Final Thoughts
It has been a rough 25 hours for Sacramento Kings fans. They just suffered the news that LeBron James will be heading to their rival team, the Los Angles Lakers. Now they have to endure watching DeMarcus Cousins, a player they admire, play with the Golden State Warriors, arguably the second most despised team Kings fans have on their list.
Although the Sacramento Kings have exciting times ahead of them due to the mass amount of young talent they have on their roster, it will be years until the purple and white can be a legit contender.
These next couple of seasons will be tough for Kings fans as their team will keep learning and getting better while their two rival teams will be heavy favorites to win the NBA championship.
Hang in there, Kings fans. I am rooting for you all.
