Not to mention Smart looks like Cousins' little brother which would strike fear in any player that was on the roster 2 years ago.

Didn't DMC throw Smart to the ground a few years ago in Boston?

I don't know if even Cousins "strike fear in any player", I mean, if anything, I'd almost look at it as an advantage for me to rile him up and see if he has repaired his relationship with the officiating staffs yet.

Probably. He always picks fights with little guys.

Yep, while he threw him down he spun him around like a top.

My brothers and I did that all the time

Getting a "good defensive wing" that's 31 years old smacks of desperation because it doesn't help in the long run. It's a bandaid fix IMHO - and that's not even addressing the elephant in the room. It was not a friendly parting between Mbah a Moute and the Kings and there's no guarantee he'd even entertain the idea of returning.

I agree that the entire team shouldn't be comprised entirely of kids, but I just have a fundamental (but respectful) disagreement with you on Luc.

It's also not addressing the problem that LRMAM got hurt again towards the end of the season and couldn't make a open lay up in the playoffs due to the injury in 9 playoffs games the guy was a absolute disaster. The guy is injury prone.

I find myself a fan of Marcus Smart. After watching a few of his games this last season I came away impressed each time, despite his shooting woes. He's still young and provides something we lack. Throw out an offer sheet to him and Capela and see what happens.

 

[Noble]

Ty Lawson anyone?

 

[Kingsfan23]

Capela/Nurkic, the hope is now, that even if we weren’t originally looking bigs, that one may come so cheap as to make it a value signing, with Houston/Portland not matching..

Yeah, probably won’t happen

 

[netseee]

Maybe Kings can sign Michael Beasley one-year deal for SF position

I think you've began your last 20 posts with "Capela/Nurkic".

MOD NOTE: A few posts have been deleted. The personal sniping against other members is not acceptable, nor is the insult ridden commentary. If you can't say something nice...

Saw an article where Beasley has two teams interested. Kings probably view him in the same light as Parker tho, a combo SF/PF who leans PF.

 

[OvechKiN]

No thanks to Marcus Smart. The guy wants to get paid big and he is not useful on the offensive end.

Absorb Melo or trade for long term fits like Otto Porter. Otherwise, start Bogdan there and just take the hit on the defensive end. I'd send a max RFA offer to Capela before I anything in the 7 figured to Smart.

Tony Parker signs in Charlotte...why?

 

[Reverend]

Tony Parker would have been the PERFECT vet to bring Fox along, we clearly need a back up point guard after watching Frank in summer league. Where was Vlade on this one?

 

[lwc]

It's kind of sad to see Tony Parker sign a two-year deal with anyone but the Spurs.

 

[macadocious]

By all accounts Tony Parker is a terrible teammate I would not want him anywhere near this young team.

His knee injuries were about 100x worse than Giles.

That refrain is getting really old. IT TAKES TWO to make a deal. People keep acting as though Vlade is just sitting home ignoring all these potential veterans when it's far more likely that a lot of players and their agents just aren't interested in coming to Sacramento. We have NEVER been a Mecca for free agents so why do people continue to think that's going to change when we're still a franchise that loses more than it wins?

 

[VF21]

Parker, a four-time NBA champion, 2007 Finals MVP and six-time All-Star, will join Charlotte head coach James Borrego, who was a former assistant with San Antonio. Parker also now reunites with French national teammate Nicolas Batum. The Spurs remained in discussions with Parker on a new deal, but he had significant interest from the Hornets and Denver Nuggets, league sources said. Parker is expected to assume a backup role to Hornets All-Star guard Kemba Walker.

No thanks on Tony Parker anyways. Too volatile and off the timeline. They can still do better.

 

[Nokidding]

Pacers got a really solid bench with signing O'Quinn/Evans/McBuckets/Sabonis/Corey Joesph they would probably outplay our starters tbh, on paper one of the better second units in the L.

 

[dude12]

Kings have inked Lavine to an offer sheet.....4/80 and Bulls have 48 hours

 

[Hallama]

Holy LaSheet

 

[206Fan]

YES!!!!

 

[dude12]

Lavine met with Sac and doctors signed off on his knee. Lavine reaches out to Sac. Let’s go.
