Sacramento Kings NBA Draft 2009: What I'm Hearing
Instead of pushing this stuff out in various comment threads, I figured I'd collect it in one post. Perhaps there will be enough grist for another edition next week. * Tyreke Evans is back on Sunday precisely because he disappointed in his first visit. If Evans wants to be a King, he needs to blow...
Spinning Kurt Rambis
As linked below by Exhibit G, The Bee's Sam Amick reported on why Paul Westphal ended up beating out Kurt Rambis for the job. [A]fter [Geoff] Petrie had to convince Westphal to stay in the race late last week, he had pressured Rambis' agent, Warren LeGarie, for an answer regarding what it would...

Pardon My Concern
I'm just going to throw out some matters that are bolstering the worry lines developing on my forehead. * It is May 16. The season ended a month ago. The Kings have interviewed two candidates for the coaching job. Two. * It is May 16. The draft is about five weeks away. The Kings have worked out...
