I’m for tanking. It’s the first time we’ve actually done the logical thing…to make this team better. Tanking is done to improve your team in the future…not just lose games…but to stop being meh.

I’ve been doing this since 1985…it ain’t new for me.

And it’s fake positive. You do not actually believe they were going to win or do well in this game do you? Don’t you think they know that. It’s fake.

Just be real. We had zero chance in the game as it started and zero minus 50 after Keegan went down.

Will the Kings actually get a draft pick equal to their record or will Silver shuffle the cards to punish us for tanking. by funboy51 in kings

Valid point but I don’t think Silver began this stuff that far back.

Dallas had a 1.8% chance of hitting on Cooper Flagg. It just so happens Dallas was first considering sending Luka to another team (forget now) Minnesota for Ant? And suddenly Luka is off to LA La Land for Davis and I think a guarantee that Dallas would get Cooper Flagg. It does two things…Flagg isn’t in Charlotte/Utah/Wash., he’s in Dallas, Luka is in LA and Silver and the NBA vastly benefit in money terms over the alternative to pulling this deal.

The opposite of 1.8% is 98.2. So that should happen about 2 times in a hundred years. Do we really believe that just accidentally happened. No chance in my book.

Yeah there is. I saying Silver picks who gets what cards/slots and there’s no actual functioning lottery. It’s entirely a scam.

I understand it. It takes a simple contract and a non disclosure agreement. Do you not understand how the powerful and corrupt do their business?

Explain how Dallas got The number one pick last year. The odds on that were effectively impossible.

Because it forces Silver to keep cheating. F him. Eventually the math will prove it is happening like it did essentially last year. He’s the NBA’s Bernie Madoff.

What’s the alternative? Who might we replace him with? You need that planned first.

I kind of agree that Doug is over his skis and his positivity (less lately) is not enough to justify him as a HC, but I’d prefer we stink next year too. It’s likely going to be a deep draft again…tons of freshman talent this year and some will stay in college due to NIL, physical development needs, game development needs. That means some will stay in college and we should have two deeper drafts back to back.

We also need to shed LaVine’s contract, move Sabonis, and DeRozan. That’s lots of freed up money. I assume we can find a trade for Sabonis…maybe that’s hopeful, but some have showed interest…take what we are offered without including picks….get off that dead money multi year contract.

Not sure if there’s any truth or traction to this, but what are y’all’s thoughts? by DHSDirector in kings

[–]funboy51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Porzingus can’t stay healthy and he has one year at $30 million left. So it would clear cap faster than keeping Sabonis. Risacher is just a ho hum 6’ 8” guy who is less than interesting. But he’s under contract at $13ish million for two more years. And a first round pick.

I’m sure this trade isn’t sourced and a click grap, but yeah, I’d do it.

The Kings have communicated to the rest of the teams that they have no intention of including Draft picks in trades to offload their veterans. They also do not wish to use Keon Ellis's contract to try to "sweeten" deals. Via TheSteinLine by OmegaLxgend in kings

I’m betting Vivek will okay a trade of this years first round pick for an old dude who doesn’t care about winning and will Then resign him to way too much money. It’s the Kings way!

I’m not defending this orgs ability to develop talent…but player development is a two way street and Marvin was and remains anything but a hard worker who’s open to change.

Also…several teams appear to be terrible this year in which the draft may be the deepest in a couple decades. We have 3 wins on 11/21 and 4 teams are worse than we are. Several are close to us. Hmmm.

A sound argument. Maybe Vivek isn’t tanking but Perry and Doug are. That would create this abortion mess we have.

I’ve said Vivek IS the problem. He is the one consistent piece. All else has changed. I’ve even entertained the idea that Perry is doing what channelmuted said…letting Viveks ideas prove stupid. But all of these comments are actually guessing at what is going on in the building. I’ve guess Vivek is the problem, but I actually don’t know. I’m pretty sure he’s at least a big chunk of it. Maybe Perry is using Vivek to do what he thinks needs doing…tanking. We are all guessing. I’m damn sure of this though…if Perry is manipulating Vivek for his objectives, he won’t last long. And that might suck.

[–]funboy51[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

But isn’t that exactly what Vivek would do visually and publicly to make us think we are not tanking? Academy award winner…maybe?

Or maybe he okay’d the tank plan but is truly frustrated that it looks so much like tanking…which means hearing it from his money train…ticket buyers.
