    What to do with Tyreke

    Beno Udrih? Really? It's not like Beno is a bad player, but he isn't a guy that's going to come in and win you a bunch of games at an NBA level. I watched Beno here for four years, and the Kings had up and down talent levels for their personnel during that time. The guy was consistent and...

    What to do with Tyreke

    I was looking for a specific person. Since you ruled out the draft, who are the Kings going to attempt to sign or trade for, and in the case of a trade, which pieces do they give up to do so? It's one thing to say there's a problem and explain why the problem exists, quite another to come up...

    What to do with Tyreke

    OK, moving Thornton to the bench could work, but how do the Kings solve their PG issues?

    What to do with Tyreke

    Again, I'd really like to know -from anyone- how this roster composed of the core of DeMarcus, Tyreke and Thornton works from a basketball perspective. You have two guys who are too similar in Reke in Thornton. Reke can't shoot and therefore does a bad job of spacing the floor for Cousins... and...

    What to do with Tyreke

    Shaq was surrounded by players who complimented him well during the Lakers run. Keep in mind, the Lakers were signing people no one had ever heard of, like Mike Penberthy, Slava Medvedenko and these guys were coming in and contributing. The Lakers had established a very strong system around Shaq...

    What to do with Tyreke

    1. Fair statement. Few have Tyreke's natural skill set. 2. Tyreke is a huge, core part of Sac's team. DeShawn Stevenson is a role player on the Mavericks. This is not an apples to apples comparison. How many high impact SGs have been in the league in recent memory and done something worth...

    Swap Tyreke Evans for Brandon Jennings

    I did say "realistically." :P

    Sam Amick reporting to extension for Evans

    As others have said, getting Wall isn't going to happen. Young as can be, upside through the roof, #1 pick. Trading him makes zero sense on any level for the Wizards. I am curious who you guys think we have a realistic shot at landing either via a trade or free agency that can make a highly...

    Swap Tyreke Evans for Brandon Jennings

    On the SF note. We have a ton of people who play that position on our roster. Cisco, Salmons and Greene. How well they do at that position is definitely up for debate, of course. So if you guys don't like Jennings, who's a viable solution at the PG position that Sac could realistically get?

    What to do with Tyreke

    The problem is, they tried it this year and it was horrible. Sac's offense stuttered big time, no ball movement, terrible shot selection, etc. As much as it would be nice if Tyreke could play PG full time and get his teammates going consistently, history has shown this isn't going to happen...

    What to do with Tyreke

    So, I said what the problems are, and this is my solution: I'd trade the guy and get better pieces that actually fit the team. Tyreke is an amazing talent and should command very good returning player(s). Address the PG situation, surround Cousins with better shooters and play makers...

    What to do with Tyreke

    Tyreke is going to command a hefty salary when he becomes a free agent or restricted free agent. Is this someone you want to sink max or near max money into when the time comes with the team playing at its current level? Hard to see Tyreke not commanding a hefty salary. The guy averaged...

    Swap Tyreke Evans for Brandon Jennings

    Jennings is more of a ballhog than Tyreke? Not that I've seen.

    Swap Tyreke Evans for Brandon Jennings

    Again, as much as I love Tyreke, I don't see how he fits this team, and more importantly, Sac fixes their biggest need (IMO) — the PG position. Thornton is a better shooter, and while he doesn't have the same ability as Tyreke to get to the basket, he still can slash fairly well. Both...

    Swap Tyreke Evans for Brandon Jennings

    Depending on if you believe what Sam Amick wrote: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2012/writers/sam_amick/03/12/trade.notebook/index.html?sct=nba_t11_a0 Brandon Jennings is on the trading block, and we probably wouldn't get him cheap. Why the Kings should do this: As much as I love Tyreke...

    Fire Paul Westphal

    The more I watch the Kings play this season, the more I keep thinking that replacing Westphal with a mop is actually a really good idea.

    Cousins SENT HOME????

    Anyway, since I pointed out a lot of problems, here are my solution(s). It boils down to taking some time for these situations to work themselves out. I'm undecided on Westphal, but the problem is if you fire him, who do you bring in to replace him? DeMarcus also needs time...

    Cousins SENT HOME????

    Some thoughts on this situation and the Kings right now. 1. When a big man comes into the league with DeMarcus' talent level and ability and everyone is questioning his maturity and personality, expecting him to turn it around and be a saint any time soon is NOT going to happen. This...
