And the fans don't rejoice. Because the fans have been following Sactown Royalty's open draft thread. And the fans now that, as David Stern will reveal just moments later, that "there has been a trade."

The Kings now have four guards on the roster, with a max height of 6'4.

The Kings go into the season with a DeMarcus Cousins-Chuck Hayes-Tyler Zeller big man rotation.

The world is a dark, cruel place. Any hint of sunlight is destroyed.

Playing the trade game at this point is a scary prospect for any Kings fan. There are massive wins — Thornton-Landry sticks out — and massive losses (that Salmons thing). And hearing that Petrie is looking to add instant impact is even more frightening: it's desperate, and it mortgages the future. The idea that Petrie could do something similar haunts me.

I am haunted.

I am haunted.
