It would be easier to prove that the earth is flat, FlatearthZorro. Of course Haliburton has been better for quite some time.

To be fair, there was also this guy Sabonis.

Still a bad trade.

Honestly, if it is a healthy relationship and you are a billionaire like Vivek, trading an NBA superstar for an All-Star and your daughter's future husband is probably a worthwhile trade. :lol:

I'm sure that's exactly what he was thinking about when he made that trade.

The article said they met after he was waived by the Kings, and he was playing for the g-league team while the daughter was an exec there. If they started their relationship then, wouldn't it be similar to the relationship between Phoneix Mercury's executive and its player?

In hindsight I think Kangz fans would be much happier and stress free in their lives if the proposed Kings relocation to Seattle happened (before the Sacramento Community led by Mayor Kevin Johnson at the time rallied to build a new stadium to replace Arco Arena)

Joking but generally feel rotten for Sac-Town fans.

Is Vivek supposed to feel badly about his daughter dating a previous employee of his? I don't get the point here.

Also, they traded him for Sabonis. I thought it was a bad trade, but still.

After reading a thread title, I thought Domantas Sabonis is dating Domantas Sabonis' daughter...

But if you are Vivek, and that trade helped your daughter find a good guy, that is some solace in a trade you badly lost at this point.

Not sure how Anjali is as a person, but I think she is super pretty and her father is billionaire, so at least on face value, Lamb doing well.

Fox wasn’t willing to play alongside Hali and he literally forced managements hand to not draft Luka. Shortly after he went full bitch mode and forced his way to San Antonio. Dude was a selfish pos and should be catching just as much heat as Vivek imo.

I mean who the hell is Fox to be demanding moves?

I put that on management for being weak if they’re getting ordered around by some B tier young star

Apparently Jeremy Lamb started dating Anjali when he was a player and she was the GM of the Kings (does anyone know why she was the GM)

and it fueled the firing of Mike Brown and the departure of DeAaron Fox

I didnt hear any of this, but Anjali being Kings GM sounds about right knowing how credible the ownership is. She must have learned basketball nuances from pops himself, cherry pick basketball savant.

Yup, suck for Kings fans but parents do a lot more crazy stuff for their kids than this.
