Kings sign Precious Achiuwa

[TaxMan]

One other possible positive from this move is that if the team can't navigate Keegan's downtime with this signing it may just be one more piece of evidence that Perry needs to turn over the roster at the deadline.

I’m still of the belief that we are all projecting onto Perry what we want to believe. That this is a master tank plan on his part and we will rejoice at the trade deadline when he finally convinces Vivek (through some sort of hypnosis) to dump our vets for picks and salary filler. What other explanation could there be? Well, maybe Perry really thinks he can make enough Russel/Precious moves around the edges to get this squad to work? I will gladly eat crow on this but I think Perry is stuck a decade behind the curve in current thinking and his GM schmoozing skills may be vastly overblown.

We are currently on pace to finish 33-49. If that holds he won’t have much choice but to trade off what he can. I’d imagine Russ would get bought out to help a contender and they would at least try to trade Deebo. If they can’t, he almost certainly gets bought out next year because we would likely be over the tax with the Keegan extension kicking in.

We'll be a tax team next year if we re-sign Keon and Keegan kicks in, no-way Vivek is going to pay the tax with a 13-15 place team. Especially when the arena will be empty if they don't lower ticket prices.

The sad /crazy thing is Precious might be the best signing the Kings have made in the past 2-3 years, team needed a tough energetic good rebounding big, also in other stories of past deep bench Kings, Mason Jones got cut after 5 games in the garbage Australian League he was shooting like under 30% or something really bad
