A Vlade Tribute: To Remember the Better Times

The Kings are on the verge of leaving Sacramento...sad. Here is a video to remember some of the best times of the Sacramento Kings.

A Great Way to End the Year

The Kings said good riddance to a terrible 2010 (except for Tyreke winning Rookie of the Year), with this great buzzer beater. In the words of Shaquille O'neal: "One lucky shot, deserves another." Maybe it will be the start to a better 2011.

Maloof's Renegotiaing Palms' Debt Structure

Article in the SacBee about the Maloof's renegotiating their Palms' debt structure. The article also notes that the Kings are in a solid financial situation, even if 2011 NBA season is a lockout.

"City Treasurer Russ Fehr said his review of the Kings' books tells him the team is capable of paying its annual $5 million-plus debt here.

Maloof said team finances have stabilized this year and 'the Kings are in good shape. Our revenues are up.'"

Attention K-Mart Shoppers...

Your opportunity to acquire K-Mart has passed.

The Kings made the blockbuster trade of the 2009-10 season today in a 3-way trade with New York and Houston. Congrats to Houston who now gets the frail 110 pound frame of one of the most 1 dimensional players in the league. He's a GREAT and EFFICIENT scorer, but is a huge liability on the defensive end. With a young team like Sacramento, they can't afford to have gaping holes on D, and they needed better D, their offense is fine as is. A great fit in Houston where they have a good defense that can fill the gaps that he leaves exposed.

This also frees up a ton of cap room for this summer's free agency market. It should make this summer a fun one!!

Here is the visual breakdown of the trade:

Tyreke Evans!!! MVP of Rookie vs. Sophomore Game

Tyreke Evans, push stronger toward that Rookie of the Year bid!! 26 Points, 6 Rebounds, 5 Assists and 5 Steals...

Dejuan Blair played outta his mind too with 22 points and 23 rebounds.

Casspi and Evans Playing in Rookie Sophomore Challenge

It's pretty cool that 2 Kings Rookies were selected for the NBA All-Star Rookie vs. Sophomore Challenge. The future looks bright in Sac!

Tyreke Evans - Rookie of the Year...

Tyreke Evans so far this season should be the undisputed Rookie of the Year...he's been incredible all season. Brandon Jennings was great early on, but has started to fade away (much like his new Fresh Prince 'do) as the season progresses. So while Brandon Jennings is changing his hair from
