did he say naything interesting?

Grant was praising him and Peja praised his fellow Kings. It was just obvious that he was very relieved to have played well.

Here's a convo with RA taped earlier:

RA: It's been a difficult year. Last two months have been difficult.

Why trade?

I think the circumstances just came up. YOu had to look at the financial and Chris' leg. We just had to look at the long run and I think that's why we did it.

What about Bobby?

If Bobby and Brad can come back healthy, we're gonna be dangerous. Bobby pretty much hasn't played in two years so if he can come back healthy it's gonna be important. We have to make it to the playoffs first, and that's a big deal.

What about fan talking?

Fans are very nice. They don't offer a lot of advice. I hear the talk shows. Sometimes you just have to laugh at it. Look at all the experts on TV. They don't know what they're talking about, from Barkley on down. They don't know our team.

Is it hard on your family?

Yeah, my wife most of all. My family hears all the stuff. It's tough but you get used to it.

What about the future?

I'm glad they picked up my option. Looking at what's gone on in the league, I'm lucky and I'm comfortable no matter what happens in the future. I'm just glad to have this year and next year and I love the group we have right now and the organization and the town. I'm happy.

There was more, but I could type fast enough to get it all...

If ya didn't like RA before ya GOTTA like him now :D
 
VF...looks like you got most of them down. I don't think I could have type half of those. Good job!! :)

Also in the background, you can see Bobby practicing his shooting.

<-------Barkley
 
I caught that interview and I'm always amazed at the guy's finesse and professionalism. The toughest question was with respect to Webb and my respect level for him just went up another notch with the way he answered. He didn't slam him and at the same time didn't complain either, he just stuck with the facts and it all seemed logical ... the guy's just a leader, plain and simple!!!
 
^^Now that's one I'd like to see...Rick is just a great guy who has ALWAYS had my trust and respect...I won't go into it again as there is another thread floating around where I went into more detail :D I love the Barkley comment...I think all Kings fans know what an illeducated moron he is! Nice to know that the Kings Organization knows it too!
