Rangy wing who can play multiple positions and hit the 3.

Its funny how much better certain organizations are than others

Wondering what our "push" consisted of. Sounds like he prioritized joining a winning team.

Ennis received interest from several teams, including a push from the Sacramento Kings in recent days, before deciding on a deal to join a Western Conference contender in Houston.

[Starting Five]

Casspi! 3rd times a charm right?

LOL NO!

 

[dude12]

Not much left in free agency for SF. Sign Parker or play Shumpert, Temple, JJ or Jakarr there or make a trade.

 

[Nokidding]

Williams who plays for the Knicks in the SL I reckon would be a nice pick up although he did play for Joerger and Memphis and they did cut him so.......but I love his energy he's like Corey Brewer and gives it his all with insane athletic ability to back it up. But this is really reaching deep since we basically other than Hood have no options left except for a trade.

I really wish they would offer Smart a deal how can they have no interest the guy would not be competing with Fox since he can play two other positions smh.

 

[Kingsfan2002]

at this point I trade for chandler persons. give them Zach back, WCS /whoever and give us a 1st RD pick and call it a day?

 

[206Fan]

What about Devin Robinson? He's a FA who's lighting up the SL. He played last season on a 2-way contract with the Wizards.

23yearold 6'8 200lb with a 7'1 wingspan.

 

[206Fan]

Digging into his GLeague stats(44 games), it also seems like he's an adequate shooter.
Attempted 3.5 3pters a game, and made them at 38%.

I would be ok with a 2yr deal $4million, with the 2nd year being a TO.

 

[Noble]

I feel like this is the way to go for FAs this year. Try out some SFs for minimum pay and not get strapped into a 15/yr deal

Exactly. Just because we want someone to join the team, doesn’t mean they want to join. Vlade deserves a fair amount of criticism (as well as praise for some moves), but the most annoying complaint is to give him crap because he didn’t sign a guy, without any clue regarding the dynamics of negotiations.

I find it strange that a guy entering his physical/mental prime who could get plenty of playing time which he only had briefly in Memphis would choose to go somewhere that he likely again won't play as much as he could breaking out on the Kings and setting himself up for like a 10mil + a year contract. I know players want to "win" but if your a guy like Ennis in my humble opinion he would be beating the door down just to get big minutes (which he might get in Houston but doubtful).

I like Devin Robinson.

Willie once dunked on him really bad.

 

[joemama]

Bulls making moves (Parker?)

The Bulls have rescinded the qualifying offer on guard David Nwaba waived guard Sean Kilpatrick.

Nice find right there. Exactly the type of player the Kings should take a flyer on.

Major different is, Harden and CP3 were talking to Ennis for a while, talking him into joining the Rockets.

Intriguing move by the Bulls to rescind David Nwaba. I've heard their plan is to free space to absorb money (like Faried or Deng), then re-sign Nwaba using the Room MLE. They can create up to $20.6M. But I wonder if they could first try to sign a RFA (like Jabari Parker). @ringer

Gee Bulls might be using their cap space to absorb money or maybe RFA for Parker

Kings? - "Crickets"

Remember all the leaks we used to have with Gerbil?

I know it is frustrating, but really at least our FO seems to be able to keep things off the radar.

I think it’s because they have nothing going on to leak lol

Denver must have an agreement to take some salary off their hands because they just signed IT.

Also we could take the path the bulls dont take. They absorb a contract then we sign Parker (or vice-versa)

TRADE for HernanGomez he can play the 3 PLEASE! He looked like he had potential before a bunch of infections/injuries.

Bobby Marks @BobbyMarks42
The Isaiah Thomas contract in Denver now brings the roster to 16 guaranteed contracts. The Nuggets with the $1.5M Thomas cap hit (total $2M salary based on 7 years of service) now have a team payroll of $136.3M and a current tax bill of $22.5M. Denver... espn.com/espn/now?nowId…

All that over an they already moved chandler too.

Next move bulls and nuggets?

Adrian Wojnarowski @wojespn
Brooklyn has traded Jeremy Lin to the Hawks, league sources tell ESPN

Adrian Wojnarowski @wojespn
Denver has agreed to send Kenneth Faried, Darrell Arthur, a 2019 protected first-round pick and a future second round pick to Nets for Isaiah Whitehead, league sources tell ESPN. Salary dump for Denver.

Woj bombs everywhere

 

[luckytkp]

Who would have thought you could sign Evans, IT and DMC for less than 20m combined?

 

[joemama]

Great, if Atlanta absorbs lin into their cap, nets just used their cap, just need bulls to use their cap space and we will be only tem with significant space.

How much bull has left after Lavine?

They have the ability to free up over 20 million, they made two moves today toward that goal in kilpatrick and nwaba

Wonder if that means Atlanta has a big trade coming up for Scrhodar most likely going to the Magic
