24. Sacramento Kings – 28.5
Prediction: Under
Can someone please explain to me what’s going on in Sacramento?
Never have I seen an NBA team make so many poor decisions over and over and over again.
To illustrate my point, here’s a short list highlighting some of their dismal moves from this offseason:
- Failed to acquire a much needed big man to pair next to DeMarcus Cousins.
- Replaced Isaiah Thomas with Darren Collison.
- Drafted guard Nik Stauskas despite the fact that sophomore Ben McLemore plays the same position.
Does any of this make the slightest bit of sense?
Not only did Sacramento give away a star point guard for a mediocre one, but they’ve also created a two way battle between their two previous draft picks (McLemore and Stauskas).
You’d figure after years of failure the Kings would have an idea of how to actually improve their team, but instead, they’re once again slated to finish at the bottom of the standings, thanks to a string of bad choices.
