[Game] Game 77: Kings v. Timberwolves, 4/7/15 - 7pdt, 10edt
- Thread starter VF21
- Start date
We're still 6th but with a potential revenge game tomorrow against Utah(pretty rare to lose twice to the same team within a week), OKC looking shaky, Denver is in full tank mode, and 2 games against the Los Angeles D-Fenders to close the season, plenty of ways for us to end up as high as 7th or 8th.

I just can't see the logic, rationale, or bball IQ in not signing Casspi to a cheap contract, when he is clearly the best bench player this season, does most of the things teams want in a bench player, gets along fantastically with the stars of the team, and probably wants to be back here (since his career everywhere else he's gone has been unsuccessful).
Just because PDA has hampered this team with unmovable contracts doesn't mean you throw away fantastic value in Casspi just to get 1 or 2 million in extra flexibility.
Get. Er. Done.
Every team in the NBA would like to have a Casspi to kick the game up a notch. If there's no bidding war, make the signing.
Vivek may just have to eat some money to fix this mess they've caused.

Why would anybody assume that we can sign Casspi to a "cheap" contract? And what is meant by "cheap," in this context?
Let's face it, we used each other here: he needed us to give him a second chance, when it looked like he was on his way out of the NBA. But he proved that he can still play. He wanted to show that he can be a team player, that he can still be productive in the NBA when playing a role, and that he can accept coming off the bench. And he succeeded; he's earned a shot at another multi-year NBA contract. For how much, and for how many years, I decline to speculate. But my point is that he doesn't owe us anything else. We both got what we wanted: just like he needed a second chance, we needed a veteran backup swingman, on the cheap.
And now, he's shown that he can still be a productive backup swing, just in time for him to become an unrestricted free agent. I'd be fine with Casspi coming back, but it seems to me that some people are making it sound like, if he doesn't come back, it's going to be because of some failure on the front office's part. It's not as if we hold his rights, and he can only go if we let him; he can go, all on his own.

Just realized that the three top Kings leaders in points in this game are the Kings small forwards.
Gay with 33, Casspi with 31 and the D.Will with 18, that's really great.
I've been waiting for around 6 years for Casspi to break his career high in points which was set on January of 2010 against the Phoenix Suns, and finally he did, 31 points, to be quite frank, I never believed that Casspi will ever be able to score more than 30 points in a single game in his career, but I was wrong and I'm so glad I was wrong.
Casspi should be a keeper for the Kings, letting him go will be a really silly decision.

Last night D-Will jacked up a long two probably 14 seconds into the shot clock after dribbling around a bit. He made it, and he got the worst stare down from Karl I have ever seen. Karl leaned out of his chair and shot him daggers the entire way down the court. It was quite amusing from my vantage point.
