Player Development department...Where are You?

A few months ago I wrote an article about DC on Sactown Royalty which was met with a certain degree of skepticism, derision, and sarcasm by the fine folks who troll this site. Mainly, I got a schooled on punctuation issues and formatting with very little feedback on the content. I pointed out that Cousins was a "Sackful", loaded with talent and enthusiasm but short on life experience. His background and immaturtity could add up as explosive when pouring in the fuel (money). I indirectly suggested that the team spend time to help him grow to make it in the NBA "professional" world. I urged you to accept him as immature, yes... but a punk, NO! When that much money is at stake, why don't teams understand that a good investment needs to mature. Cousins doesn't need help around the basket, as many of you suggest. He can do all of the physical things required with one hand behind his back while wearing a body built by Catepillar. C'mon people! Demarcus needs positive but firm help growing up to be a man in a man's world. He's barely 20. How many of us remember those days? Piece a cake, huh? Teams need comraderie, while coaches exploit competitiveness among them by playing with their minds and fragile egos, then claiming they need to realize this is a "profession". Paul Westphal has no business trying to relate to young men because he was never one himself. He was born grown up. With this team, stocked with promising future stars, X's and O's are only marginal help. BUild Chemistry by promoting the unique talents of each one and their TEAM mission of winning a title if they love and care about each other as brothers, not enemies. Give them ample time together socially and promote harmony among them. Drop the thin layer of varnish you paint over your bigotry and prejudices. Hope you're happy Sac(k)townies! maybe you'll listen instead of twirping about my shift key this time!

Opening Night Sellout?

Anyone know how many tickets have been sold for opening night? I can't go as I live in Portland, OR but I'm curious to see how attendance has been affected with all the relocation and arena drama. I believe last year an alarm was raised when it was learned only 5000 tickets had been sold, prompting the movement to sellout the first two home games.

Doug Christie

Does anybody know where I can purchase a Doug Christie Jersey? I have been searching everywhere for one(Craigslist, Ebay,etc.), but no luck. Thanks in advance

Questions regarding the Kings vs Nuggets April 1st

How will the board of governors vote go down?

I realized the whole situation is still fluid and a lot of factors could change, but what are the how will the Board of Governors vote go down? That seems to be the last hope for Sacramento that the Kings will not move Obviously the Lakers and Clippers will vote no, but how will the other teams vote?

Sorry RekeROY, I'm having an inner Judas moment here...

I was ready to drop the cheddar on a personalized authentic Griffin jersey. Not only because my last name is "Griffin" but because this guy got me started on college basketball. The Kings were so horrible that I actually started "scouting" the unanimous #1 overall talent. Because of a knee injury for Griffin, it took an extra year but seriously today for some reason I'm just sitting here wishing that he was ours to enjoy as Kings fans. Explosive dunks, Powerful in the post, Gingery Appearance, What's not to love? I realize that this may come across as ungrateful for the exciting game winners and ROY season that our NaPG has provided us but DAMMIT, the world needed to know what I was feeling today. Blake Griffin, you should've been ours. I feel better now... Thanks for listening.

Free ticket to Kings-New Orleans this Sunday

I've got two tickets to the Hornets game this Sunday and nobody from Santa Rosa wants to make the trip with me (God Damn Warriors fans). Not even trying to sell it, just wouldn't mind if a die-hard Kings fan would want to go for free. The seat is in section 213 (center-ish court, upper deck, row H). So we should be able to throw things at Section214 and his wife if the game gets really boring. Let me know if you want to go, email me at devpaddock@gmail.com. If several people apply, I guess I'll just choose the person based on how curious I am to find out what they look like. PEACE!

Suggestion

I think that a discussion thread would be cool. I don't mean a game thread or a trade thread, but a more general one where people could post about any team's news they want. The thread could be about anything NBA related. I know this is a Kings website, but I think that making one every week or few weeks would be very popular and fun to have.
