- Sacramento Kings -
The Kings are in rebuilding mode, and they are proud of it. They know heading
into this season that they are a long-shot to make the playoffs. Gone from
the start of last season are Mike Bibby, Ron Artest and Shareef Abdur-Rahim,
with a stale Brad Miller and Kenny Thomas being the only stench of the recent
down years still lingering. They have infused a ton of talented youths, and
will surely become a contender with a big name free agent here and there down
the road.
NBA Draft: Jason Thompson (No. 12), Donte Greene (No. 28, trade from Houston)
Key Additions: Bobby Jackson (trade – Houston), Bobby Brown (FA)
Key Losses: Ron Artest (trade – Houston), Shareef Abdur-Rahim (retired),
Anthony Johnson (FA – Orlando), Lorenzen Wright (FA – Cleveland), Sean
Singletary (No. 42 – traded to Houston), Patrick Ewing Jr. (No. 43 – traded
to Houston)
They turned Artest into Donte Greene, who was a machine this summer. They
took a flier on the raw but talented Jason Thompson way earlier than anyone
expected on Draft Night but stand by their position. They added a former King
sparkplug Bobby Jackson in the Artest deal and let Anthony Johnson and
Lorenzen Wright walk after their contracts expired. They had a very
conservative, yet effective summer – and are excited to finally start
letting these young guys play.
Burning Questions
- Will they find a taker for Brad Miller this year?
- Will Donte Greene get enough minutes with John Salmons and Francisco Garcia
ahead of him at small forward?
- Will Spencer Hawes finally become Brad Miller 2?
- Will Mikki Moore continue to play out of his mind?
- Is Beno a legit starting point guard for the money they just gave him?
Person on the Hot Seat: The Landlord
I was going to put Brad Miller here since he is the highest paid player on
the team who has been around seemingly forever, with a lottery pick that
looks and plays like him sitting directly behind him on the depth chart. But
I had to go with Shelden – the man with the lowest Sweet Game to Nickname
Ratio ever. I mean, what is it like for Shelden to know that he was magically
the fifth overall pick by Atlanta a few years back, was a star at Duke, had
the sweetest nickname for a post player in history, and is now in such a sad
state that his girlfriend would destroy him in one-on-one basketball? He’s
recently been seen on TV more as Candace Parker’s main squeeze than he has
as an acclaimed NBA player. While she’s been winning basketball awards left
and right – Olympic Gold Medal, countless ESPYs, WNBA hardware, etc – he’s
been on the sidelines holding a digital camcorder and a pompom. I’m just
worried for Sacto that in a couple of years, we will start to see boxscores
with the listing: S. Williams, PF – DNP (babysitting).
Team Outlook
I love how nobody is saying anything about this, but the Kings have
themselves in a position where they could have a ton of money to throw at
free agents in the Fabled Free Agent Class of 2010. Brad Miller, Kenny
Thomas, and the now-retired Shareef Abdur-Rahim’s combined $27.5M come off
the books, and they will have plenty of young talent still in the mix. Throw
in another couple of lottery picks in the next two years, and boom – the
Kings might be a nice place for a Chris Bosh type to soak up some money. They
have turned Kevin Martin into a fringe All Star and Beno Udrih into a strong
starting point guard. They have weapons everywhere with Donte Greene, John
Salmons, Spencer Hawes, and Jason Thompson. And oh yea, they have the WNBA’s
biggest fan, Shelden Williams, in the rotation.
