The guy single handedly created our culture, identity, and confidence
Taught the young guys how to be alpha males
A true leader

You mean the guy who's more serious about his music than basketball and considers himself a rapper before all else created your team's culture? No wonder the Kings are fked up.

I haven't followed your team enough this year to truly assess his impact but from on the outside looking in, he seemed to have turned a corner in his career (being a leader, starting a number of games etc)
That said, Barnes also seems like a tangible upgrade no?

Its crazy he got traded cause Iman really loved playing with the young core.He even deferred to fox when he himself (iman) was on fire......He never did that shit with LeBron and if he did he would pout like a bch when he had to give the ball to LeBron so he could initiate the offense.
He really had you boys playing hard.Yall were in it til the end, in almost every game he played this season.I noticed it OP, tough loss for the team but hopefully for yall, the culture continues even with the vets leaving.Trading for Barnes is Vlade's way of going all in on making a playoff push.
Sadly, i think it will backfire and yall will get worse.Barnes doesnt make any team better but maybe im wrong on that

Well said. :applause:
Barnes just brings them more of what they already have and not more of what they need IMO.

Offense wins games in this league.
Barnes is a better offensive player, good 3-point shooter.
This trade will make the Kings better. That's why Lebron was so shook on Instagram :oldlol:

Keeping Shump would keep our locker room strong and heading into the final 30 ish games in my opinion
There has to be way for Vlade to keep Shump and still get Harrison Barnes
Get rid of ZBo and add Koufos or something
Shump was literally our identity
We better bring him back in the offseason
What he did for the Kings this season was the most leadership I've seen by any NBA player ever, call me crazy

Big ****in problems?
Iman Shumpert is responsible for the best locker room environment in the league
Who creates great locker rooms? LeBron? Mr BITW? **** no. Look at that Laker locker room rn, it's a complete joke whereas the Kings players couldnt get enough of each other
Before the season, the only team projected to win less then us was the Hawks
Want to know the difference between last year and this year? Confidence and identity
And whos playing major minutes, starting at SF, that we didn't have last year?
Iman Shumpert.
He may be a joke in Cleveland where LeBron kills true organic team spirit...
But in Sac that man was the best leader in the NBA by far
