    Very smart move, especially for a team that young.

    I'm glad Hayes has this much respect around the league.

    I miss Chuck. I'm still trying to get excited about our team not having him. He will do great in Sactown.

    Genius move by Daryl Morey. Let Chuck teach Marcus Cousins about maturity so he's no longer a malcontent for his stint with the Rockets.

    Chuck should be named a captain for all 30 teams.

    What are you talking about?

    Marcus Cousin - former UH Cougar, played with Utah last year, signed with the Rockets in the offseason

    DeMarcus Cousins - Drafted #5 last year by Sacramento, has never played for the Rockets.

    Chuck is a young man with an old man's hairline.

    Garcia and Salmons are older. But Chuck is much wiser and awesomer.

    I think that was the sole purpose of bringing in chuck....get them some leadership on the court...besides no one on the team should really feel snubbed by the move, except for maybe Garcia, but he's not the leader-type and his role has been diminishing lately, while his injuries have increased.

    Technically speaking those are even pay grades.

    Colonel is O6 in the Army
    Captain is O6 is the Navy

    Hayes, who had played his first six seasons in Houston, made a big impression with the Kings in less than two weeks.

    Players chose to keep Hayes' jersey in the locker room during Tuesday's preseason game against the Warriors.

    And players broke their huddles by saying "Chuck!" Westphal joked that won't happen anymore to avoid inflating Hayes' ego.

    Cousins said the Kings' "prayers were answered" when they found out Hayes was healthy.

    "Chuck was that veteran leader on this team," Cousins said. "Chuck was basically the voice on this team, the most experienced. That's who we all looked up to, and when Chuck left, that was a big piece of our team."
