Don't Make Me Use The Bat
It's sad that Brad Miller, Bonzi Wells, Kenny Thomas and Mo Evans were the newest Kings alumni worth bringing in(certainly a few guys missing like Kevin Martin, Ron Artest, Shareef) but after that team the franchise has been filled with mediocrity. Guys like Donte Greene, John Salmons, Spencer Hawes etc will just be remembered as relics of extremely dark times for this franchise.
The only redeemable alums from the last 8-10 years are Francisco Garcia, Jason Thompson, Beno Udrih, Isaiah Thomas, Tyreke Evans and thats about it. From near a decade of teams those are the only guys I would be happy to see in a reunion type event like Saturdays match.
I don't really think that's why there was a cutoff though. I wasn't clear on the exact reasons other than maybe all the newer guys still having careers and playing somewhere in the world at the moment so couldn't make it, and of course Shareef got forced out of the front office here only last year. But plenty of the older guys coming in were completely irrelevant as players. Several of them were even unpopular. Darrick Martin? Greg "quite a bit heavier than a" Kite? Donte and Salmons etc. could have showed up with no shame at all. Thought Cisco might come back, guess not.
