[Jkbiker]

They do pick up Marvin and Fox of course, and yeah Caleb can just go

But they dont pick up Giles for 4 Mil , next year? Really?

 

[Larry89]

This season has been awful

 

[Sam0ah]

Oh my.........

 

[SLAB]

Done.

Peace.

Goodbye.

Swan I can understand, he's not NBA material, but HG??? This must be some sort of error...

Hopefully there's confirmation on this.

 

[ockingsfan]

WTF!

 

[Jkbiker]

So if Harry's knees go bad this season Kings save 4 mil

if he plays like a superstar, he will get big offer from someone else in FA

Good Job Vlade! - you cheap ba*****

James Ham: According to a league source, the Kings love Giles and will continue to support his development. This decision does not mean that he can’t be a part of the future. He is close to a return to the court.

Who wants to defend Vlade still?

 

[burekijogurt]

so basically they are making Giles FA? that tells me his knees be bad. or he is playing horribly in practice.

 

[ESP47]

Ridiculous. Over 4 mil? While they're paying Dedmon how much to play worse than rookie Giles?

 

[The Effort Police]

Should have declined Fox and Bagley's options too. Let them walk.

There's no point. Vlade and Vivek are such dunces that it doesn't matter what they do. This team will never be good.

Ever.
Period.

You drafted this dude, and they should've known full well he would be a lottery ticket, raw, and a project. He costs next to nothing, why wouldn't you give him until the end of his rookie contract to see if he's healthy and contribute. They basically gave up after his rookie season.

Chicken Little takes off his mask... and it was Vlade all along.

Restricted free agent. Could be a smart move to get him more money sooner and extend him out.

 

[ockingsfan]

So.... we use a first round pick on Giles..... spend 3 years rehabbing his knees in hopes that he gets healthy and becomes a stellar player the Kings can build around the next 10 years and..... we don't pick up a measly $4 million option to keep him on the cheap for next year???

The Kings are the laughing stock of the NBA. Vlade needs to be fired!!!

 

[CelticsFan]

Crazy

 

[SLAB]

Restricted free agent.

Unrestricted according to Ham.

I hope he achieves every ounce of his potential elsewhere.

Vlade is perfect for this awful franchise.

Actually, he becomes Unrestricted FA this summer. Bye Bye Harry!

Might as well start making trades to blow it all up.

Right, they definitely love someone they're cheap enough to basically cut over $4 million or let walk in FA.

 

[Sam0ah]

Nothing lately is making any sense. There has to be more to this story....

 

[CelticsFan]

I’m not as high on Giles as most but WTF, it’s only $4 million!

 

[upinsmoke]

His knee is probably done.

 

[The Effort Police]

Done.

Peace.

Goodbye.

For real. I hope we lose every game, Fox and Bagley demand out, and we get to see the look of misery and dejection on Vivek and Vlade's face while they sit courtside.
