Coming to you live from a tin can.
I don’t know, I’ve been a Sac Kings fan since the beggining and I just can’t get excited about this team anymore as long as Vivek is the owner. He’s shown he’s just one of them owners who will not let the GM make crucial player decisions, he just won’t. 👎🏽
I BELIEVE IN SCOTT PERRY! 👏👏
Mike Brown is the biggest dummy basketball mind in history he literally got rid of a point guard
Trade Zach Lavine for Miles Bridges if the Ja Morant conversation is real try to pick him up send Fultz and Keon Ellis to Miami to try to get Mitchell back Trade Monk for Dyson Daniels resign Jake LaRavia
Monte McNeir literally got rid of Davion Mitchell
Scott does what all good GM’s do, talked for a half an hour and really said absolutely nothing. Unfortunately, that is something that bad GM’s are also capable of doing. So at this point, we really don’t know much about Scott or what to expect during his upcoming tenure. We can only hope that it is very successful!
Same old song and dance. Wish he had taken a stronger stance about moving the franchise in a new direction. You're right Matt, we'll see when he starts making decisions, actions not words.
Snake oil salesman who knows what to say. Lets see what he does. Huff up the hopium while you can.
I’m going to choose to be hopeful. I like what he is saying, and will take him at his word for now. We know he meant what he said about Lavine in the original video though lol. Real Translation from this press conference “well, I’m sort of stuck with him now, so I have to make the most of his talent for now and hope for the best”. Good work, I always enjoy the podcast and look forward to it.
Unfortunately for Perry and ultimately us as fans, the cupboard is bare. No 1st round draft pick, no star we can trade to acquire young talent, immovable contracts. Our lone weapon to acquire young talent was DeAron Fox and Monty traded him for little to nothing. I see another 4-5 years of sub 500 play and no playoff appearances. I do like Scott Perry though and think he will pull the trigger on some moves that Monty McNair was maybe too timid to pull. Try to remain positive, try to remain positive, wuuussaaaa.
Vivek sell the team please. Not interested in this franchise anymore until we get an owner that doesn't actively work against the team's success.
So it’s different this time right?
I like what I've heard so far. However, as long as vivek is in the building. No GMs can save this team.
I forgot how much Perry sounds like a blaxplotation actor!
"I want a diversity of thought with the unity of purpose." That's powerful!
I love his attitude. Ima tell yall right now, if they let him have full desicion making he will turn us around.
It sounds like he wants Mike Brown as his head coach and honestly it would be bizarre and I would love it.
Let's be real though, this team needs to reset. There are a handful of players we should keep but 4 we should trade this off-season.
Once again, words mean nothing as of right now but it was refreshing to see a GM answer each question in a unique way and not some rehearsed response or dancing around it. Towards the end, McNair looked visibly irritable with the media.
If Perry’s whole thing is having experience, I feel like it would only make sense for him to choose a head coach with more experience too.
I’ve loved having Doug’s presence on the bench, but if they can land a more proven coach, I feel like theyd pull the trigger on it.
Gidder done!
Christie and the New GM sound alike too. The way they speak.
He's not succeeded anywhere else, don't get your hopes up.
Bs. Just words. Chances of turning this organization in positive directions, is small.
I hope I’m wrong.
DC is not ready, he got out coached and embarrassed in that last game.
It's tough to stay locked on the kings.
At this point sounds just like what we have heard before. Now can we have someone who can make it work. Let the new journey begin.
About the coachinhg identity Matt. When you said Christie makes a lot of sense as the coach for Scott Perry so is Taylor Jenkins (defensive minded, toughness, grit, etc). I'm just happy that he didn't automatically annoint Doug as the coach. I wouldn't be mad if Christie is the coach as long as he interviews other coaches which looks like he will be doing.
