or, hear me out, this massive overpay allowed Duarte to happen.

He’s not that young though. Same age as Kuzma.

And the crop of names available will likely be some of the names signed today! lol.

Possible but Duarte isn’t solving any of our gaps

Did they put Dwight Powell on this list....
You do win in the NBA by not putting bad money on your books.
Even in the new cap, this Cam Johnson deal is bad. He's an amazing shooter and a reasonable defender, but there's no playmaking, he doesn't rebound, he doesn't get to the line. BKN better hope his offensive game can take a leap and he can be a reliable #2 at this tag.

2/$16 for Lyles compared to 4/$80 for Poeltl is absurd

Not happening up at the top of that list. Maybe take a flyer on someone on that list towards the bottom but a run back roster is typically your roster. There are no opportunities here.

I wouldn't mind DFS on this squad at all.
Nice contract.

Trey Lyles

Everything else has been REAL REAL dusty. Good lord.
Except 1 certain GM.

Can they, tho?
It seems to me that if Monte holds onto anything for another couple of hours, the fan base would riot.

They're both 27.
Sure will be interesting if we can squeeze in one more value signing and hang onto that TPE when teams start regretting all the big money that flew around today and need relief at the deadline with the new CBA rules in place.

and I don’t think he’s necessarily better than Barnes. I agreed fully with Dlo and KC on any Cam Johnson talk. Not that Johnson was ever seriously connected to the Kings outside of fan suggestion.
That is purely Cam Johnson being somebody new for the sake of somebody new.
They are basically the same player template. Their numbers are nearly identical. Johnson is younger but older than most would think. Yet, he’s worth $10 million more per season? Based on what?
Must be the Carl Landry fallacy. He puts up big scoring numbers in reserve minutes..so if you give him 10 more minutes he’ll be a big time scorer. They’ll regret his deal

Barnes also isn’t making 9 figures over the next four years
