I am not an ESPN INSIDER!!!

shadowchicken — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 11:44:27 -0000

I go to the NFL page on www.espn.com and in the upper right hand box i see (as the last bullet point) Rumors: Plax to bucs.....

Can someone help me out here!!! Though i would love an offense with, Plax and Bryant down the sidelines with K2 running across the middle, with the option of dumping it off to Derrick Ward (damn those are some big names we have in tampa!) I am a little confused with a few things 1) how does Bryant feel about being a number 2 WR? He had such a great year last year being the number 1 guy and with K2 and Ward/Graham running the ball i already see us having a tough time getting him the ball 2) Do we really want to sign Plex if he really is dumb enough to shoot himself in the leg, then lie about it saying that he got shot at applebees? (come on applebees?); 3) who ever is an insider please give me an idea of what that article says!!! Though i love what Plex brings to the table, I'm not so sure if i love what be brings to the club (or applebees....still can't wrap my head around that one.....you make millions of dollars and you say you where at applebees?)

another elbow

That is the 2ed elbow above the neck kobe has dished out this playoffs, Kobe also did this to mike bibby in 2002, and we all know about the broken noses he dished out through out the years....so when is the NBA going to call these fouls? What if J.J Redick through the same elbow at Kobe? Redick would probably be thrown out of the game, Kobe does it, and not even a second look...also Fisher....what a Pro!!! (Just though i had to get that in there....)

Trade the 4th over all pick?

The Kings trade the fourth pick to the Mavs for J. Howard......I'd do this in a heart beat!!! I was looking on espn.com and i saw this

Rumors: Mavs will deal J. Howard for pick 5
Now Because i am not an "espn insider" but, i'm guessing if they want the 5th they would want the 4th even more!!! I think J. Howard is worth our 4th pick. Esp. with such a lame draft and we may still be able to pick up our PG of the Future with one of our other picks, or package them with Noc, and move up. If there is a strong indication that we have a good chance to get Rubio than don't trade it, but with K$, Howard, and JT that's a strong, 2,3,4. I think we should do it!!! What do you guys think?

it is a sad day in SacTown today

So i'm sure you all know we have the number 4 pick, and this being a deep draft for PG is it really that bad?? The answer is yes, No way Rubio makes it to us at number 4. So do we Take DeMar DeRozan? Jordan Hill (<--Please no), or Tyreke Evans? Or do we package our pick and Noc for the Number 1? (<---if only), Will Brandon Jennings be there? What about Jrue Holiday? What do you guys think? (I fucking hate my life right now...)

i had a dream

That Ricky Rubio was kidnapped and we where stuck drafting someone else. It was really bad i was looking all over long beach for him! We ended up drafting Jennings, is it just me or is anyone else nervous about the draft as much as i am? Or do i need to get a GF? Also is anyone else pissed about the Kobe elbow to former king Ron Ron? i know this is a king blog but we can't act oblivious to what is happening in the playoffs.

About Kobe

I am by any means i do not like the lakers, in fact i am a Kings fan, BUT answer me this Laker fans do you at all feel betrated by Kobe Bryant because the great city of LA (which i live in) has been behind him through everything (the rape charges, the fighting with teammates, ratting out shaq to the cops, getting shaq traded and running Phil out of town) how do you guys feel about him requesting a trade? I never understood why Kobe still has so many fans, please let me know!!!

Sheldon Brown has asked to be traded

shadowchicken — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 16:52:11 -0000

"I feel like it has been a total lack of respect," Brown told ESPN's Sal Paolantonio on Monday. (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4084596)

So what are we willing to give up to have Brown, Talib and Barber?

I say go for him hard not a first round pick, maybe our 3rd? Next years second?

I know a few of you have had questions about drafting a CB, this would fill that "hole" that we have, his contract has 4 years left which is a lot but i think he can continue to play at a high level, i believe he will be like Ronde when he is older, losing a step or two but can be a great nickle. THis would allow Ronde to move from starter to shutting down the 3rd WR and in 2-3 years Brown can do the same thing....maybe we draft a CB lower and just "red shirt" him i guess. Just have him study beind all of the great CB's we have so when he is ready to step in we wont lose a beat as a franchise, but then again what do i know? I'm some white kid in Cali, hoping for the best for his Football team!!!!

*p.s: F&@! the raiders.....

So....Roster reMix

Are we going to keep andres nocioni? I love how he plays So much effort, he never lacks heart, i hope we keep him, but his contract is killiing me!!! So what do you guys think we should do with him?

Oh and if you think we should trade him to who and for what, and none of this, Andres nocioni for LeBron or DWade their respective teams will never do that, like we wouldn't trade k-Mart for him.

If the draft was tomorrow

shadowchicken — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 00:22:20 -0000

Who would you draft if Sanchez, Maualuga, and Peria Jerry are off the board already...Do we take a chance on Percy Harvin, the quick RB/WR whom reminds everyone of reggie bush (what has he done in the last 2 years?) Do we take one of the OTHER LB's from USC? Or do we go with the Josh Freeman/JeMarcus Russle player whom has a big arm, but throws it to the wrong guy...or do we suprize everyone by trading our 1st, 3rd, 4th round draft pick for Jay Cutler? (For this yes one would have to give up 3 picks for Cutler, just pretend that's what they want for him) What would you do on draft day?

A Price for Cutler??

shadowchicken — Sun, 01 Mar 2009 01:51:41 -0000

How much is too much for Jay Cutler? Would any of you give up our first round pick for him? (i would a QB for the future? Hellz yeah!) Would we give up Ruud? What about Gains Adams? If you were GM of the Bucs and the Broncos called you and asked if we were interested in Jay Cutler, what would be your offer? And i mean like FINAL offer, and no BS answers like, "Jay Cutler for our 7th round pick in 20019" something the Broncos be willing to take. What is J. Cutler (a proven QB and will probably stay in tampa for the next 5-7 years) worth to us?
