Sean Deveney of the Sporting News agrees with my "desperate" verdict, and says that's leading to some front office scrambling. Of the blockbuster, bring-in-another-star variety: "Heading into training camp, the Kings could revive the trade talk that surrounded SF Ron Artest and PG Mike Bibby early in the offseason. The Heat, which struck out in its attempts to land SF Mickael Pietrus, G Charlie Bell, PG Maurice Williams and PG Steve Francis, is getting desperate, and rumors of a deal that would send either Bibby or Artest to Miami have new life. Sacramento won't have significant salary cap room 'til the summer of 2009, but the team would like to be able to clear room for next summer's strong free-agent class." These rumors aren't new, but they've certainly got more urgency this time around. Either Bibby or Artest would fit wonderfully with the Heat, and allow them to challenge Boston and Detroit down the stretch.</td> </tr> </tbody> </table>
