The team is clearly in rebuilding mode but patience is key, good pieces in the mix:

SF - Kevin Martin

Martin would be a killer addition to a Playoff team in need of wing scoring. Stick him on the Raptors or Jazz and they become instant contenders (though the Jazz are pretty close already). However, on a rebuilding club it's going to take some effort on the part of Martin to keep his skill-set sharp and his momentum going forward. He's gotten better every year that he's been in the league but he is still an unfinished product (his defense and turnovers are still concerns) and he cannot forget that just because he's now the team's best player. If he simply rests on his laurels as a high-powered offensive weapon then the team's faith in him as a leader and a cornerstone will have been misplaced. However, if he can continue to develop his game in the mold of a Paul Pierce or a Vince Carter, rounding out his offensive repertoire with a killer passing game and above-average rebounds for his position, then maybe he could just become the kind of player that single-handedly lifts his team's fortunes out of the gutter.

Not only would Kevin never start at SF, but Salmons is the likely starter--not Cisco. It's not all that surprising though. That article reeks of not knowing what the hell he's talking about--particularly since Salmons isn't mentioned once throughout the whole thing.

This was almost exactly I was about to post...lol This article is not really adequate for avid Kings fans like us...It is just a waste of time reading it...

Well, to be honest, I actually waited for like a month or so for this article to be released. (TSN is doing the usual "30 teams in 30 days" format) And I feel like ripped off... :x

:P

Kevin Martin in the model of a Paul Pierce or Vince Carter... XD Thats like saying Spencer Hawes is in the model of Shaq. Kevin's a Reggie Miller scorer, not a VC.

Player evauluations aside I think it was pretty much spot on.
