i'm ready for a legit reason to switch teams anyway. too many years of this ********.we need to do DMC a favor and trade him
I've been hearing awful stuff about Vivek outside the forum worlds and while I have no faith in one of the sources, the person is regularly credentialed to shoot games on the court so he may have access to people that do actually know things. Everything from the routine FO missteps we talk about here to the way the players off court lives are being (mis)managed. I really don't want to believe it and I hope that as much truth there is to it can be explained by naivety curable by a disaster like what we're currently experiencing.
Well this conversation came up when I ranted against the Kings FO, he said "It's not the FO, it's Vivek" (I consider Vivek part of the FO, but whatever).
And you know what's scary, I kind of believe it. Because I don't think PDA would fire the coach midseason while enjoying the best success in years. I mean, that kind of move calls for PDA being fired at the end of this season if it backfires, which it completely has.
Just to sum it up without going into unsubstantiated territory, that Vivek is behind pretty much every controversial decision and there are a lot of behind the scenes like how players spend their free time that are being micro/mismanaged with the potential to backfire. Also noted that the focus is on moving season tickets for next year and beyond and not the current product and would pull players from training or other places for marketing pursuits.
There is more that I can't confirm so I'm going to leave it at that.
I don't really trade in rumors, I'm just saying I have heard enough to change my opinion that Vivek may have just hired the wrong people around him to that he may really be the problem. I resisted this notion for longer than a lot around here. I don't really think some of the rumors are even important as much as it was a big deal to hear it from someone who is press credentialed and not a regular part of the internet Kings community. It can be an echo chamber in the forums, but when you go outside you hear a lot of varied opinions. And this criticism was harsher than anything I've ever heard online. I'm just going to leave it at that.
