In this week’s episode of The Pickaxe Podcast, I am joined by Greg Wissinger, associate editor of Sactown Royalty, the SB Nation Sacramento Kings blog. We discussed the many ways in which the Kings and Nuggets have been on similar trajectories and have criss-crossing paths over the last three seasons. We also discussed a few of the ways that the Nuggets and Kings are very different. Namely, the two contrasting styles of the teams’ owners, the GM with ties to the history of the organization, and the way the fanbases love/hate George Karl.
