is it going to be Dedmon?

[SacTownKid]

I’m guessing 3 year 38 mil

Dedmon better be closer to MLE if those numbers are correct.

I can live with that

 

[dude12]

Dedmon will be signing a 3 yr 40M deal with the 3rd year partially guaranteed per Amick

Basically official:

w000t! We didn't overpay for a 3pt shooting center!

With Barnes at 85 and Dedmon at 40,
Quick someone do math

 

[SacTownKid]

A little much. I think Vlade should have waited to see what happens with Kawhi first. Go with the young guys if he moves west and see what happens at the deadline. The more money to play with then is better than micro movements towards the playoffs before you even know what the competition is going to be.

Good guess!

 

[allrightythen]

Just over 13M per year seems awfully reasonable these days.

Yeah when midlevel is 9+
13 for a starter is good

They said Barnes has a decreasing contract (assuming 8% decreases) and I’m going to assume Dedmon’s decreases too (5% decreases).

That means we would still have $9.3 mil in cap space.

If we let WCS go, that climbs to $22.5 mil.
If we let Ferrell go, that climbs to $24.8 mil.
If we let Mason go, that climbs to $25.5 mil.

3rd year is only partial garuntee so if things look right with Giles and Bagley we can end this after 2 years. Good contract for kings

Coupled with a 3rd year partial guarantee . I think this is very reasonable and they still have a ton of $

Let them all go and save the space. Vlade finally did it last year and he came away with Barnes. It's fairly obvious at this point the Kings will have to trade their way to something if they need it.

 

[The_Jamal]

Excellent deal all around, depending on what that 3rd year guarantee is. Dedmon makes us better now and he's an excellent handcuff for Giles when he ready to take over

let them all go and give it to Horford

So that's enough for a Masive Horford contract LOL

We need to upgrade backup pg and sf next.

 

[AaronPDX]

Rumors on Twitter saying Horford now returning to Boston...odd. lol

 

[Kangztillidie]

I really do think that the Kings will be trying to use the 3-point threat more and more. For a team pretty good at shooting it we sure seemed to be reluctant to pull the trigger at times. Having a center that can do that would be a big help with spacing.

Where is the B-52 bomber when you need him?

I think you hit the nail on the head behind the coaching change....

 

[John Galt]

I understand that point of view but I don't subscribe to it. backup SF Corey Brewer. backup PG by whoever, sometimes Bogi

 

[Kangztillidie]

Says he is not..on bleacher report.

 

[AaronPDX]

And now "Horford NOT returning to Boston despite Celtics' cap gymnastics" - Boston Herald. This is crazy.

 

[Jkbiker]

so that massive Kings offer that was coming in 30 min, gave Al the leverage he needed to get Boston to up their offer?

I liked bogi running the 2nd unit his first year, his second year not so much.

Dribble, dribble, dribble (shot clock running down), dribble to free up, jack up shot

 

[Jkbiker]

so are kings going to make Al offer or not?

I agree - I saw that too. But I think it can be coached out of him.

I think they were but it wasn’t for 4 years 100 mil that’s why they said he probably will be going elsewhere.

 

[ESP47]

Oh yeah I might have been looking at his numbers from year ago. And you are right. Average defense would be a good accomplishment from this group. Bagley was a liability last year, Hield is probably average at best, Barnes is average and Fox is above average so the road to success for this personel looks to be high tempo spacing offense that can provide enough defense. If we arent using big money at C, I would like us to get at least one good 3&D forward so we can mach up properly in the playoffs.

Ariza might just fit that bill if he hasn't lost a step.
