Sactown Royalty, a Sacramento Kings community

Sounds like a sure thing to me! Break out the champagne, y'all, the Kings are staying :)

great article from Scott-Howard Cooper

I love Evans’ game and think he could emerge as a franchise centerpiece capable of playing point guard, shooting guard or small forward – basically whatever the Kings need. ...The promise of his rookie season was real. If things this season go as right as they should, Evans will be knocking on the top 25 a year from now.

NBA.com's take on the Maloof's response to the Sacramento Government letter.

A well written article on the Kings fan perspective.

Sorry about the shaky camera. Herewestay night at Arco. This is how loud it can get.

DMC listed as #3 for ROY. I liked this quote: "Based on talent alone, Cousins could easily be the favorite to win Rookie of the Year."

In brief recap.. Kings get an A+ for the draft from RealGM. I loved this nugget... "I am more than willing to say the Kings are about 25 games away from being on the level in terms of overall talent in comparison to the Thunder or Blazers, except they are the antichrist version."

Cool little interview here w/ Jason Jones from The Bee. Nothing new information-wise, but it's cool to hear his opinions outside the context of his reporting at the paper. He says the Kings will go for Cousins, or if he's gone, then Monroe. As for the trade rumors involving Prince and Hedo, he says they're hogwash. The one idea he voiced that I thought was interesting was that he said he wanted the Kings to draft Cousins because he has a chippy on-court attitude, and that the only other guy on the Kings with that sort of attitude is Nocioni, who's likely to be traded before the season. I guess he's sort of right. Cisco has a bit of an on-court swagger, Reke to an extent, Omri yeah, Brockman likes to bang... Who else? They're really a bunch of pretty mellow guys. Cousins could definitely be a good emotional spark plug.

...the latest addition to the Kings. Thoughts?
