Mark Kreidler: Trade puts the fun back in Sacramento

Quote:

Just better, is all. Deadlier. Tougher to match up against. More difficult to cover. Younger. More complicated. More flexible. Maybe even more fun to watch.

Best-case scenario? Relevant again, as a conference contender.

But at the very least: better.

Mobley is a lot of offense, that is to say - a lot of fast-paced, yank-up-the-three-pointer-when-you-see-it offense. Put him at the two-guard spot where Christie has lived these past 4 1/2 seasons, and you will never again see an opposing defender happily backing off the position to go double-cover somebody else, be it Peja Stojakovic, Chris Webber or whomever.

Mobley is another guy you have to guard, another scoring presence you absolutely must be aware of. There is Mike Bibby, and there is Stojakovic, and there is Mobley, and that's just the perimeter of the starting lineup.

Good points.

There's no quarrel with what Petrie has done in deals

Of all the Kings' core players, the two least likely to be traded, given their impact, are Miller and Bibby.

Kings add some octane
