He used Vivek’s stupidity to his strength and advantage for a top 5 draft pick.

Let that sink in. Vivek is genuinely that stupid.

They didn’t even have to trade any of their vets to tank

They’re just ass

They built a team of empty stats players to prove everyone right

4th worst career plus minus of all time

Which is funny because that label is applied to a lot of inefficient shot chuckers with high volume. Lavine is an efficient shot chucker; he just sucks on every single other aspect of competitive basketball.

His off ball defense is atrocious and his shot selection is not good, he gets bailed out by his shooting skill a lot 

He’s 30 years old, on his 3rd team in the league, and still hasn’t made the playoffs

You say no hate, but…

They’ll get Darryn Peterson then continue to build around LaVine-DeRozan-Sabonis

Win #1 pick

• Trade for Ja

#PROFIT

knowing their FO, they’ll just draft someone who doesn’t deserve going 1st overall

brother they picked Marvin Bagley over Luka and JJJ, and Trae Young

Kings get the first pick and select Caleb Wilson 😂

I wonder, if the Bulls kept Vooch or Coby do you think we could have convinced them to trade the number 1 pick for them?

You have to make a deal with the NBA to get the #1 pick in a good draft. Vivek not allowed to even negotiate

Why do they deserve it, because they’re dysfunctional and bad at their jobs?

I feel like for the past 15 years the kings have overall been awful but they always seem to be in that 5-7th pick range and they never get the generational superstar

You’re a Wizards fan. I have significantly more faith in your ownership and management’s ability to build than mine’s.

They would sell all their talent for a win now player and doom themselves in the future. Book it.

They drafted Marvin Bagley over Luka. They deserve to be dogshit and lose for another 3 decades, which is exactly what they’ll do

They already got a chance at generational prospects at #2 and fumbled Luka…

The Pacers are the most deserving of a #1 Pick

A real tank move would be to let Zach Lavine play.

Now I’m picturing Silver ordering an operation in the Golden 1 Center to remove Vivek like Maduro in Venezuela.

Our coach is not a NBA level coach

And what’s worse is this is them actively trying to win.

Like they’re not just purposely bad.

I don’t know what’s worse for a player’s psyche. An active tank where you’re being asked to sit and then play like doodoo, or this shit where you’re trying your hardest and it turns out y’all just fuckin suck.

Lmao Brick was the perfect person to thing the tank together

You’d be depressed too if you had to live in Sacramento

The real tankers should be ashamed

Makes me think Donovan was working magic with that shit in retrospect

This is what happens when a team plays in the west.

Easy play-in team in the east

Yes. We did nothing to improve the roster and tried to run it back.

Our owner is a meddler who also has strong opinions like “Zack Lavine is good!”

Owner liked Fox so he accommodated his request to be traded to a good team instead of best offer. Then requested we get Lavine back instead of picks to rebuild.

Oh you dont know our owner capacities. They traded away Valanciunas for D. FUCKING Saric to free space to sign Schroder, cause according to them, the team were 1 PG away of being competitive

i was confusing the amount of losses in a row with their record.

that’s even crazier. they’ve lost more in a row than they’ve won all season lmfao

The second game was hilarious because it was technically close most of it but it seemed the Kings were never actually close

Well that’s not true lol. While I agree Doug probably isn’t the coach of the future & serious winning, he can be the good one for a young rebuilding team and developing guys which is all we are now.

Also Doug did commentary for like a year in 18-19, he was an Assistant King’s coach from 21-24 (strange across multiple HC’s and GMs) then took over as HC in Dec 24 to date on a short cheap deal.

So while Vivek LOVES to give jobs to the “Greatest Show on Court Era” Kings, and kept him primed probably for the spot, he’s not like an overnight thing. He has been part of the team & coaching staff for 4 years basically. Not commentator to HC in months lol

For this team to be mid, two players cannot be hurt at all, Sabonis and Keegan, and they’ve missed a huge chunk of the season with injuries.

We haven’t seen a single second of both Keegan and Sabonis together on the court this season. Paired that with the hardest schedule to start and we got this.

Fortunately, it gave Maxime more minutes and a clear direction for the team to go, which is a top 5 pick in a great draft class.

I mean that’s not really true. The two most important players to this team have, I still think, not played a game together & still not played our starting 5.

Since pre-season Sabonis & Keegan been taking turns with injuries and surgeries. Shit it took Sabonis being hit with THREE different injuries to finally sit his ass out of games lol if the team was fully healthy & using the young guys right, we would be winning a lot.

Folks think I’m an idiot for saying that. But this team finished 40-42 just last season. Since then we added a needed true PG in Westbrook, drafted Clifford, Maxime & Cardwell all of whom are crushing it very well & upgraded Issac Jones with Precious.

This was a play-in team around 500 if fully healthy for everyone, I mean look at the wins we have this season. It’s when young guys get real minutes & Sabonis/Keegan get some real run back & and it’s against really good teams, not the bad teams, we luckily lose those lol.

Unfair some of us are just masochists.
