Poll - Will Bonzi be back?

Will Bonzi be back?

i voted no...seems like with all the delay that hes not coming back. IMO, If he really wanted to come back he would have signed already.

I hope he comes back though. If not, I hope we get value in return.
 
The point of this poll is not to be right in the end.

Go out on a limb. How do you think this is all going to wash out in the end?
 
I hope not. There's no way to turn this into a win-win situation now if he stays. If he walks, everyone loses. If he signs for what we offered, he'll be unhappy and we have the potential to having another pouting malcontent on the team. If we pay him what he wants, we'll end up regretting it and potentially have another untradeable contract.

The only win-win situation is to get him a S&T where he gets the $$$ he wants and we get something in return (any combination of quality players, expiring contracts, draft picks, etc).

Why would he automatically be unhappy, espeically if he's staying in Sac, a place and team he likes? That's quite pre-mature and jumping to conclusions like a damn race-horse out of a gate. And to me, just a ridiculous, one-dimensonal statement.

We haven't even seen anything from Bonzi since the end of the playoffs.

We haven't had any pouters but KT about starting.

Because if he was happy with what we offered, he would have signed already.

And an unhappy player = a player with the potential for pouting.

Thanks for the personal attack, though. You'd think after 7500 posts someone would know how to read a post and respond maturely...
 
That's not how free-agency works. His agent is just doing his job, trying to get the best deal of any kind. It's not all Bonzi. Petrie and co. are just waiting to see what's going on, while Phillips is/has been hunting.

I didn't personally attack you, and by the way you responded, you assumed I intended it as that. I said what I thought of your statement in a civil manner. It's just the 'net, chap.

REMINDER: It's hot and everyone is more testy than usual.

If you think someone has made a personal attack, use the "refer a post" option. Please do not confront the person on the board. Thanks so much.

We're all Kings fans here. Let's not let TDOS, the heat, etc. cause us to say things we normally wouldn't say.

Thanks all.
 
Do I think he will be back? Nope... I would like to have him back for a year starting, and a couple off the bench, but I think K-Mart will be fine.

I think he could go to the bench because he'd be getting older and not being able to play as much. But the guy is 30, and wouldn't trail off after one year, not that fast. Likely when he's 33/34.
 
I am not allowed to vote in polls(:( ???). But I say YES.
Bonzi will be back, and we will get to witness the Bonzi, Bibby, Artest trio in full effect. (at least I really, really hope so!).

And while I am at it, KT will become more than happy to back SAR (you know for the team) and BM will get all buff and aggresive. :rolleyes:

Hey, maybe that is why they don't let me vote ;)
 
Kingzrool - You can't vote because of a glitch in the software that prevents people who registered after we started using this new Beta version from doing things like that.

We hope to have it corrected in the near future.

I haven't voted, so I'll vote for you.

:)

My vote of YES is for Kingzrool.
 
My guess here is no. Now whether that turns out to be idiotic, and on who's part, will depend on what else happens surrounding his departure. There have been deals or replacements proposed on this board where we come out ok. But the ones that have leaked out of various sources around the league have invariably left us a weaker basketball team. And of course if he just walks away for somebody's MLE, BOTH sides have been idiots.
