Ok so I am drinking my morning , Blended, Nonfat, Sugar-Free, Decaf Mocha and I thought the moment had arrived to share my NBA Draft wisdom with my friends at Sactown Royalty.  "Its, Time", as my good friend Bruce Buffer once said.  We met in the Seattle Airport last year.  Well actually, I was driving a taxi and he was getting into a limo and there was this moment, when our eyes met that...  It's like we had been best friends all of our lives.   Someone get me a hanky please.  

So back to the business at hand.  I obtained my DATA with some pretty darn thorough research (HoopsHype), my Ouji board, and an afternoon with my Cousin's Step Mom's Sister, who runs a Fortune Booth at the County Fair each year. 

 So with out further adou, I give you my draft board for 2010.

1.  Cole Adrich: 

     Cuz I am Pookey  Bizzaro Guru, and I can.

2.  Devin Banks:

     Isn't West Virgina where they filmed The Coals Miners Daughter

3.  Quincy Pondexter:

     He just sounds smart. 

4. Ricky Rubio:

    Oh shoot, didn't they draft him last year? 

5. Luke Babbit:

"Petrie has been blowing a smoke screen on this guy.  A SF is where the Kings have absolutely no  depth.  This guy  hasn't shown it yet, but I think his real strength might be in defense.  A summer vacation with the Hawe's family ought to get him primed for the season."  Editor, Evil Cowbell Inc.  

6.  John Wahl

     Don't believe the hype.  Remember Robert Traylor, nuff said... 

7.  Xavier Henry

     Because any kid with a name like that must be tough.  Kids can be so cruel at times.

8. Paul George

    The Fortune Teller picked this one

9. Scottie Reynolds

     Remember the movie Rudy

10. Demarcus Cousins

     He's a big softie that can play some "B" and I think Mark Warkentein knows what its like to be misunderstood.

11, 12, 13, 14. Derick Favors

     I am not sure but the Ouija has never failed me before.    

Section, please consider this my entry into the 2010 Sactown Royalty Draft Challenge Extravagana.

Howdy Yall,

I was strategizing with my peeps about the Kings B-ball dilemmas and I came up with an idea that even surprised myself.  Yall know my credentials so don't get bummed about not coming up with it yourself.  It feels good to share these great ideas with a supportive audience.

Okay, so we got Tyreke Evans the leading candidate for ROY.  We have all heard the hype 20, 5 & 5, bla, bla, bla and I'm not going to argue, the guy is pretty good.  I will say however, that Thao "The Vietnamese Vulture" Phan, my PG in Jr. High, could teach him a few things.   He still holds the record for the most shot attempts taken in a season.  A record that is likely to never be broken!  So anyways, we got this guy who's been, quite frankly, a little lucky so far.  My Momma always says, "if there is one sure thing about luck is that it will change".  RekeROY, RekeHavoc, we have been inundated with this nonsense.  The kid has gotten a lot of hype and press and now were in a perfect position to trade this one hit wonder and get ourselves a real Point Guard.

So here it is, I say  "A"  you say  "I" .  "The Master of Disaster", ""The Daili Lama of the Lockerroom", MVP and 10 time Allstar, Allen Ezail Iverson.   I'm imagining the crowd ROAR.  This cat can play SUM BALL!  And don't even think about the age thing.  Does the name, Bret Favre ring a bell.  Ever hear of the sports legend, "Jack Lalange.   The guys like a 120 years old and could still take Howard, and I don't mean Josh, in a wrestling match.

I know some people may have their doubts about "AI" but let me put your minds to rest.  Don't let the hair or the tattoos, or negative media hype fool ya.  In his last appearance at Arco, Mom and I had a chance to chat with him for a few.  What he said to me I will never forget.  He bent down on one knee and whispered this into my ear, "When a gifted team dedicates itself to unselfish trust and combines instinct with boldness and effort, it is time to CLIMB".   WOW, I mean this guy is like freakin Confucious.  I'll never forget that day.  Definite proof that this guy is for real and is destined to be a King.

So with Iverson, Shaq and a couple of the other guys I talked about earlier I'm thinking like 3 maybe 4 consecutive championships. 

So there you have it, the best idea of maybe the decade, in terms of NBA strategy.

I'm a headin on down to the Kings front office with my idea portfolio manyana.  I picked out one of those Canyon River Blues Suits from the local Kmart.  (30%Rayon, 40% Nylon & 20% Spandex) and I have to say, I look pretty darn sharp and I'm thinking a job is iminent.  

Maybe when I get hired, I can comp STR members a couple of dogs at one of the games.

Got to go, Moms yelling at me to get off the computer.  Shh, its foot massage night .

Love ya, but still need GP's email address.     Where there is a will there is a way.

Go KINGS, Ga, Ga, Go Kings...

Hey yall,

Disapointing loss against the Bobcats but as long as everybody did there best, that's all that matters.  We will get those bagaboos next time.

Okay, I was reading Chad Ford, guy is the greatest basketball mind in the business, and I had a total brainfart.  A braindiamond is more like it.  What do yall think of this for a super spectacular idea.

We take K-Thomas' expiring and let it expire.  We just let that contract blow away in the wind.  Okay, now what do we do with all that money?   We negotiate a contract for the biggest, the baddest the most dominant Center to ever play the game.  My favorite player and someone I hope to someday call my friend, "Shaquille OFreakin' Neil".   I can hear the, " Why didn't I think of that?" in the air.  Hey, with my basketball IQ, I'm bound to think of things the normal fan would never come up with. 

  LOW POST PROBLEM SOLVED

So, why would Shaq want to come here? I was thinking to myself, "Pookey,  Bizzarro how do we get the coolest cat in the NBA to grace our presence?"  Then it came to me, we promise him the world.  With Shareef's, Kenny's and Sergio's contracts coming off the books, in addition to not resigning May, Brockman, Hilton or Udoka,  we should be able to swing a 1 year deal.  We throw in a suite at the Palms for life and an unlimited gift certificate at Carls Jr. and I think we can call this deal DUN!

Caveat, Westphall used to coach Pheonix and Shaq once played for Pheonix.  Even know it was at different times, these cats are like brothers.

As always, I LUV this group and welcome the great response yall give.

Go Foothill Farms earthworms(My Jr, High Alma Mater), show them your soil

Hello everyone, this is my first post and I am really excited.  I just love all the great information yall share.

I played a lot of ball in Jr. High and was one of the better players so wanted to suggest some much needed changes the Kings should consider.

1. We need a true PG.  Marco Jaric would be a good fit plus, I really like his wife.
2. Our interior defense looks weak and a sure fire replacement for the struggling Hawes could be Desgna Diop.  Probably one of the few players who really earns his paycheck.
3. Vladimir Radmanovic for interior defense.  I played some hoop with this guy and he blocked all my shots, so you know he is good.  With my Nike Airs on I'm almost 6' tall so height wasn't an issue.  My prediction for Defensive Player of the Year
4. SG is a no brainer with Jamal Tinsley.  The guy spent 2008-09 season getting into shape.  He recently joined Tom Cruise on a Dianetics crusade and he is ready to play some serious ball.  Indiana may not want to part with him.  I'm thinking we swap K-Mart and if were lucky we get Solomon Jones and AJ Price too.
5. And if at all possible we bring back Mikki Moore.  I just freakin love that guy.  Great hands, works the bench really well.  He also might be the best cheerleader in the league.

I can't wait for all your responses as I am sure you will be impressed by my suggestions.  Does anyone Know Geoff Petrie's email address?

Love you guys...
