I lived in Sacramento for 3 years, and it always surprises me how poorly it is regarded nationally. Great weather, Tahoe, close to the Bay Area. I have a cousin who moved to Memphis, and I’ve traveled to Salt Lake, Indianapolis and a few of the other “non-glamour” NBA cities , and I would take Sac over any of them.

Bingo. Bango. We have a winner! It took Redford 11 paragraphs to say exactly what you precisely said in 1. Nobody is winning with Cousins as the focal point on any team. He is the millennials version of Antoine Walker. God don’t like ugly Sacramento and this is what you get for electing Kevin Johnson...TWICE!
