The Kings Flew Buddy Hield Into Sacramento On A Regular Old Flight

Just when you thought the hapless Kings couldn’t possibly bumble their way through the DeMarcus Cousins trade any worse than they already have, they go and do something like this. Over the past two days, we’ve peeled back the onion skin layers of their ineptitude, and it’s enough to make fans in Sacramento cry.

First, there was Boogie learning about his trade in the middle of a press conference at All-Star Weekend, then there was general manager Vlade Divac’s admission that he could’ve gotten a better deal (a fact that was immediately obvious to everyone), and last but not least, there was enigmatic owner Vivek Ranadive’s wildly-optimistic belief that Buddy Hield just might be the next Steph Curry.

The organization has justifiably taken a lot of heat for how they’ve mishandled this whole process, and on Tuesday they added more fuel to the already-raging dumpster fire when it was revealed that Hield, Tyreke Evans, and Langston Galloway had to take a commercial flight to Sacramento, while the Pelicans reportedly sent their coach and general manager on the owner’s private jet to retrieve their new All-Star big man.

We’re assuming that somebody in the franchise is going to get fired for something at some point, but then again, we’re still talking about the Kings.
