Kings sign Moochie Norris.... http://www.kings.com/kings_sign_norris
Should be a a decent vet. to have around and a locker room guy like Mateen. Also be good for the young PGs we have.
Call me stupid but I've been on a Mexican cruise the last 5 days and when I click on the link it just takes me to the Kings website but it doesn't say anything about Moochie being signed. Did this really happen or was this just a joke???

Slow Slow Off-season
This thread might be merged with the other "can i hear some breaking news" but this is more then reality then anything. we haven't heard a Bonzi update for a while ever since we signed Salmons the Rumor Mill has been silent and most importantly there is no news AT ALL. either this is a good sign and we're trying to get a good trade done or the off-season just might be over i'm still confident we'll get something done but as we get closer to training-camp i'm having my doubts.
I really think we're trying to save some money for next year. No sense taking on extra long term contracts for more role players when we have quite a few expiring deals. I also think they'd like to evaluate existing talent under the new coach.
Yeah, yeah I know that's not what people want to hear, but we could be in Portland or New York rebuilding mode instead.

We don't need Reggie Evans. He's not an interior defensive presence and not a good man-defender. He's just a really good rebounder and hustle player. He has a post-game to some degree, at best.
We already have a Reggie Evans, and more, in Kenny Thomas. Besides, we likely can't get Reggie for the LLE.
Reggie would fit in well with Minnesota/Cleveland/Denver where guys would compliment his short-comings (shotblocking, height, defense, scoring). He'll also have a better oppurtunity to play in those places, except maybe Denver. Back-up in Minny, starter/back-up in Cleveland (starting spot would be won in camp), not sure where he'd fit in Denver right now. I'd say Minny or Cleveland is where he'll end up.
Here's a report on him from a Seattle fan:
Blocks per game: .12-.19 BPG through-out his career, .10 BPG career BPG.

Who we should get for the LLE is Kelvin Cato (#1) or Olowokandi (#2). Both would help out the interior defense, and be a presence in the paint a bunch more than anyone on the roster right now.
Trades? Who knows what could go down, as it's been so far, speculation/rumors/idea-offerings.

I'm not comparing, merely pointing out what should be obvious - those are rebuilding situations we want to avoid. Part of that comes from trying to do too much too soon.Please don't compare the disgrace Portland and New York is to what the Kings are trying to do
The Kings are doing an admirable job putting out a watchable product on the court while rebuilding, but make no mistake about it - we are rebuilding and we are at least one more year away. Most of the B level players we've passed up on so far weren't going to change that.

I,like the rest of you get up every morning and check the latest news. Hoping something will happen to make me feel optimistic about the upcoming season. I remember all the speculation last year about this trade and that trade and none of them happened. You can almost bet your life,that if there's a rumor about a Kings trade, its not going to happen.
I think it was around the last week of august last year,when out of the blue we traded Bobby Jackson for Bonzi. I don't think anyone saw that one coming.
We haven't, as far as we know, made any attempt to sign any of the free agents out there. Other than Salmons of course. We now have about 100 people who can play the point guard position. OK, I'm exagerating a little. But we have Bibby, Hart, Price,Douby, Salmon's, Garcia, once in while, and we've invited Pooh Jetter to camp. Jetter was very impressive in the summer league by the way. I can only suspect that there is a trade in the works, and it involves Bibby. Who for? I have no clue.
I should point out that I have had a few beers, so take this for what its worth. Bibby by the way, took twice as many shots last year than any other player on the Kings, except Miller, and he took over a third more than him. Way too many for a point guard. Not blaming him in particular for wanting to be the man. I just don't think you can win a championship with your top scorer being a point guard. Just ask the 76's.

when does training camp start? how much longer???
wow... this offseason is slow... looks like Harrington and Wells might never find teams... when does training camp start??? i would think petrie would want to have everything set and ready a little before training camp begins... considering all the chemistry issues there have been over the last couple of years... OK SO WHEN DOES THIS WAITING GAME END... side note if we keep Miller and he went down hurt... the season could be over

Bibby was huge for us last year and I have no problem with the number of shots he took. I think Bibby role on the team is going to be redefined in the Musselman era. To what? I don't know, but there's no denying he has the skills to play several different styles of play (and I mean offensivly of course). I also like the fact that Bibby has always wanted to be a King, when he was in Memphis this was the only place he wanted to come, and its a place where he can finish his career. What I am really interested to see is how Bibby reacts to a coach who will get into his face and challenge him to play defense.
