From a Non-Kings Fan: It's Not the Coach....

[Chupacabra]

Granted this team has its weaknesses. A coaching change to the best coach in the league isnt going to make this team do a 180. The roster isnt perfect. However, the MAIN weakness of this current Kings team is the inexperience and inability of the head coach. He's horrible. Anyone that can sit back and watch the Kings games objectively is able to see that the coaching of this team is flat out horrible. There are horrible lineups on the floor for extended periods of time. Players will catch fire and suddenly be benched for no reason other than "its time for the other guy to get his fair share of playing time.". No other team in the league favors a set rotation pattern over playing the best players on the team and taking advantage of mismatches. Anyone with an unbiased perspective with knowledge of the roster will also be able to agree that the level of talent on the team is better than the record suggests. This is why there are so many frustrated kings fans and players. We all expect ( with the exception of a few negative nancys )more from this group than 3-9.

By the way I never fully stated what should be the solution for fixing this mess of a team and all of the turmoil that surrounds it.

The obvious solution that unfortunately is not reality would be for the Maloofs to sell the team and take Tyreke with them. I think it's pretty clear that the underlying cause for all of the Kings problems over the last 5+ years starts and ends with the Maloofs. When the owners started to suck at being owners......well the team started sucking too.

Short of getting rid of the Maloofs though the only real option to fix this team is to just blow the entire roster and coaching staff up. That means get rid of Coach Smart at the end of the season. Trade Tyreke and DeMarcus Cousins for a stockpile of draft picks and hope to hell that you hit paydirt on one of them and draft a natural born leader that has real "star" potential and that will make his teammates better.

The reality is that the only way this team gets better is by essentially starting over because the path that they are on now is just the road to nowhere.

If you are a Kings fan you have to ask yourself, regardless of who is the coach is Tyreke Evans ever going to lead you to win anything? Is DeMarcus Cousins ever going to lead you to win anything? If these two guys are your best players (and they will force themselves to be because they both need the ball and are incapable of being role players ) could this team ever win 50 games?

Ok, this has gotten ridiculous.

Initial note: ONE coach, and one coach only has been fired while Reke was here. And he was fired not because of Reke but because of a serious, and seriously stupid, conflict wiht DeMarcus.

Now, I want to explain something to you. I gave you the first post. You have posted here once or twice a year for several years. But you made a mistake coming on and announcing yourself as a Suns fan. You announce yourself a Suns fan, start a thread trashing the team, and you expect what exactly? Well, we're going to start by locking this thread. I will allow all kinds of stupidity from fans of the team. But nobody comes in here from outside, onto our board, and trashes our team. That's called trolling.
