    New arena name: Golden 1 Center

    Very disappointing for me. As a former longtime member/customer, I can't stand the Golden 1 and their dysfunctional culture. ~~

    Anyone know what this is about? (Resolved: YES)

    Ecstatic? Strong words. My guess is that the last ten years were all a dream. ~~

    [Game] Game 54: Sacramento Kings vs Boston Isaiahs, 2/20/15. 7PM PST, 10PM EST

    For the first time since Malone was fired, I'm looking forward to an evening of watching terrible basketball. Go Kings! ~~

    Thank You, Ramon Sessions

    Thanks Ramon. Our heart was ripped out when lost Travis Outlaw, now we have to go through it all again... See you back here at your jersey retirement ceremony... Hopefully you can Turn Over a new leaf in D.C... I'll stop now. ~~

    Welcome Jason Thompson

    I've always liked JT for what he is, though he probably deserves a better organization. With Coach Karl here, maybe now he'll have one. ~~

    Kings trade Sessions for Andre Miller

    Good move, the last time I was so sure of a move was when we snagged Ramon Sessions. Oh crap. ~~

    Well that got unnecessarily dark really fast... ~~

    Carmichael Dave innuendo, "We are officially at Defcon One"

    If we change coaches this season, is there any way PDA isn't gone also? He staked his reputation, his years of experience, and his status as a "not idiot" on the Corbin for Malone swap. The moment Corbin is out before the end of the season, it's an admission that the season was tanked by that...

    Voisin: Kings are a mess but there's still time to fix it

    OK so let's say that Karl was always the target, and the delay is a result of PDA's abundance of caution and thorough investigation. I still don't see how that theory makes sense with the facts we've observed. If Malone was fired to make way for Karl, why is this investigation being performed...

    Malone fired

    OK I just listened to PDA's interview with Grant and it is terrifying. "Everyone can run, it's just a mindset." No, it's pretty much the opposite of a mindset and much closer to a physical limitation (Hi, Sim). At the same time he has effusive praise for the team's "best player," DeMarcus...

    Draft position thread

    I expect the players and coaches to try to win. The tanking should be executed by the GM not giving the team what it needs to win. Thus I wouldn't expect our rim protector to arrive this season if that's Pete's strategy. I don't mind a well-executed tank. We're not going to the playoffs...

    Summer League format: pre-scheduled or tournament

    Easy answer for me, since I had pre-planned a trip to Vegas for the weekend and hoped to see a game while I was there. But the last-minute scheduling made arranging that outing difficult and I didn't go. Bring back the set schedule! ~~

    Since I haven't been commenting as the season progressed, I'll spill my guts here. Evans was hampered most of last year by injuries, this year he finished at the rim better. He was also MUCH more selective with his jumpers, especially later in the season. Case in point is the game in...

    Welcome Isaiah Thomas

    The Dime article claims Evans is ready and able to "light it up from the outside" and "no one on Sacramento has true two-way capability" (Evans? Greene? Dalembert? Salmons?). Hopefully Thomas' potential is the one aspect about which Mr. Murphy is correct. ~~

    Interesting article about Jimmer, Doug Williams, and Racial Stereotyping

    Jimmer is like some kind of John Stockton/Larry Bird/Shawn Bradley hybrid. ~~

    Beno really settled into an effective role over time, I'm sorry to see him go. Farewell Beno Drano, Tasmanian Slovenian. ~~

    Welcome Jimmer Fredette

    Mormon, Satanist, or Scientologist, I don't care as long as he does his job on the court. And stays out of trouble off the court... guess he shouldn't be picking up any DUIs? Heh. Welcome, Jimmer. ~~

    Did anybody catch the story about Kevin Martin's house in the Bee the other day?

    If Kevin makes a contract with another party that says "I will pay you X amount, or will give up Y as collateral," and then chooses to give up Y as collateral per the terms of the contract, I just don't understand the hate on Kevin for "reneging" on the deal as if he's cheating someone. If Y is...

    Did anybody catch the story about Kevin Martin's house in the Bee the other day?

    It's hard to blame someone for doing something that is both legal and in their best interests. Maybe the problem is the system that recreates this moral hazard millions of times over across the country? ~~
