KINGS ARE A REBUILDING TEAM. You don't rebuild around Ron Artest, Bonzi Wells, John Salmos, Cuttino Mobley. John is succeeding in Chicago because he's getting PT but he's being outshined again by Gordon and Rose. He'll whine again. Artest was a good trading piece and he caused too much controversy in the locker room. And Bonzi is where? And Mobley?

you are crazy! Look at the past draft picks we have gotten. Jason Thompson, and Spencer Hawes which are both going to develop into fabulous players. Geoff Petrie is one of the smartest GM's in the business, because he looks at talent, not media exposure. And I respect him for that.

:01 to :08 is a nice beat.

1 clippers lock in on griffin 2 memphis preffer to pick hasheen thabet over griffin oaklahoma city??? lets pray they'll pass on rubio..

I want Rubio but at number 4 I dont think its going to happen. Whetver we do, we have good big men in Hawes and Thompson. We need a damn good point guard who knows defense.

fire petrie? petrie might be the only reason why rubio will come here.. petrie has made stars out of international players like peja and hedo. he has drafted quite a good amount of talent too.. who are we going to get if you fire him? isiah? hes just starting his rebuild.. you cant drop him

[freejdc1]

Why are you idiots jumping on my back for my opinions, if you don't like what I think then who cares. I THINK the kings should fire Petrie. In two years he will probably trade spencer or jason. I think he should be fired period. And they're looking at jrue holiday he's not worth going in the first round let alone the 4th spot.

[robocopem]

You rebuild around young players like Greene, Hawes, Martin, & Thompson. Look at Portland. Petrie knows what he's doing. You don't fire a guy like that

[BJTfilms]

RUBIO! RUBIO! RUBIO!

[freejdc1]

Is that all you can do is mention the last two drafts. Here's two more good players he let get away bonzi wells, cuttino mobley and all you can do is mention two players who haven't proven anything. And he didn't bring controversy while he played in sac he was the leading scorer and actually wanted to play here. not many players do. John Salmons had a reason to whine (which he didn't) because he was the best player when kmart went down. Underated scouts? Quincy Douby?

[PHEDIAXL]

which I will mention again, he is probably one of the most under rated scouts in the league. He did a great job in the last 2 drafts with the picks he had to work with, and he apparently doesn't get any appreciation from it.
