Editor's Note: A correction has been made to one of the quotes in this story after it was published.   Kings past and present were reunited on a rainy Saturday afternoon at Power Balance Pavilion, the latest in a series of events showing appreciation for potential and current season ticket holders. An estimated 6,000 fans filed in to the dimly-lit arena and stood in line for their complimentary barbeque lunch and hours of entertainment that would follow, a bigger showing than some games last season. Former NBA all-star Mitch Richmond, lock-down defender Doug Christie, Brad Miller and fan-favorite Bobby Jackson all made appearances, as well as current players Tyreke Evans and Donte Gre

It all began just like any other training camp gathering. The players hit the floor to do some stretching, jogging and even doing the “monster walk” to get flexible and be ready to bang some bodies. It was a day like any other day this past week. Except this time, there was a major difference. The practice had been moved out of the Kings’ practice facility and over to Arco Arena. Oh, and one more thing. There were people watching – lots of people. The Sacramento Kings raised the curtain on their new-look team on Sunday for all to see for the first time since making some major acquisitions and building their team with draft picks in the off season. It was the first scrimmage held this y

In the second part of my two-part look at the Kings prior to training camp and preseason activities, I focus on the forward situation and possible lineups that Head Coach Paul Westphal could throw out there to start the season. Since going to print with part one, the Kings have added one more forward to the roster. Marcus Landry is a 6-foot 7-inch second-year forward out of Wisconsin who is also Carl Landry’s younger brother. Add to that the previously mentioned forwards – Conner Atchley, Darnell Jackson and six-year pro Antoine Wright – and you’ve got four players vying for maybe one spot. I think that this is so much easier to do than calculating what the staff will do with the guard s

Every year at this time, a group of young NBA hopefuls gather at the Sacramento Kings’ training facility in an effort to impress the coaching staff enough to get a shot at their dream – making an NBA roster. Usually, prospective players are brought in only to give the main roster someone to scrimmage against or in case someone goes down with an injury. The difference this year is that it looks like two of them have a real chance of making the team and getting playing time. With 10 spots all but sealed-up, there should be some real competition going on during training camp and early in the preseason. In this two-part look at what the Kings’ options appear to be in searching for the ultim

The Sacramento Kings held the “NBA’s GREATEST Draft Lottery Party” late Tuesday, and like many Kings fans that were in attendance, I felt the event didn’t live up its title. While the event was fun, the outcome of the lottery was a disappointment. The Kings had the third best chances of winning the lottery but came up short, getting the fifth pick in the 2010 NBA Draft. Kings fans covered the streets on the corner of Capitol and 18th hoping for a top selection in the draft. Pre-disappointment, Gavin Maloof, Jerry Reynolds, Donte Greene and Head Coach Paul Westphal spoke with the fans. The Sacramento Kings Dance Team and Kings Breakers also performed before they went live with the NBA D

The reaction to Washington Wizards Javaris Crittenton and Gilbert Arenas' involvement with guns in their locker room at the Verizon Center has been shock, surprise, amazement and an unending curiosity. Those were the feelings expressed before and after the Phoenix Suns' 113-109 victory over the Sacramento Kings at Arco Arena Tuesday night, before an announced crowd of 13,630. Many of the Sacramento Kings and Phoenix Suns want to hear what really occurred on Dec. 21, when Arenas says he showed Crittenton three guns as "a joke" in response to a beef the pair had two nights earlier on and following a card game on a flight to Washington from Phoenix. Arenas has admitted having guns in the ar
