Interesting, I guess Petrie, et al weren't overwhelmed with Singletary's work in Vegas.

I had heard Brown was one of the more surprising players in Vegas. So this could be very good news for our very shaky PG situation.

This is a pretty amazing story, IMO. Will this open the floodgates for other NBA players to see Europe as a realistic option for employment?

"Kings source tells me (Detroit) have not called Sacramento, and I wouldn't be shocked if no one else had recently either. I'm told it's quiet enough that Kings basketball president Geoff Petrie is heading out for a vacation..."

The pillowgators will get you every time.

Keep in mind that some salaries (like Derrick Rose) aren't up yet because his salary hasn't been released to the public. (That's assuming the Bulls have signed him. They may not have yet.) And having looked on ESPN's trade checker they do not list Rose's salary. Remember that this is the summer when almost all salary is being negotiated. The only 2 things the Kings have to do this summer is trade Artest and extend Francisco Garcia's contract if they choose. (Both parties might choose to wait until next off-season to negotiate.)

Two straight blog posts that are fairly critical - first of Beno and then of JT. Scott Howard-Cooper is slowly moving into "nattering nabob of negativity" territory.

I think we all know Beno has a lot to prove (particulary on his resiliency over the course of a season), and JT is going to take his lumps against NBA talent. But come on - these guys are both young and talented. And to say that JT's defense and rebounding has to improve dramatically to take minutes from Mikki Moore implies that Mikki is a decent rebounder/defender. Which he really isn't for a seven-footer.

They call him their "Favorite Clutch Player" from the summer leagues. Nice.
