    The Kings overall are pretty young. Which team do you think will be better in a couple of years.

    I think its pretty close.

    Of all their key players:
    Divac is declining
    Webber, Peja, and Christie have peaked
    Only Bibby, Hedo, and Jackson will improve.

    The Rockets, on the other hand:
    Have two stars, Yao and Francis, still maturing
    Mobley is transforming with the new offense
    Cato seems to be late-blooming
    Not to mention Giffin, Thomas, Morris, Nachbar are all young and have upside
    The only declining or peaked players are Rice, Moochie, and Taylor. But these are contributing very much anyway.

    So, I say we are definitely going to be better than the Kings in a couple of years.

    Thanks for the kind words about the Rockets.

    I think the Kings are the team to win it all this year. I've been a fan of Webber's since the fab 5 days. Doug Christie is one of the best defenders around,

    and Bobby Jackson, WOW! That dude is great. I hate to say it, but he may put Bibby on the bench

    and I am a huge Mike Bibby fan. I was a big fan of his dad Henry Bibby when he played for UCLA. Mike has a game just like his. I hope they can reconcile off court, if they have not already done so.

    If the Sacramento Kings are that good with only 8 to 10 players, just think what they will be like when they get their whole team back. I lost respect for Shaq when he called them the queens.

    Please, knock the Lakers off this year.

    In a few years, are we going to hear that the Rockets' tanked in 2001 to get Yao like the Spurs tanked to get Duncan?

    Peja is only 23, one year older then Yao. He has alot of game left.
    Webber is only 30 years old. No doubt, hes got another 5 years left in his prime.
    Divac is 35, hes declining but Clark or Pollard will step up.
    Christie is declining but Hedo can definitely play the two guard.
    No doubt, the Kings for a long time are gonna be a force.

    Divac is the only one that is not improving. I think the Kings are gonna be a force for a while.
