So really more of a one year deal than a guaranteed three year.

Odd that year 3 is player option but years 2 and 3 are non guaranteed. Why give player the option to opt in if you can just waive him since contract isn’t guaranteed?

Sounds like a prove it deal. Good enough in year 1? Team gets a second year at controlled cost. Good enough in year 2, player gets to test FA or take the money in year 3.

Diallo was the last wing prospect I hoped the Kings would take a shot at.

Eh, for that price they can have him. Well, I'd rather have him than Harkless at the same basic price but whatever, haha.

Steal. I would have easily doubled that with his upside potential. He made a real stride last year to actually being a productive player.

Diallo is also pretty redundant with Terrance Davis

They actually compliment each other pretty well. Both with some defensive potential with great athleticism/wing-span. Davis more of a 3pt bomber, Diallo is a finisher at the rim. Diallo is bigger too so he'd slot more effectively vs the bigger 3's than Davis imo.

i thought Diallo was bigger too. Then I checked the measurements. He’s for sure longer, but not by as much as I thought.

Yeah he's like 6'5, with a 6'11 wingspan.

It doesn't make sense but I also am curious given the date is the same random June date with no year given if it's one date for years 2 and 3. I'm also a little surprised that he doesn't cost all that much and he'd agree to that non-guarantee in Y2. But who knows. He was restricted right, he can probably do better next year on the market if he does get cut.

Are we going to have to put you on suicide watch when Vanderbilt gets signed to a 3 year, $10mil contract by some other team?

Nah, but I may come asking KF.com for a collection to buy me a new computer when I chuck it out my window.

How will you access KF.com without your computer?

Now THAT is a joke. Injury prone and can't play sustained, long minutes. Yeesh.

 

[kingsboi]

when you are a specialist, you can still get paid. case in point, Duncan Robinson

The answer to what WCS would’ve made on his second contract had he focused on defense.

 

[ESP47]

I would love to have Robert Williams. Dude is awesome defensively.

 

[The_Jamal]

Super interesting gamble. Bob Williams is a legit good ascending young player, but has some bad injury and foul issues. He'll be able to platoon for a few years with Horford, but then you're saying he can be on the floor for 30+ MPG with that money you're giving him.

Regardless, you take the shot. He has multi-year all-defensive upside if he can stay on the floor.

 

[Woot!]

Health an issue, but GREAT rebounder and shot blocker, and strong. Exactly what the Kings need in the middle.

Oh well.

Boston falling in love with players before they even know where they're team is going to top out at. New GM stuff at work there haha.

Boston lightweight has been failing recently and it might continue

I don’t know about that. I like the Smart, Brown, Richardson, Tatum, Williams line up.

Talents there but haven’t been doing much with it. Expectations are ring or bust with them for the most part and they haven’t won since they had a big 4 back in 2007

Is there a list of who like the top 10-20 remaining FA's are?

Here're all of them. You can sort to find the yet unsigned.

interesting but I’m not sure how they’ll be able to get minutes for Allen and Mobley now.
