I would bring him in for SL, and if he does good enough, 2-way contract.

Guessing Pheonix is part of a Lakers San Antonio deal and getting Ball.
I do not like that much this free agency for Kings.. lot of unrestricted FA who you need to overpay and players who are not fit for Kings, because of position thay play or character..
Randle and Gordon are playing in position that is crowded, and they need money and minutes.. Parker is more a PF than SF, coming from an injury and a bit of gamble, which would be ok if he is SF.. than LaVine, even if they can play him SF, would required a lot of money, and ball in his hand, plus he is not character fit for this team.. Smart also costs and also would be interesting how his character would fit Kings..
also Kings have veteran presence, so they do not need to sign more players to fill that gap..
so if I am Vlade I would just try to get some cheap contracts and to acquire assets from team that want to cut salary..
I like Nemanja Bjelica, he is stretch 4, but played SF while Jimmy was injured.. guy who is perfect fit on and off court, will do everything for a team, playing or not.. 2 years/10 mil I would offer.. especially if we can trade one big..
also Hezonja, he can explode, good character, also I would offer him similar contact..
other than that I would not try anything, just use cap to absorb bad contracts and get assets.. it would be great if there is posibility to atach for example WCS together with that and get young SF, but chances are not high..
the way I see it, Kings have young core, with future starters and future rotation players, and they will need a big name free agent to raise to another level, most likely SF.. so now that they can not get any, no need to spend money on big contracts.. try next year imposible to lure Klay Thompson or if not Tobias Harris.. if not wait one more year..
franchise is not in need to win now, young guys will grow and an oportunity to get good FA will come.. only stupid thing now for Kings would be to give bad contracts to players who are not sure thing..

At the end of this process, I want another good player on this team
No prospects
A good player. Capela/Nurkic/Porter etc, something along those lines
No injury question marks or unfulfilled youth

Phoenix is after vanvleet. They have over 18 mil available to spend

I would be very disappointed if we traded buddy or Bogi I order to get lavine. We need to focus on the SF and not try and get cute
Phoenix must see what some of us see. He's showing all the signs of breaking out into a legitimate starter.

Yes, and that can’t be nice for Buddy or Bogdan to read
Hopefully Jones is just parroting the word around town.

The Denver Nuggets must not only envision Barton as a versatile role player. Four years, $50+ million is starter money &, with the Nuggets in need to shed salary, I would not be surprised to see Barton starting at small forward after Chandler (potentially) get traded.

Chandler 12.8 and 2019 1st for jj 2.8
Denver saves 10 mil gives up pick
Why jj? Because we would still have 8 to spend on mario. Then ulis with exemption
Fox/ Ulis or Mason
Boggy/Buddy/Shump
Chandler/Mario/Temple
Bagley/Skal/Zbo
Koufos/Giles
Ulis>no back up (beside mason)
Shump=no shump
Chandler + Mario>JJ
Bagley + Giles>Wcs
*improvement at most if not all positions

Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic has committed to a five-year, $146.5M maximum contract with the Denver Nuggets, league sources tell Yahoo.

Denver has retained its two core free agents.
lol people here actually thought:
1) Denver would let their 23yearold franchise player, Jokic become a UFA to "save cap space"
2) They would trade him for the Kings' scraps

People thought that?

One thing I've been hearing: The Oklahoma City Thunder aren't sure that they'll be able to re-sign Jerami Grant. It's possible the 24-year-old gets a bigger offer from another team and they don't keep him.

yes, it was very popular on here... some kept arguing about how much more sense it made for Denver to make Jokic an UFA in 2019! They were insane! Others thought maybe the Kings could offer "more" for Jokic, and it'll make Denver trade him here.

As free agency opens, there is mutual interest between Mario Hezonja and the Knicks, sources say. Hezonja has multiple suitors and the Knicks are looking to offer short-term contracts to maintain cap space for 2019. Sacramento also has interest in Hezonja.

For someone who is always busted too
Knicks only have a max of $4million...don't see Hezonja going there.
