Okay, the season is about to begin, but Kings fans don't have to worry about how things will play out. We here at Kings Talking Points already know...
So circle your calendars and watch for these noteworthy events:
7 DAYS until...
We hear that Donte Greene is a new man. In perfect shape. His shot looking fine. Ready to become a huge contributor.
10 DAYS until...
Tyreke Evans turns his ankle in practice. Officials announce he's day-to-day. The trainer talks about alternative therapies. Evans limps through the rest of the season.
24 DAYS until...
Donte Greene airballs three straight shots and disappears for a 10-minute stretch during a pivotal point in the game. Westphal sits Greene for the next five games.
33 DAYS until...
We realize that absolutely nobody on this team wants to pass the ball. Selfishness prevails. Assists are non-existent. And Geoff Petries realizes that, oops, they should've actually found a true point guard.
45 DAYS until...
DeMarcus Cousins enjoys his first full-blown meltdown of the season, glaring at his teammates and coach after getting tossed out of the game for whining at an official. In the locker room, Cousins acts contrite and proclaims he's matured.
60 DAYS until...
Sacramento's attempt at getting an arena officially fizzles and we realize that this is really the last season of pro basketball in Sacramento.
72 DAYS until...
The Kings fire Paul Westphal when they discover he's installed a worthless offense and a clueless defense.
87 DAYS until...
Jimmer Fredette takes control of the team and makes it his own, giving the Kings a leader for the first time in ages. Evans sulks and eventually....
96 DAYS until...
Evans is dealt in a blockbuster trade.
122 DAYS until...
The team, under a new coach and instilled with new confidence, begins to win games and open eyes around the league
146 DAYS until...
The season winds down in a mix of renewed enthusiasm and a hail of despair.
