There are certainly a few holes in the roster, but I am dumbfounded Kings can't make playoffs.

Rondo
Collison
McLemore
Gay
Casspri
Acy
Koufos
Cauley-Stein
Cousins
 
Not nearly as bad as I thought. 14th in league in offensive efficiency. Better than us.
 
Just add Patrick Ewing and I'm sure you get to WCF. That falls on the yes/no spectrum.
 
I think they're a perfect example of a whole being LESS than the sum of its parts.

I think coaching is certainly part of fixing that issue, but there are many others - players' skill sets complimenting each other's, the organization empowering the coach, the players checking their egos at the door and buying in, etc.

Quin is an exceptional coach but that roster/franchise seems to have some deeply rooted issues these days. I wouldn't touch that job with a 10 foot pole.
 
The only really nice piece on the entire team is Cousins. Everyone else is just bleh. Then throw in the mental make-up of the roster and you have a nice recipe for disaster.
 
More than enough talent, but two too many head cases: Rondo and Boogie. For goodness sake, Carlisle has best command of player respect as any coach in the NBA, and look what Rondo did there. George Karl walked into a train wreck and walked out of a wrecked train. The culture is broken and unfixable without a roster and leadership overhaul.

Had Malone st I as coach, but d say yes, but this franchise has no stability and don't grow any continuity in any one system. The firing of Malone shows the ineptitude of the owner and overall management of this team. This is a team that will perpetually be in a state of going no where and young and stupid who will never play like a vet team. Think the Jazz over the last few years. Only difference is they are improving and learning to win

I'm not so sure you can even no what you say.
 
that team could make the playoffs if they smoked ganja and did bikram yoga together while listening to enya followed by green smoothies
 
Had Karl just run Ranadive's cherry-pick offense, the Kings would have won 60 games. Seriously, a meddling owner who thinks an NBA team can be patterned after his daughter's HS team has no business owning a franchise.

Just when Cousins starts clicking with a coach he respects, the coach gets fired. I don't blame Boogie. Yes, he's immature and throws tantrums. But the poor guy has suffered by playing for the absolute WORST owners in the league. First the Maloofs and now Ranadive.
