".. Deng’s value is generally considered less because he could miss part of the start of next season. Trade him to the Kings for Tyreke Evans, who they’re trying to make a small forward on the way to pushing him out the door, and who knows how long Deng would want to recuperate? I know I’d take my time before reporting to Sacramento."

great minds think alike. well, greater minds thought of it in nov '10. thank goodness for KJ.

will Napear ever actually break rank and criticize the Maloofs? this may be closest thing to it we'll see.

Charles gives him crap for it.

- "[Adrienne is] the lead marketer of her family’s 150-year-old business, which employs 5,000 people through its various properties including the Palms Casino in Las Vegas, the Sacramento Kings and The Maloof Money Cup..."

- Has "a personal wealth pegged at $300 million..."

Will she take credit for the return of the black unis?

(about 3min in)
Jimmer: "2 for 5 from 3pt range. That's about it"

Rubio: "the Passing version of Steph Curry"

is he replacing Cousins's babysitter from last yr?

Hornets, Bucks, TWolves, Pacers as well

Westphal: "... Outside of Jimmer, I don’t anticipate any of [the rookies or Whiteside] playing major minutes."

I only post this to make the comparison that the Maloofs drafting Jimmer is the basketball equivalent of them hiring Pauly D as their house DJ. Marketability trumps talent these days for the Maloofs.

he's finally nailed down those talking points

Small tidbit from a friend who works for AEG- Mayor KJ was spotted today touring the LA Live/Staples Arena complex with Tim Leiweke.

Could AEG be interested in helping us build a Sacramento Live entertainment/hotel/retail complex with a new arena, to revitalize downtown? They've done it before.

Small news, but so was word that a Maloof went up to Seattle.

If the Kings eventually leave Sacramento, it won't be because of a lack of Mayor KJ's effort.

i understand that journalistic bias is never a good thing for a sports reporter, but denying that the calls favored the lakers and using a total foul count tally as your reasoning is absurd.

of course, anyone who now writes for nba.com probably has to pour the kool-aid around.

i see what's in it for Houston, but for us?

Givorny observes at a pickup game. apparently later delivers wins for his squad.

Jim Gray continues his excellent summer of continued professionalism and integrity with an incident with Corey Pavin. great hire for maloofs

i dont know what kind of site SportsNickel is, but i like the blinders this author has on! Great job supporting his argument and dismissing or ignoring any evidence to the contrary!

Plan:
1. vs Detroit - Jul 12. objective: make pistons pay for attempting to manipulate draft with rumors and make pistons fans further burn with envy.

2. Laker scrubs Jul 13th. objective: beat up LAL frontline and set precedent for season of inside domination.

3. vs Minn Jul 14. objective: don't show up Kahn's squad too much, so he'll continue to be employed

4. vs Toronto Jul 16. objective: dominate

5. vs Chicago Jul 17. objective: dominate

6. vs Dallas Jul 18. objective: dominate and incite Mark Cuban agony/misery face

Maloof: "So the truth is that we don't need a new building as much as we did a couple years ago"

respects

at least Wojnarowski doesn't spell out Knicks interest in KT Expiring Contract

classy

The World Wide Leader has spoken. That's as many votes as Thabeet!

Westphal: print this on the motivation board.

anyone want to take a flyer on a talented 28yo reclamation project?

I'm not going to waste time elaborating on this article but will say: in an oeuvre peppered with crimes to journalism, this column sets a new standard in cynicism.

There's a line between being controversial and just link-baiting. I can't see how Sacbee editors don't see what side of the line she's on now.
