Would still love to get Horton Tucker and/or John Collins while unloading Buddy and Bagley

Dang it. Monte? You alive pal?

Lmao what the what on that Powell contract?!

 

[Tetsujin]

Watching most of the league put itself in cap hell to sign dudes like Duncan Robinson is honestly more exciting than any Kings deal would have been

 

[NewArena]

Am I the only one who thinks that both Robinson and Powell were overpaid? I mean I dislike both contracts almost equally

They're insane. Kings would be getting killed for deals like these but what has Portland accomplished with this group to justify such money? Media should be killing them too

So think it's highly unlikely the Spurs throw money at Holmes outright. Hornets COULD I guess, but that would be such a strange use of resources. OKC could be a real butthead and take on Dragic from the Raptors, but I doubt they'd make the "win now" move and try to sign him outright.

So OKC absorbing cap space to allow someone (Raptors?) to sign Holmes, or the Hornets grabbing a 3rd center after trading for Plumlee and using a 1st on Kai Jones.

If every team in the league is going to spend their cap space by the end of the day, that's got to make our trade chips more appealing right?

Kings legend eating!

 

[Noble]

NBA money is insane

 

[Tetsujin]

You do know most people don't want to come to the Kings right?

Damn it Monte, why couldn't you get the dude signing for the vet minimum to chase a ring to sign with a team that hasn't made the postseason in 15 years???

Man, there was some absolutely dumb moves today, but the Pelicans losing their 23 stud PG they had full team control over and GIVING up a 1st round pick to sign a worse PG(although still good) is all-time low. Griffin fumbling this off-season like crazy.

I usually ride for small markets, but I'm not going to blame Zion one bit when he demands out before his rookie deal is up.

 

[Tetsujin]

San Antonio still has enough cap space to sign Kawhi!

What the hell happened during negotiations in Milwaukee?

 

[ESP47]

Holmes


Oubre
Winslow
Porter
THT
Bruce Brown
Josh Hart

Vanderbilt

STILL every top target I wanted this off-season is out there with very little cap left.

I feel like the Kings never sign low risk, high reward type guys. They always go for the vet on the decline who has zero chance of improving and will almost certainly decline even more while they're here.

Remember when we wanted Kyle Anderson, Tyus Jones, Boucher and VanVleet early on? The only miss was Jones and he's still at least an average player.

Baze buying into the name game I see.

Fans here absolutely loathe Olshey and not just because of recent stuff, going back to the deal he handed out to former Kingsfans object of desire Evan Turner in 2016.

Yeah I don't think I'd call Tyus a miss. Dude just doesn't have a huge opportunity, but he's pretty easily one of the better reserve guards in the league. FVV was beyond obvious, stunned the rest of the league so clearly missed him.

 

[SLAB]

Imagine everyone doing this stupid stuff and the Kings sneak away with Holmes at 40 (now a steal despite my qualms with his game) and Oubre at the MLE.

Yeah I just don't think he would be a needle mover on this team like the other guys would.

I'd take most of the guys on your list. The only one I wouldn't take is Oubre. I think he's awful and would actually make the team even worse. He seems like he's this certain wing archetype but his effectiveness on the court doesn't follow his reputation.

Damn that'd be exciting.

Man... We could be the Spurs. How do they just not max John Collins? And force ATL into that decision? Why screw around with paying a ton of money to 2 dudes who likely don't move the needle?

Would rather have Porter than Oubre.
