[LMM]

i hope this turns out very well for the kings!

 

[Ryle]

He's at the game tonight and Carrill said he is shooting the ball really well.

 

[G_M]

Merge

Kings signed Eddie House.

 

[Bricklayer]

Yep. Makes sense. One of the Bobby-lite players around the league.

 

[Insomniacal Fan]

Great taste? Or less filling?

 

[Bballkingsrock]

I saw Eddie coming with the Kings players. Does anybody yet if he is going to play?

 

[Heuge]

Welcome Eddie! Do us proud.

 

[CokeBee]

Welcome to the Kings, Eddie!

 

[ImaDougaholic24_7]

Welcome 2 the Kings Eddie!!!!

 

[bibbyweb]

Welcome Eddie. I have a feeling that he is going to fit in really well

 

[Bibby_Is_Clutch]

Hopefully this works out good for us. Welcome Eddie!

 

[AriesMar27]

Yeah....I think it's Bibby's sister.

well i sure hope so.... but then again, tracy mcgrady did say that 15% of the league is gay... lucky for him that no one cares in california, he could buy a summer house in west hollywood.... lol

 

[HndsmCelt]

Glad to have you aboard Eddie!

 

[quick dog]

Will he take minutes from Evans? Doubt it.

Will he take minutes from Evans? Doubt it.

Not unless Evans game goes south. The way he has been playing there is no ryme or reason to cut him min. But it is a comfort to have that next PG option on the bench.

 

[Kev.in]

I like the pickup. He's more proven than Smush Parker (who I was advocating) and I like the way he plays the passing lanes and uses his quickness. Hopefully Adelman uses him to give Bibby a rest. Bibby is tearing it up the last two games, but the minutes will start to pile up and I don't want him getting hurt or to start struggling in March because he played too many minutes.

 

[C4]

is he signed for the rest of the season or just 10 days?

 

[DoughDole]

is he signed for the rest of the season or just 10 days?

Great pickup. More than likely they'll guarantee his contract for the rest of the season after the 2 10-day contracts. Unless they find a better player then.. unlikely, IMO you could do a lot worse than Eddie House at this point.

I find it rather interesting teams like Charlotte & Milwaukee that are desperate for help would let him go quite easily. Is there something we don't know that's making these teams shy away from him, an injury or chemistry problem perhaps?

 

[Prophetess]

welcome to the KINGS!

 

[KingKong]

I haven't really see House play all that much, but I'm excited to have another healthy player on the roster who will be able to contribute. I guess were not going to be seeing Courtney Alexander back with the Kings though. Is he still injured?

I am pretty sure.

 

[Entity]

I asked them tonight and they said for 3 months i am asuming that meant rest of the regular season or until Bo Jax comes back.

 

[Evenstar]

alright. i just got the news

welcome to the kings eddie!!!!!

 

[PejaFanatic]

I was watching the game and was wondering who's that new dude sitting with the Kings. Heheh. So clueless!!!

Welcome aboard Edward!!

Eddie House Pickup

Wow, kind of a suprising move there if you ask me. He ain't exactly Bobby, but the way Maurice Evans is playing lately I seriously doubt he'll see too much floor time anyways.

 

[iheartBrad]

ya never know...it at least makes our bench deeper

May I officially welcome you, buddahead_916, to KingsFans.com. Always nice to have new enthusiastic Kings fans onboard with us.

BTW - you may want to scroll down a little ways and check ongoing threads before you begin a new one. This topic is already being discussed.

 

[Circa_1985_Fan]

Just got back from Vegas this morning at 4am(flight was late 3 hours...GRRR!!) to learn about this pick up...I like it, Eddie will only be a situational player, more than likely, so hopefully he makes the most of his playing time and impresses all us rabid fans that I'm sure he already knows about. Welcome to Sactown, Ed!

 

[4cwebb]

I think the pickup in just in case the rookies go through some difficult times in the months ahead, which I'm sure they are all certain to do. And if they do, at least House is probably a better ballhandler than any of the three of them, so hopefully he can give Mike some rest.

 

[Kingfanpaul]

i know this is kind of old news now but i tried posting the day this thread started but i had to wait DAYS for my account here to be activated...so anyways...

anyone remember when eddie house scored 61 points in a college game?
