So here it is a nice quiet Saturday and once again Kings fans are reeling from bad news.
It started in the summer of 2004. First, Webber came out and made comments some took to be snipes at Peja or Vlade or some players unnamed and the local and national media had a field day, twisting his words every which way to get the most out of them. Little did we know that was but the tip of the iceberg...
Then, Vlade decided to accept an offer from the dreaded Lakers.
Then Peja announced that he no longer wanted to be a King. That he wanted to be traded and he didn't care where he went.
Well, we survived those ordeals. They didn't kill us (Kings fans); they made us stronger.
Then came the first of the year. Peja showed up, reports were that he and Webber had mended whatever rift had occurred between them and we settled in for what we hoped could be one last shot at the elusive prize.
Then came the injury to Bobby. Then we noticed Doug slowing down. Webber had a few bad games and a lot of good ones, though, so we kept the faith.
Then came the announcement that shook most Kings fans to the core. Doug Christie was gone. He was traded away to the Orlando Magic.
It hurt - it hurt a lot - but it didn't kill us; we got a little stronger still.
We thought everything was done as far as trades go, although a couple of polls here at Kingsfans.com showed more people thought Peja would be traded than Webber. We didn't think a Webber trade was possible. It was something just thrown out there to gauge the feelings of the people on the board.
Then THE announcement. Less than 24 hours before the trade deadline, the entire NBA was rocked with the announcement that Chris Webber - CHRIS WEBBER - had been traded to the 76ers.
That one rocked everyone's world. And everyone survived. IT didn't kill us; it made us stronger.
Now, another injury to a key player. Brad Miller broke his leg - during a light shooting drill during practice - and will be out for at least 4 to 6 weeks.
Fellow Kings fans: We can survive this one, too. It won't kill us. In fact, we have now become so strong that we can survive just about anything. All we need to do is share that strength with the guys on the court.
We are Kings fans! We are invincible!!!
GO KINGS!!!!!
