trust me the kings will be on the rise... they just started rebuilding just last year..
the reason why just last year is because the maloofs always wanted to be "competitive" and at the same time rebuilding which is nearly impossible... to rebuild you need top draft picks or lottery picks even.. and some young guys, bibby is fading fast at age 30 artest is a basket case trust me your better off with out him...
the kings will be better and will be on top sooner than you think. the line up of hawes martin garcia and udrih will torment the league for years to come
if you have seen jason thompson in summer league youll notice he is amazingly quick, for a near 7 footer, he can shoot rebound and block shots...
they may or may not make the playoffs now but sooner or later they will be the western power
2010 Kenny thomas, Mikki Moore, and brad millers contract expires. its time to play the lebron james sweepstakes
i think the maloofs just realized that they are now in rebuild mode last year they were still in the compete mode... after seeing that its time to rebuild just watch... together with the blazers this team will be good
your underating the talent of udrih and garcia

Udrih came to the team with out training camp and came in here not knowing the new coach and team yet he assumed the roles of point guard very well
Garcia on the other hand keeps on improving the guy can block shots long arms and a shooter and can pass the ball like a point other than that you should see the kid play he has a TON OF HEART and passion for the game something i want to see in a team
Martin: purely offensive scorer he can score at will and will score AT WILL. after coming of training with the olympic team i think HE is ready to up his game now.
moore wont be our starting PF im guessing it will be jason thompson the kid will be a steal
dont underate hawes too

he can shoot, post up block shots and rebound and is quick and HELL NO he is NOT a brad miller ver. 2.0 hes MUCH better than that
all im saying is the kings will experience a few droughts like this year and maybe the next but wait till they team meshes together..
you dont need artest trust me the guy is a nutso look at kingsfans.com how he keeps on changing his mind every other day thats not good for a team
to succeed you have to know what it feels like to be at the bottom... when you hit rock bottom, theres only one way to go but up...
have faith
