February 24, 2009 by Jason Thompson ·
Big trade deadline last week. We made a lot of moves and had a lot of vets go. Brad Miller and John Salmons were traded to the Bulls.

All Access Practice Scoop
December 11, 2008 by Andrew Nicholson ·
After the Kings finished practice on Wednesday, a day after pundits called the Kings 12-point win over the Lakers, “the biggest upset of the season in the NBA,” the team was in an understandably upbeat mood. As is custom from what I’ve seen across the entire League, the Kings held their post-practice half-court shooting contest. While most of the team competes in the light-hearted heave, John Salmons, Beno Udrih and Francisco Garcia seem to regularly finish among the top three. So it was only fitting a day after ‘Cisco tied Salmons with a team-high 21 points, it would be his shot that tickled the twine first. The amusing part, however, was ‘Cisco exclaiming, “I’m still hot!” afterward. Moments later, his teammate’s shot fell awry and as he fell to the floor playfully, assistant coaches, media members and surrounding teammates shared the entertainment that wasn’t nearly as common as it had been during training camp and the early weeks of the season. Check out the 12/10/08 practice video interviews in the Multimedia Center on the Kings.com home page to see what Coach Reggie Theus and veteran Bobby Jackson believe the team needs to do to build on its big win. Jackson also discusses the joy he has in interacting with his younger teammates and the strength of the team’s camaraderie.
Also, check out the Multimedia Center on the Kings.com home page tonight to see what Theus had to say about the team’s Sunday meeting, which led to the Kings energetic and focused effort against the rivals, and his thoughts regarding Lakers coach Phil Jackson commenting on the energy the Kings play with.
