I don't care what people say about Geoff Petrie, he has some esoteric qualities. That's a fact and it's not arguable.

Yep, sure looks like we're going down that road to me too. Maybe that's why I'm starting to think in terms of things Ron actually has done instead of just focussing on what he might do, someday, maybe, if he were coached right and had his head on straight. He's done surprisingly little for...

Maybe it was a bad comparison...I'm saying his natural game doesn't suit the volume scorer comparisons. On offense he's more of a guy who'll give you 15-20 points but if you expect more like we have, you run into problems like we have. Sure, he can have a KG-like impact on a game at times. My...

Hey that's pretty interesting actually. I don't think its awful at all what he said, guess the mistake was saying it to the media and getting on AI's bad side though. Kinda tells you something about who the team player is here. God forbid someone else besides AI should miss some shots. I...

A draft pick too would be fantastic but I think I'd just do it straight up at this point. The Artest train is rumbling downhill and the end of the line is his contract is up and he bolts. And it could come off the tracks worse before then. :) So why not, Maggette is a tradeable piece and...

I keep seeing people refer to Artest as variations of "impact player", "top 15 talent" and etc. Like we think we could trade him for an allstar or something. I don't really see Ron that way anymore. And I'm not arguing the potential isn't there, just like everyone I watched him be an impact...

Ehh, its not that complicated really. (IMO): The Artest camp, which includes his agent or friends or whatever, needs to make himself still look like a viable player that a franchise would risk a big long-term contract on. So if you tiptoe up to the line and dance on it a little but then back...

Very nice. And, its not the first time I've thought this in a maloof interview, but he seems really high on douby.

Awesomely cryptic. Go GP go! Stupid media writers running around oodling like hens. I have to remember that one, how did the finger one go again? Actually I think Geoff is fairly easy to read once you accept the fact that he is partly a public relations man and part of his job is to either...

I think he does a fine job and that the team needs that utility player who can come off the bench or do some starting, shift positions maybe, as needed. SAR still scores it pretty efficiently but on this side of his career he's probably best as part of the bench core. I don't expect him to...

Why wouldn't he want to come back, he seemed like a small town sort of player who was happy enough to be here. We tried to win now with vets but no reason for him to take it personal, he ended up in a much better situation by being one of the frontmen for a young team. He's going to sign a...

I think he just means that Storey got unlucky because he happened to pop the right spot to put the kid out like a light so his head met the floor. Things like that happen in real world fights with strong grown men, sometimes they flail away without much damage and sometimes totally random...

What we have is a new coach and a ballhog and a shooter who thrived on open looks from a system not hitting shots. wtf, its like bibby just moved to town and caused all this. You can fault him all you want but he's right up there with peja and vlade as a main cog on a good kings team. maybe...

I'm not sure what that means really.....Mike can't carry a team superstar-style...is that what you mean? A lot of teams win titles with worse PGs than Mike Bibby, even the this year Mike. I'm sure we do need a superstar to ever think about winning a title. Teams aren't lining up to trade us...

Hell yes! And twice on sunday. I think I'm all the way off the bandwagon now, just hoping to get rid of him before things get worse and hopefully get a halfway decent trade for him. There's no way a team gives up a star or even potential star (probably) for him. Draft pick would be awesome...

Bit of a nitpick, but without even addressing matchups and bench help...no we can't. Mike Bibby is paid too much to be tradeable, especially if he's sitting on your bench. If you want to trade Mike its better to play him big minutes. (and run plays to get him open looks, gotta pump up the...

The Portland comparison is interesting to me because I lived up there for awhile and the situation is similar. That team is a joke right now after a long slide that began right about where we're at right now: after failing to reach the top they got desparate and just started trying to add...

Weird I thought this thread was going to be about Salmon's triple double. Great signing, that Salmons. Looking like a 6th man of year type (not that we'd be in the running for any kind of award of course) candidate to me and 5 million a year or whatever isn't a bad deal to lock up a very...

I think its more like David Stern is sending a clear message to the stars of this league that this is NOT the way to sell sneakers.

Whups, my mistake. (again) Some of the same re-injury risk still applies though, I'm just leery of assuming players will get back to full speed after those major injuries.
