But why did that happen? Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a money loser for the hosts.

I don’t think the Kings have any intention of firesaling assets to rebuild but they absolutely can run it back and hope that a competent vet PG can help showcase some of our movable pieces this season to get deals made while the team secures a top 8 pick. It’s weird that the biggest kings...

Some are saying Houston did him a solid sending him home to his preferred destination. I have no idea but I feel like we should pull Carter from our offer and let Dubs know they are running out of options.

On the plus side maybe the Dubs should take whatever trash we throw at them for Kuminga now? I think we should be able to keep Devin after seeing this.

how do we not work a deal with Houston that beats this ?? is it cap space or is there salary coming back?

The Spurs were trying to force us to take on bad money with the Fox deal and to me that was one of the most objectionable parts of it. Who knows how much the Kings really wanted Zach based on stuff Peja has said, who knows if we had just accepted more of their trash if we could have extracted...

I feel like while Euro deals are reported post tax they are also reported total $$$ and not per year.

I think they are talking about using Saric's contract to match salaries so I don't know. Saric may be in the same boat. It's also possible getting traded once again was the final straw in a will he or won't he. Can't be nice. Two more years til my child graduates high school... ex-pat...

no 💩?

Sasha's deal was unprecedented iirc. There was a lot of talk about whether the NBA would allow his full contract to come off the cap or what have you. I think had that been known upfront we'd have just let him walk?

A lot of athletes maintain offseason residences in Florida which I assume allows them to save taxes on passive income.

Can't imagine Denver lets him go the way Toronto/Sasha ultimately worked out. Did he have an option? NGL, if he does go to Europe that was a hell of a hustle by Scottie to get something for nothing that we can use as a trade chip. This was talked about as a possibility before the deal.

I think to a certain extent they are hoping that by painting the Kings as unreasonable in a sign and trade offer they can force him to a contract in the MLE to 20m neighborhood since nobody has money. I also think this is sort of the Keon strategy, nobody will have money so he can take MLE with...

nope, just a former Trailblazer. :oops:

Apparently stamps his feet.
