Kings trade JT, Nik and Landry to Sixers (renamed)
- Thread starter VF21
- Start date
The lakers are no longer a viable landing spot for rondo given they drafted Russell and have clarkson. Miami is even more in rebuild mode than the kings.
I think the kings may land rondo with a 2 year /$20 million contract with a 2nd year player option.
The kings would need to sign a 3 point specialist with the veteran exception to spread the floor.

Kings intent on re-signing Omri Casspi, who desperately wants to return and play for George Karl. OC is also a Fegan client (DMC) so beware.

This. If I was someone like LaMarcus Aldridge, I'd sign with Toronto or Atlanta if not the Spurs. Waltz right into the ECF guaranteed. Not sure why the competitive imbalance isn't more of a factor for some of these guys (or maybe it is, and that's why, say, Monta is reportedly more interested in Eastern Conference teams).
I'm actually hoping Aldridge signs with the Spurs.. they'll always be good no matter what. If he doesn't sign with the Spurs, he's most likely going to Dallas.. or returning to Portland. Those are the 2 teams we don't want getting better..
Portland losing Aldridge, and Dallas not getting good players through FA are our only hopes of playoffs for next season.

You're not factoring in any cap holds here.
It was originally rumored that the salary cap would be $67,100,000. If that is the case, we would have $7,997,083 in cap space (I use basketball insiders for the contracts and cap holds). If the salary cap increases by another $2,000,000, then we have $9,997,083 in cap space to start.
If we make a trade like Landry and removing the 2016 1st Round Pick Protection for a future protected 2nd rounder (basically removing the protection of our pick for instant cap relief), we would have $13,971,990 in cap space ($15,971,990 if they increase the cap by $2,000,000).
If we were then to waive all of our unguaranteed contracts (McCallum, Moreland, & Stockton), we would have $15,034,105 in cap space ($17,034,105 if they increase the cap by $2,000,000).
If we're trying to sign Green, there will likely not be any room for Rondo unless we make another trade for cap relief (likely Thompson).

Rather than explain it, I will point you to this. http://www.cbafaq.com/salarycap.htm#Q45
The Gilbert Arenas provision does not apply to Green, because (for one) he has been in the league too long.

I think 2 years /$20 million is too much especially if second year is a player option. He did have a down year so it shouldn't cost us so much. I was thinking closer to $7 mil with player option and give him another mil or two only if he agrees to a team option. He needs to rebuild his image so he needs a team willing to let him as much as we need a pg

Definitely liking this. Plus he can shoot the three.....
C- Cousins
PF- WCS
SF- Gay
SG- Green
PG- Rondo
Tell me that isn't a good starting lineup and I will say you're high.. And the Rondo haters saying he's done, what do you base that on? A half year with Dallas? Come on..... That's a PG wasteland.
