement, but we don't really know that yet because...
