Thanks Brick .... that helps me a bunch!!! I finally have some kind of an understanding of the Luxury Tax ... great information ... for me at least. :)

I believe .500 is asking/expecting too much from such a young team. All of the young guys need minutes to develop their individual game as well as working and start gelling as a team. I will be very surprised if our record improves from last year ... neither good nor bad ... just the learning...

I think Nocioni has a 5 yr $45 + mil contract (4 yrs remaining) ... something like that. I don't especially like this trade.

This deal is worse than the Gasol deal. The Lakers just posture and wait for teams to give them Championship peices for absolutely nothing. At least they gave up a 2nd and a young for Gasol. WE get absolutely NOTHING!!!!!

Wow, you guys seem to want to get rid of Ron so bad you have forgotten about the "KINGS". What do we get out of this ... nothing that I can see. I want to see Ron out of Sac as much as anyone, but we have to have something for him to make us, even if just a possibility, better. Odom is...

I agree and I wouldn't have been surprised if he had really lashed out. Artest was totally wrong to bring "Mama Maloof" into his ravings ... they are too close knit a family for them to be happy and sit quietly about that. I think Joe had to say something ... and I thought he was very...

Maybe Riley thinks he can control Artest and that he will be easier to sign to a 5/6 year deal and will fit the Heat better than Marion. Artest is 1-1/2 yrs younger than Marion and that can be a big deal also at their ages. Hey, we thought we could control his antics and maybe with Riley and a...

I agree, but they may be interested in Odom & Douby. That is why I threw out the 3 way (King/Lakers/Clips) trade to ponder upon.

3 Way Instead of 2 I'm not sure if I'm happy with Odom for a number of reasons ... so how about this. Kings out: Artest KT Douby Kings get: Tim Thomas Thornton Lakers out: Odom Lakers get: Artest KT Clippers out: Thornton Tim Thomas Clippers get: Odom Douby Kings get a young piece...

The knock I see is he shoots a lot and misses a lot as well as being turnover prone. If your a stats comparison, information junkie, the link has a ton of stuff on the 08 PG crop. I don't see him starting right now, but if what his coach says is indeed true having NO talent around him then who...

Thank you ... I may not have seen that much of him this year, but from what I saw, that is pretty much what I remember and the feeling I got. Defense is his strength right now with potential to get better at both ends of the floor. Check out the strengths and weeknesses from what DX says ... I...

I've thought that Robin would be a good pick for us if the PGs are gone at 12. Very solid defensive presence who would be a great compliment to Hawes. IMO he will blosom once he gets out from the shadow of his brother. All the other bigs being mentioned have a HUGE bust potential compared to...

"None of the above" - although Alexander has the determination, drive and love of the game to be somebody on my list. I've been hearing/reading (and I agree) that one of our 2 major needs is a defensive presence, a big body that can and will bang in the paint, that can change/block shots...

I agree completely with the Calderon / Ford comparrison. I could live with giving up Brad ... he's not a piece of our future, but Calderon definately could be. Miller + #12 for Calderon + #17 + filler (09 expirings) to make it work salary wise. I see Brad as a good fit for Toronto and...

Trade Down for Calderon? How about: Salmons and # 12 for Calderon and # 17 Philly gets the slashing wing they want and move up 5 in the draft. Sac gets proven 'True' PG and then take best available BIG at 17 (Speights, McGee, Lopez). Don't know about cash value, but I'd be willing to...

I agree that it would have to be SAR that goes, but hey, do it. Short of devine intervention I'm afraid we are stuck with K9 ... no amount of hopes or wishes are going to convince another team that he is a piece they need. He's a head case that can't make a layup/putback and top that off...

It's a start ...

Absolutely Great I've been reading for a long time but never posted. After reading this I just couldn't keep quiet any longer ... Lo's post is the greatest thing that has happened in this off season for Kings fans. Thank you for the laugh!
