I know why Nico had press conference today, he's still helping Pelinka, Lakers need angry Luka in playoffs.

I think in a couple of years we're gonna get a TV show about this trade, especially if Luka wins a ring and Mavs flame out in the next two years....something similar to Clipped and Winning time :lol:

One very underrated aspect in all of this drama is Stein's open anger. Dude has been literally THE guy inside the FO for Cuban who got basically all the info first. And now he's openly going against everyone there. I wonder if they'll send him to the shadow realm like they once did with MacMahon. :lol:

I mean all joking aside, this just shows the all out anger towards the front office and how detached from reality Nico really is.

Mark, you hired that man. You sold the team to them.
It's your fault too.

Thing that I don't understand is, how 80% of fans renewed their season tickets? The only thing that could persuade owners to fire Nico is not giving them money. What is a point of being angry and still going to games?

Kings please step up to end this nightmares season.
Everyone has a right to be stupid. Some just abuse the privilege.

This interior defense is insane. I just want us to play OKC so bad.

It really sucks that Kyrie is out. If he were healthy this team could be a legit threat to win it all.

Like i said Sacramento is very bad. Small. No 3s. Iso plays. Bad coaching.

Look at PO Klay and imagine to add him to last year roster. Yes, you have a contender.

Like i said a lot of times Williams is a better player than Dinwiddie, i can't believe we played that low IQ Luka wannabe so much. He is not an NBA player.

AD was also a big factor in getting Klay the open looks. He plays the decoy and Sabonis can't leave him running to the basket alone. This leaves Klay's defenders to chase after him off a screen resulting in those shots. Good coaching IMO.
