Sources close to talks say Omri Casspi finalizing two year, 6$ million contract to remain with Kings. Sac was always his first choice.

I'd like to see us get a guy who can lockdown guards.....either it's Ben stepping up or Rondo reverting back to form or James Anderson filling that role but I don't believe he's that good defensively or maybe it's a Liggins. Maybe it's us trading Ray and waiving Stockton and/or Anderson to create room for another signing.
For once, we can run multiple guys out there in Cuz, WCS, and Koufos who can guard the paint....WCS potentially a guy that we can send after some 3's as well. Feels like we could use one more guard/wing shut down guy possibly.

Here's our current roster:
Rondo/Collison/McCallum/Stockton
McLemore/Belinelli/Anderson
Gay/Casspi
Kofus/WCS
Cousins/Moreland
Even with adding Casspi, I still feel like we need another wing. Here are ones still in the market:
1. Luc Mbah
2. Dorell Wright
3. KJ McDaniels
Luc is a great defensive player and he'd be good in tight situations in end of games. Wright on the other hand is a good 3pt shooter and brings vet experience to this team. I remember he was a great 3pt shooter on the Warriors years ago. KJ is a RFA, so he's highly unlikely, but is a great young player with tremendous upside. He's already a good defender. I wonder if Mbah or Wright could be had for less than $2million? Vet min?
I also think we're lacking another big man..while I like Moreland, I just don't fell comfortable with him as our 4th big. I hope we can add another big to this team. Here are a few solid bigs:
1. Cole Aldrich
2. Jeff Withey
3. Henry Sims
4. Andrea Bargnani
Aldrich and Withey could provide a few pts a game. All top 3 players are young and still talented.
I think the first 3 could be had for cheap. I wonder if Bargs would be willing to take 2-4 million to play with the Kings. If he's healthy, he's a great option. He could also play alongside Cuz for stretches of the game. Great floor spacer too.
Let's see what happens!

Moute does interest me. In the little time he was with us the season before last, we witnessed a small sample of the lock down defense that he's known for. Against Chris Paul.
He doesn't need a lot of minutes. Just an absolute defensive specialist for spot situations. He's a really good team/culture guy as well. Hmm
Talk about "shrewd". While everyone's speculating about Josh Smith,...sneak Luc in the back door

Well you have to ask Vivek why he keep signing him back and forth from the team and our D-League. I don't see any chance that the signing was on talent alone so I have to say it's for marketing considering they root from the same country #noracist.
Sim will not be a Vlade move just to keep it clear.
But if Vlade is to play diplomacy sort of guy, he'll give each party a favor. Sim would be, IMO, a desert that he can serve Vivek.
DMC got his WCS, Rudy got his Rondo, Rondo got his Marco, Karl got his Kosta, so what's left is desert for either Vlade or Vivek.
And I'm just guessing not pushing before you raise your forks and torches. LOL

Well you called him a marketing "machine," which implies that he's got a lot of success. I know Vivek is trying hard to push him down the throats of Indians, but I thought it was just him not understanding basketball (again). Your post made it seem like you had info as to how good Sim was in the marketing dept.
