wallcoo.net photo: Former player and now team president Vlade Divak and the front office of the Sacramento Kings are trying to figure out how to make the Kings a first round playoff team

The problem with the Sacramento Kings are trying thinking in the old traditional way to figure how to turn this team around like back in the days when their team president Vlade Divak was playing when Peja Stojakovic was playing, when Chris Weber was here. Those were all great players and I was around here when that was happening. What exciting times these were this town was abuzz with the Sacramento Kings.

The league was abuzz about the Kings, the problem was that was ten, 12, 13, years ago. That was 2000-2003 this is 2016-17 we are almost about to celebrate the new year going into 2017. The game has changed so dramatically over those last few years. You cannot at this point and time take a team that is so down and this team is down in so many ways but not at the fault of owner Vivek Ranadive, not a the fault of Vlade Divak, but you lay a lot of the mess of what the team is at the feet of the former owners the Maloof’s because they were more concerned about moving the team someplace where they could salvage the team.
