Lenard carries an expiring contract ($3.5 million this season). With Patterson due next $7 million next season, Portland saves just over $3 million in salary. The Kings will receive Sonics center Vitaly Potapenko and Blazers forward Sergei Monia. Potapenko has only one season left on his deal at $3.7 million in 2006-07. </div> Source Kings unload Skinner's contract and add a nice prospect in Monia.
Very funny. Don't worry, Vitaly! I'll never forget you (and the fact that you could have kept our 2004-05 season alive if you were just an inch taller)!
Roffle. Check out my ananylis of the different ways to say Potapenko (have fun with this name, Kings fans): Puhtapenko Pa-top-penk-o And, of course, Craig Ehlo's pronunciation: Pud-nopenko
