Kings sign Eric Mika to a 10-day contract

[Tetsujin]

Makes sense with Dedmon questionable with an illness and all the injuries upfront.

Mika played well in the summer league games.

He’ll join the likes of Jon Brockman and Jack Cooley as limited upside hustling folk-heroes everyone wants to see get minutes

Yea pretty much exactly this.

Or precursor to a Dedmon Trade? Dedmon Illness cover for trade talks?

one can hope

Mika played well in the summer league games.

And in the G-League. I've been to a couple of games and he played very well.

Better than us spending a 13th pick for one.

In all seriousness, the league has kind of discouraged teams to using illness to cover trade talks in past couple of years.

The Kings answer to Sabonis

That's a picture of Mieke and his cute cousin, Jan.

Last I saw, Jack Cooley was playing for a team in the Japan league.

Never know, we could find ourselves our own Lu Dort

 

[Kings_of_California]

Now that we've got our franchise center we can look at some other positions in the draft.

He had a nice game, going up against some formidable opponents. A good guy to have at the end of the bench and easy guy to root for. Seems to have a good understanding of the game as well.

 

[jellyfish]

I know I was joking about Sabonis but he does have a similar frame/solid quickness (less skilled off course), he was banging with the big boys like Dwight comfortably and looked as good as anyone not named Holmes at C. Would like to see what he has and if he's a 3rd energy C or if he can carve out a back up role.

So did I read somewhere that Mika was waived? If that happened does he go back to Stockton, back overseas or in limbo until someone else picks him up?

I have no clue how this works if it actually happened.
