Kings sign Yogi Ferrell for 2years/$6.2M

[John Galt]

reading on twitter that his name is not yet on the line which is dotted... surely a cap formality but if he will leave Dallas at the altar maybe he would do the same to us.

 

[EIM86]

Love the move by Vlade they realised Mason is not very good and Yogi gives us another shooter and another elite speed demon, he can also play as a off ball SG if we want to run the ball through someone else or if other teams play two PG line ups and both Yogi/Fox are playing well.

The saddest thing about this is Jerry retired without getting to call Yogi's name and give one of his classic liners, I say they bring Jerry back just for one game.

Im sure Jerry will.come back for a game or two for at least a short cameo

 

[NewArena]

Hate to do this but open the floor, shooting, and smarts added with the new nba of small ball. Ya Doncic was the right pick

yea, he also said speed, so i see why you left that out

 

[fnordius]

FWIW, I just noticed that the Kings now have two players with positive "real plus-minus" stats, Yogi and Bjelica. http://www.espn.com/nba/statistics/rpm/_/page/3/sort/RPM I find that encouraging.

Doncic excels in fastbreaks as well

 

[macadocious]

Does every post have to be doncic post... We drafted Bagley. Let’s try and move past it.

All questions will now be Centaur questions.

I like this guy

 

[miltonap]

seems bright. When I watch his videos, guy is lightning quick and has a nice feel for the game. Kind of reminds me of Ty Lawson with a better shot?

 

[Reverend]

Reminds me of Aaron Brooks.

Groan. Let’s hope not

 

[ESP47]

Yeah Aaron Brooks with better defense is a closer comparison. Ty Lawson was a much better play maker.

As far as him not signing yet, he's been a bit busy:

The Kevin Ferrell Foundation, Inc. presents 2018 Yogi Ferrell Basketball Skills Camp - Thursday, July 19, 2018 at Bluffton High

The Kevin Ferrell Foundation, Inc. presents 2018 Yogi Ferrell Basketball Skills Camp - Sunday, July 22, 2018 at Park Tudor, Indianapolis, Indiana.

The Kevin Ferrell Foundation, Inc. presents 2018 Yogi Ferrell Basketball Skills Camp. The two-day camp will be held on July 24th & 25th, 2018 at South Ripley High School.

I suspect he'll be in Sacramento tomorrow to sign the contract or after his two-day camp on Wednesday and Thursday.

 

[SacTownKid]

Groan. Let’s hope not

Brooks is a good comparison. I know the fit seems poor but having an Aarron Brooks level career isn't bad for any player.

Thanks for posting this. South Ripley High School is in Versailles, Indiana which s a neighboring town in Ripley County to Osgood, Indiana where my father was born and raised and played four years of basketball for Osgood High from 1912 to 1916. Small world. And, oh yes, I like Yogi Ferrell.

I like that he is saying that the Kings told him they are going to play fast and increase the pace.

I think that is Vlade's intention with the way the roster is built.

Let's hope Coach Joeger follows through and runs, runs, runs with this squad.

Deal is done.

Would have liked him at 3 year at that rate

I'm surprised it wasn't a straight 2 years contract.

I sure hope that 2nd year is a team option, because I think he will be a good backup point guard for many years.

I think that it is a 2 yr contract for 6.2 mil, but second year of $3,175,610 is not garenteed
So its basically a team option, but $ are guaranteed after a specific date

Exactly, according to what I've read on Twitter.

That right there is an absolute fantastic deal.

 

[Tetsujin]

Say what you will about other aspects of this regime but Ken Catanella has absolutely slain it on the contract construction front.

[Capt. Factorial]

I bet that part of it was waiting until no other team had money to spend.

"Hey there pal, which would you prefer: having to sign a dirt cheap team-friendly contract or no contract at all?"
