Omri Casspi

[VF21]

Any questions?

 

[Iced Espresso]

Nope.

 

[Andriod_KiNg]

Huge Huge Huge game from Omri locked down Anderson in the clutch too.

 

[Andriod_KiNg]

Also the Pelicans cut Casspi for us to sign him, talk about ouch.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

He's not just "exceeding expections", he's consistently doing things that nobody, probably other than himself, thought he was capable of. I can't say enough about his effort and play. He makes us a much better team

Hats off to Pete! Bringing Casspi back was a great move. I was happy to have him back, but I certainly didn't expect him to play this well.

[PurpleHaze]

Most improved player - 6th man of the year - seems not all that far fetched - although its early of course

 

[dude12]

What a FA signing! I wonder if the rest of the league notices he's got to be arguably the best under the radar signings in the off-season

 

[jcwkings]

He's figured out his role that will keep him in the league for a good amount of time.

@SactownRoyalty we escaped with the W, but make sure @Casspi18 is on the plane and not in @PelicanPierre's nest.

Why wasn't he signed to a multiple years contract?

 

[PurpleHaze]

Why wasn't he signed to a multiple years contract?

He will be now, assuming this continues - Omri absolutely loves living in Sac!

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Why wasn't he signed to a multiple years contract?

Nobody had any idea he would be locked in this kind of zone. This has been an unreal start from him.

He will be rewarded financially, next season

 

[Kingfanpaul]

Why wasn't he signed to a multiple years contract?

Easy to say that now that he's playing his ass off. Before this year, I'm not sure if he was worthy of a multi year deal.

One of those career revitalization plans, and opportunity here, bigger pay day maybe after the season. Low risk for us, considerable for him. But we quite honestly may have been the only team who would have wanted him where he'd know he had a shot.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Best bargain contract of the NBA offseason

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

He's also got some great leg speed that I was not aware of, before this season. I knew he was mobile, but he's a race horse in the open floor

Well part of it also seems to be that Omri actively wants to be in Sacramento, what with his plan to buy into the potential MLS franchise and general outspokenness on the Seattle situation and the like.

Seems like a fantastic fit for everyone.

This was his first home in the NBA too. Maybe we will sign him for a fair multi year deal here coming up.

That picture would have been a lot more intimidating prior to Pierre's reconstructive surgery.

 

[Spike]

Great job tonight, excellent job all season. Definitely exceeded my expectations thus far.

The importance of the proper role for role players. Casspi is a good slashing wing with good vision out of the high post. He is not a stretch four (Houston) or a 3 and D wing (Cleveland.) He plays very well making backdoor cuts feeding off the attention Cousins draws in the post.

This team really is one backup center away from making postseason noise.

Don't need a backup center in the playoffs. Boogie would be playing 40 mpg.

 

[HndsmCelt]

I love his play!

 

[gunks]

Dude is a beast.

Only question I have is: How much to lock this guy up?

 

[HereWeBoogie]

i do have one question, why does the guy on the Kings postgame show think his name is Omar?

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

This guy defines maturity and coming into your own. A huge shot in the arm for our push for an improved "culture". Omri is our culture leader

 

[Hallama]

Great slasher, hustle. Thought signing him was not a mistake, but a nothing move. Uh, wrong! Already a positive no matter how the season unfolds from here.

Would love to see his numbers when he's on the floor with Cousins. Chemistry is there, and the freedom to slash.
