I'm from Sac and I've been a Kings fan since Mitch Richmond, I could tell you that the Kings never really been good until Chris Webber and Mike Bibby got there, Jason Williams was cool and fun to watch but Mike Bibby fit more better the him.... The Kings problem was the Maloof brothers, they didn't want to spend money and then they wanted to move the team, so from then on we had problems with players wanting to play here... DeMarcus Cousins was a good player but he was not a Saint, don't let him fool you he had a attitude problem when he didn't get his way... FYI the best coach the Kings ever had was Rick Adelman they should of never let him go

[@forw4rdp422]

They play a different position. It’s difficult for a big to be held responsible for turning around a franchise in modern basketball. Fans like the guards and wings more. I don’t know, maybe it’s because they’re smaller and more relatable 😂 It took one that had the element of surprise (2nd round draft pick Nikola Jokic) to really change that stigma. Embiid is going through it now, the 76ers haven’t been a terrible team but Embiid definitely shares a big part of the blame for basically no reason.

[@TempeSoldier123]

[@GaryDNeal3]

these comments are weird and aren’t coming from real hoop fans. sac fan. boogie was amazing. i never once blamed him. coaching staff was always some rehire that was fired from a different team. the drafting was terrible, pure nonsense. i wanted the kings to be great and still do, but their drafting and roster shaping is garbage. Shout out to Boogie and dray.

[@vincentramirez8188]

I blamed him for his immaturity and not being able to handle his emotions. That cost us a lot of games. He got better further in his career, but he was too reactive while on the Kings. Tough to win many games no matter the roster when your best player is fouled out or ejected. I am glad to see him doing well and being so mature.

[@LivinProoof]

The Kings drafting etc isn't awful anymore. The organization has taken a turn. They got Haliburton and Fox, flipped Hali into Sabonis which immediately took them to the playoffs. They aren't STILL the same organization. When the garbage ass maloofs left it's started getting better.

[@GaryDNeal3]

@@LivinProoof i said wash but i still think keeping fox and trading hali for sabonis was a garbage move. will never win a chip with sabonis. he’s 🗑️. making the playoffs is such a. low bar achievement. chip or nothing.

@@GaryDNeal3 bEsT RebOuNdEr iN NbA = TrAsH - casual logic. Best passing big man besides Jokic, can get a bucket, and is actually underrated on defense. Yea wemby is the better scorer and defender but Sabonis has traits wemby doesn't have. Sabonis is a top 3 center in the league.

Warriors fan since the Al Attles era (RIP). Anyone who didn’t realize all those years of futility were owner Chris Cohan’s fault wasn’t paying attention. Destroying the “We Believe” team was the last straw. I washed my hands of the team until he sold. Thank you Lacob and Guber for saving us!!

[@mikemiddaugh7610]

I'm with you on that one Cohan was a terrible owner. I still remember him trading J. Rich for a bag of peanuts. That was the beginning of the dismantle of the we believe team. Also still remember the Warriors boycott website to get rid of Chris Cohan he was so bad. Guess is worked 🤷

I wouldn’t necessarily say Demarcus went off on the Kings. This title is exaggerated. And there are articles and videos of people breaking down the worst franchises too

[@ragethevictorious3060]

As a Kings fan that man Boogie was given the keys and never had the IQ or maturity to be the franchise player he could've been. Thank God we chose Fox to build around. Now look at the Kings, they've built something special. Cousins would say something like that, I wouldn't expect different from his mentality back then. Still loved watching Cousins and a Big man having that much talent was awesome. Even though didn't go the way we wanted, Cousins gave us some great years especially with Tyreke.

[@iwituazon10]

Those who know hoops for real and who followed the Kings know Cousins was also a big part of the Kings “shithole”. Fighting with coaches, teammates, etc. I can keep going but i’ll leave it at that.

[@jasbb2]

Draymond with the real talk as usual. Never the orgs fault. It's always he player that's a bust even though the teenager was put in a shitty situation

[@Waltvault]

Boogie couldn’t control his attitude early on and created a lot of disdain with his coaches and certain media members. Not to mention the referees even beyond his kings days. The Kings did not know how to tame the beast that was mr. cousins and tried to please him by eliminating coaches he didn’t like. Truly Demarcus is initially to blame. The franchise ultimately is to blame for not knowing how to respond to a such a dynamic freak of nature on the court. Firing the one coach Demarcus actually respected in Mike Malone, not creating stability in where the franchise was going to reside and committing to one coach and his vision for the foreseeable future. Those things really set back Demarcus and the franchise. It was a toxic relationship full throttle.
