Kings pull offer to Iguodala (split)

[Agent23]

Welp, so much for that cap space we freed up.

 

[Kingsfan23]

WOW, considering he was interested in coming to Sac, and we offered 4M more than GS, you have to think he was going to accept our offer right?

I think its just about personality fit. In his interviews he's really a team guy who doesn't like losing. Maybe its just not his personality to want to be 'the man' on a rebuilding team, but rather be a cog in a contending team.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

No.

He's going to a playoff team.

yea solid point. but its still pretty realistic that he could have taken our offer

 

[HndsmCelt]

He did take our offer. He took it back to Denver, inflated the numbers and tried to get them to out bid us.

 

[Entity]

maybe PDA underestimated that fact that FA don't want to come here. now he will be in panic mode.

 

[Darren]

This is looking like a dissapointing offseason.

 

[NewArena]

Did the kings still even want Iggy?

 

[John Galt]

Did the kings still even want Iggy?

Sure we wanted him. But would you take a few million less to to go San Francisco and be on a playoff team vs Sacramento project?? No brainer for him - no hard feelings here.

Denver offered Andre Iguodala a 4-year, $52M deal -- as well as 5-year scenarios -- before he accepted Warriors deal, sources tell Y!

Wow.. we never had a shot.. we were just leverage

 

[theclash4u5]

Wow.. we never had a shot.. we were just leverage

That's why we pulled the deal.

 

[Livinthedream]

I don't feel so bad about pulling the deal anymore. He was never coming.

i wouldnt jump to that conclusion.

none of us have any idea what the FO has planned right now.

IF there plan was to make the Tyreke deal and then use the cap space it created to sign Iggy, then yes they might panic a little
BUT if they new Iggy wasnt coming here and they have another plan or something worked out with that cap space, they probably didnt bat an eyelash today at the news of the Iggy signing

 

[VF21]

Yep, and the front office earned some valuable cred by not allowing the Kings to be used and pulling the offer the minute we learned what was up.

See, I knew we agreed on something...

I think is showed HUGE BALLS to do what they did, shows true business acumen.

Vivek Ranadive has true business acumen? You mean the guy who came to US with $50 and now has a billion? Well I'll be damned..

You mean the front office knows what they're doing?!? BUT...BUT....EVANS!!!!!

Clearly. Was only pointing it out in rebuttal to those who are saying it was a weak move or that it shows he's "cheap." Simply not the case.

 

[Fear the Putin]

slimy move by Iggy, but I guess that's just business right?

That's why it took him oh so long to make a decision because suddenly someone offered him a contract no other team would offer, which he didn't expect, but no way was he playing in Sac.

 

[Fear the Putin]

Damn.... the Warriors have done a great job at rebuilding. Back when they first signed David Lee I thought for sure all they did was guarantee years of barely making the playoffs and first round exits...

Curry
Thompson
Iggy/Barnes
Lee
Bogut

Is a young and talented lineup. They don't look very deep bench wise but the warriors seem to find a way to make their role players play to the top of their abilities. I wonder if this makes Barnes available.

oh they're clearing space for Dwight. Getting Iggy is definitely going to entice Dwight to come.

Lakers are not in it. It's between the Warriors and Rockets at this point.

 

[theclash4u5]

If we didn't have IT 2.0 behind The General, Jarrett Jack just became a FA...

 

[hrdboild]

So... ummm... it pains me to even type this but you don't suppose Vivek got a call from his old buddies in Golden State and they politely asked that we not sign away their #1 target for the off-season as a courtesy for them letting us steal Mike Malone? Is that why the contract got pulled?

 

[Arco Arena]

Looks like Dwight has chosen the Rockets.

 

[hrdboild]

Looks like Dwight has chosen the Rockets.

Not a surprise. It's the best fit for him talent-wise plus they've got Dwight's personal post tutor Hakeem pitching for them.

 

[Spike]

Well, the free agent pool is thinning out rather quickly...
