Makes sense. End of his career, trying to mix his basketball team, with his burger king franchises. I like it. Go (burger) Kings!

Well, don't know how much his reserve tanks holds, but we still have space for some filler contracts.

Butler is a guy that will earn most of his money in the lockerrroom and practice. I can see him being a great mentor to Ben, both have humble backgrounds. With that said here's another guy we can just stick in a corner that has proven he will knock down a open shot(looks at Nik, Marcus Thornton, John Salmons etc.)
So, between Butler and Belinelli, who gets #3?

Belinelli tweeted yesterday he will wear 3.

The best thing about this signing I think, besides adding an experienced vet and good lockerrom guy, is that Butler is the type of vet who probably still has a 20 point playoff performance in his back pocket. Looking at his game log for last season, he's not a nightly threat anymore but he had quite a few big games spread out over the season. If we do get to the playoffs, having an x-factor like that on the bench is invaluable.

It's got to be.
For veteran's who have played for more than 10 years, the veteran minimum in 2015-2016 is $1,499,187 and the veteran minimum in 2016-2017 is $1,551,659. In that case, he would make a total of $3,050,846 over those 2 years.
If this does happen to be a veteran minimum deal, that means we still have our $4,619,956 in cap space ($4,939,922 if Stockton is waived) to go after more free agents.
Ah, so. The real reason why McCallum was traded reveals itself.
So, the numbers that Butler has worn in his career have been 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 31. I guess 5 or 31 it is.

Vet minimum for a hard-working, 3 point-shooting, veteran presence? SIGN ME UP BABY!

Waive Stockton
Sign Andre Miller to veteran minimum
Sign Josh Smith & Cole Aldrich with remaining cap space
PG - Rondo/Collison/Miller
SG - McLemore/Belinelli/Anderson
SF - Gay/Casspi/Butler
PF - Cousins/Smith/Moreland
C - Koufos/Cauley-Stein/Aldrich
(Everyone in bold being a new player this year)

Look at this. For what we offered Matthews we got:
Belineli
Koufos
Butler
Rondo
Cassipi
Total: $68 million
What a favor he did us. I'd say we have a formidable team. Winning will cure all so if the Kings can play some .500 ball I think Karl and Cousins can close the wounds.

"Coach Rick Carlisle introduced Butler to the sellout crowd by sharing the story that he hates happened, but loves to tell -- about when Butler ruptured the patellar tendon in his right knee and crumpled to the floor in Milwaukee, how he somehow managed to shove his exploded kneecap back in place and walk off the floor under his own power so his mother and other family members attending from nearby Racine wouldn't watch him leave on a stretcher."
5 minutes a night, I don't care... This is the kind of guy I want wearing a Kings uniform. Another great signing, Vlade!

He'll get more minutes than that I bet. I do wonder though why not Cleveland? LeBron needs a backup and they don't have a Small Forward. For this price it's a steal, and Butler won't be getting that much burn here with our lineup. But who knows... I'm glad he's here.

Well the Back court is all set along with SF
All we really need now is a backup PF and 3rd string C?
