^ I'd like to see the Kings trade Demarcus Cousins to the Milwaukee Bucks for Kwame Brown....

Dusty, I hate to say it BUT it would not surprise me.

The Maloof family is holding on for dear life. They are broke, by NBA owners standards. When they had the money, there were some of the best owners in the NBA. They handsomely paid one of the best coaches in the NBA, they made agressive moves, they paid players to keep them in Sacramento, Arco arena was considered the most rockin' arena in the NBA (affectionately called the cowbell kingdom then) and they pulled no punches and held back no expense in making the Kings a title contender, year in and year out.

However, they invested in casinos and real estate right before the market collapsed and lost a back-breaking amount of money. Now they want to hold on, but everyone, including them, knows that the dream is over. They have tied Geoff Petrie's hands for years. They will not allow him to sign any player to a deal worth more than $9 million per season, they will not amnesty any players to make salary cap room, and they will not take on any expiring contracts to get good veterans to come in. They have consistently had the lowest paid coaches in the NBA because there is not minimum NBA coach salary, and if there was, they would rake the bottom. For YEARS they have been SIGNIFICANTLY below the cap. They were the ONLY NBA team, with cap room, not to make an offer for Lebron or any major free agent. The most notable free agent signing the Kings have had since Ron Artest is Chuck Hayes And that has worked out TERRIBLY!

So, even though your post was an obvious joke, sadly, it isn't.
