Good news, everyone: Sam Amick is apparently back from an assumed vacation.

We take the guy for granted, until we get a week of half-assed Marty McNeal coverage no real Kings news in the lead-up to the draft and the free agency period.

Amick writes about Kevin Martin's unwillingness to not play basketball everyday in the offseason and about Francisco Garcia's long hours in Natomas, working with de-facto assistant coach Jason Lamm.

(We really shouldn't be able to a) notice when a beat writer is on vacation, or b) get genuinely excited when he returns. Such is the state of Sacramento's traditional sports media scene.)
