Sacramento Kings Twitter
Not remotely relevant, but definitely and StR worthy discussion
Today's show...Ron Artest, Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson, Joe Maloof-Kings Owner, Kurt Warner.
According to Jim Crandell on Fox40 a private equity firm has offered match Henry Samueli's offer to the Maloofs to keep the Kings in Sacramento. They are also proposing a 2nd arena that'll hold 25,000, have an indoor ampitheatre, and an olympic aquatic center. This arena will also not use public funding. The guys behind this equity fund want to stay anonymous. But this is huge

I don't even know what to say about this. Literally. I'm just typing for the sake of typing at this point. Go Ron!
A Letter to the NBA Board of Governors
Here is my letter to the NBA Board of Governors, that I'll start emailing to the folks on Aykis' contact list that can be found here. I am posting it here in case anyone else wishes to do the same. Any thoughts on things I should add, subtract, or fix are much appreciated.

Nice article I found on Omri
In proposed Nuggets-Nets deal, Denver would move Troy Murphy onto a third team with 1 or 2 of Nets four picks as sweetener, sources tell Y!
DeMarcus Cousins has been suspended by the Kings and is not making the trip to Phoenix, according to a source close to the team.

There's only one appropriate response to this:

Okay folks. I'm going to begin the newest Asinine Offseason Thread with my own offseason idea, based on popular opinion around StR as of late. The Kings are gonna get a Rudy!

My character would be a basketball player who secretly doubles as a bounty hunter. None of my teammates know, because when I'm bounty hunting I wear a disguise -- a black leather jacket, nice shoes, some black jeans, definitely black shades, a fedora and a gray beard. Oh, and a cane. But even with my disguise, a villain finds out I'm the bounty hunter, and he wants to get back at me, so he attempts to kidnap my point guard. So now I have to stop the villain and protect my team without finding out I'm this bounty hunter. There's a climactic scene when my team and I are all on a bus and the villain's people are trying to get to it and my bounty hunting agency and I have to prevent it from happening without revealing my identity.
In the end, I catch the guy trying to kidnap the players, and he gives me the location of the villain's headquarters. My agency and I run over there and take the whole network down.

The Asinine Offseason Thread IV - A New Hope
It seems that asinine threads are popping up with the writers just hoping for boob pictures. Apparently I have created a giant big chested monster. For that I apologize.
But, no time to dwell. We need to get back to the task at hand: coming up with random offseason moves for our beloved Kings. So far this summer we've said hello to new friends Samuel Dalembert, DeMarcus Cousins, and Hassan Whiteside. We've also said goodbye to the much beloved, yet highly feared connoisseur of pancakes, Jon Brockman. So it's time for you to come up with your own ideas for the team.
Earlier this week Ziller said "The world is not your trade machine." Obviously, some of us disagree. Use this thread to tell Ziller to suck it!

The Asinine Offseason Thread - El Tres
I shouldn't have to explain this anymore but apparently I do: If you have an idea for an offseason move such as a trade or free agent signing, post it here. If your "FanPost" (notice the quotes) would be better served as a comment somewhere else, post it here. If your "FanPost" is barely long enough to meet the 75 word requirement, post it here (and yes, I get the irony, fuckers). If you think LPA might murda U 4 how bad UR grammer and speling is, post it heer!

Boobs, not Noobs!
I know most of us StR vets are tired of some of the noobs that tend to not follow the preferred FanPosting protocol. We all probably wish we could replace the noobs with some boobs, which would make things much more enjoyable, probably even for StR's team mom, LPA. However, there's no magical button that can automatically turn a crappy post into something like this:
Believe me, I've tried. A lot.

Lebron fatheads are priced at $17.41. American Rev War general Benedict Arnold, a traitor who defected to the Brits, born in $17.41. And yes, Fathead is owned by Gilbert, the Cavs owner.

Longtime broadcaster Jim Gray will have the first interview with LeBron James on tonight's ESPN special. He joined the show to preview his interview and the special.
Gray explained that he saw LeBron's marketing guy Maverick Carter and super-agent Ari Emanuel at Game 2 of the NBA finals. Gray said he told Carter he wanted to do the interview and suggested they buy an hour of television.
The Asinine Offseason Thread - Part Deux
Have I taught you nothing Sactown Royalty? There's been like 4 posts in the past week about how we should trade for Courtney Lee. Seriously? Don't get me wrong, I'd love to have him in a Kings uni but we don't need so many fan posts dedicated to a third stringer who doesn't actually play for us, do we? And Gerald Green? You're kidding right? So when it comes to ideas you have for the Kings' front office this offseason, please feel free to post it here. Ziller hardly does any work around here anymore anyway, I hate for his time to be wasted closing crappy posts.

The Asinine Offseason Thread
Okay folks... this shit is getting ridiculous. Not every little idea is cut out to be a FanPost. No one wants to see a thread dedicated to each potential summer acquisition that can be summed up like so: "So and So is a free agent this summer. Wouldn't he look great in a Kings uniform? What do you think?" or "Should we try to trade for so and so? I hear he's available. He'd make a great fit!" We especially don't need these when Ziller's already posted like 9 Free Agent Threads today alone. But who knows? Maybe I'm wrong. If I am then Ziller or Section can feel free to smite me. But on the off chance that I'm right, let's put an end to this madness.
Not all of these posts cut it. I'm sorry, but it's true. That doesn't mean don't try. It just means we need to try a little harder, be a little more original. If you want to see some great FanPosts look at the sidebar under "Recommended FanPosts." There's plenty of examples of how this shit is done. I also highly recommend just about any of these. In now way am I trying to discourage anyone from posting. Not at all. I just want to encourage the best posting possible. So this thread is for random asinine ideas. Post here if your idea is shorter and you have trouble fleshing it out in more than 75 words. We call this BPS (Bizarro Pookey Syndrome).
Don't take this as me trying to be a dick. Do or do not, there is no try... remember?

Proposed nicknames for all 60 2010 NBA draftees
Enjoy the funny from the chill bros over at BDL
The Chicago Bulls have a deal in place that would move Kirk Hinrich and the 17th pick to the Washington Wizards, freeing up enough cap space to pursue two maximum-salary players on this summer's free-agent market, sources with knowledge of the Bulls' plans said Thursday. ... According to one source, the Sacramento Kings are prepared to make a similar deal with the Bulls in the Wizards' stead.
Draft Party Roll Call
Alright StR members. Tomorrow's the big day where Geoff Petrie will choose Greg Monroe over DeMarcus Cousins, much to our chagrin. Luckily, they'll be throwing us a party to celebrate, or lambaste, the front office's decision. Doors open at 3:30. Shindig's at 4:00. Picks start happening around 4:30, with ours being made by 4:55. Also, attendees will receive a free ticket to a select Kings home game, if you're into that sort of thing.
All snarkiness aside, I'm interested to see what StR members will be going. I'm considering going, but I'd be more convinced if I knew some of my fellow StR brethren will also be in attendance. I think it'd be cool to have a mini StR night tomorrow night, especially since I won't be able to attend any for a couple years.
This has nothing to do with the Kings or basketball. If, for some reason, you have a problem with that, too bad. UnStoppAble!
