The Kings are only 22-29 this season but they still are only 2.5 games behind the Timberwolves for the #8 spot in the Western Conference.  So the Kings have a very interesting decision to make before tomorrow’s NBA trade deadline….do they keep the current bunch of players and try to make a run or do they start over and dump some older players tomorrow?  It will be interesting to see which way the Kings go, but it seems as if they are leaning towards starting over as Mike Bibby and Ron Artest’s names have been coming up a lot in trade rumors.  The one bright spot for the Kings this season has been the rapid improvement of Kevin Martin who looks like a big building block for the future.

The Kings played no defense as they allowed the Hornets to hit 57.7% of their shots from the floor.  They also were outrebounded by the Hornets 45-33 and last night.  Ron Artest led the way for the Kings with 18 points and 5 rebounds.  Corliss Williamson (16 points) and Kevin Martin (15 points) each had decent games last night.
