<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">For a day, Bonzi Wells pulled it off. He brought the angel when the devil was on the schedule, made a room full of media members wonder how this charming, forthright fellow came into town so vilified. There was the All-American feel at the Kings practice facility Thursday, with the beauty of Wells' longtime girlfriend and the innocence of his three young boys in their brightly colored shirts that warmed the room. The newest King donned dark green slacks and a matching shirt, the getup of choice for a seamless introduction. Wells said all the right things, answered all the tough questions, proclaimed that seven years in the league and two sour endings at his first two stops have turned him into a changed man, an appreciative man, a one-time train wreck who's finally ready to chug along. "When my agent called me and told me there was a chance for me to come (to Sacramento), I was overwhelmed, very happy and excited," said Wells, who was traded in the deal that sent guard Bobby Jackson to Memphis and center Greg Ostertag to Utah. "It was almost like the best day of my life, like draft day, because I get a new chance to redeem myself, to show myself that I can do this on a consistent level without any kind of off-court things that get you off the track sometimes. I don't want to go off the track no more."</div> Source
All I have to say is that Webber was viewed the same way when he got here... Christie had a "uncoachable" tag on him when he got here.... Everyone thought Petrie had lost it when he traded Williams for Bibby....
A few positives surrounding Bonzi and justifying him as a good acquisition ... - He's in a contract year, and will be motivated to get a long term deal - It didn't cost the Kings much to trade for him - Bonzi destroys the Lakers, and the Kings will play them 4 times a year - Bonzi gives the Kings insurance incase Peja decides to leave - Bonzi has a chip on his shoulder and is trying to shed his "uncoachable" tag
