One of the strangest Kings teams of the last decade and one of the most talented teams since we last made the playoffs. The whole season felt like a huge missed opportunity. On paper that team should have made the playoffs. Boogie, Rondo, Rudy, Collison all in their primes with shooters Bellinelli, Caspi, McLemore and even Seth Curry surrounding them. On paper this was a 40-45 win team and i think as of early February we were still in the mix.

But i guess putting a team together with that many personalities was doomed. i remember reading caron butler quotes about that being the most chaotic team he's ever played on. Just the craziness of Karl + Boogie + Rondo made a collapse inevitable. Still you wonder with any other head coach (Mike Malone?) could they have kept the ship afloat?

Shooting guard was a black hole. Belinelli forgot how to shoot. Karl was a joke of a coach. With Malone that team makes the playoffs but with no real upside.

Rondo to WCS was a sight to see. Boy would of liked to see that go on longer.

Belly Nelly was awful here, caught the P Pat hoodo that was going around I guess.

Rondo behaved himself from what I heard, got along well with Karl supposedly, so he wasn't the trouble in the locker room.

I'd of had their peak to be similar to the 96 Kings where if somehow they were just beneath 500 but it just so happened to be enough to squeeze into the playoffs.

In hindsight, Karl helped expand Cousins game.

We could of sold high on Cousins instead of hosing Karl then trading him anyway.

Karl could probably do wonders for the roster we have now. But sometimes people just don't like each other.
