TREY BACK

No way. If you sign Trey to come back and Sasha comes over and doesn't suck, the only way Trey even gets minutes is at that spot. It's like the same thing every year, the Kings seem to build a little too much off of depth. Paying Lyles, Metu, and TD on 1 year deals at a low amount is fine, but once you start upping the numbers and years on your end of rotation guys, they need to be at the end of the rotation. Barnes, Murray, Sasha, Lyles and Domas leaves a little bit of squeaking room for a SF to play some defense. There's almost not a single reason to overpay on a C now. Maybe a 1 year contract and that's it.
This is pretty decent value for the Kings. That contract comes in at 6% of the salary cap. Since in free agency you should expect to pay about 3% of the salary cap for 1 WS, that would suggest that if Trey comes in at ~2 WS per season, he meets value. The last two seasons Trey has averaged 3.1 WS per season, so we can hope to get value out of that deal.
I know we're not in the Barnes thread, but the same logic applies to HB. His contract is right around 12.25% of the salary cap, so you're hoping for about 4 WS, and over the past four seasons with the Kings Barnes has averaged about 5.4 WS. Both guys look like good value.
(And yes, WS aren't everything, but they're at least something you can put an all-around value to and maybe it approximates real all-around value.)
