If we all ask nicely, maybe LeBron James will buy the Kings

Writer Ian Goodwillie argues that LeBron James should buy the Sacramento Kings once he retires from his NBA playing career. The author contends that managing co-owner Vivek Ranadive is the core source of the franchise's ongoing struggles, citing only a single first-round playoff appearance in nearly 14 years of ownership.

Goodwillie criticizes Ranadive for micromanagement and coaching turnover, including the departures of Mike Malone and Mike Brown, while Doug Christie serves as head coach. The piece suggests that James has the basketball knowledge, business acumen, and profile required to lead an ownership group to buy out Ranadive.
