Reports coming out that Chicago may actually match that ridiculous Asik offer. As I said back when that offer was made, if they match it they may need to find a way to unload Noah. Noah remains a nearly perfect fit next to Cousins. But this TRob PF/SF question then becomes even more important.
They are also actively shopping Rip, which is no surprise. Thornton for Noah? But that only helps their finances a little. And wiht no Korver to potentially throw in our shooting goes backward, not forward.

haha unfortunately, but he still would be a good fit if he wanted to come here.

Where I come from "I'm calling" doesn't mean "I'd love to see"
but I wont lose any sleep over a semantics show down on a basketball forum.
for the record i've no interest in seeing Metta back here, i mentioned it on another thread as a joke and continued it here.

hmm sf that is...
overpaid? check
well past his prime? check
ability for smart to play out of position? check
sounds like a possible petrie move but i doubt it since there are so many other bad-mediocre sf left in the free agency pool that we will probably overpay for to add to our collection of small forwards.
you guys are acting like Petrie will actually fill a need........hahaha......come on'
Logic had not been Petrie's (strong) suit since he traded Webber.
Petrie has always had an affinity for Aaron Brooks, but some reason I see the kings ending up with Gilbert Arenas.....because we are the place where players of ethical questions shine, that is what we are known for now!

So "I'm calling him" means "you don't want him here" where you are from? You can see how that is a stretch for anyone to follow...

Jeez, why do you keep harping on him when you're the one who misunderstood. Did you really think he meant, "I'm placing a telephone call to Metta"? That's not what I read. "I'm calling Metta" means "I'm saying Metta [will be the one they sign]" or "I'm guessing Metta [will be the one they sign and if he is I called it first]".
It may not have been a stretch for you to misunderstand, but he already explained to you what he meant, so why do you keep pushing it?
If nobody on this board spent time predicting things they didn't want to happen, there would be about four total posts a day.

that's how i understood it. just a prediction probably made in jest

I think it's been explained but calling, is just another word for guessing. You know like, "I'm calling heads" when you flip a coin.
If i wanted him to play here again i'd just say i did, I wouldn't change my opinion just to follow the crowd on a forum lol.
Ron Tru Warier Metta World Peace Artest will NOT be returning to the Sacramento Kings. You can take it to the bank. Period.
Why? He was an embarrassment to the Maloofs, and in particular Mama Maloof, when he was here the first time. He will not get another chance to do the same thing again. They can do that stuff themselves.

My apologies UK_King. I was under the impression that you would like to actually call him using a phone to get him to come to the Kings. Sorry for misunderstanding.

called it!!!
ok maybe being a bit harsh. i dont know too much about his game but feel a bit underwhelmed with the pick up. 30% 3pt shooting and big enough that smart might play him at the 4. i seriously believe 2.8 million of cap room could have been spent elsewhere but hey, why spend 2 million on hayward or brand when you can spend an extra 800k and a 2nd rounder for another mediocre sf?
Yeah pretty much. Over the last 2 seasons we have blown all of our cap space and draft picks on redundant pieces and throw-away players from other terrible teams.

Lakers just got antawn jamison for the veteran minimum. where were u on that one Petrie

What would we do with Antawn Jamison?
At this point he's the classic old vet a contender signs.

He was busy getting a 24 year old defensive minded SF. If we had signed Jamison, people would have been complaining that he was too old.

Jamison wouldn't have signed here unless the Kings offered a lot more than that.
Besides, Jamison, while an upgrade, is the exact opposite of what this team needs.

Vets sign where they want to and Jamison is an example of that. When a Team has control of where they trade a player look to GSW sending Dorell Wright to the Eastern Conference as an example. Does GSW want to see Wright rain threes on them more often than needed?
