    Geoff Petrie Jumped the Shark When...

    Is the "Petrie Show" slated for syndication? Maybe. But at the end of the day you rarely take a franchise back to the heights of title contention without a top tier superstar. The problem is that they are very difficult to acquire -especially without drafting consistently in the lottery. I...

    Tyson Chandler...

    I'd be real careful for what you asked for with Tyson. I know he's young, tall and athetlic (not to mention the allure of an elite lottery pick), but if he's so great why is he apparently being shopped so hard? I followed him a bit last year and while I know he was dealing with asthma issues...

    In Petrie we trust!

    I think Petrie subscribes to the school of thought when drafting where you pick the most talented player available (especially in the mid to late rounds) and not to fill your biggest need. The rationale being that if you focus on need, you'll eventually mold a roster with lesser talent but with...

    Trade Shareef??

    Anyone remember the Brad Miller of old. You know the hunk of meat that would plug up the middle, throw his weight around, and generally aggravate oppenents' big men to no end. The guy who'd mix in a 15ft set shot between a few hard fouls.. We need THAT Brad Miller, before he was tempted...

    Bee: Draft options many for the Kings

    Agree with the first point, that if we can upgrade defensively in the middle we should. If you bring in a new, young forward then one of your two "starting" forwards needs to go as there aren't enough minutes for all. I think that KT is a better, quicker, more athletic player than SAR, and as...

    Bee: Draft options many for the Kings

    Yes, you've caught me. This is really Aileen Voison and to answer your questions...yes, yes, yes, and yes. That being said, I don't think it takes an insider to realize that the Kings of last year were winning with a hustling defensive mind set, that Rick Adleman was let go because he is an...

    Bee: Draft options many for the Kings

    While I know we're thin at backup PG, and already log-jammed at forward, I wouldn't mind seeing the Kings target a defensive minded true PF/C to augment the new defensive scheme that's being created around Artest. Saer Sene sounds like a long term project. Hilton Armstrong anyone? If the "new"...

    Knight on the Block...

    I would say that 6'1" is definitely on the small end for a PG and a bona-fide midget for a SG, which he would have to play with Knight on the floor. Would argue that Bibby's really a SG anyway, just trapped in a PG's body.

    Big Z on the Block...

    One thing that does bother me about Z are his feet. If memory serves he's already had microfracture surgery on one or both of his clod hoppers, and during a season I think he misses more than a little time with foot injuries....not to say that Brad Miller is the epitome of perfect health.

    NBA beat: Free agency likely is Peja's big bank shot

    At the end of the day I just don't see how any team can offer a max deal to a one tool player and remain a contender. If you're going to bind yourself financially for such a length of time, the player you're investing in has to do more for your team than just shoot the ball. Thinking of...

    Steven Hunter

    Holy Smokes. Sounds like someone trying to sell a home in Natomas. Scratch him from the list.

    Steven Hunter

    What kind change is Dahlembert after? How aggressive will the Sixers be to keep him -wasn't he in the dog house for much of the season? Sure like the idea of sliding Brad to the 4.
