As yet another summer of arena drama for the Sacramento Kings comes to a close and the team prepares to hit the court this Fall, I'll be hosting a live chat Thursday with one of this city's experts in all things basketball: James Ham (@James_Ham) of the Cowbell Kingdom blog.

The chat will be streamed live on SacramentoPress.com on Thursday at 12:15 p.m. You can participate by posting questions in the conversation below this article. We'll also be joined by our King's blogger, Mark Needham. The chat will be emebed here:

The documentary Ham and Blake Ellington produced in 2010 about the arena saga, "Small Market, Big Heart," will be screened  the next day, Friday at 6:30 p.m. at the Crest Theatre as part of the Sacramento Film and Music Festival. It is also available on YouTube.

During the chat, I'll ask Ham about how he thinks the Kings will do this season, what he's keeping an eye on and how he views the film in light of the collapse of the arena deal earlier this summer.

Ham blogs about the Kings for his own site and ESPN. Most recently, he covered the team's summer league in Las Vegas.
