Your post reminded me of Tombstone.

FWIW, the Warriors board is speculating about and hoping for WCS.

Sadly for us, he’d likely do well there.

He would do great there. Probably just fill into that McGee role from a couple years ago....assuming he can live with that.

Addition by subtraction! Very nice to hear

 

[Cojc]

When I heard he was not going to be with us I was devastated, I mean can’t sleep, crying all the time, can’t eat.

Oh who am I kidding I woke up and the sun is shining as bright as our team is. l have a feeling he is one of those guys that has a decent career but never will be the star he thinks he is.

Anyway good luck WCS I wish you well.

I never really felt strongly one way or the other about Willie. It's a little disconcerting that another top ten draft pick walks for nothing.

 

[Chupacabra]

I am really curious where WCS will sign. The teams who might need a big imo are the hawks, bobcats, Clippers, Lakers, Celtics, Hornets and Wizards.

If he signs with the 7akers he will be dead to me forever. Even if he were to come back. D-E-D, dead.

I'd rather have gotten something for him, but that's my only regret. Welcome, Dewayne!

The time for that was last years trade deadline. Looks like nobody wanted him then and he's going to be crying over what he gets now.

I can't find a single droplet of news regarding his status/offers/suitors. Really curious to see where he lands and for what.

I can see Willie getting a salary similar to that of Nerlens Noel

 

[kingsfan1984]

Will willie sit out a year holding out for that Adams or Hortford money?

Probably won't till after Leonard makes his decision. Then teams will scramble.

I would have too but it seems like we acted pretty decisively in FA rather than getting the July 10th leftovers so I'm not worried about it. I also imagine that having him until we were capped out helped in negotiations for his replacement.

 

[upinsmoke]

He signed with the Warriors not sure how much cap they have though.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Zach Lowe says WCS is signing for slighlt above the minimum. Wow.

[upinsmoke]

What a strange dude WCS is. All he had to do was fill a role here and he could have got paid.

 

[Joshoua]

Minimum how is that even possible, when your coming of your rookie contract all you have to do is be average and you’ll get paid

 

[SLAB]

Fourth splash brother!!!!!

I guess it wasn't just mean old Kings fans who didn't think he measured up.

 

[Kings_of_California]

Hahahaha I'm so happy he didn't get paid. On top of that, I hate the Warriors so much - I'm talking loathe, that I'm actually hoping he does poorly. Truly. Don't even care. I'm pissed. Good luck Willie, not. Screw you. Enjoy your chump change.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

(Almost) Free Willie.

Three games into his tenure he complains about being locked out of the offense.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

I really do look forward to the spin on this.

I'm hoping he's the one guy who they can't whip into shape. I truly wish him the worst professionally. I wanted to root for him on some pointless team - but the warriors? No. I hope he's an absolute dud.

Agreed. He definitely doesn’t carry over the same goodwill I had for Cousins. Lol

 

[Kings_of_California]

I really hope this was a "damn I didn't have any offers" signing rather than a "I want a ring" minimum signing. Willie never struck us as the type to taker a lesser role and lesser money so I dunno.

Where did our man Ozy go?

 

[NewArena]

He would do great there. Probably just fill into that McGee role from a couple years ago....assuming he can live with that.

Except ... McGee is a much better rim protector, stronger and doesn’t care about “touches”

Meh. Good luck though!
