"When the dust clears on the other situations, the Kings will certainly be one of the top disappointments."

Starting off with Scoop's. All three involve the Kings...
Petrie on Selection of Cousins (featuring Jim Gray!)
"This is one of those years where all the planets were aligned and the fans wanted Demarcus, a lot of the media wanted Demarcus, and we all wanted Demarcus."
We're not trading this guy.
Dime Mag: Tyreke Evans is the NBA’s (only) Rookie of the Year
Funny followup to yesterday's piece of comedy written by Aron Phillips. This one is by Austin Burton, who isn't a fan of people associating him with that article.
"One of the great pains in the ass about working for Dime is that too many people are convinced we all think with the same brain."
Tyreke Evans & Brandon Jennings Should Be Named Co-NBA Rookie Of The Year
Meaningless at this point but a funny read nonetheless. The author makes hilarious statements such as, "If anything, I’d say that Tyreke has a much better supporting cast in Sacramento than Brandon does in Milwaukee."
And states that, "for people to not acknowledge what Jennings did for a Bucks team that lost 48 games last year, would be outrageous." Because you know a 12 game improvement with the help of your center having the best season of his career and acquiring a quality swingman via trade in the East greatly outweighs an 8 game improvement with an even younger Kings team than last season in the West.
Then again... it's only Dime magazine.

ESPN's awards watch
Tyreke at number 2. I'm certainly confused.
Western Conference scout on the rookie of the year race:
"[Tyreke] Evans is going to win it and [Brandon] Jennings was up there early, but [Steph] Curry is going to wind up being the best player of the three. He's the ray of hope in Golden State because he's got the shots, he's got the moves, he's marketable and he's only going to get better. And I think his teammates like playing with him. He's a great shooter, obviously, but he's unselfish. He's looking to get other guys involved.
"Evans is obviously a talent, too, but my instinct is that not everybody likes playing with him because he dominates the ball so much. He's more of a point forward than he is a point guard. ... You can argue that [Curry's] numbers are inflated playing in Golden State's system, but you could have said that about a lot of rookies over the years. Most of the top rookies are on bad teams. Rookies of the year aren't coming from the Lakers. The issue is what the Warriors are going to do with [Monta] Ellis, because it's obvious that that team needs to be built around Curry, and Curry defers too much when Ellis is in there."

Why does everyone insist on making Evans seem like some ball hog that alienates his teammates?
