Sacramento Kings
The 2006 offseason was started with the announcement that head coach Rick Adelman’s contract would not be renewed. The Kings named Eric Musselman as Adelman’s replacement as head coach.
In 2006-2007, the disappointing play of the Kings had been coupled with the distraction of legal troubles. Coach Eric Musselman pleaded no contest to DUI charges early in the season, while star Ron Artest got in to trouble for neglect of his dogs, and was later arrested for domestic assault. The Kings dismissed Artest of basketball duties, pending more investigation in to the matter, and was later reinstated. The Kings finished the 2006-07 NBA season with an overall record of 33-49 in which they were 20-21 at ARCO Arena and 13-28 on the road; fifth place in the Pacific Division. This season record included a seven game losing-streak that started on January 4 and ended on January 19. Consequently, the Sacramento Kings went on to miss the 2007 NBA Playoffs, the first time in eight seasons. Coach Eric Musselman was fired on April 20, 2007. The Kings’ future appears to rest on the shoulders of breakout star Kevin Martin, who was a leading candidate for 2007 NBA Most-Improved Player of the Year.
The 2007 off-season may be a time of change for the Kings. Kings coach Eric Musselman was fired on April 20, and free agents Mike Bibby and Corliss Williamson may not be re-signed by the team. However, on March 14 Bibby confirmed that he is unlikely to opt out and become a free agent on July 1, (doing so would likely result in a huge pay cut) so the Kings remain well over the NBA salary cap. With the Kings getting the 10th overall pick in the 2007 NBA Draft, they may be able to draft a player that can rebuild the team.
