The Kings have made some bullshit moves, trading Jackson for Wells was without a doubt the worst. Anyway, they lost their only chance to win a title in 2002

NIK/NIB of course they wont be as good as the Prime Kings with C Webb at his best, but I still think they will improve on last seasons team... But we shall have to wait n see...

We'll see...I think chemistry is important, and like the Lakers from last year proved, it takes time for chemistry to build...And Shareef is passed his prime. Peja is passed his prime. Bibby is passed his prime. Bobby Jackson is gone. Bonzi Wells is good, but not a winner...Doug Christie, Chris Webber, Vlade Divac, Cuttino Mobely, Bobby Jackson, all gone within a year. And when the Kings will start losing, Rick Adlemen's getting fired...That's just my prediction though...PeACe
Wow,Bibby and Peja passed thier prime? Bibby is still a top 5 point guard and Peja although streaky as hell and gets lost come playoff time is one of the best pure scorers in the league. The funny thing is that besides Jackson the players you say made the kings a playoff team are the ones "passed their prime". Webber never recovered from the knee and it shows,As a lakers fan you should know what point Vlades carrer is at,Christie is not the player he once was either hence the move for Mobley last year. Wells obviously has to prove he can be an impact player but should fill in for Mobley. I'll admit not havin Jackson on the bench hurts Sacramento but whens the last time he was healthy anyway? Every year Adelman is always rumored to be getting the axe and this year will no doubt be the same, but every year he delivers a winning ball club. The addition of Shareef to the frontcourt along with Miller can only help them and make them a contender in the west.

Peja will never have another season like his breakthrough 03-04 season again...Bibby is honestly the only player who seems willing to win on the team. And face it, your bench looks like shit...You got Kenny Thomas and Eddie House coming off the bench...I remember the days when Hedo Turkoglou was coming off the bench hittin' them threes...Bonzi Wells is troubled in the head. Christie supplied that defense, which is now missing. I dunno, this just seems like the bad sequel of a movie. I mean, don't get me wrong, the starting 5 looks like something to drewl over, but the way the team comes together is very important, and I'm just not seeing it...Good luck though, I like Shareef and Bonzi had some good seasons in Portland, lets see how they help the team...PeACe

I admit the bench is a big question mark and as always Sac will have to rely soley on offense to win games. But it always seems that every year someone comes through and gives the bench a boost and thats what im hopin for. Shareef cannot replace Webber in my mind but hopefully he can make them competitive again.
