Ira Winderman: This piece details Portland, Sacramento, Minnesota as the three finalists for Derrick Jones Jr., with Heat, with limit of one-year offer, seemingly out of picture early. Charlotte seemingly factored in before Hayward came into play.
At least we tried to get Derrick Jones Jr.?
Note: Link doesn't work, here is the story from New York Times: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/25/sports/basketball/nba-free-agency-derrick-jones.html
Jones started his first meeting, with representatives of the Sacramento Kings on a video conference call at 6:28 p.m.
“What’d you think?” Turner asked when it ended.
“If they’re going to let me play and let me be me,” Jones said, “then I’m with it … if the number’s right.”

Well that’s encouraging in the sense that he’s exactly the type we should be chasing. And encouraging that this didn’t come out until now. We may need to spice up our pitch, though!

"let me be me"???
I don't entirely know what that means but it sounds toxic.

I hear you. But the older I get, the more I realize that the fit has to be right on both sides. If the people hiring aren’t interested in putting you in the best position to succeed and be the best you - keep looking.

lol exactly what I just thought reading it. Basically “let me act like an entitled ass and do what I please or I’m not coming”

yeah but CHA has an incentive and that’s to move Batum and his contract. What does ATL have that they want to unload and why would the Kings want it back?

Yes but they are not under the time constraints. The deal is done and the delay is seeing if they can minimize the cost. And it’s not under hostile circumstances.
And we will see how competent that GM is in a couple years paying that salary.
Charlotte wanted to play ball, it's pretty clear Atlanta wanted to keep the Kings from making an offer to other teams and getting a deal done.
Get back to me when that TPE does something meaningful, because 95%+ of them go unused. And the Kings are under the cap and I think would like to stay there.
Nah, can't get in the way of the narrative.
in case you missed it, he was screaming bloody murder all last night that we did not work out a deal to get a TPE or a second rounder. All the reports were that ATL did not want Bogi to bring the offer back to the team and pushed him to make a decision. They had a ton of cap space they wanted to use and they threw their weight around, I am not sure why he thinks they would have been eager to cooperate with us, for all we know they stuck it to us for taking Wes for some reason, since arguably there should have been some kind of outreach otherwise.

Good for him. Where and how he was drafted isn't on him. Seemed like a good young man.

A good system and a little bit of luck could be the difference between him and guys like Danny Green and Kent Bazemore. Could be a great signing.

All the more reason to legally change his name to Sauce Castillo. Fresh start.

Harrison Barnes would fit quite nicely into part of that large TPE that Boston just got in the Hayward sign and trade.
Hey Danny Ainge, how about a Harrison Barnes (and his world championship experience) for one of your future first rounders! HB could slide right into that starting stretch 4 opening you have!
You're right it does open some options.Harrison Barnes would fit quite nicely into part of that large TPE that Boston just got in the Hayward sign and trade.
