  • I left Indiana. Because it was horrible.

Tough break for the Kings.  A bad year is just going to get worse, and potential push the team a little closer to relocation.  Aside from that Garcia was a nice glue guy, similar to Ryan Gomes in his role as a steady young presence on a bad team (although their skill sets are different).  Hopefully the injury to his shooting hand is something that he can rehab without incident.

DKC Bucks. Also terrible.

As a fantasy owner of Garcia, my first thought when I heard the news was, "How the hell do you break your forearm lifting weights?"

Now I know. And knowing is half the battle. Stay away from exercise balls, kids. They are dangerous.

But our deal of Garcia for Afflalo/Varejao in 2009 CBlog draft is loooking better and better though, huh Lucky?


Tough setback for a kid who's been through a lot (his baby sister got killed while he was at U of Louisville, iirc). Hope he comes back strong.

Does that make the Kings more or less likely to deal Nocioni?

i'm of the mind that they would've jumped at the chance to dump noce before, and they would jump at the chance to trade him now. they'd trade him to the Cs for expiring contracts every day of the week and twice on sunday.

his contract is from a lost era of overpriced and far too long MLE deals that just doesn't exist anymore (or at least for the time being with the economy poor and the cap ****ed). the only reason they traded for him in the first place was out of short term desparation to dump salary -- brad miller's final year -- because the maloofs are losing money hand over fist.

money first, basketball second for the kings right now. they'll probably play evans at the 2 and martin at the 3 anyway.

for the record, i was in favor of it last year (jeff actually posted a trade idea of mine about him on the front page), but i'm against it now. he's just not worth his deal in $$ or years. let's see if marquis can hold down the fort at the 3 for now.

Yeah that stinks for Garcia. Seems like he had all his ducks in a row too.
