The good thing about being in the lottery again is that you get a lottery pick that can be traded for a guy like Shane Battier. It's n ot so easy with a 15th pick. I think it happened a few years ago. ;-) http://www.nba.com/rockets/news/Rockets_acquire_Battier_in_tra-184447-822.html
What the Kings need is to bring Adelman back. Westphal is a loser. They should have never fired Adelman. Now, no good coach wants to take over them. They aren't going to get a Tom Thib, because they are so bad.
How can you consider 2007 and 2008 tanking? They were just mediocre with a 0.400-0.500 record, which is why it's bad. You are left barely making the playoffs and getting eliminated in the 1st round with no chance or you end up missing the playoffs and getting a draft pick in the bottom half of the lottery(8-14). Tyreke has only played a year. At least, give him 2 years like Durant and Lebron, before calling it the draft a mistake.
