Luke Walton should be fired

The Sacramento Kings have been one of the biggest disappointments of the NBA regular season so far. They’ve started 0-3 and frankly look nothing like the exciting, competitive squad from a year ago.

And a lot of the blame should be put on the shoulders of new head coach, Luke Walton. Their defense has been pretty poor but it’s their offense which has me more concerned.

There seems to be very little player movement off the ball which is baffling, considering they have Buddy Hield on the roster – a guy who should be utilized like a JJ Redick type player.

What a lot of their offensive possessions end up coming down to are simply hoping that one of their top guys (usually Fox, Hield or Barnes) can just make something happen.

Unless they can turn things around in a hurry, I expect Walton to be on the hot seat sooner rather than later.
