I've respected Geoff Petrie since he got here, i seriously have, i wanted a turned franchise and thats what i got. I was behind the Webb trade to get him here, Vlade, etc etc, hell i was even behind webber leaving because i thought he had a plan. But saying that he comes out smelling like a rose and that he is fault free from this is ridiculous. I know i said this already a couple posts back , but i dont see how people can make excuses. Legally my ***, you just put sacramento on the map as a place a player REFUSED TO GO TO. How embarrasing is that. Take the extra day, see if you can conference with Ron Ron and an agent to make it legal and do it behind closed doors. What does this save, a few things : 1.) peja isnt pissed, because OMG i would be angry and feeling betrayed 2.)the league no longer sees peja as a must trade by the kings because hes a lame duck 3.) there isnt even A QUESTION about the kings now being ashamed because of what they tried to do, because it wouldnt have been brought to question in the first place. Petrie says we arent going for artest, then he does, thats genius and all, but do the HW, and do it correctly.
