Smart is a horrible nepotist of a coach

Jimmer Fredette is the only watchable player on this selfish, me-first, low basketball IQ, losing Sacramento team. And for some head-scratching reason, Keith Smart jerks Fredette's minutes around, leaving Jimmer to wonder if he is going to get 20 minutes or a DNP-CD on any given night.

The Kings are going to continue to lose, so why not at least give us the satisfaction of watching Jimmer in the otherwise depressing process?

It's time to get Jimmer off the bench.

But only after first firing Keith Smart.

At 22-43 (.338) the Sacramento Kings have the worst record in the Western Conference, and it's about time they did something about it.

The Kings' latest defeat came on March 10th in a frantic 115-113 home loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. This game better than any other this season highlighted two painfully obvious truths about this train wreck of an NBA franchise:

One, it's time to fire coach Keith Smart.

Two, it's time to free Jimmer Fredette from the bench.

Keith Smart, Head Scratcher

When it comes to coaching professional basketball, Mr. Smart's last name is an oxymoron. The man's personnel management and in-game strategy leave more NBA fans scratching their heads than a Head & Shoulders commercial

I'm not saying Smart is great, or decent, or even deserving or being a coach on this or any level, but this idea that Jimmer is the solution to our problems is way off base. He's still a defensive liability and the team's worst defender, and this team's main problem right now is defense. Adding Jimmer to the mix is giving a fat kid ice cream.

Coach Smart is a moron for jerking Jimmer's minutes around... Jimmer really doesn't deserve any minutes. He should be at the end of the bench. Toney Douglas is just a more stable backup PG and Thornton is the more explosive backup SG.

So no, any notion that Jimmer might be some kind of savior is off. He's a bust for the Kings. I would be happy trading Jimmer, firing Smart and running with a IT/Tyreke/Thornton/Douglas guard rotation under a real NBA coach rather than Smart's ridiculous hockey substitutions and random insertions of 12th and 13th men on the roster.

Jimmer will be an all-star PG in this league. Smart tried to ruin Lin and Curry already, while failing miserably. Smart will never be a HC in this league again.

I want Jimmer faaaaaaaaaaaaar away from this organization.

I like Jimmer but I just don't see him being starter material. He isn't that good of a distributor and he gets destroyed on defense.
