What to do about Artest? (via Yardbarker)

Dirtlocker points for: David Lee, Cuttino Mobley, Kenny Thomas

If anybody has watched the last two Kings games they know that Artest and the Kings just don't fit together anymore. Some may say his problems were just due to the fact he was so amped up to play Detroit and his old team the Indiana Pacers. I disagree. He's again becoming our very only Cuttino Mobley of 2005 aka A GIGANTIC BLACK HOLE. Everytime anyone passes it to him the best chance they will...

Knicks Want Bibby, Could this Trade Work? (via Yardbarker)

Dirtlocker points for: Rafer Alston, Ron Artest, Shane Battier, Mike Bibby, Jamal Crawford, Eddy Curry, Francisco Garcia, Daniel Gibson, Drew Gooden, Chuck Hayes, Luther Head, Larry Hughes, LeBron James, Mike James, Damon Jones, David Lee, Stephon Marbury, Donyell Marshall, Kevin Martin, Tracy McGrady, Brad Miller, Mikki Moore, Scot Pollard, Zach Randolph, Quentin Richardson, Malik Rose, John Salmons, Kenny Thomas, Beno Udrih, Anderson Varejao, Yao Ming, Eli Manning

These days, trade talks have gone up. T-Mac wants a trade, Mike James' unhappy in Houston. Cavs, and now the Knicks, want the Kings' Mike Bibby, and the Knicks want Ron Artest without giving up David Lee, but will give up Jamal Crawford. So I put 4-way trade together to solve their problems. A deal that would get an unhappy T-Mac out of Houston and Mike James back at a starting role. Ron A...

Every year, in the several weeks following the ringing in of the New Year, the same several weeks leading up to the NBA 's All-Star Weekend (February 15-17) and (more importantly) trade deadline (February 22), the Association enters into what is quickly becoming one of the most (oddly) intriguing

Trading Tracy McGrady (via True Hoop)

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0100

Dirtlocker points for: Maurice Ager, Rafer Alston, Ron Artest, Marcus Banks, Shane Battier, Mike Bibby, Rasual Butler, Vince Carter, Dan Dickau, Steve Francis, Francisco Garcia, Luther Head, Allen Iverson, Richard Jefferson, Andrei Kirilenko, Corey Maggette, Jamaal Magloire, Shawn Marion, Tracy McGrady, Cuttino Mobley, Kirk Snyder, Jerry Stackhouse, Peja Stojakovic, Jason Terry, Kenny Thomas, Jamaal Tinsley, Antoine Wright, Yao Ming, Morris Almond, Aaron Brooks, Carl Landry

The Rockets seem to still be stuck in a bit of a jam. They have what everybody wants -- a quality big man in his prime. They also have some excellent role players, and one of the game's top perimeter stars. But, as the clock ticks on all of those players, they continue to lack a clear solution at point guard, and most importantly, they continue not to win as much as they hope to.

At s...

They're Stealing Money! The Most Overpaid NBA Players (via ArmchairGM)

My '07-'08 installment of the most-overpaid NBA players has a mix of big-time players (well, they used to be) and some lesser-known scrubs collecting checks they don't deserve. I love America! Note: The salary data presented here is not guaranteed to have perfect figures (mainly because

Ballin': Melo Bests LeBron, Again (via The Big Lead)

Dirtlocker points for: Ron Artest, Mike Bibby, Richard Jefferson, Mikki Moore, Chris Paul, J.R. Smith, Kenny Thomas, Sean Williams

There was a time - and a previous cell phone - where this game would take priority over reading on the subway. You know how Jordan didn't walk out of the gym until he hit 1,000 jumpers (or whatever)? We couldn't move on until we won seven straight on the hardest level. No easy task, [...]

Kings' (2-4) Hawes & Udrih Debut in 100-93 Win vs. T'Wolves (0-5) (via Yardbarker)

I had my doubts about the Kings' free agent picks the past few years, but left handed point guard Beno Udrih might be a good choice. I mean, we got someone who was said to have not been dwaived by the T'Wolves out of all teams, and not only that, his finger on his shooting hand was broken when we got him. All of a sudden, he's the hero of the night. After losing a close game to the Cavs the n...

Spencer Hawes is Ready, Beno Udrih by Nov. 9, State of the Kings (via Yardbarker)

Dirtlocker points for: Shareef Abdur-Rahim, Ron Artest, Mike Bibby, Francisco Garcia, Kevin Martin, Brad Miller, Mikki Moore, John Salmons, Kenny Thomas, Beno Udrih, Spencer Hawes, Justin Williams

Sacramento Bee reports that Spencer's thinks that he's ready to play. However, he might not be cleared to play in the home opener against the Sonics on Tuesday. Coach Reggie Theus made that clear saying, "A lot of times what happens with stuff like that is it's really healed, but it's just not strong." New acquired Kings point guard Beno Udrih (pronounced Bayno Oodrick) may be ready to play a...

Lakers, Bulls, Kings Trade Ruined (No Luol Deng Involved) (via Yardbarker)

Dirtlocker points for: Ron Artest, Mike Bibby, P.J. Brown, Kobe Bryant, Luol Deng, Ben Gordon, Kenny Thomas, Tyrus Thomas, Ben Wallace, Chris Webber, Joakim Noah

I couldn't believe that this trade was even being discussed. According to ESPN, what I heard on the radio, there was a 3-Way trade for Kobe. To Bulls: Kobe Bryant from Lakers To Lakers: Ben Wallace from Chicago, Ron Artest from Sacramento To Kings: Ben Gordon and P.J. Brown from Chicago Where was this going again? I can see why this trade fell through. Even though the Bulls keep Joakim No...

The Kings are coming off their fifth straight season where their win total has decreased, starting at 61 in 2001-2002 and having settled at 33-49 last year. The team is talented, but perimeter-dominated, which may bode well for new coach...

Razz the Jazz, something I haven't heard since Kings vs. Jazz 1998 Playoffs 1st Round. They almost beat the Jazz 3-2. It's been a week of homecomings in New Mexico for the Kings. Reggie Theus was welcomed at New Mexico State University in Las Cruces on Tuesday. Joe and Gavin Maloof, the Sacramento Kings owners, returned to their hometown Alburquerque. Going to New Mexico University, Reggie ...

Fight Breaks Out, Kings Edged by Mavs in Las Cruces Thriller 101-99 (via Yardbarker)

Dirtlocker points for: Ron Artest, Mike Bibby, Carlos Boozer, Devin Harris, Josh Howard, Kevin Martin, Brad Miller, John Salmons, Jerry Stackhouse, Jason Terry, Kenny Thomas, Nick Fazekas

From the looks of last night's game, it looked more like a regular season game than preseason. The crowd was split even. Half Kings, Half Mavs. I even saw shirts that said "Reggie Nation." Even though Kings' coach Reggie Theus and staff and alumni Randy Brown were welcomed home, and the Dallas Mavericks won a close game last night, that wasn't the only highlight, and you won't see it in the...
