Imagine Monte McNair in his next GM interview attempting to explain trading Haliburton for Sabonis and Fox for Lavine. That guy seriously doesn't get enough hate from Kings fans

yet people still blame Vivek. McNair makes that trade, the horrendous Fox situation, drafts a 22 y/o Carter knowing he was injured and out for 1/2 the year and somehow, someway, genius fans are like "fIrE tHe OwNer!"

Then Scott Perry, armed with a deep backcourt already, knowing we need a rebuild, drafts a 23 y/o guard and 22 y/o center, then gets Schroder and Westbrook so the young guys can't even play...but that's Vivek's fault? Then he overpays the definitively mid Keegan Murray (which elicits mostly applause from you guys btw) and you wonder why we suck and laughably blame the owner.

What don’t you understand about Vivek win now mandates that we’re going on the entire time

During Hali’s situation, Vivek was pushing for an all in trade, and there were reports behind McNairs back and to spur McNair on that the Kings were looking for win now help even as a bad team that they were.

Fox, was not only “leading” bad Kings teams before Domas arrival, but he was bumbling through a bad season and had no value, and who does that leave?

It was dual Vivek/Fox in equal parts leading to the Kings losing Hali

And it’s very well known and established that Vick has constant man crushes for scoring guards and thinks he is somehow finding the next Steph.

The constant of chasing those players and not appropriately building role playing flexible athletes around the chosen core is exactly how we ended up here.
