Are you kidding me? Not to pick on you, but I've read this type of comment many times from several posters. Just how many teams out there do you think consider these three players a real threat? Honestly. Don't get me wrong, because they are good players. But great? Bibby's never been...

Ailene's column was really nothing more than ANOTHER dig at Adelman. Phil is gone. Rick is the Kings coach again next season. It must pain her to no end...

Catalyst, While I agree that the 4 needs attention, I respectfully disagree it's the biggest area of concern for the Kings. IMO, the Kings need to focus on improving at the 5. As you suggest, big men are rare. But if the Kings had a decent center to establish a low post presence (something...

Easy to say because there's no way the Lakers trade him. But let's be real, VF. Ego aside, Kobe is arguably one of the best in the game. Any GM would salivate over the thought of him donning their team's uni. And if people are willing to discuss trading for a headcase like Artest, acquiring a...

He may still run in another system, but how would we know? He's only played in Coachie's system. I won't argue that Peja has to make his own shot often, and in fact, presses too hard at times. But when he puts his mind to it, he can be one of the best players to move without the ball in the...

Oh, I think Bibby is definately terrific trade material. Especially as part of a high-profile trade with other quality players. The problem is, IMO, there are not many other PGs - FAs or signed players - that would represent an upgrade at the PG position for the Kings. So if Bibby was to be...

Got it. I lumped the MLE into your discussion regarding exemptions, well, because it is an exemption. An exemption not influenced by any trades or existing agreements...

whozit, That's not necessarily true. The Kings have the MLE to use this season, regardless of any of the trades that happened this past year. That amount will probably be close to $5 million. And when/if Mobley walks, he walks out the door with one of those "trade" expemtions you are...

Onezero, IMO, I think you are making more out this than you should. And I don't believe anyone is suggsting you are "less a fan" because you started watching them a few years ago. You think they have a chance to compete and possibly make a run at the title. Good for you. I wish I had that same...

How can it NOT be the year? Realistically, what choices will GP have? There are far too many open holes in the Kings roster to stand pat. Heck, it would be MORE difficult for Petrie to assemble a team by not inflating the payroll (or at least keeping it around the same as this past season -...

No.

Renew, or not to renew... 1kingzfan and I have discussed the issue of renewing season tickets many, many times. Everything he wrote in his explanation touches a part of the thought process I went through before last season with respect to renewing my seats of 10 years. But the above excerpt...

From yesterday... Whozit, I don't get wrapped up in the "whos". It's something I've never really exerted a lot of energy over, since nobody but GP and the Maloofs really know until something happens. My point about Bibby is purely from a trade perspective and the potential value he...

Actually, they were raised around NBA ownership. So as you suggest, it's in their collective blood. Their mother sold the Houston Rockets in 1984 after their father passed away. Ever since, Joe and Gavin have longed for a chance to own another franchise. I'm with Bricklayer here: There's a...

Not a chance Bibby is no team leader. He is a point guard; a leader on the court on a defacto basis. The ball needs to be in his hands. That doesn't appoint him as the team leader. And just because he says he is, doesn't make it so. I'm encouraged by his desire to take the reins, but that's...

Regarding the Trade What I don't understand is why people continue to post comments like "look at the depth", or "now we have three large contracts to move instead of one massive agreement". Please! Last I checked, the Kings got bounced in the first round against a team many were glad to...

TD, I understand the reason the trade was made. I thought I made that clear in my first post. My bad if I didn't. Making the moves to unload a player's salary/commitment was the motivating factor. I understand that. But I cannot allow myself to get caught up in the "what if's" with respect to...

Everyone knows why the Kings made the trade. And when you peel back the onion, that is exactly what makes it hard to stomach as a Kings fan: Throwing in the towel. Basically, they did the deal to dump Webber's contract, while sacrificing the season along the way. And if you really believe this...

Not true. With respect to Sacto's issue, David Stern has already gone on record as saying if a new arena isn't built for the Kings, he would support the Brothers Maloof if they moved the team. In addition to the arena woes, Sacramento already has a dilemma with hotel availability/capacity...
