Wait, the Kings still have a GM?

I thought GP had begun his sabbatical and would be back until the trade deadline.

How do Evans, Brockman, and even Omri have twitters but not Speed?

I have no idea why the “Find People” function didn’t find him.

For any further questions, see my sig line.

Hey, how about the nickname Tyreke "Too Easy" Evans?

"It would be my honor to be your new stepfather."

You mean

to anyone who likes to make up nicknames. I’m guilty of making up nicknames for my friends, but why are we already making up nicknames for players who have never played a game in a Kings uni?? Isn’t it the job of his teammates who play and practice with him every day to establish a nickname for him?!? We know little to nothing about his nba skills, and his locker room personality. All we know is he’s a 6’6 combo guard who went to U of Memphis, and has potential to be pretty good. I know we’re all bored right now, and very anxious about seeing some improvements in our team this year… but honestly, no more nicknames I trust his teammates and kings personel to give him a decent nickname when the time is right.

I agree

We should all be more sensible in our entertainment choices. C’mon guys, this is serious business. And get off my lawn!

by AnotherStupidSN on Jul 8, 2009 5:17 PM PDT up reply actions

Jeez again with the nickname dig?

If I want to call Tyreke Evans “Slam-a-jamma-bing-bong” I’m going to.

so for typing in gamethreads we would just shorten it to sajbb

or maybe slamma or if there’s a lot going on just slam.

by Bluejohn on Jul 8, 2009 9:37 PM PDT up reply actions

Except that I don't think I've ever seen Evans dunk

so maybe a more appropriate one would be “Layup-a-jamma-bing-bong”. But that’s even more cumbersome.

by AnotherStupidSN on Jul 8, 2009 9:49 PM PDT up reply actions

I believe Brad Miller has that one trademarked

"It would be my honor to be your new stepfather."

by PhutureKings on Jul 9, 2009 7:11 PM PDT up reply actions

why do we need

a nickname for Evans…..Evans is short and simple and we know who we are talking about

by shadowchicken on Jul 8, 2009 5:45 PM PDT reply actions

Evans? You mean "Slam-a-jamma-bing-bong"?

ROY!

Wouldn’t that be nice.

by cbsf on Jul 8, 2009 5:48 PM PDT reply actions

I don't see why not!

Unless Griffin goes above and beyond expectations.

It certainly would be awesome.

by JETisKing on Jul 8, 2009 8:34 PM PDT up reply actions

Don't count on...

Griffin even meeting expectation….what with MDunleavy coaching and an unmotivated Baron jacking up 3’s all night…oh yeah, is Camby coming off the bench or Cavemen?

Can’t see Thab being all that and Harden’s sharing the court with KD, Evans ROY is def not a pipe dream!!! xD

Now let’s just hope everyone did a good job of evaluating Jennings and the Bucks actually sign Sessions (anyone think we might be able to get him for the cheap? seeing as how the bucks are cutting costs left and right and there’s no real market for sessions since he’s a RFA?)
