EDIT:

we drafting the next georgios papagiannis with this pick watch out for this demon league 😈

We need Lavine back out there

Imagine being a kings fan

i’m going to end it all

It’s really not fucking fair for some of the best fans in sports to have to put up with this level of fucking incompetence for TWENTY YEARS. TWENTY!

Fuck vivek and this entire stupid ass franchise. Even if Silver gave us number 1, we still have Vivek picking! We’re fucked. He would choose someone his daughter thinks is cute or some shit. I can’t believe after literal decades of putting up with this shit I’m just about fucking DONE.

First time in a decade I haven’t gone to a game this season. First season in my life where I didn’t try to watch every single game. I watched barely 10. We have some of the highest ticket prices in the league! After a 16 game losing streak! Vivek increased ticket prices by 10% next year.

This is the first time in ALL of our suffering we are finally seeing the loyal fans turn on the franchise. We have stuck through some serious shit but this is just too much. We have no future. No talent on the roster to develop. No free agent coming to this shit show. And now we will have no draft pick.

It should be criminal to do this to good fans.

So bad they can’t even tank properly Jesus, at least we get to see Demar hooping but I’d be livid as a kings fan  

This franchise deserves its laughing stock of the league status. Outside of maybe the NY Jets i dont think there is a more incompetent north america pro sports team

I am both mad at the Jazz for tanking and mad at the Kings for not tanking

Man, I feel for the Kings fans.

Dont worry Killian Hayes is coming

Kings pick 5th-8th once again

Ethical, free range tanking.

One of the best fanbases in the league just does not deserve this.

Someone seriously needs to plant some Sterling-type of evidence to get Vivek banned from the league and bring in a serious owner who will hire the right people and not just former Kings players who don’t have any experience for FO/Coaching jobs.

Kings fans really deserve a turnaround like the Warriors getting “We Believe” and Steph/Dynasty, or an owner like Ballmer’s who’s gonna just pay (and do?) whatever it takes for the team to be relevant.

Because whatever the fuck the last 40 years have been can’t keep going.

The Hornets have turned shit around. The Wizards finally have a FO that knows how to tank and accumulate assets. C’mon Kings- do something right please.

DeMar DeRozan playing without expectations is among the deadliest players in the world.

Ban Westbrook and Derozan for attempting to win games

They gave the spurs a 2031 first round unprotected swap in order to “take on” Harrison Barnes contract and this was the path to signing Demar derozan.

Truly genius work by the kings once again.

Edit: Also here is r/nba praising the move to trade an unprotected 2031 first round swap just to “dump” Harrison Barnes contract to the spurs and use the cap space to sign and trade for derozan.

I can’t tell if r/nba is genuinely that stupid or they were just doing that thing where they pity praise bad franchises even when they make objectively horrible moves…

This is why tanking is bullshit. The actual horrific team that needs a good pick is slowly pushed up in the odds.

Th Washington Wizards of the NBA

Demar got underrated longevity he might retire with 30k points ngl

As a nets fan, demar I see it demar I like it……..

Can’t even manage to tank right lol. Kings truly are a dumpster-fire organization, how do you fuck up the concept of intentionally losing?

It’s the kangs bro, they could finish with the worst record in the league or just below 500 below either way they are picking just outside of the sure things and even then every player picked around there pick will be great meanwhile there pick won’t do shit till he ends up on the Lakers.

Ugly, ethical hoops for the sickos

I honestly have no clue what this franchise is doing. It’s genuinely impressive.

Something so funny about them adding Killian Hayes and also potentially ruining their tank at the same time

They play Brooklyn two more times. They win those and it’s a wrap, Utah overtakes them too.

Good, I hate tanking.

The Kings won’t stay at 4th for long. The Nets have the easiest schedule remaining of the bottom 5.

The Kings are even bad at tanking this is amazing stuff

They can’t drop to 9th if they’re 4th in odds.

Fuck you vivek, until my deathbed

Honestly I’m really glad. In 2016, I was hanging out with my boys and they were all talking about ball. So I thought to myself, I should follow the nba more closely. And the first team that I thought was cool in terms of name was the sacremento kings. And I’m so glad they roasted me for my thoughts. I wanted to follow the rapters (due to home bias), bucks and OKC. I got to see them all get a championship before the kings got to even be competitive.

And people seriously ask why teams tank.  Kings are terrible and are getting punished for playing hard 

Teams intentionally tank: it’s an issue! This needs to stop!

Kings start winning instead of tanking: the Kings are dumb!

r/nba: We need to stop tanking!

Also r/nba: Aww, poor Kings fans, I can’t believe they’re winning basketball games…

Signing Killian Hayes was meant to balance this out. Seems it’s not working.

We are literally incapable of doing ANYTHING right.

So y’all are mad at a team for winning games lmao. Dumbasses

Let LaVine play again

This is why the jazz wont take any chances.

I was saying that the Kings are doing too much with all this winning

DeRozan really looked at the Kings’ lottery odds and said “I’m a darwinist”.

Of course delowzan starts winning when its not needed

lol reading the top 5 comments all being from kings fans make me laugh

blame your dumbass owner who thought Luka was a “role player”

We won 4 of the last 5. Light the Beam!!! 🟣 🔦

I mean, having the worst record the last few years does not bode well for draft position so who knows, it might not be that bad

Only the Kings could get tanking wrong.

Kings gonna Kings.

I feel terrible for Kings fans.

The draft gods will reward them, I believe it

Lol @ NBA fans crying about blatant tanking everyday yet being upset in this sub that a team is actually playing to win. Nba fans are terrible

let me just say, you don’t want to be number 1 in lottery odds. almost confirms you won’t be getting pick 1

Demar fixing to have a season ending ingrown toenail.

So wait, people have been bitching about tanking for weeks, but now that a team is not tanking, they’re pieces of shit for not tanking?

Honestly, the NBA will probably gift the kings the #1 pick since they aren’t intentionally tanking. You heard it here first.

Im sorry but the 4th worst team being sent as far back as pick #9 is beyond fucking ridiculous

I actually have a visceral hatred for this franchise

do you guys like tanking or not lmao

Hey I’ve seen this one before. It’s a classic.

So do you all want tanking or no tanking. Or just to be negative about every team no matter what they do

The Kings cant even tank right anymore!

Probably will have better odds of getting the number 1 pick now. Worst team in the league hasn’t gotten it in the past 5 years lol

Keep it up Sacramento, we love to see this progress.

Good on Sacramento for still playing with effort amidst a rough season. These wins will be invaluable once their young guys start playing in more important games.
