Between Yogi and Bjelica, "Role players reneging on agreements with better teams to sign with the Kings" is one of the weirdest under-the-radar subplots of the offseason.
I gues Yogi likes picnic baskets with peanut butter Bjelly sandwiches

Vlade Divac averaged 8.2 rebounds per game over his career. Apparently, he's pretty good at getting free agents off the rebound, too.

I mean, I have no idea what the Kings are doing, like, wouldn't Capella be a good move at this point?, but sure why not?

I can confirm that the Kings have added Yogi Ferrell on a two-year $6.2 million deal. Nice budget pick up for Sacramento. Roster now stands at 15.
I like this signing and it adds another talent player to our bench unit. So we've got:
Fox / Yogi / Mason
Bogdanovic / Buddy / McLemore
I'd say that's a solid back court unit and could be good to watch. I'm guessing Shumpert or Bogdanovic will play some SF with the other at SG, unless of course McLemore doesn't suit up for us.

Yogi Ferrell’s 2-year, $6.2M contract with Kings, per @Shams Charania, would perhaps start at about $3.0M, just above his initial $2.9M qualifying offer with Mavs. He backed out of 2/$5.3M from Mavs earlier. Kings will increase to 15 players, but still have about $17.5M cap room.
Bruski has been spitting bad basketball take after bad basketball take. Not a clue who Yogi is as a player.
Overall good signing from pretty much all sides. Gives us the back-up ball-handler we desperately need, adds really good shooting. Should push Mason to improve and light a fire under him to get his game going.

“I heard the vision and optimism from Vlade and Brandon, and got a view of the culture and direction from veterans I look up to, and that was impactful,” Ferrell told Yahoo Sports. “I see the explosive potential from a starving young group that wants to open the floor up with more shooting and play with speed and stats.
“I’m excited about the opportunity to grow with this team and I can’t wait to bring my heart to Sacramento.”
