    SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP)—The Sacramento Kings have hired former Golden State Warriors head coach Keith Smart and ex-player Bobby Jackson(notes) as assistants under Paul Westphal. Smart was dismissed after going 36-46 in his lone season running the Warriors despite making a 10-game improvement from the previous season. He took over last minute in September 2010 for the NBA’s career wins leader, Don Nelson. Jackson, who played 12 NBA seasons, becomes an assistant after two years as the Kings’ basketball operations special assistant working in scouting, player evaluations and NBA Draft preparation.

    Owners trying to do business as usual. I wouldn't be shocked that if/when the players decertify the owners go with replacement players.

    Scabs?

    Do you really think that will happen Duke? I admit I don't know crap about the NBA outside of the few big names.

    Will fans actually pay to watch scabs play?

    Depends who the scabs are. There's plenty of dudes I feel could put on quite a decent show in the NBA. If the players are absolutely against playing, you gotta make money.
