I know this sounds like a crazy question, but there's simply too much evidence backing it up not at least mention it. It's kinda like "NBA is rigged" phenomenon that we just witnessed. The officiating in the postseason was so bad for so long that an idea that was once so laughable built up into an actual topic of debate. Well, the Sacramento Kings organizational decisions have been so bad for so long that it's impossible not to question the intent behind them. As far as I can tell, the only thing that every last one of them have in common is that they have pissed off their franchise player. It's almost as if the Kings GM doesn't consider his job well done unless he puts the phone down after completing a transaction, immediately logs onto Twitter, and sees a vague, yet aggressively passive aggressive DeMarcus Cousins post. Pete D'Alessandro can't comfortably lay his head to rest unless he knows his star center is wide awake, angrily staring up at the ceiling into the wee hours of the night. Do we really need further confirmation that the Kings have devoted an era of their franchise history to making their best player's life a living hell? Last year, with the #6 pick, they drafted an offensive blackhole - at the same position Cousins plays - that needs more seasoning than the Cleaver's turkey dinner. They followed that up by keeping the most hated man within the franchise -the head coach - around for the entirety of the year. I am pretty sure there was at least 3-4 times last season where George Karl already had every single one of his belongings packed and a flight booked. Usually General Managers have to call up coaches to let them go, but the Kings had to call up their head coach to make sure he knew he was still employed. Then, they finally let the snake in the grass slither pack out to pasture, and they decide to draft YET ANOTHER offensively inept big man that to clog the lane in which DeMarcus Cousins makes a living? It feels as if they are willingly trying to shoot his trade value through the basement floor, but I'm pretty sure they don't even want to trade the most valuable asset they possess - they want him to have a complete mental breakdown instead. The way the Sacramento Kings have been structured makes no sense if their primary goal is to win a championship in the next decade, but it makes perfect sense if their primary goal is to make DeMarcus Cousins commit suicide. Let that marinate for a second before you call me a halfwit.
