Perhaps this is a heartless poll, but let's be realistic about the viability of the newspaper industry right now -it stinks. 

Sacbee lists 4 folks covering the Kings/NBA, 5 if you include Marty McNeal's occasional piece.  That's probably too many by 2.  Who can we most do without?  Bottom 2 are out.

My username indicates my vote #1.   Sadly, my other vote would be for McNeal.  The guy put in his time on the beat, but he's not adding any value now.  

I'm up for replacing howard-cooper and bringing back RE Graswich as well.
