lets see if the rest pan out. Friday afternoon, Petrie had a press confrence and confirmed that Adelman will be back next season. Along with that he expressed that he is happy that the core of the team is under contract for next year and there will not be drastic changes next season. Now, what he means by drastic, who knows. He did say that there would be some changes however.
Some changes should always be expected and that is what the offseason is for. I'm glad he has decided to keep this core together, he would be foolish not to. I hope he explores the option of trading Webber. I don't know if anyone would be willing but it wouldn't be a bad idea to explore.
Stojakovic, Christie, Bibby and Miller all have years remaining on their contracts so they will probably stay. Petrie has said that Divac was 'the heart and the soul" of the team so they will most likely do everything to resign him. The only big name that would be invovlved in a trade would be Webber: he has recently declared that he really appreciated the players but on the other hand, he also was quite resentful of all the booing he suffered from the crowd at some games..

Changes will be made,and i'd like to see some more defensive players with us next year...it's great that Adelman is sticking around,and we have our stars like Webber,Bibby,Peja here still What move is next for the Kings??
going out & getting some defense. artest/ben wallace type guy (that is IF one can be found for the right price)
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting harbingerofdoom:</div><div class="quote_post">going out & getting some defense. artest/ben wallace type guy (that is IF one can be found for the right price)</div> what about a trade with portland to get ruben patterson, he is a defensive demon and a very underrated player? because artest and ben wallace are certainly not available this year.

give them wallace and ANY AMOUNT OF MONEY/TRADES THEY WANT (are you starting to get the hint that i think its time for wallace to go?) ...and im kiddin about any amount of money... but not about wallace

sure there is wallace smith buford peeler any of them are expendable given that you get something good in the way of defence as a return. the other problem that is going to happen that some have not thought of... where are any role players going to get minutes from? especially if they are not solid defensive contributors or can score points in a real hurry? we all know that adelman doesnt go that deep in his bench very often
the change will occur most noticeable to the bench...Petrie said he wants to get some strong to come in behind Peja...we'll see what goes down
No way Petrie lets a guy like Patterson in the lockeroom. Besides, why would you want him? One bad game from Kobe and Patterson thinks he owns him. He's overrated, if anything.
