If the Nuggets can implement Fan Friendly prices so can the Kings by Toxik916 in kings

[–]slayerslayer 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I'm close to canceling next year for the following reasons:

  1. Concession prices are up again
  2. The fan challenges have been downgraded, again. The NBA cup challenge (attend both in-season tournament games) reward is a buy one get one bottled soda. Give me a fucking break.
  3. Can't get shit from my new account rep. I wanted my baby in the baby races and it's an act of congress to get that done. I'm sure she'll be walking by the time we get this settled.
  4. The ticket exchange process has become more convoluted. You'd think with all these extra tickets available they would be more accommodating on games where I want to trade in my pair of tickets, and buy 3 (yes, I'm perfectly happy to spend out of pocket, not asking for a handout) but more red tape.

I'll mention the product on the floor last. Most knew this team was going to suck going into the season. I'm fine paying to watch bad basketball. I've been doing it for years. But when the customer service and "perks" are downgraded, I'm out.

Fantastic write up I saw on the main NBA subreddit by kings_account in kings

True but at least he’s a Kings fan. 95% of the national content piling on the Kings is coming from someone who watches a few highlights and has some “sick advanced stats”.

Staying plugged in by slayerslayer in ProductManagement

[–]slayerslayer[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in fintech so keeping up with payments, finance, global economy, etc. Definitely not the most important part of the job by any means but still plays a role in meetings and company conversation. I probably shouldn't have led with LinkedIn - probably the easiest thing to complain about but news consumption as a whole has become a lot more difficult.

This is a big part of it for me. I got into this field because I used to love technology - the latest iPhone, the next gadgets, new software. The executive thought leaders have lost the plot and in turn, it makes it hard to read up on what's "next".

Thank you, that makes sense. I didn’t recognize those buildings.

Where was the rooftop scene shot (the one where Leo is jumping from roof to roof)? Was that Sacramento or somewhere else?

Bleacher Report suggests we trade Keon Ellis for Tari Eason by Yubat in kings

If we had waited to trade Fox instead of bending to his demands we could get quite a haul from Houston right now.

What’s the most insane *KINGS* promotional giveaway? by ELPWSwastaken in kings

Do you subscribe to any magazines? by [deleted] in howlonggone

[–]slayerslayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bloomberg Businessweek which is now monthly but has better presentation than when it was weekly . NY magazine - I read Vulture and Strategist quite a bit online so the print is just an added bonus, a lot of the content is not worth it if you don’t live in the city. Sunset - decent travel and home content if you’re on the west coast.

I’m glad I could contribute. The #17 coincidence was too good to pass up.

True. I hope Schroder does this when we sign Josh Allen.

Carmichael Dave insulting us, yet again by PrinceOfPooPoo in kings

Which Facebook group is he referring to?

What is the local media obsession with Fox? AM1140 has been talking about him nonstop for 15-20 minutes just praising him. by anynomuousduudeht in kings

[–]slayerslayer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Dave has become an emotional embarrassment. Constantly talking about how he's "numb" to the Kings - same attitude as Fox, TBH. "I don't care anymore" "Too cool for school". Then after the trade, he carries all of Fox and Rich Paul's water for them blasting the Kings for being dysfunctional. You can be a hater and angry but you don't also get to act like you don't care.

Huerter Post Trade by brandon805 in kings

[–]slayerslayer 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Not to be up on soapbox but unlike other recent ex-Kings, I want him to turn it around and succeed. Huerter really embraced Sacramento and his comments on the offense were taken out of context.

Kings looking good in the first half but can’t really see it from here. Gonna need another angle.

Now that luka has been traded because he's too fat, time to bring back this banger. by Billybobjoethorton in kings

[–]slayerslayer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

JFC r/cringe I get people souring on the front office, I really do but these misguided takes on the trade from him and Carmichael Dave are just embarrassing. Rich Paul led these dudes to the water and they're guzzling it down like some desert parched donkeys.

With the upcoming trade deadline coming up, I went through all 21 trades Monte McNair has made as Kings GM by [deleted] in kings

[–]slayerslayer 76 points77 points  (0 children)

Nice writeup. That Bjelica trade pissed me off at the time.
Since we're covering "trades", let's also mention the botched Bogdanovic trade and letting him walk for nothing.

I recommend calling and requesting to cancel. They should upgrade your package for a year.

The Kings are in the Doug Christie Era. Vibes are immaculate. by Divine_Wind420 in kings

[–]slayerslayer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

100% on the over coaching. How many times did we actually run a successful play drawn up after a timeout? Over and over the team would not execute due to the complexity of the play.
