Team 25.

The Sacramento Kings

Sac-Town! Boogie Cousins! Jimmer! I love the Kings, that being said I wish they were the Sonics. Poor Kings fans, they were stuck with terrible Maloof brothers for what seems like forever, now the whole nation wants them to not have a team. Talk about cursed. But Kings fans can find solace in one thing, this is Boogie's team now! Early word out of Sac-Town is that Boogie actually likes new coach Mike Malone. Which is like saying Stan Van Gundy doesn't like Diet Coke.

Unfortunately this line-up still looks like a pick up team. The new leaders in Sac-Town have a lot of work to do turning this roster over.

3 Things I Love about the Sacramento Kings

1. Obviously I love Boogie.
2. Greivis Vasquez alley oops.
3. The potential name change to the Sac-Town SuperSonics. Life is about compromise.

3 Things I hate about the Sacramento Kings/Sac-Town SuperSonics

1. Jimmer Fredette being stuck on the wrong side of the bench. :/
2. A team having 55 power forwards on the roster.
3. Isaiah Thomas not being Isiah Thomas.

Most compelling Storyline of the 2013-2014 Season

Boogie Cousins' mental state, or lack there of. There are brief moments in time each game when Boogie looks like he could take the NBA and stomp it out 82 times a year plus playoffs. But then Joey Crawford calls him for traveling and he turns into Sideshow Bob. Cussing at coaches, teammates, fans, roommates, dogs, cats, helicopter enthusiasts, anyone close enough to be scowled at.

If Boogie can keep it together he could make the all-star team this year, but that's a big if.

One Trade to Make the Sac-Town SuperSonics Better

I'm going for something bold here.

Sac-Town SuperSonics trade: Patrick Peterson's expiring, Ben Mclemore, Jimmer Fredette, and a future first round pick

Boston Celtics trade: Rajon Rondo

This trade is all about Jimmer. His talents are being wasted in Sacramento, Boston knows this and wants to take advantage.

Sorry, that was the alternate universe I live in, Jimmer Fredette is actually good at basketball in that one. This trade assumes Boston wants to tank, which seems to be the consensus opinion around the league. What better team to trade Rondo to? The headcase duo of Rondo and Cousins makes me as giddy as Stan Van Gundy in a Diet Coke factory(one Stan Van/Diet Coke reference wasn't enough for this post.) The alley oops alone would be worth buying the NBA season pass to watch the Sac-Town SuperSonics every night.

Boston gains two high potential assets in Ben McLemore and an extra first rounder in the 2014 draft, a must in any Rondo deal.

The only loser in this trade is Sac-Town head coach Mike Malone, who would probably take a trip to Belize if you know what I mean.

Question to Sac-Town SuperSonics General Manager Pete D'Alessandro

Can I call you Pete? Sweet. So Pete, have you and the rest of the new Sac-Town front office cleaned all of the Maloof stench out of Sleep Train Arena(THE NAME OF THE KINGS ARENA IS SLEEP TRAIN!!!)? Also, what will the new Arena be called in Sacramento? May I suggest keeping it the same please.

Sac-Town's Position in the Jersey Power Rankings

30.

The last place jersey. It's so bad. The font looks like a very talented 3 year old drew it and purple doesn't belong on anything other than....nothing. Purple should not be on anything, purple sucks.

Also America was founded on the belief that Kings are a bummer.
