Wells' agent, Kings talking
The guard has been taking yoga and Pilates to improve his flexibility.

William Phillips, the agent for free-agent shooting guard Bonzi Wells, said the stance of he and his client has been made clear throughout a number of discussions with the Kings during the past couple of weeks.

"The Kings know where we're at," Phillips said Thursday. "We've been talking. We talked (Wednesday) and we talked (Thursday), and we've talked about all three options. Bonzi signing (with Sacramento), a sign-and-trade or Bonzi going to sign somewhere else. There is not a failure to communicate between the parties."

William Phillips, the agent for free-agent shooting guard Bonzi Wells, said the stance of he and his client has been made clear throughout a number of discussions with the Kings during the past couple of weeks.

Bonzi signing (with Sacramento), a sign-and-trade or Bonzi going to sign somewhere else. There is not a failure to communicate between the parties."

In fact, Kings president of basketball operations Geoff Petrie and Phillips nearly have established a mutual admiration society while addressing the professionalism each has shown during the negotiations. Of course, with no deal yet, both sides conceivably could hate the ground on which each other walks and have the same result at this juncture.

The Kings have been talking with Phillips since July 1, and the agent said: "Several offers and counterproposals have been exchanged."

Phillips wouldn't discuss numbers involved in those offers and counterproposals.

"We've continued to talk and we'll continue to talk," he said. "I wouldn't say we're at an impasse."

Meanwhile, Phillips says Wells has been busy preparing for next season -- wherever it may be. "Bonzi's been taking yoga to increase his flexibility and doing Pilates to strengthen his core," Phillips said of his client, who missed 30 games last season with groin injuries. "Those injuries he had last year, to be honest, made him want to improve his flexibility."

It's about time we hear something. I hope something gets done soon, I'm so sick of waiting...

....all Kings fans (this board included) have been on hold since July 1, and we are gonna stay that way until this Bonzi situation gets sorted out.

**Peja Vu** · 07-22-2006, 01:18 AM

Napear says he is 98% sure the Kings' are going another way and Bonzi will not be back...

Say it ain't so. He and Ron-Ron kill.

Any chance of a resign'n trade with Nuggets, sending him, Potapenko and Kenny Thomas for KMart and Ruben Patterson?

I'm not holding my breath for a sign-and-trade. That's what I would like to happen, but the Kings are like $2 million from the luxery tax theashold (I think), so we could only take that much back in salary, since the Maloofs won't pay the tax. Because of that, a trade exception would most likely need to be included, so it's difficult.

Bonzi and his agent messed up bad, not taking the Kings offer, only to find that it was the only offer over the MLE that he was going to get, so now the agent is pushing for a sign-and-trade hard to get money something like what the Kings were offering and save his own skin, but I doubt it happens, unfortunately.
