HoopsHype.com Sacramento Kings Twitters

Oh great, Bill Simmons projects a Sacramento win.

Jalen Rose: "Why is Kevin Johnson not at the draft [lottery] representing the Kings?"

If the Kings aren't in the top 3, will fans blame Keith Smart? If they get the #1 does Smart keep his job?

Anthony Bennett in an arm sling probably epitomizes the strength of this draft.

#DraftLottery

I'm predicting the #SacKings get the No. 3 pick...b/c Keith Smart (lotto rep) got a three-year deal to coach the team in 2011. What say you?

What's your guess Kings fans? Where dot he Kings draft?

Question for #SacKings fans: How important (or not important) do you think it is for the Kings to get the No. 1 pick?

David Stern looks like a weight has been lifted off his shoulders. The Last couple of times I've seen him, he looked worn out. Good to see.

#ICYMI: Seven facts about the #SacKings and NBA Draft Lottery shar.es/ZZNi9

No Sac/Seattle reporters around to bug y'all MT @Brian Mahoney: Not many ?s for Stern and Silver. Chalk it up to Kings saga being settled.

Possible #SacKings candidate too MT @Ramona Shelburne: Mike Malone, who has good relationship with CP3 from NOLA, will also surely be in mix

Looks like Adam Silver wore a purple tie during the NBA Draft Lottery presser. Does that really matter anymore? #itneverdidinthefirstplace

Here's more "translated lottery odds" from @HickoryHigh. Good stuff. hickory-high.com/?p=7830

Via @HickoryHigh: The #SacKings have a 6.3% chance of winning the #1 pick – about the same odds as DMC missing 3 consecutive layups.

The Charlotte Bobcats are no more, they will officially become the Charlotte Hornets again. All is right again.

No, My bad, Keith Smart wasn't fired - I didn't craft that tweet right. I meant to use the hashtag for the Kings in the event he's let go

Charlotte Bobcats also in need of NBA head coach

Hearing things should be official on sale by June 4. Not a lot of time to make changes before offseason, but expect changes.

For those still asking, don't expect anything official re: Kings coach, GM, etc., until @Vivek Ranadive sale officially closes.

This means the official transfer of ownership of the Kings from the Maloofs to Ranadive led group will be final by end of Month. #NBA

NBA told me they expect to hear recommendation from Advisory Finance Committee this week, & full BOG vote on sale of Kings by end of May.

SVG basically said it's unlikely he'll coach this year, but added to @David Baumann that nothing is "permanent".

For those who believe the #NBA draft lottery is rigged, the top picks will be: 1 Heat, 2 Spurs, 3 Lakers 4 Yankees.

SVG says to @David Baumann family 1st b4 taking coaching job "There are five other people in my family and you have to take into account"

The conspiracy theorists will be out in full force tonight to tell you the NBA lottery is rigged. probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/05/21/why…

...last I checked he is still the Head Coach. Hard for some fans to stop reading things into every move & decision. #BabySteps

Getting lots of questions about why Keith Smart is representing #NBAKings at the #NBA draft lottery today. Decision was made weeks ago &...

And hey, if we run out of time on the air, I'll shoot you an answer back here. Or not.

Good morning world.

Correction: the #SacKings will have appeared in the lottery 18 times, not 17. Still ranked third in the NBA lotto era.

Usually a fractured throwing hand means out for at least six-weeks. Vogelsong was having his best outing of the season. #SFGiants

The #SFGiants announce Ryan Vogelsong has a fractured right hand. He took a pitch off the hand while batting tonight.

It's been out a while, but this seems like a good time to revisit the best #NBA commercial ever. #NBAKings youtube.com/watch?v=Ofvpro…

Another fun fact: 2013 will be the first time in 21 years that both the Clippers and Warriors don't have lottery selections.

Fun Fact: Only the Clippers (22) & Warriors (20) have made more picks in the lottery era than the #SacKings (17).

This is a new ad hanging at the Charlotte Motor Speedway. Marketing genius, I say. What say you? #NASCAR http://t.co/nsfAb3rKll

The town of Moore, OK, has absolutely been a tornado-alley punching bag over the years. So many good people there, devastated again. SOS.

Chris Hansen congratulates @Kevin Johnson & Sacramento fans. sonicsarena.com/news/where-we-…

Hansen: "This was never about Seattle fans versus Sacramento fans, and it goes unsaid that there is a mutual respect..."

Chris Hansen congratulates "Mayor Johnson and the fans in Sacramento for the tremendous effort they put together to keep their team."

Sad news about all the tornados in OK. Hope everyone is okay. #PrayForOklahoma

Re: $ - Different gm, but Billy Beane is handcuffed financially with A's & used innovative ways to find talent (that he stores in West Sac).

I've heard from #SacKings fans who say give him a new chance now that he has money to work with. More fans than I expect.

Another question for you: would you like to see Geoff Petrie stay or go? @James Ham wrote yesterday that it's time to move on.

I'm glad most of you said you wouldn't quit being #SacKings fans if changes came slow. I mean, you guys just kept the team.

Just finished a production meeting for our News10 coverage of the "Long Live The Kings" Rally on Thursday. Be sure & set those DVR's

Those who said you would be highly upset, would you be upset enough to give up being a #SacKings fan? (I'd find that ridiculous if so...)

Curious though, how many of you would be mad at #SacKings if changes to basketball ops came slowly?

CC #SacKings fans MT @PhilKingsTix: Guys! KINGS ARE STAYING! Think longer-term: New arena. Team improvement is a process. Be here to see it.

T-Rob dealt day he had Bella Bru appearance MT @trevcosi23: Yep. Jon Brockman appeared at some offseason event then was released or traded

All up and down Long Island, NY @ZingVodka is doing incredibly well in all the bars.

I'm on the air from 12-3 p.m. on @CBSSports1140 talking #SFGiants struggles, #NBAKings & Phil Jackson . LISTEN: bit.ly/PyHb2X

We have now introduced @ZingVodka in Boston. We've had some great introductory parties, it's flying off the shelves.

I'm being told that the decision had to made on who would represent the Kings at Lottery by Maloofs a few weeks ago. Smart was the choice.

I told you all it would be Keith Smart at the draft ... doesn't guarantee anything long term.

As @Ryan_Lillis pointed out, it was a Maloof decision to send Smart. He'll be evaluated just like everyone else in charge by new owners.

Even though Keith Smart is repping the #SacKings at lottery, I wouldn't jump to any conclusions about his job status under new ownership.

They also arranged for sister Adrienne last year. MT @Ryan_Lillis: Maloofs had made arrangement for Smart to rep team at draft lottery.
