OntheAir By Antonio Gonzalez The Associated Press SACRAMENTO Pete D'Alessandro pondered how he felt about the ros- ter he assembled for the Sacramento Kings training camp by doing an exercise in his office this week. On one side of his white- board, the Kings gen- eral manager wrote out the depth chart he had at this time last year. On the other, he listed the current roster. There was little resem- blance. Just five players — De- Marcus Cousins, Jason Thompson, Carl Landry, Ben McLemore and Ray McCallum — were with Sacramento before train- ing camp last year. And only two — Cousins and Thompson — were on the roster when D'Alessandro was hired by Kings owner Vivek Ranadive some 15 months ago. "I just stood in my office and looked at it for a while and I was like, 'I feel good about our depth chart now compared to what it was. I really do,'" D'Alessandro said Friday, a day before the Kings begin train- ing camp. "I said, 'That's a transformation. That's a different team there.' I don't know what next year's depth chart is going to look like, but if I feel the same way as I do about this year, I know we're taking the right steps." Progress has been dif- ficult to measure for the Kings in recent years. Sacramento has stum- bled to eight straight losing seasons, including going 28-54 the past two years, and a quick fix has never been part of the plans. Ranadive, D'Alessandro and coach Michael Malone have preached patience from the start. But they also know that the team's loyal fans — most of whom began last season just happy the Kings remained in Sacramento after years of relocation chatter finally ended with the ownership change — will not be so pa- tient if they don't start see- ing improvement soon. Ranadive has refused to put a number on the wins he wants to see this season. But unlike last year, he said he will judge success more on the team's record. D'Alessandro agreed. "We're not patient any- more. We want to win more," he said. After making more moves than any team in the league last season, D'Alessandro promised to be more "surgical" in his approach to change. The Kings are counting on continuity for growth, and D'Alessandro wants to see how the team comes to- gether over a longer period. Any success will start with Cousins and Rudy Gay. Both finally got a taste of winning this sum- mer, helping the U.S. claim gold at the FIBA World Cup in Spain. They came back confi- dent and conditioned, and each expects the success they had overseas to carry over to the Kings. "I haven't really had that feeling playing in that type of game maybe since col- lege when I was playing the NCAA tournament," said Cousins, who is enter- ing his fifth season in Sac- ramento. "Being in that type of game, it felt good to win." Sacramento's lead- ing men both praised D'Alessandro's work to improve the roster, which Gay cited as the reason he picked up his $19.3 mil- lion option to return. They agreed there is enough talent to compete in the deep Western Conference, though whether that tal- ent can come together is the key question. The Kings signed Dar- ren Collison and Ramon Sessions to be superior defenders and distribute the ball more than the departed Isaiah Thomas ever did. The hope is that McLemore will make big strides in his second sea- son, rookie sharpshooter Nik Stauskas' game will translate to the NBA and the additions of Ryan Hol- lins, Omri Casspi and rookie Eric Moreland will fill in the holes to help the Kings run faster and de- fend better. But optimism is always booming during NBA me- dia days, and the chal- lenge for the Kings will be to show they can play to- gether — and stay together — when the games begin to matter. "Right now everybody's saying the right thing," Malone said. "But let's see after a month or two when we're in it." NBA Kings optimistic changes will translate into wins Sacramento GM has been busy reshaping roster Angie Weir Miller Funda- mental Basketball Camp. Miller works for Corn- ing Elementary Schools as a physical education teacher. The Hall of Fame mem- bers joining Miller include Doug Dreier, Bev Howard, Gale Gilbert and Kelly Jackson. Previous inductees to the Hall have been Kathy Long Brandt, Tammy Brown, Bob Grimm, Bill Ja- cobs, Mort Kaer, Doug Sale and Ed Stroman. The Booster Club has do- nated more than $23,000 to Spartans athletics this year. Tickets for the Oct. 11 dinner at the Red Bluff Community and Senior Center are $25. They are available through Spartan athletes, at ReMax Top Properties or by email- ing spartanboosters@sbc- global.net. The night begins with a social hour at 5:30 p.m. fol- lowed by a trip-tip dinner at 6:30 p.m. The event is being spon- sored by Cornerstone Com- munity Bank. Miller FROM PAGE 5 his 12th homer, and an in- ning later added a two-run single to make it 6-1. Adam Dunn, the big des- ignated hitter batting in the No. 2 spot for the first time since June 2008, had a two-run double in the third for Oakland (87-73). Texas had its five-game winning streak snapped. Only their second loss in 14 games assured the Rang- ers (66-94) will finish last in the AL West after Hous- ton (70-90) won at the New York Mets on Friday night. Nick Tepesch (5-11) al- lowed six runs and six hits, with four walks, in 4 1/3 in- nings. Kazmir (15-9) struck out five without a walk while limiting the Rangers to two runs (one earned) and four hits over seven in- nings. The lefty was 0-4 with an 8.58 ERA his previous six starts since his last win Aug. 19. The 15 wins are a career high, but only four of those have come since the All-Star break. The A's were a season- best 28 games over .500 and had a four-game lead in the AL West on Aug. 10. But they lost 29 of their next 43 games and entered the final weekend of the regular season still with- out a playoff spot secured. Texas led 1-0 right away, when Leonys Martin had a leadoff single, stole second and scored on Ryan Rua's double. But Kazmir then retired 10 in a row, and the Rangers didn't score again until an unearned run in the fifth. Martin's RBI grounder drove in Rougned Odor, who reached after first baseman Brandon Moss' error when he threw be- hind Kazmir, who was go- ing to cover first base.
