Things are changing with the new CBA
Teams want to sign people in order, but have players wait after a verbal agreement to get everything just right. Teams will rescind qualifying offers, trade players who they made promises with. If a trade or FA situation comes to the team before they actually signed a player they may later balk.
I think the verbal agreements are going to mean less over time.
But yes I'm sure they are annoyed.

Rumors going around that Andrew Wiggins is starting to follow some Kings on twitter.. I prefer Vlade replaced and a vetted GM before any more long term moves (damage).. That would be long term

They are talking about it on the Sactownroyalty Ferrell signing thread

Yeah I’m not a big fan of taking on Wiggins but I guess it depends on who we’re getting rid of and if any picks are coming back. I’d be more comfortable letting Bogie or Buddy try their hand at 3 while JJ grows into that role and be patient with the cap space than panick and commit to such a long term contract for a questionable scorer with tunnel vision.
players follow eachother all the time. don't think there's anything on that Wiggins front.
Yeah love the guy been saying for years we should trade for him o well.

They are desparate. They need to carve out space for 2019, so they can sign a Kyrie-type friend of Jimmy, or else Butler will walk.
I’ve spent the past three weeks almost talking myself into Wiggins. If there’s a guy in the league who is a parallel narrative to pre-Kings Webber, it’s Wiggins. The argument for would go somethin like: he didn’t plateau until Thibs got there and it’s becoming painfully obvious that Thibs was a man fashioned for an already bygone era. Allegedly, Thibs and Butler don’t like Towns either, which is simply ridiculous. Butler has now blown up two locker rooms—the guy might just be perpetually angry at all hos co-workers.
In short, Wiggins might....might....snap right back on track if he traded and given his own team again. But, it’s a big bet.

Would they have money to sign Irving even if they traded away Wiggins? KAT has a $19mill cap hold.
I don't see Minnesota dumping Wiggins. What if they dump Wiggins, but Butler decides to leave in FA next year? They'd only have KAT left to show for....
that's pretty devastating considering they could've had:
Dunn
LaVine
Wiggins
Markannen
KAT
For that possibility alone, I don't see Minnesota dumping Wiggins.
Word is they love Jonah Bolden who is a stretch 4/5 who can block shots so I don't blame them I really like his game as well super skilled.
Well, there you go. Done deal obviously.

How about Scott Layden? He has been vetted as GM with NY and Minessota..

Wiggins would be a major pull for Vlade... Picks coming back?!? LOL..
As long as the future 1sts, Fox, Bogdan, Hield, Giles, Bagley, WCS and Hield aren't involved itd be a home run. Wiggins is a supreme athlete in transition as is Fox and Bagley.

Im not going to complain about Bjelica and Ferrell a players. Ferrell can be a solid backup and Bjelica can be solid, though I don't agree with his age and not getting youth
But, Capela. I just watched coming to terms with role players over making the move for the solid young positive starter.
I understand the positional concerns, etc, but its not something I agreed with
The team needed a major acquisition this offseason

What makes you think that Capela wants to come to Sacramento? Just because we have money?

It was us, or play chicken with a lowballing Houston as his options.. He may not have chosen Sacramento, but he may have liked our offer sheet to try to get matched by Houston..
If he didn't, he must not have really wanted to be here

That's assuming we gave a offer sheet. Houston might not have matched.

I would definitely take Wiggins and his contract, if we can keep our young core of Fox, Buddy, Bogdan, Giles and Bagley intact.
Wiggins is a legit 20 ppg wing player.
We could send them WCS (KAT's buddy) and filler/expiring contracts of Randolph, KK or Shumpert for Wiggins. I would even consider sending one of Skal, JJ, or Mason (if required).
Kings would be real fun and fast:
PF Bagley / Skal
SF Wiggins / JJ / Ben
C Giles / KK / Davis
SG Bogdan / Buddy
PG Fox / Yogi / Mason

Cavs, with more free agency flexibility, are among the teams to speak with David Nwaba bit.ly/2LgKArT
