KINGS BRING IN VETERAN PLAYERS
SacramentoCalifornia: In a surprise move, the Kings, in an attempt to boost their playoff hopes, have signed two retired all star players for the remainder of the season.
Earlier this morning, in a conference call Kings’ Vice President of basketball operations, Geoff Petrie announced that the Kings have signed John Stockton and Karl Malone for the veteran minimums respectively.
“We just want to mimic the success they have had in the past,” said an excited Kings’ owner, Joe Maloof. Surely, there will be some pick and rolls around coming to Arco now.
There are further motivations in these signings. “We feel that Ostertag had his best years with these two and we wanted to help him as we go into the playoffs,” said Geoff Petrie. Clearly, Ostertag will be receiving more touches now with this new look Kings.
Mike Bibby, earlier this morning said, “I’m just excited that I can rest for a few minutes a game, while John goes to work.” Surely, Stockton will provide a veteran presence off the bench, something the Kings have been missing since the injury to Jackson earlier this year.
Malone, reached by phone at his ranch, stated, “I just want to win a championship and I will sell myself out anyway I can…also John and I play good together.” Rick Adelman will surely play these two archaic players together in an attempt to scorch teams with the constant pick and rolls of the past.
An official news conference has been scheduled for 5:30 PM eastern. The player will be formally introduced on Saturday.
