I don’t know, the clippers have a good team on paper, but their still the clippers. Some freak accident is going to happen at one point or another.

someone let me know when K-Mart learns to do something besides pump-fake drive or shoot a J.

It’s a battle between the kings and twolves(al jefferson won’t be ready for an NBA season) for worst team in the league

If the Kings can just play hard, be fun to watch, and win a fair amount it would be great. The last few years have been miserable to watch. Bad coaching compounded by dispirited players has been painfully apparent. It is hard on us fans who remembers the Kings kicking butt and taking names.

I feel ya Bruce..but Tyreke is sick and I think he is going to find a way to become an all star in due time, regardless who is in the mix.

I agree with everything Steve Gomez and Willis said you can tell they really watch the Kings and don’t just make assumptions. @ Bruce the allstar game will look a lot different when Reke is in his prime and a lot of these older vets start to retire. Not to mention the fact that all the people you named get voted in Reke could make it as a coaches selection.

I’ll definitely be rooting for Martin and the Kings this season. I love all the young and motivated players willing to work hard for success.

They might be hard to beat at ARco this year but they aint playoff worthy yet.

Tyreke cannot be an All-STAR PG. In the west, you have CP#, D-Will, Tony, Baron, and Nash just re-upped.

For the SG spot, Kobe and you can forget about it.

@ Kobeef

Aron never said anything about a chip. He didn’t even mention the playoffs. Nobody is thinking the Kings will be a playoff team. They’re not. All he’s saying is that K-Mart is putting in the work to get better. a lot of players take the summer off.

And as far as your comparison of Shock to Chris Wilcox…I’m guessing your just ignorant. Because if you watched any Kings games last year you wouldn’t make that comparison. Shock is quicker and more athletic. Wilcox is better in the post but once Shock adds some muscle his post game wiil improve. Shock could be an all-star. I don’t think anyone has said that about Wilcox.

Dude normally I got your back, but you really don’t know about the Kings. For one, Nocioni is our starting 3, and Spencer Hawes can be pretty damn good. Kid owns Bynum, at least (not very hard.) Expect the Kings to be rising next season, win about 30-35 games while watching Thompson, Evans, Greene, Casspi, and Hawes improve drastically.

Tyreke is a 6’5″ PG. That is just the way it is. As for the concerns about him being a “true point” a la CP3 or Deron Williams, he isn’t. He is 6′ 5″. From what I have seen so far, he looks like Chauncey Billups out there with an ugly yet effective shot.

A better comparison for Thompson at this point would be a poor mans Amare. Hawes is really his own player, he can do everything out on the court. Check out some of his highlight reels on youtube before you say he is the guy that dooms us. I think after Martin, he has the best chance to become an all-star.
