标题[情报] Insider: Changes coming for the Kings?
时间Thu May 22 18:31:30 2003
From ESPN Insider. Really feel pity for those subscribers.
基本上完全是参考了 Voisin 的 "个人观点" 後加油添醋而成。
参考价值极低。
并且根据过往的经验显示,Geoff Petrie 永远都能完成媒体记者
们完全猜不到的交易。
另外,老板之一的 Gavin Maloof 今天在接受电台访问时指出球队
阵容目前只需要很小幅度的调整 (minor tweaking)。

The pain still hasn't worn off in Sacramento, after losing Game 7
to the Mavs last weekend. For years the Kings have been taking
baby steps toward a title. Last year's seven-game Western
Conference Finals series with the Lakers was supposed to be
evidence that the team had finally arrived.
But a plethora of injuries this season actually forced the Kings to
take a step back. With ultra-aggressive owners the Maloof brothers,
and one of the NBA's top executives, Geoff Petrie, at the helm, will
the Kings shake things up again this summer?
"We can't panic," said Kings co-owner Joe Maloof told the Sacramento
Bee. "But the whole season was a little weird, with all the injuries.
There have to be adjustments, and I don't know what they are yet. Geoff
(Petrie) will know what to do."
Petrie is probably nowhere near ready to decide what has to happen
in Sacramento this summer, but a few tidbits are trickling out here
or there.
The Kings are hoping that either Keon Clark opts out of his contract
this season or that they can trade him this summer if he decides to
stay another year. Clark, who was once considered a top-notch hire,
didn't pan out toward the end of the season. He was supposed to provide
the team with another legit low-post option on offense, and shot
blocking and rebounding on defense. He didn't do much of either.
It's unlikely that Clark will opt out. He didn't do enough to
improve his value, but a trade may work for both sides. Several
teams, including the Blazers (no surprise there), Knicks, 76ers,
Sonics and Pacers have expressed interest. The Kings aren't going
to get an all-star in return, but Clark does have some value.
If Antonio McDyess gets a clean bill of health, a Clark-for-Kurt
Thomas trade could make a lot of sense.
The team also has to decide what to about Jim Jackson and
Hedo Turkoglu. Clearly, coach Rick Adelman favored Jackson
this season. If the team decides to re-sign him this summer,
it needs to move Turkoglu while he still has value.
Turkoglu becomes a restricted free agent at the end of next season
and has already been sending signals to the Kings that he wants
out. The Pistons, Bulls, and Nuggets have all shown interest in
Turkoglu. Both the Pistons, Nuggets and Bulls all have lottery
picks they might be willing to part with (provided they're not
in the top 3) in return for Turkoglu.
Either way the Kings' changes will probably be minor. Long term,
they have to begin thinking about a replacement for Vlade Divac.
He's 35 and, given his offseason work habits, won't last much
longer. That's why grabbing a top pick and nabbing someone like
Chris Kaman may make some sense.
