NBA Fans wasted no time reacting after comments from Kings general manager Scott Perry made the rounds this week. Speaking about the future of the franchise, Perry suggested it could take another three to five years to fully turn things around. That quote alone was enough to light up social media.
@TheDunkCentral summed it up bluntly: “Kings GM Scott Perry is trying to convince ownership that it could take another 3–5 years to turn the franchise around.”

Once that hit timelines, NBA Fans responded with the kind of humor only long-term disappointment can produce.
One reply from @jbondwagon captured the mood perfectly: “What’s 3-5 more years? Kings fans have been waiting since forever [laughing emoji].”
One can feel that this is uncomfortably close to the truth. Sacramento has spent much of the last two decades cycling through rebuilds, new coaches, and fresh promises.
Even media accounts joined in. @RotoWire posted a caption reading “Turning the Kings franchise around” with a GIF of Austin Powers endlessly going back and forth while trying to turn a cart in a tiny tunnel. No explanation needed. NBA Fans instantly got the point.
The reaction shows how thin the patience has become. This situation isn’t just about one front office comment. Until results show up on the court, timelines sound more like punchlines. And right now, NBA Fans are laughing more out of disbelief than amusement.
NBA Fans Roast Kings After Another Loss as Frustration Boils Over
NBA Fans did not need another explanation after Sacramento’s latest result. Shortly after the game, the official @SacramentoKings account posted a simple message: “FINAL: Kings fall to the Pacers, 116-105.” No graphics, no hype, just the score.
FINAL: Kings fall to the Pacers, 116-105.
👑 Russell Westbrook: 24 PTS, 14 AST, 13 REB
👑 DeMar DeRozan: 20 PTS, 5 REB
👑 Zach LaVine: 16 PTS, 3 AST— Sacramento Kings (@SacramentoKings) December 9, 2025
That quiet post spoke volumes, and NBA Fans filled the silence with frustration.
One response from @BallLikeRuss cut deep: “You guys have been losing for the whole 20 years I’ve been on earth, I’m sure you’re a professional basketball team.”
It was harsh, but it echoed a feeling many NBA Fans already share.
Another comment shifted focus to the roster. @HiMyNameIsJC_ wrote, “Get Russ on a contender. I can’t watch Lavine hoop anymore. Dude is a traffic cone defensively. DeRozan is DEFROZAN in December.”
The comment quickly circulated among NBA Fans who feel the team’s pieces still do not fit.
This loss came at a time when patience is already worn down. NBA Fans see losses stack up while leadership talks about long-term plans. The disconnect between the message and the results continues to grow.
Social media reactions have become louder because the pattern feels familiar. A loss followed by silence, followed by talk of future fixes. NBA Fans have heard it all before.
Until wins replace words, frustration will keep spilling into every comment section. For NBA Fans, another final score is no longer just a result. It is a reminder of how long the wait has felt, and how uncertain the road ahead still looks.
