No, they utilized the sign and trade to at least get something for Tyreke since the only other alternative was let him walk for nothing...
This stuff goes on every single year. It's just that before Twitter we didn't hear about all of it. And Geoff Petrie was notoriously tight lipped. I cannot remember the details but I do know that he actually pulled one deal off the table when details were leaked to the press by the player's agent.

Calderon turned down Kings offer within past hour, ultimately deciding against a full-blown rebuilding project, sources tell Y!

With Calderon out of play, Sacramento has green-lighted the three-team trade, league sources tell Y! Sports.

MT @Adrian Wojnarowski In proposed 3-way deal, Kings send Tyreke to N.O., Vasquez to Sacramento & Robin Lopez to #Blazers. Port sends picks, cash.

We better be getting at least a 1st rounder

Well let's be fair, they probably gave Calderon a offer after meeting with him and told him to think it over. Then when they started to work out a S&T with NO, they had to wait and see what Calderon decided to do. Of course they don't want Vasquez if Calderon signed, hence looking to flip him and Lopez to other teams instead. Now that Calderon said no thanks, then the deal is back on.
I'm not surprised some people like this because Vasquez averaged 9 ast last year and they get all hot and bothered over someone who can pass, as if there isn't/wasn't another way to accomplish the goal of improved passing without giving up our 2nd best player who's 23 yrs old and has clear All Star potential as a top two way player.
This is likely a huge ****ing mistake. We just moved Reke for an average PG with one decent year under his belt at 26 yrs old, who's career highlight was averaging 13/9 on a team which finished behind us last year, who has less than half the upside as Reke and in no way has a chance to be a game changing type of talent. Career averages of 9/5.7.
When you get more excited about a Vasquez/MLM backcourt than what Reke/MLM backcourt likely would have been on both sides of the ball, and get excited about trading away a 23 yr old with star two-way ability and game changing talent for a role player with career averages of 9/5.7 and is already 26, well, it says a lot about your understanding of this league. Some think with their heads, others think with their purple hearts.

In the future, it would make it easier for people to follow discussions if you (not meaning YOU, DD) don't start sub-discussions (off-topic or tangential topics) in a current, active thread. It makes it very confusing for anyone trying to follow the thread...
Thanks.

The cash actually makes sense if they are planning on Amnestying Salmons. If you are going to spend an additional 20MM in FA or other trades where we take on bigger contracts, then having the cash to offset the outflow is smart. Just because this ownership isn't broke, don't expect them to spend like the Knicks or Lakers.
Well there is always the option of overplaying him a bit and then if he doesn't work out then trade him for someone you do want. What they did instead was trade Tyreke for cap space and a lesser player who they would move to make way for their free agent signings.
Apparently no one told them that Sacramento, even without the stench of the Maloofs, isn't exactly a place many FA's want to go to. So we have now been turned down by Calderon and had Iguodala think twice about the generous contract we offered him.

BTW, it seems the last thing we're committed to is defense. Actually, it seems like our FO has no ****ing clue what they're doing right now and what their priorities are.
We're about to quickly turn into a run and gun, non defensive basketball squad which isn't good enough to compete with the best, nor bad enough to get a high pick and replace the star talent we just traded away. We're heading towards the deadzone, not contending, not rebuilding and acquiring star talent, and some will eat it up because it will be pretty. They love their up and down, fast breaking, high scoring basketball. Pretty ball. Yet, it's won nothing in this league.
