FINANCES

Last Years Payroll: 63.1 million
Committed Payroll For '08-'09: 62.1 million


DRAFT STATUS

* Kings have the 12th, 42nd, and 45th picks in the upcoming draft

FREE AGENCY PRIORITIES

* Udrih's contract situation. He deserves a hefty pay raise, but it's possible his asking price could be mega outrageous.

* The only expiring contract we have is Ron Artest, so we don't have many trading chips, so if we're going to improve next season, it's going to be because of the development and growth of our young players (Martin, Garcia, Douby, Hawes, S. Williams)


TEAM STRENGTHS

* Finished the season winning 11 of their last 20 games
* Have two sharp young shooters in Kevin Martin and Francisco Garcia, both of whom established career highs in PPG


TEAM WEAKNESSES

* Inability to stay healthy (Martin, Reef, Kenny Thomas, Artest all missed significant time)

* Lousy front court play, it's obvious Mikki Moore wasn't worth that long-term deal, and Spencer Hawes is looking like a bust (avg. 4 and 3 in 71 gms)


CURRENT DEPTH CHART
