An incredible overpay for a one dimensional player.

Should the Kings force the Nets hand on Bruce Brown? The Kings love those 6'4" guards but he can play SF and if the Kings are running a 6'1" player at 4 positions might as well go all in on the gimmick right?

Since 1999, there have been only two players 35 years or older who signed a multi-year contract with a starting salary of more than $25 million: Dirk (2 years, $50 million in 2016) and LeBron (a 2 year, $85.6 million extension earlier this season).

There are now 4
THT and Vandy are youth gambles that are only potentially available because of their current teams cap situations. You always take that shot when you're a team that needs an influx of talent, especially on the defensive end.
Porter and Winslow are injury gambles absolutely, but are only in the MLE price range because of said injuries. Would contribute more to "win-now".
Hart is probably the middle ground of a younger guy that can fit in with the core at a position of need. Tremendous rebounder, doesn't take offensive possessions, versatile defender.

I need to think about this one. But we definitely needed the depth at position.
Fine with it. Thought he played decently well, not a huge monetary commitment. Not a needle-move in the slightest, but does address position of need.

Is that 2nd year a team option/non-guaranteed? It better be.

Yup, pretty much this exactly.

The Mavericks are nearing a deal with Knicks free agent Reggie Bullock, league sources say.

Until Lukes Cojo replacement starts taking minutes from who? If this summer ends up with them having the same team and drafting another PG.... I swear.
nice! So literally “no harm no foul.” Still have our MLE, still have rights on Davis and Holmes. Moe fits in as perfect depth. Great all around.

Or both years non guaranteed
Sounds like we have the BAE since we had Harkless non-bird rights. Let us sign him to a 120% of his previous contract. Don't know if they'll use both the MLE and BAE, but nice to leave the option open.
Looks like he took a discount to stay in the situation. Not a bad idea to make another deep playoff run and hit the market again next year when more teams have cap.
No kidding. I see big deals going to guys we couldn't possibly afford and in most cases wouldn't want at those prices anyway, and anxious fans too often wedded to the oh-so-tired "Kangz"-can-do-no-right narrative. Course, I also generally like what Monte has done/not done under significant constraints not of his making.
I loved both draft pix and am guessing that the Kings do indeed retain Holmes and add solid-if-unspectacular wing help in FA. (Moe is a solid depth piece.) If he can turn the Buddy and Bags chips into additional, above-average frontline help, I'll be a very satisfied fan.
