13 years and likely this year without a post season appearance. One of the few times in history fate actually smiled on this franchise to give it a glimmer of hope and Vlade absolutely blew it. Mark my words this team will not the playoffs until he is fired. We need a GM who can actually draft...
Even if the Kings get a high draft pick, Vlade will most certainly blow it. His talent evaluation cannot be trusted, and that is very concerning when you're a small market team that cannot attract free agents.
It seems like you are simply arguing to argue. You made no point. How can you say bad character doesn't equal being bad teammate if you haven't defined what type of character is? Your definition is different than mine obviously, but I'm supposed to accept your opinion as fact. That's...
So basically you've been arguing semantics this entire time? Lecturing me on your definition of character against mine rather than discussing the reality of the situation? Almost every coach has said DMC is a headache in the locker room and carries around a volatile personality.
Don't you...
What is your point? That being a great teammate doesn't lead to winning? DUH. That being a bad teammate doesn't prevent winning? Again, obvious. What I've been saying is that there is a critical point to which teammates will tolerate impertinent behavior in the locker room.
Maybe English...
So why did Vlade the day after the trade say "characters matters...winning starts with culture" if Cousins was a great teammate? He could have said any number of things to justify the trade, but he didn't. I don't believe Vlade traded Cousins because off the court character issues, but for his...
True. Pro-athletes face immense pressures and are scrutinized. They motivate each other, but it has to be in the correct manner. Vlade as a former player understands and has experiences this, so it's hard for me to believe the type of culture that the Kings with Cousins had adhered to typical...
"good" character might hinder individual success, but it definitely has an impact on team success depending on the severity. I've had co-workers who only complained and moaned as they found problem with every single little thing creating an inhospitable work environment. The only thing I...
