Wow. My how the waters in Sacramento have changed. Wasn't too long ago that this team played like this on a nightly basis. The Kings have shown they can be a very good defensive team. No one player is going to turn us into a defensive power.

I wouldn't mind Sheed but I don't think the Pistons bite on this. Not sure we do either.

Our interior defense is terrible. The one thing in this trade though we lack is rebounding but we get a better defensive and offensive player who has 2 more year left on his contract.

Pistons, wont do it.......

We had A bad game, it was ONE bad game on the 2nd night of a back to back on the road where the opposition shot a sweltering 60% we lacked our starting C, our all-star PG and SF were obvioulsy ailing physically and our frontcourt just played bad....move on...it's ONE game. I'm surprised we were as close as we were. I look forward to Baron Davis on the Inactive(injured) list.

 

[Packt]

They're not going to give us their best frontcourt player for a middle to late draft pick.

 

[Merdiesel]

that was one game.

Baron played one of the best games of his career.

We are STILL one of the best defensive teams in the league, right now.

Also, Im not so sure pairing up Artest and Rasheed is such a good idea.

 

[Padrino]

"sick of a lack of defense"??? after only two poor defensive outings? man, how'd ya get through last season?

 

[BMiller52]

I doubt Detroit would do it.

 

[Jespher]

Kings do this in a heartbet, but Pistons wouldn't even pick up the phone...

 

[DETON8ER]

HOW bout jason hart, potapenko and SHareef for rasheed wallace?

 

[rhythmless]

...first, why would detrot downgrade their front line after ALREADY losing big ben?

second... u want to pair rasheed AND artest together? im sure the refs would call us favorably with those two on the court
