Absolutely no sarcasm. Pistol Jason was the sparkplug of the Sacramento offense- a team that relies on the fastbreak to score and conceal their poor-to-terrible defense was fortunate to have him. He is fast as lightning, and one of the best passers on the fastbreak in the league. Bibby is a far cry from Jason Williams- he is slower afoot and more cautious in his play-making. He is disliked by his teammates, he has no leadership skills, and he is extremely stat-conscious (possible explanation for his great stats but his pathetic win-loss record?). He's like a somewhat more talented Eisley- quite competent, but far from being a leader or being able to control the pace of a game like Jason Williams or Steve Nash. He already looks disappointing in the preseason, and he's going to single-handedly kill the vaunted Kings fastbreak that they LIVED on last season. He is NOT going to be an upgrade for a team like Sacramento. And Memphis seems ecstatic about having Pistol Jason around instead of Bibby.

Also, was it coincidence that Chris Webber's (and Sacramento's) career year was also Webber's contract year? I'd say there's a direct correlation. But Webber's contract year has come and gone now, and with it have gone Sacramento's glory days. Sactown did NOT improve this offseason, and they are NOT as good as the Mavericks anymore in any way, shape, or form...
