    It sounds embarrassing to hear this about our organization, but we can turn this around with firing Silas, cutting KPJ and draft Wemby or Scoot….


    -Hire Kenny Atkinson
    -Cut KPJ because he is not a PG and he will go ballistic when he finds out he is the new 6th Man on the team
    -Draft Wemby or Scoot….it doesn’t matter
    -Give Brooklyn their picks and swaps back for Mikal Bridges
    -Use the Clipper’s pick to draft Dereck Lively from Duke, to have more size and badly needed interior defense
    -Sign either Cam Johnson or Bruce Bowen or Grant Williams for shooting and toughness
    -Trade Martin and Tate for a draft pick

    How about you see how KPJ does as the SG or 6th man before cutting him?

    How about you trade his non guaranteed deal for assets back?

    You're acting out of emotion which is the problem you're complaining about.

    I don't absolve Green either on the maturity issues...

    See how they adapt to a different coach and then reevaluate.

    You can’t make KPJ act like an adult. And for that reason he needs to go. And when I say act like an adult, I mean not have violent outbursts when things don’t go his way.

    And who are you? If Clutch says you are legit, I will believe you.

    Haliburton isn't walking in that door. Until a better option is out there don't complain.

    If you're suggesting Fox for Porter and picks this offseason I'm onboard... doubt the kings are though...

    People do change over time.

    Jalen Green has maturity issues too. You don't throw assets away because they aren't perfect.

    Given he hasn't had a disciplinarian coach I would want to attempt to salvage the value.

    A players coach like silas is the worst scenario for a young team.

    It’s a new kind of hilarious when you still are witness to DD’s mental health crisis - even though you’ve ignored him and cannot see a single post from the lunatic.

    It’s one thing to have maturity issues. It’s another thing to need serious mental help.

    I've never heard of a odd court incident with Green. What maturity issues are you referring to? Different hobbies than you?

    You don't even have to, demote him back to being the team's contract lawyer.

    Not that hard or he quits on his own.

    I think he is too legit. Too legit to quit actually.

    Was referring to basketball play. Making bad decisions like hot dogging and playing hero ball. Why do you eliminate on court behavior from consideration?

    Framing the data again in the best possible light?

    Go practice your jumpers or stop taking 3s at such a volume.

    The entire team has been undisciplined and making bad decisions on the court. Youre not the worst team in the nba because one or two players being undisciplined on the court. This has been a group effort.
