07:14 AM ET 01.08 | There might be a shortage of wins in Kings Land of late, but there is no shortage of trade chatter. So to follow up on some of the diligent work of ESPN.com's Marc Stein regarding the futures of Omri Casspi and Carl Landry, allow me to expound on their respective situations and that of Samuel Dalembert as well. One disclaimer regarding all: the signs remain strong that there is a directive from on high for Kings basketball president Geoff Petrie to avoid taking on any salary unless it's a can't-miss opportunity, which obviously limits the possibilities in play here.

If you play for the Kings, it's like being in the Federal Witness Protection Program.

I think the kings are like the clippers ..they have some talent which is better then what their record shows....with the right coach and leadership they would be ok

they need a veteran coach to smack some sense into cousins and the rest of em. they have talent obviously but need to learn play as a team.

QUOTE(#22):

They have a veteran coach and he cant do anything ....The issue, imo is they are too young and have roo many similar front court players. Thwy need to mix it up

i'd say one of the biggest issues is that the teams two best players and most frequent shooters are shooting 39 and 43% from the floor (evans/cousins)
