Vivek said he wants players that are committed to playing here. If you're overpaying somebody to come here and they are still pondering, then they aren't committed to playing here, but $ is making them think.
Them pulling the offer has nothing to do with Iggy's talent, but rather their perceived commitment that he has to playing here. Simple as that.

I'm sure Masai Ujiri would be more than happy to discuss Isaiah Thomas for Rudy Gay, if the Kings are still looking for a wing

Amick is saying the actual numbers on Iggy was 4 years, 52 million. Less than the 58 million that Amick basically confirmed that it was leaked from Iggys agent.
Inflated offer number tells me it was a leverage play by the agent to get more money out of Denver or a place Iggy actually wanted to play, and that the Kings were never in it. Who know's, just keep Tyreke.

Yes. It's a good move to set a precedence. We don't have time to waste on being used as leverage when we give you a great offer. It's a good business move in my opinion because it eliminates meeting with agents who were simply going to use Sac. Now you will only be dealing with players who are truly considering playing here.
I don't see how offering a 4/56M contract is a good thing, shows our FO means business and that we're a destination.
And that pulling that same offer hours later also is a good thing and makes our FO look good and that we're a destination.
You can't say both are good, it's a near contradiction. And saying we don't care how Iggy takes this is besides the point. What other FA's will be jumping at the opportunity to have their contract offer pulled out from underneath them faster than what any FO has done that I'm aware of? You can't just go around insulting FA's and then saying, well, no big deal, we'll just go after the next. There's a reason national writers are shocked we pulled that offer so quickly. That's not lost on other FA's.
But we'll see, I'm happy with this outcome but worried about the message it might send.

if they offer a contract straight up without Reke signing an offer sheet, then he can accept it.
If he signs a Pelicans offer sheet, it may be structured differently to prevent matching.
That is why Reke is holding off to committing to an offer sheet from NO. He wants to come back to Sac and would rather get the same one from them that is favorably structured.

Well I'll say this for our new front office, they're not boring! If we've made retaining Tyreke the priority I can't complain. Get him signed first and if we can still work a deal for Igoudala by trading a contract, great. If not, there are other options at SF but at least we're set in the backcourt. Evans/Cousins/McLemore has a longer shelf life, we can add young talent to that and get better over a couple years. Maxing out Igoudala and losing Tyreke grabs attention but it also means losing talent for nothing and constraining ourselves with a shorter window of contention.
