Welcome back Bobby Jackson as assistant coach!

What is it like announcing your hiring the same day the business goes belly up?

You'll have to excuse me for not being excited at the moment.
 
Player-Coach would work. Let's get the replacement players suited up right now and start the NBA season asap. All tix $10, first come first served. GO (NEW) KINGS!
 
Keith Smart also hired to staff. Most of the staff from last season apparently let go.

Mario Ellie has a chance to join his bud in New Jersey. Its also possible that he felt his chances of becoming a head coach with the Kings was severely damaged by his DUI. Truck Robinson's leaving doesn't surprise me. Apparently there was friction between He and Cousins, and since Cousins is going to be one of the faces of the franchise, its probably for the best. I'll be curious to see who will replace him as the coach of the bigs.
 
They should get rid of Westphal. Guy's a joke an it takes him 3 times the time to figure out a starting lineup that we thought was best. What's he really done to warrant a head coaching job? He took over in Phoenix and ruined it. Same with Seattle. Now he's a mess with us. The only reason why he's a coach is cause of the money he accepted.

I suspect that this is a make or break year for him. If we ever have a season.
 
Despite the contract/lock-out crap, it's always nice to know that Bobby loves Sacramento and would like to stay here. Thanks, BJax! :)

I'm kind of "meh" on Bobby Jackson. I'm very excited about Keith Smart. I think he has a terrific basketball mind. He made the Warriors competitive last year.
 
I'd like Vlade or Webb on the staff. Maloofs don't seem interested in hiring Webb though. But I'd love Vlade to come on in some capacity. Isn't his son playing ball in the states?
 
Vlade is way too busy to come back to work for the Kings. He's busy with his charities, his country's Olympic team committee, etc.

Webb makes tons of money working for TNT and probably loves living in Atlanta. Working for the Kings would be a huge salary cayt. Plus, I have a feeling he doesn't like the Maloofs very much.
