Rumors of coach Dave Joerger being on the hot seat due to rotation issues were brought forth last Saturday, causing the entire Kings fan base to let out a collective groan.
Ahh, yes. These were the Kings we know and loathe. The dysfunctional laughing stock of the NBA. The team with the longest current playoff drought. The franchise that trades away future first-round picks, completely unprotected, for the cap space to sign an underwhelming crop of free agents.
The “fire your coach after a shockingly good first 15 games” feeling was all too familiar.
