Koufos to the Kings!

Josh Smith, Casspi, Miller and a surprise lock down defender from the summer league. Done.

No need or room for smith. Just minor things now. Get a 4th big (acy or Reggie Evans or the Serbian dude we are looking at- I love Evans for this role- allowing Morelsnd to be 5th big), add a cheap 3&d bencher (no clue who is available, but someone like James Jones), sign caspi and bring ack dre miller. Done!!!

So you are going with Koufos starting?

I like the signing, and I do think that he is, generally, an upgrade over Thompson. I don't know if he's $2M a year worth of an upgrade, but I'll chalk that up to the "Sacramento" tax. Strong offseason by Divac!
I've long been a proponent of JT as a third big off the bench on a good Kings team but I think it's been time for him to move on for a while now. Too much dysfunction during his tenure without success or an opportunity to experience NBA life on any other team. I think Koufos will be a slight talent upgrade but likely a big on court attitude upgrade as a guy who willingly accepts his role as a rugged defender & rebounder.

Liggins could possibly be that SL player.

probably a smarter player as well. Im sorry but JT did a bonehead thing or two, nearly every game, (kinda like Garcia used to do) and it was
absolutely infuriating.

I think Acy or Evans will be back but I just think they'll want some shooting at PF, unless they plan on playing Gay and Casspi there at times during the season

Vlade putting in hard work!! Best off-season we have ever had since I've been a Kings fan. Truly stoked for this season. We are going to surprise people.

Yah this is some CRAZY crap this year... We have been linked to just about every free agent. Vlade is certainly putting his work in. We will have a good team heading into the new arena in 2016 from the looks of it.

Somewhere in the 5-7 mil range.

Rondo,collison,mccallum
McLemore,belinelli,Anderson
Gay
Koufos,WCS,Moreland
Cousins,WCS
Pretty much pay omri get a 4th big like an evans or acy and call it a day. Its our best team talent wise in a decade or so and is very balanced
