Silver Lining May 18, 2009 by Kayte Christensen
Since February, the Sacramento Kings, as an organization, have experienced a lot of change, and it began with the multiple trades that took place before the trade deadline. More recently, the dissolution of “House Party Live,” which, if you’ve been paying attention, was the pre, half and post-game show I participated in with Jim Kozimor, Fat Lever and Henry Turner.
I cannot tell you, in one simple blog, how saddened I am by this news on multiple levels. But speaking from my heart and ignoring the business side of things, I consider the last two years working with Kozimor to be a blessing. He is one of the most talented people I’ve ever come across, during both my sports career and my time in front of the camera. I mourn the loss of our show, which I was so lucky to have been a part of for two years. I wish everyone could have as much fun at work as we did during my stint on “HPL.” I haven’t quite put my head around the fact I won’t be working alongside my ‘Kozi’ anymore. He was more than a colleague in my mind — a close and cherished friend, who will be greatly missed.
My role with the Kings is also changing.
Many people have reached out to me over the past week to find out what the end of “HPL” spells for me. All I can say is that I will remain a member of Kings broadcasting, in some capacity. Until my new role is completely defined, all I can do is assure you, I’m still here and looking forward to whatever new challenge this change will bring my way.
The past week of change within the Kings organization has been difficult for everyone but I am anxious for Tuesday when we will finally find out what pick the Kings will have in the Draft. I try to focus on the good change this pick could bring to this young team that is dedicated to rebuilding and destined for more change in the near future. I could sit here and speculate like many people about who will be drafted and what coach will eventually be hired to take over the reigns of your Sacramento Kings, but I will pass. I will share my thoughts after the lottery and decisions are made.
In the meantime, I will try to find the silver lining in change.
