The 2022 3 seed season seems so long ago…

Is that their only (real) playoff appearance in the past 20 years?

We actually light the beam during losses too. They installed a horizontal beam so that it looks like a giant purple L in the sky. Visit Sacramento and see it sometime.

I feel like most fans genuinely hope they get a good draft pick lol. We all just feel bad for them. They had such a good fanbase.

Kings need that top 3 and to just get rid of some of the vets. Let the young guys playing have 1 or 2 vets around.

Hard to DNP Russ otherwise they’d never be eliminated from playoff contention.

Why did the Kings not just keep that 2022-23 team together again? Seems pretty stupid in hindsight.

They did, which was the problem. They made no changes, and when they did it was for the wrong reasons.

They were basically the same team just moved Barnes who may have been a good locker guy but provided little overall. Huerter was not consistent, then Fox wanted out.

We ran it back but a handful of the players started underperforming.

Sabonis is super limited too and a playoff choker and Fox was really close to getting us to a WCF visit.

Mike Brown also shifted philosophies after the first season with the team- to a defensive minded one. It’s like dude- just play to the strengths of the personnel- Sabonis can’t guard shit

Couple in a shitty draft pick with Carter and trading Davion Mitchell to get Vivek out of paying tax- and you have your recipe for disaster.

I hope one day I can hate the kings again. Met a lot of fans last year on my trip to sacramento and they were passionate. Plus, best arena!!
