I hope they start a clean slate with the team. Isiah Thomas is bad. Don't know why he's starting. And jimmer fredette is Adam Morrison 2.0

Im amazed at the amount of people that will forgive the NBA for what happened here. I was a season ticket holder for many years and have seen more NBA games than any other sport by a mile. What happened was criminal. The NBA is a joke and has been in decline since the early 90's. Gone are all the great personalites, replaced by a bunch of classless punks.
No thanks. I have not watched a single NBA game since the Supes left and I never will. I will vote with my wallet. The NBA has to be accountable at some point.

If you havnt watched how do you know its so horrible? I think the NBA is as good and entertaning right now as its been since the prime of Jordan, Pippen, Barkley, etc, etc. Of course there are a few punks but most of the stars are really good, marketable dudes. _________________

Question: Do you guys think the Kings might tank the rest of the way now to try and secure a high lottery pick? I don't know if anyone in the College ranks is a sure-fire #1, maybe someone can expand on that.

The draft this year doesn't have a marquee name, some good players but no one to get wet over. Next year if this Wiggins kid declares, that's the year to tank.

That's kinda what I thought. Just curious. Also, it seems like someone always emerges towards the end of the season that stands out though. We'll see.

A few weeks ago I would have said Shabazz Mohammad from UCLA because i've been hearing hype about him for a few years. Watched him for the first time the other day though and was not impressed. Looked like an average player who makes a lot of bad decisions. Here's a 2013 NBa mock draft with just the players slotted in order to give an idea of the prospects. http://www.draftexpress.com/nba-mock-draft/2013/_________________

Congrats, Sonics fans, now do your due diligence and actually attend the games, even when the team sucks.

The people of Seattle did show up to games until it was gutted and ran into the ground for the purpose of eventually moving it. its complete horseshit to say we didn't support our team.
