Geoff Petrie's European Tour

Ailene Voison noted on her blog yesterday that Geoff Petrie has been spending some time scouting the Euro talent (Voison also notes on the previous day's blog that Rob from Roseville is hilarious, so maybe we should take this information with the old silo of salt).

With the #12 #1, #42 and #45 picks, what do you think the odds are that Petrie picks up a player or two from Europe?

Rob-214, Paul-106 Advance!

All hail the power of Sactown Royalty. Thanks to your incredible voting efforts, Rob-214 and Paul-106 have advanced to the finals of the luckiest Kings fan.

The final drawing will be held on Sunday, May 11, at Chris Webber's Center Court Restaurant. KXTV 10 will be broadcasting live from 3-3:30 PM. Everyone is welcome to attend the festivities.

Regardless of the outcome, I want to thank all of you that helped get Paul and me to this point. However, now that I no longer need your votes I will go back to being the disagreeable jerk that I was before this whole thing started. So long, suckers!

Hi, I'm Rob-214 and I approved of this ad.

TZ Minus 11 - Campaign Nears End (Thank God!!!)

First of all, sincerest apologies to anyone who has been turned off by my daily doses of begging, pleading, shilling and cajoling for votes on behalf of Paul-106 and myself (Rob-214). You will be pleased to know that the campaign now enters its last two (or three) days. Paul and I have nearly exhausted our campaign funds, and quite frankly we've both grown weary after spending the last two weeks being pursued by women who love "men of power."

Here's the voting link.  Don't do it for Paul. Don't do it for me. Don't do it for yourself. Do it for the future generations of Kings fans, the one's that will travel to see the games at Cal Expo, transported via gigantic pneumatic tubes. Do it for them. Do it. Do it.

Hi I'm Rob-214 and I approved of this ad.

Slow News Day - All Time Kings Roster By Height

I can't even begin to justify this post, so please feel free to hijack the thread and talk about anything you like...

Note - Heights determined by Kings media guide. Sacramento era players only.

  • 5'7"  Spud Webb     The one and only.
  • (No players at 5'8" or 5'9")
  • 5'10"  Tyus Edney     Sparked our 1st playoff run in 10 years
  • 5'11"  Jim Les     Sharp shooting stock broker.
  • 6'0"  Bobby Hurley     What might have been.
  • 6'1"  Bobby Jackson     Just beats out Jason Williams.
  • 6'2"  Mike Bibby     6'2"? 6'2"?!?
  • 6'3"  Kenny Smith     Beats out sharp shooters Anthony Johnson, Randy Brown and Jason Hart.
  • 6'4"  Vinnie Del Negro     Or you can substitute Terry DeHere or Anthony Peeler.
  • 6'5"  Mitch Richmond     'Nuff said.
  • 6'6"  Doug Christie     Next best = Jim Jackson.
  • 6'7"  Reggie Theus     Beats out eclectic group that includes Ron Artest, Eddie Johnson, Lionel Simmons, Corliss Williamson, and...K9(woof!).
  • 6'8"  Walt Williams     What a difference an inch makes? The Wizard nudges out Rodney McCray.
  • 6'9"  Wayman Tisdale     Better bass player than Brian Grant.
  • 6'10"  Chris Webber     Beats out Peja and Tank Thompson.
  • 6'11'  Scot Pollard     Over sentimental favorite Mike Peplowski, but give Pep an assist for Hurley being on the list.
  • 7'0"  Brad Miller     Beats OP and (sigh) Joe Kleine.
  • 7'1"  Vlade Divac     10 feet tall in the locker room.
  • 7'2"  Greg Ostertag     No, really! What, you wanted Dwayne Schintzius or Martin Nessley?
  • 7'3"  Randy Breuer     -Insert own comment here-
  • 7'4"  Ralph Sampson     Of course by the time he got to us he couldn't straighten out his knees and was actually only 6'9".

Slow...news...day...

TZ Minus 12 - Democratic Presidential Race, Kings Luckiest Fan Still Undecided

While Obama and Clinton continue to battle it out for the Democratic Presidential nomination, Rob-214 and Paul-106 continue on their campaign trails for the luckiest Kings fan.

Yesterday Paul-106 spent most of his day in the Delta, glad handing potential voters and eating crawfish with the locals. "My so called opponents are out of touch with today," he declared. "One of them even said that he would use the #1 pick on Joe Kleine!"

Meanwhile, Rob-214 was in Paul-106's own back yard and was in a philosophical mood. "Marysville is in Yuba County but Yuba City is in Sutter County. Can someone explain that to me? It makes no sense!"

Both candidates agree on one thing - they both still need your votes to reach the finals on Sunday. "We've come a long way," stated Rob-214. "But we're not to the finish line yet. Paul-106 and I need your support for a few more days. We need StR representation at the 2008 NBA draft lottery!"

Daily voting link.

TZ Minus 13: With The 1st Pick Of The 2008 NBA Draft, The Sacramento Kings Select -

It's May 20th and I'm sitting in New Jersey with representatives from each of the 14 lottery teams. From up close I can tell that Pat Riley has indeed had botox. Brandon Roy seems to be a really nice guy, and I chat Kevin McHale up about coming to Sacramento to work with Spencer Hawes and Shelden Williams on their low post games, though McHale gets confused, thinks that I am tryintg to trade him Hawes and Williams and responds by offering Al Jefferson, Al Roker and Al Yankovic.

We are all seated behind our podiums. Michael Heisley is spinning around and around in his chair and yelling "wheee!!!" Chris Mullin has been shooting wads of paper into a trash can and has made 37 in a row. Elgin Baylor has dozed off and is snoring lightly, his head resting peacefully on Donnie Walsh's shoulder. Clay Bennett keeps trying to relocate his seat.

The ceremony begins. Golden State gets drawn first, followed by Portland. Indiana gets pulled next, meaning that we've jumped into the top three! The rest of the teams get pulled in order until we get to the Knicks, who have also jumped into the top three. Miami winds up with the 3rd pick...the Knicks get the 2nd pick...and we win the #1 pick!!!

Jim Gray asks me who I think we should take with the pick. While giggling like a school girl I manage to blurt out "Joe Kleine!" Then I compose myself and state, "Hey, I've done my part. Now it's up to the Maloof's, Geoff Petrie and the coaching staff to decide. I do like Michael Beasley  and Derrick Rose , though."

So the pick is ours! Who do you like, and why?

Poll
With the 1st pick of the 2008 NBA draft, the Sacramento Kings select:
  • Michael Beasley
  • Derrick Rose
  • Other

Luckiest Fan Update

OK, here's the latest -

The 2nd round of voting will determine the six people that will go to the "finals," which will be held at 3 PM this Sunday at Chris Webber's Centre Court Restaurant, with a live telecast on KXTV 10. The winner will be drawn from the finalists.

So should I (Rob-214) make it to the finals, there is a 1 in 6 chance that I will win the trip to New York (oh, alright kingme18 - New Jersey). Should you also help friend of StR Paul-106 into the finals we have a 1 in 3 chance in at least having one of our "candidates" make it there.

This sort of ruins the dream that I had, where Paul-106 and I are the last two candidates and we run a vicious smear campaign against each other. I photoshop a picture of Paul-106 wearing a gold "We Believe" T-shirt, while he accuses me of enlisting E-Muss as my spiritual advisor. The death blow for Paul-106 comes when he picks up the recommendation and backing of Peaches, which ultimately costs him the election.

Here's the daily voting link.  Thanks in advance for your support.

The Luckiest Fan, Round II

Thanks largely to you, my ballot stuffing friends, I (Rob-214) have advanced to the 2nd round of the luckiest fan contest (Paul-106 made it, too!).

The 2nd round bracket is up and you can vote, even if you already voted earlier today. My understanding is that this round will run through this week. Vote early, vote often, and thank you very much for getting me to the 2nd round.

With This Ring I Thee...

Mike Bibby has gone fishing. As has Bobby Jackson and Rick Adelman. Likewise Brian Skinner. And Darius Songaila. And for what it's worth, Kevin Ollie, Louis Amundson, Tyronn Lue and Loren Woods.

So whom do we live vicariously through? To whom do we attach our post King, post season allegiance?

Four of the eight remaining playoff teams have former Kings on their roster:

  • Boston has Scot Pollard and Eddie House.
  • New Orleans has Peja Stojakovic and Bonzi Wells.
  • Orlando has Hedo Turkoglu and Maurice Evans.
  • Utah has Ronnie Price and Jason Hart.
  • Detroit, Cleveland, San Antonio and the Lakers (thank God!) boast no former Kings.

So who are you pulling for? Which of these guys do you want to see at the White House? Who do you want to see on SportsCenter this fall when they receive their championship rings on opening night? Or would you like to see all of them go home with nothin'?

Poll
I'm pulling for:
  • Scott and Eddie
  • Peja and Bonzi
  • Hedo and Mo
  • Ronnie and (ugh!) Jason
  • No rings for us, no rings for them (but I'm not bitter...)

TZ Minus 14

Well, our fearless leader is gone for the next two weeks. I scoured the web looking for a concise link that would sum up how it's going to be now that I'm in charge.

Click here.

In a nutshell? This is a good time for all of you to get to work on those fanpsots and fanshots that you've been putting off, while I sit here juggling ball bearings and mumble about missing strawberries.

More to follow in a little while. Meanwhile,

Rock The Vote!
