Chris: Hi Peja
Peja: Hey Chris
Chris: How's the family?
Peja: Good, thanks-
Chris: Look, Peja, I don't know what was said over the summer, but I have never said that I want you to leave-
Peja: Really?
Chris: Yea. I'm sorry to see Vlade leave too, but I think we can still do this thing. Are you with me?
Peja: Yeah!
hugs and kisses all around, now lets play some basketball!

Just saw Joe Maloof interviewed on News 10 -- he said that he's talked to Peja, that Peja will show up & that he doesn't think there will be any problems. He said "We are not trading him". "Peja is a King. He will be a King for at least a couple of years. We are not going to trade him." "We told Peja he was important to the team, important to the community, and that we want him here." "He is an integral part of our team."
So, reading between the lines -- I don't think he will be traded! I think Peja is here to stay, and hopefully after the rest this summer he will be able to be productive during the post season as well as during the regular season!

LOL!!!!
Why didn't the Maloofs have this conversation with him right after the moment he made the trade demand? If I'm not mistaken Peja was interviewed a while after that and was a bit frustated because the Maloofs did not contact him at all. I just think he would've appreciated them reacting to their All-Star player sooner than that. Let's just hope plenty of 3's and W's this coming season can mend Peja's wounds.

would love to see them talk for the first time. would be funny. but i think that everything is going to be fine.
Peja was overseas. There are some things that are better said "face to face" and I'm pretty sure that's why they waited until he got back here.
Keep in mind that just because we didn't hear of any conversations didn't mean none took place.
The important thing is that Peja is in town, he's particiating in public relations activities, and we can start looking forward to a new season and put this stuff behind us!

The media (and some fans) will never let this go. Peja and the team will be hounded by the media once they get a go at them. I expect things to die down eventually, but there'll be flare ups every now.
Kings Media day should be really fun this year. I hope the players have there answers prepared already.

While the media and some fans may not want to let it go, my fervent wish is that ALL the players shut them down with a simple, "It's over and done. It was overblown to begin with. We just want to get out there and play ball."
If they do that two or three times and refuse to discuss it any longer, the media will have to move on.
Of course, there is a small cadre of journalists that will always try to poke a stick at an abandoned hive to see if they can get it to buzz one more time, but that small group is pretty well known to most fans.

To be honest, I don't think that we should be concerned about the relationship between Peja and Chris, if not the relationship between Peja and the rest of the team. Right now there's the Kings and then there is Peja. There is everyone who wants to be here and then there's Peja who said/says that he doesn't. He has very much alienated himself from the team and I know that this might not have been done purposely, I know that he has a family now and Greece is his home, but for the last couple of weeks the players have been getting back in town. They have been meeting and talking with each other whether its at an event like Bobby Jackson's golf tournament or a Monarchs game or its seeing each other working out at the practice facility--they have been there, but Peja hasn't. Unless Peja comes in on Friday, meets with his teammates and proclaims a renewed commitment to the team, there's going to be more tension between Peja and the rest of the team than anything else.
For the first time all summer, and not because of this story that we don't even know is true, I have to say that I am concerned.

From Fox40: There is some thought around the Kings that Peja might skip media day on Friday to "show how much he still wants out"....
....he better not.

It's weird. For some reason I thought Peja would be one of the last guys in the league to be demanding trades and possibly not showing for important team events such as media day or more important their first practice. I hope they iron these things out but it's looking more and more like he is demanding a trade.
Then again, you never know he could show up and be excited about the team and getting back to business.

I hope those are only rumors too. If not, Peja might as well pray and hope he gets traded to a city with a large Serb/Greek population because that might be the only fanbase he will have left.
I could tolerate requesting a trade in the off season, but pulling stunts like that is even more beyond unprofessional.
