Kings and free agency - part 2
- Thread starter VF21
- Start date
Question for you sir.
What would be a better move.... to replace Collison with Lawson or to replace McCallum/Miller with a more capable backup?
In my opinion, the improvement from Collison to Lawson isn't all that wide. Right now if we're going with McCallum as our backup, we're running out one of the worst backup PG's in the game. Personally I'd rather improve that position with someone who is better ten fold than improve the starting PG position by a few percentage points.

Let's just say I'm not very optimistic about his recovery...
If it weren't for the Achilles, I'd be down. He WAS a great two way player... now? Jury is out. Signing him will be a pretty big gamble.
Course, maybe he'll be fine and we'll make the playoffs. I just think there is a bigger chance this blows up in our faces.

Chris Broussard mentioning on twitter than Kings are a possible player for Kostas Koufos. Take it with a grain of salt but for the right price, would really like Koufos but it would cost. If Aron Baynes gets 3/20 then......
I'll go on record as saying that Baynes at 3/20 is the worst contract these past 2 days.....makes no sense from a "what have you done to earn 7 mill a year" perspective.

You tell me.
The title of this thread is "Kings and Free Agency, After the Trade". And your message was "this franchise is a joke. Fire the coach."

I have a sick feeling that it's going to happen but I wish we wouldn't blow our load with Matthews. I'd rather shore up the bench and go after Lin, Williams, Beverly, Koufos or Brewer. If we could pick up 3 of those guys I'd be very happy. We may end up being forced to go that route because I don't see any reason Matthews would want to play here, with taxes he'd make more money in Dallas anyway.

Phoenix has traded Marcus Morris, Reggie Bullock and Danny Granger to Detroit for future picks, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.

The Pistons will send the Suns a 2020 second-round draft pick. So yes, the Suns are clearing salary cap space.

That is one that stings a little. From what we've heard it looks like both the Kings and the Suns kind of messed up on that one. We were debating here about whether Thomas deserved $10 million or not. When free agency started he was getting no offers, there were rumors out there that the Kings could have probably kept him for as low as $2 million a year. Now I'm sure that's a bit of an exaggeration, but even at $4 million, that's a huge bargain then and a massive bargain now. However the front office didn't want him. Honestly I didn't either, at $10 million, at $4 million I could have been convinced.
