Kings Fire Luke Walton

[homeytennis]

That didn't take long. It sounds like Alvin Gentry is the interim head coach.

 

[Gameface]

Well they had to do something, he was literally making fans sick.

Least surprising development in the league this year.

I’ve always said that one of the strongest indicators of your standing in the league is when homeytennis starts a thread about you.

 

[Release the Kraken]

@homeytennis - Ha, beat you by 3 mins (game thread).

After the “Fire Walton chants” I knew there’d be Hell to pay for leaving our starters in and running up the score! No more scheduled wins with Sac-town

Don’t worry… Kangz gonna Kang.

But it is deeply satisfying to be there to witness my team put the final nail in the coffin. Most relevant thread Homey has ever made. Also a guy puked everywhere… I will carry these memories with me forever.

So, in recent years, the jazz have ended Lob City, OKC’s last big3 experiment, and now the illustrious Luke Walton era of the Kangs.

We’re franchise killers.

Now Luke will have time to start a podcast with Richard Jefferson

So will Kings make big roster changes
Do they actually trade Bagley or start playing him

Can we end the KAT era in Minny… can we convince OKC to stop the tank… what other atrocities can we end?

I think he’s been on the market for a while… and the price ain’t high. They tried to trade Buddy for Kuzma and it didn’t work out. My wonder is do they do Fox for Ben Simmons. Fox has now had enough bad years that I think he may have had one outlier shooting year and maybe he’s not the player we thought.

The one guy that we’d have some interest in is Harrison Barnes but Bogey plus a first in like 2029 plus Butler is not gonna get that done. Barnes may get moved if they go into a tear down. It’s weird cuz it’s not built up very much so what are you even tearing down.

The thing with Marvin Bagley is that he sucks. People need to zoom out from where he was selected in the draft and his nominal stats in years 1-3, and zoom into his everything stats this year and that THE KINGS have been worse with him on the floor since day 1.

Bogey + stuff for Harrison Barnes would be a dream but I can’t see a scenario where that happens.

In any case, trading for Ben Simmons, tanking their asses off, gutting the organization, and selling to an ownership group that wants to move the team to Seattle sounds like proper initial steps to doing a proper rebuild for an organization who was only ever good once, and only for a couple of years a generation ago.

Yet I said Walton was dead at 1:41am.

I say Portland, I'm tired of them wasting Dame's career

Hope so! A lot of young talent and anybody’s better than Walton IMO.

Not to mention orgy city with papa Dead Head and Richie in attendance, lol.

 

[Game6Conley]

he HAD to go...

Lost the lockerroom for sure...


Chimezie Metu starting at PF with Bagley 3rd string is not what that team needs..


Fox also not playing well really so far this season.

 

[Rubashov]

Should have been fired last year

 

[Thee Idiotic Minivan K]

I seem to recall in the 90’s the jazz played two teams back to back that fired their coach right after getting beat down by the jazz, so this isn’t new.
