Is John Salmons this generation's Kenny Thomas?

This certainly outlines things well. After going through this, my thought is why the hell did they sign Aaron Brooks? I realize the Maloofs may have only recently changed their minds on selling the team, so maybe they actually thought it was a good basketball move....but if they even were...

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who just got sick yesterday. For once in your life Grant - grow a spine and just tell the truth. Don't sound like an idiot and defend the indefensible.

Yes - team does get slightly better with Patterson, so they go from a 28 win team to a 29 win team? Patterson has hit his ceiling - an efficiently scoring big who is an ok defender who can't rebound a lick. With T-Rob, you still have no idea what he'll bring long-term and my main point is, why...

Above quote corrected.

All - I know that Napear has been ranted against for years in this forum and others I frequent (Sactownroyalty.com, et al) but for me I had always marginally enjoyed his show as background noise whenever I've had to drive places at that time in the afternoon. His antics and the way he treats...

When I see rumors like this I almost have to laugh. I think the source of these type of rumors is usually some stoned fan's blog. This is the "I see a potential great player in a crappy market who I think we can get for 5 cents on the dollar" pipe dream. There is very little the Celtics could...

Depressing to be in the lottery again. After so many years. Looking at the prospects, I think both Nerlens Noel and Shabazz Mohammed would be ideal.

No doubt. This was the best NBA rivalry in a long time. I was watching this game with my brother and dad when it happened. Crazy everyone was so impassioned back then.

Just looking ahead to the January/february schedule. Looks particularly brutal, although when you're a bad team, it always looks brutal. After the SA game on 3/1, the Kings will have played a stretch of games where 16 of 21 were on the road. The five home games in that stretch are against...

I think that we should keep in mind that the kid has played a grand total of 7 NBA games. If you go to the draft express website, he measured in at 6 foot 7.75 inches. To give some context, Blake Griffin measured in at 6 foot 8.5 inches, Al Horford 6 foot 8.75 inches, Kevin Love at 6 foot...

Attending the game last night was fun. Both teams were pretty sloppy and I tend to think a lot of early season basketball is going to be just that. Tyreke really played well in the 4th and reminded you why he's so good. He was clearly the biggest, fastest, quickest and strongest player on the...

No excitement until they actually specify how they plan on financing this thing.

The one thing I don't see most analysts talking about when analyzing this deal is how many big men in the NBA actually average double-doubles? Attitude aside, he's cheap, young and he averaged a double double in the last 20 games of the season. How much young PF's average double doubles...

This is one of those scenarios where columnists just invent scenarios for the sake of discussion without really analyzing how a deal would get done. With three max players, the chance that they convince Dalembert to play for the veteran's minimum or MLE in its current form is zilch when...

Well - yes - if you put Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen in their prime around them....it wouldn't matter how good they become. I maintain that our team's fate for the time being really is dependent on how good those two can be if we're going to be satisfied with them as our "stars".

I don't entirely disagree with you here. The fate of the Kings' next 5-10 years is tied in to how good DMC and Reke will end up becoming. If they're both all-stars, we could have an annual 50 win team. If they're both just above average, hello to 35-40 wins annually.

The #1 thing the Kings need right now is for Tyreke Evans and DeMarcus Cousins to improve to the point where they are all-star caliber players. I'm not sure it matters what sort of mish-mash of mediocre players you put together if your best two players aren't all-stars. Other than that, the...

Yes, nice article, accurately describes things, I just don't get the dig on Tyreke Evans at the end. Played injured all year and still had a decent season.

Your key statement here is that the City guarantees loan payment to the bond holders, which makes the funds public. No-one can complain about anybody getting into anybody else's business because they have a massive public funds loan they're probably going to go deadbeat on, and they're...
