2019 Free Agency tracking thread

He pointed out reality and historical reference, I question the people that immediately jump up in defense when any debate is posed. You can believe in them as a franchise and still prepare for the ability to add another all star talent, big money talent, or future picks to it when the chance arises. It's part of the same issues people had in the draft. It's about maximizing assets. Things are way better off than before because it appears that under Vlade, the Kings finally know how to put a puzzle together, so that's a big step up.
Hold on. Questioning if he believes in the core isn’t really trashing him at all. I wasn’t trying to set him up for anything and I think it’s actually a legitimate question for anybody talking about our prospects for next season or two years from now. Im noticing that the projections for their development don’t match the enthusiasm around guys like Fox, Bagley, Buddy, etc. even though we should probably expect a significant leap from all of those guys next season.
However, In the response I was posing for NME before I read your post I was going to say I may have mentally merged his post with a lot of other posts I’ve read, mostly on other forums that seem to ignore the significant leap our youth had made in little time and just assume that whatever leap that will be made next year will be too small to compete out west. I disagree with that stance and I’m free to express it and add how I think our acquisitions(in addition to the growing core and a fill season of having Barnes) can be the difference between a 39 win team and a 49 or even 50 win team...but perhaps NME wasn’t making that debate
I was going to apologize for the snark though.
We’re counting on it. We agree. Sorry for the snark

What the hell are we going to do with Dragic? He's always injured and not very good anymore.
The Mavs screwed by signing Zaps to an extension before they really even had to (he hasn't even suited up for them!) and making it so they didn't have the raw cap space left to stomach bringing Goran to team up with Luka and miring the Sixers/Heat/Mavs in varying states of awkward transaction hell.

Knicks sign Bobby Portis for 2/31 and all their biggest pick ups to this point play the same position.
It’s like they were thinking of the mid 90s Washington Bullets with Webber/Sheed/Howard and thought “we could do that...but worse”
New Orleans got Favors
Hezonja signs another prove it deal this time with Portland.
