What Are We Doing?

Its cool. I wouldn't want to trade Ron anyways. I do want to trade Beno for a second round pick and cash if it was possible(which is isn't). I do want to re-sign AJ for decent veterans pay. I'm not hating on Beno, but hasn't he hit the ceiling talent wise? Chances are he wont replicate this season. If the kings play it smart, they will leave the pg spot up in the air.

And chances are also that he'll do even better, considering this was his first year AS A STARTER. I think (hope) he'll stick around for a few more, as PG is the last spot where you want instability.

How can you blame Reggie Theus for us not having more kids left to play? Really???

Like I said before, either they get played, or the FO will treat them as worthless. You may not agree that Reggie has done anything wrong, but it is not a difficult concept.

And we do not value our kids. If you look at last year's draft, 10 of the top 15 picks are also among the top dozen rookies for PT. Hawes' position in the PT rankings is #32, which makes us and GS (for similar treatment of both Brandan Wright and Belinelli) the worst places in the NBA for a rookie this year -- of the top 20 draft picks, with the exception of the injured Oden and the guys drafted by GS, there is not a single one who has gotten less minutes per game than Hawes. (And Hawes got a lot for a rookie, by recent Sac standards, other kids have fared much worse.) But GS is in win-now mode, so it's sort of understandable in their case. In our case, it's mind-boggling and totally unjustifiable.

So that's how I can give Reggie some of the blame. Really.
