    Oh Boy, Kings look set with players

    I remember this point - and this thread - and had come to feel that this season was not going to be pretty. My typically-pessimistic view at the time was that we got WORSE in the offseason, and the coming season was going to be ugly. At this point, can't say I'm surprised. I'm not upset, for...

    Kings place Taylor on waivers (merged)

    A-Men to that! Hopefully Justin gets signed and receives more PT. Our current PF/Backup C's have made their case...there quality of play can only get so much better or worse. Conversely, Justin has alot of upside, seemingly great enthusiasm, and determination...and rebounding skills to boot...

    Darko Milicic?

    Seriously, great idea Brick. If we can't get Vlade, the Kings are in definite need of some veteran/specialist coaching staff to teach our young guys & developing players. Think Kareem & Bynum...or Coachie & Martin. Back on topic - what does everybody see as the potential teams that would...

    Gasol as a King?

    I don't think Gasol will be coming here anytime soon. He requested a trade from Memphis because they are rebuilding with young players...think Rudy Gay/Lowry/Johnson/Oden lineup. The Kings are most likely to "go young" as well, that is, once management (finally) loses patience with their...

    Darko Milicic?

    I would love to get Darko, but not for $60m. He's simply not worth it. Right now, he's a definite $7m/yr player...but some teams are equally desperate and dumb enough to fork over a 8-figure salary to an unproven big. Signing Darko for such a large salary would limit the Kings from signing...

    Kreider's last day at the Bee, too

    Always liked his striaghtforward articles - great insight & no bull. Why can't Ailene leave...oh wait, US Weekly isn't hiring a sportswriter at the moment.

    How we rebuilt the last time

    I loved Oden's facial expression when he made that last block...can't see it in the highlight unfortunately...

    Kings @ Raptors Game Thread

    Quick thought, wasn't Mr. St. Jean fired after seven straight losses and a losing season, courtesy Geoff Petrie? Perhaps seven is the magic number...but I'd rather unload contracts over our stopgap coach.

    Simple Sacto/NJ deal

    I'd rather go for youth & have an asset that will grow, not decline. Think Hot Sauce aka Hassan Adams.

    2007 Draft

    Good point, but the teams that you mentioned...Atlanta, Clippers, et al...made some very poor decisions in the "rebuilding" process, such as dumb draft choices (Atlanta is notorious) and bad FA moves. I believe that letting the team "tank" (ie allow developing younger players more minutes &...

    Sacbee:Marty Mac's World: Kings are mistreating Hart, his agent says

    While I don't think Hart is a worthy backup PG for this team, better communication is clearly needed between management and his agent. Hart and other expiring contracts should be traded away for draft picks or other, more promising expiring contract players. We know that Hart and Potapenko...

    Cool clip showing how NBA gms work

    Man, that was interesting! Intriguing to see how such a respected GM works in action. It'd be great if they did this kind of programming for all GM's during the next draft.

    Possible free agents signings and moves summer 2007!

    As for the 2007 FA market, I think the Kings should focus on signing young, promising, and cheap talent. This would be great for rebuilding & allowing cap space should a superstar or two become available. Additionally, this strategy would really get Arco more enthused with a bunch of ambitious...

    Who do you think will be the next kings coach?

    I wouldn't expect Muss to get the boot until mid-next season to summer 2008. He's not completely at fault for the Kings performance right now...don't forget that our roster is mediocre and the players don't mix well. To really understand who's going to replace Muss, we need to know what...

    I'm calling it... we suck

    Long time reader here and hate to chime in when the team is in such a trough. First off, I really like the brutal honesty that alot of fans have come to face: this team DOES suck. The problem is shared between the mix of players and coaching staff. Our PF's are completely inneffective and do...
