Kings make offer to Iguodala
- Thread starter J-WILL55
- Start date
I am going to assume PDA has a plan or otherwise this makes little sense. It would hurt us to have to renounce Tyreke and then sign Iggy. That's ridiculous. I'm glad you have a grasp of this as I kinda have a grasp and see it as doable. I think the first year on Iggy's contract is close to $12.25 mil but I don't really know how to calculate it. C'mon help an old man out. 
4/56 is not too bad at all... I'll take it, if the plan is to resign Evans as well. WOw I am more excited than ever to be a Kings fan!
MAYBE Denver would be open to a sign-and-trade which would open caproom to sign Iguodala without renouncing Evans but otherwise Tyreke is gone.
Don't use that phrase!
But seriously, I think that the "Cadillac of role players" is exactly the best the Kings can hope for in free agency at this time. They're banking on the star power growing from within, and getting the veteran defender and facilitator to lead the locker room. I think I'm largely OK with this.

The first year is around $11.5 mil, not $14 mil. Each year increases at 4.5%. I cannot for the life of me believe that PDA doesn't have a plan for freeing up cap space like trading for next year's draft pick or something of that order. Makes me really wonder if we signed IT. If we did, that was a mistake. It cut out $1 mil to play with. I think we can get into striking distance. Tyreke may want $11 or as Jason Jones says, $12 mil (????) but there is nothing that dictates what he will take if he has loyalty to the Kings.
But he still provides a veteran figure to a very young team, good defense, and covers up the SF spot we've been needing for so long. And he has playoff basketball experience, so if we do make it with him under contract, eh can help out the younger guys who have never experienced playoff basketball.
And we have to overpay to bring big names here, remember?

As long as they don't give away the star power to get this aging Cadillac.
At 34 yrs of age I will eat my hat if Iggy is worth $16mil. he doesn't have to slide much for that thing to approach worst contract in the league status. Don't believe me? Last year he averaged 13.5pts 5.3reb 5.4ast on .454 shooting, .317 from the three point line. + Defense of course. But just a little sink, just a minor one, and that's 12 4 and 4. One significant injury and it could be 10 4 and 4.

At the present we have $51,000,000 in salaries including Tyreke's and Ben's cap hold. If the salary cap is $58,000,000 we need to free up roughly 5 million to sign Iggy assuming the first year on his salary is $12 mil. Amnestying Salmons would do it. The major point is all we need to do is free up cap space to sign Iggy and the amnesty should do it. Tyreke can be signed using the Bird exception. We always can sign draft picks if we are over the salary cap.
We would use two exceptions.
I must be wrong but they make sense. These figures are rough but are close.
I am not going to go into full bore funeral mode yet.

basically after the 2.4 mil for maclemore. we are at 44 mil owed salary. amnesty salmons and drom 7.58 mil that puts us at 36.42. Salary cap set at a reported 58.5 mil so 58.5 - 36.42 comes to 22.08 to be split between Iggy and reke in some way shape or form. 11.5 starting and 10.5 starting should work. still not sure about Isaiah situation or like you said another 1 mil cleared up.
