NBA Summer Forecast

ESPN asked 25 writers, editors and contributors for their take on the upcoming NBA season. They ranked the Sacramento Kings as 12th in the 15 team Western Conference, ahead of only Minnesota, Memphis and Oklahoma City. Additionally, they believe that the Kings will only win 34 games this coming season, down from 38 last year.

ESPN - Summer Forecast: Which way is the West going? - NBA:

Ron Artest is gone, and this is Kevin Martin's team now. His uncanny talent for high-efficiency scoring will be enough on some nights, but to really make noise the Kings need extraordinary contributions from ordinary players like Udrih, Salmons, Garcia, Moore and Miller. Good luck.
