The advanced metrics currently have him on par with Anthony Morrow and Scott Brooks.We get it, you have a personal dislike for Bogi.

Yeah but what has Buddy done for Team Bahamas in FIBA play?As well the 3pt champion on an off year. Buddy will bounce back.
you left out
Kings fan: there is no path to better this year. Don’t lose assets that can make you better in 18 months so we suck for another 6 years
For one of the biggest Bogi fans you sure have little faith in him.
I don't like Bogi but it's pretty obvious he's good enough to make you better to a certain extent. We always hear "We're going to suck anyway" but what always happens? We end up in the 7th or 8th lottery spot (or move up by pure dumb luck like Vlade, but the point stands).
Bottom the eff out already.
A full season of both Bogi and Buddy taking valuable reps and playing time from Haliburton and our other young guys could be irreparably damaging.I suppose if they match, then Bogi is the tank commander and we can assure ourselves of a top 3 pick

Here is an idea, what if Bogi is our version of Monta Ellis and letting him go makes the team better. It sure did wonders for Curry.

I mean, I think Brooks might be getting half of that a year as a head coach.both those guys make nearly 20mil a season, right?
Who are the Kings currently better than in the West? Or the east for that matter?Kings aren’t going to be bad enough with or without Bogi to be in the top 3. The team won 38 games the season before last and were likely to be around the same or slightly better if not for the rash of injuries last season. The roster has not suffered any significant subtractions to believe they are all of a sudden near the bottom 3 of the league. Losing Bogi wouldn’t ensure that, keeping Bogie would ensure that it wouldn’t happen.
The Kings aren’t tanking. I’m not making a statement on whether they should or shouldn’t....I’m just making the observation that it simply isn’t happening
Well said.....and on top of that, he takes away playing time from Hali AND Woodard.

Luka’s situation as a 19 year old in the NBA draft and Bogi’s as a 28 year old with loads of injuries and three years of already being in the NBA aren’t even remotely comparable situations.I love how some people still play jokes on FIBA basketball after all the Doncic saga. And again, and again,...
Let's see what James & Woodard can do. I mean if either even become suitable backups it's all gravy. But we will never know that or give them a chance doing things the way we've been doing them.
People need their scapegoats and ignore their achievements and embellish the warts. Same could be said for those backing bogi though. As someone that likes both but can see both go, I find it funny reading both sidesI love how some people still play jokes on FIBA basketball after all the Doncic saga. And again, and again,...
I actually forgot we still have Justin James.
The thing is that the only people making this about Bogi versus Buddy are apparently the ones who want us to keep both. I personally think we need a hard reset there since both dudes are going to be 30 before we’re actually in any position to seriously compete again.People need their scapegoats and ignore their achievements and embellish the warts.

Ok going to talk logically, well try to size everything up
The new Bogi contract with the kicker is going to end up being a net negative as far as value is concerned around the league. Sure you can take worse salary back and try to sell him later, but do we really want to invest in him?
With both Buddy & Bogi on the team together, each of them are less valuable as far as trade assets. They simply get in each others way sometimes.
We are on the hook for a large Buddy & Barnes contract all ready.
We are not going to make the playoffs next season, may as well develop.
I question at this new salary and kicker if he's even an asset after that.
Think we should let him go, sucks we can't do a S&T, oh well. Signing him is an all in move, and for what reward are we going to gamble for? Not very much.
The thing is that with the evened out lottery odds, you don’t even need to be bad bad, just bad enough to have a shot. Plus the 2021 draft is deep enough that not being in the immediate suck zone doesn’t preclude you from potentially grabbing a future star.Could an argument be made we will be better this year as is?
Fox missed a bunch of games -> maybe healthy?
Bagley missed most of season-> big leap & health?
Buddy down year-> return to norm?
Drama over starting role-> defined roles
now the argument against is other teams improved more.
I’m not suggesting playoffs but I wouldn’t be totally shocked if this was a better team than last year. Unfortunately that would leave us out of the top picks.
So are we re-signing Bogi then immediately banishing him to the end of the bench them?if you agree the contract is a net negative I agree. But I don’t think it is
