[blakmn89]

glad keith dumbs gone his rotation were god awful :x

 

[imapizzaguy]

Just happy to see moves being made. Idk much about Malone but I hope he's our guy.

 

[Deleted member 38182]

talk about conflicting reports 

I really hope Malone, the new GM, and Vivek give DMC a chance to thrive and mature.

And for those asking, new ownership has no intention of trading DeMarcus Cousins, so I'm told. Cuz supposed to meet w/ Ranadive soon.

Source in tune with Kings' hiring of Mike Malone as coach suggests move was made with the idea that DeMarcus Cousins "is a goner."

^^^ yes. i will alwys have faith demarcus can turn things around

 

[lightweight champion]

Scott Howard Cooper was on with Peaches earlier and he notioned that not many teams are interested in trading for Cousins unless its firesale price. Curious and inquiring? A lot of teams will be. Interested in trading? The options aren't plentiful. I say hold onto him if that's the case, but I hope Jason Jones is right.

I would hate to lose DMC just because he can't get his attitude together. When will we ever draft someone with that talent again? I'll pray for him.

 

[tyrekeevans]

so its official...

excited for this team

Now that we got Chris Paul's favorite coach....... he should join him in Sacramento 

 

[Deleted member 38182]

in honor of Keith Smart's firing and Mike Malone's hiring, here are some classic dumb gifs

Malone seems like an amazing coach

 

[tyrekeevans]

kings needed someone firm like malone. dude looks like he doesnt take any **** from players

also, its actually a good deal. pretty reasonable price to get him as the coach

 

[tyrekeevans]

Now that we got Chris Paul's favorite coach....... he should join him in Sacramento 

one can only dream

 

[Deleted member 38182]

Monta Ellis to the Kings rumors are heating up now that Malone has been named coach....... I would welcome this ONLY if it means we are signing and trading Tyreke away, possibly getting rid a combination of IT/Thornton/Jimmer, and just overall blowing up this team. 

and from some of the tweets I've been reading from local and national writers, I really don't think DMC is going anywhere

 

[daprescription]

Monta is cool, but you don't want him as your teams best player. Kings should'nt overpay him, and they need to get Cousins head right if they want to get to that next level.

 

[mister916]

Ellis is unrestricted?

 

[bentrill]

no to monta. i would rather see what da new coach does with jimmmer

 

[daprescription]

Ellis is unrestricted?

He has a player option, in Milwaukee, he's a free agent.

 

[lightweight champion]

Would Monta opt out? I don't see why any team, especially the Kings, would offer him $10 milllion or more per year when he's just a volume scorer. We already have Thornton who does that for $3-4 million less.

I do not want Monte in exchange for getting rid of Tyreke. No thanks. Worse defense, older, terrible usage rate. I could see them playing together more than swapping. I would go Tyreke all the way if that is my only choice. We would probably have to pay Monte a higher amount than Tyreke also since he is restricted.

I'm not saying I want Monta as a replacement for Tyreke.

I'm saying I would welcome Ellis if it means blowing up and reshaping this team, meaning saying bye to any/all of our guards.

From the news coming out in Milwaukee is that he wanted out... not sure if that means it was because he didn't like it there or because he's looking for a bigger contract. Hopefully the former 

 because ain't no way in hell would I want the Kings to pay him a dime more than what he's making now.

no to monta. i would rather see what da new coach does with jimmmer

I wouldn't ever put Ellis and Jimmer's name in the same sentence

In honor of escrow closing today and the ownership transfer officially happening today, lets celebrate the silly fellas up north who prematurely celebrated.

Whats even better is that this pic is taken at the Sacramento Airport.

 

[senorroboto2k5]

did you go yourself to take a picture of the Maloof sign?

 

[Deleted member 38182]

 no no, the producer of the Kings radio broadcast took that picture 

 

[a2thedr]

It's so exciting to see new owners breath new life into the Kings. It has not been easy being a kings fan.
