Re:Kings – yeah, it’s an awful rostisserie in Sacramento right now. There are a lot of similar pieces at each position that offer little variance from one another. So if Donte Greene is cold today, he’ll be benched for Omri Casspi tomorrow. Until, of course, Casspi goes cold. The thing is, everyone on the Kings is struggling. Across the board and a lot of it has to do with the constant tinkering. No one is able to gel. I havn’t looked this up, but I’d be shocked if Westphal has played the same starting five more than three times this season.

There’s no growth, certainly no development. The Kings look like they’re playing the first game of the season over and over. And they look that way because they essentially are.

Quick question that might come out of left field – what’s going on with the Kings? I was a Garcia owner for a while, and I liked his stats but reluctantly dropped him because of the fluctuation in minutes. Is there a method to Westphal’s madness, is the team trying to tank in the guise of “player development”, or is it something else?

BTW, Adam, keep up the great work. Money’s a bit tight so I haven’t bought a screwdriver yet, but once I win my league (positive thinking), I’ll be sure to throw some of my meager earnings your way.

@24hourjack: I wouldn’t, no. Achilles injuries almost always take a long time to recover from. Even if he’s playing, he won’t be 100 percent for a long time. He recently complained of being unable to go to his left because of how hindered he feels on his right leg. I’m not sure you should buy at all, much less low.
