More attention seeking from Dave.
Either say something tangible or don't say anything at all.
Rajon Rondo is as good as signed. He will be formally introduced soon, the only reason he hasn't made the trip for a face to face visit with Vlade is because he's currently traveling.
Kings don't have the cap space to give Matthews the kind of money he wants. Outside of Stauskas, I am not sure what you can offer Portland in a S&T. Not sure Matthews wants to come here as well.

Keep hearing Matthews wants $15M. Roster experts, doesn't that pretty much put him out of reach?

Yep. Even if we stretched Landry we couldn't open up that much room.
That said, just because Matthews wants a deal starting at $15 million doesn't mean he'll get it. That's a pretty rich contract for a 3rd/4th option coming off a major injury.
I don't see why Brook Lopez can get $20 million easily while teams are hesitant to give Wes Matthews $15 mill?

Why do you keep trolling KF?Rajon Rondo is as good as signed. He will be formally introduced soon, the only reason he hasn't made the trip for a face to face visit with Vlade is because he's currently traveling.
Also Mavs, who are believed to be the leaders in Matthews' sweepstakes. Parsons, DAJ and Matthews were all hanging out together last week.A few reasons. One is that the Nets are resigning their own free agent and can exceed the cap to do so. Another is that Brooklyn is in a similar situation as Denver with Faried a few years back. Don't really want to overpay but can't afford to lose talent for nothing. It's a bad deal and a mistake IMO but they are stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Portland can exceed the cap for Matthews but every other team would have to have the cap room or do a sign-and-trade to give him a $15M contract. The Lakers have that kind of room. So does Philly. Beyond that I'm not sure.

Kosta is on the market most likely, though in theory Grizzlies can pay him as well.Adrian WojnarowskiVerified account @WojYahooNBA
Free agent forward Brandan Wright has agreed to a three-year, nearly $18M deal with the Memphis Grizzlies, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.

Apparently Dave's info is that chaos still reigns in the Kings.
It's gotta be something pretty bad. I bet before long, Vivek will exasperate Vlade into quitting.Apparently Dave's info is that chaos still reigns in the Kings.
Mike Dunleavy resigned with CHI. I was hoping he was the "under the radar" player I was hoping to come here.

Now is when I'd look southward for a Rondo offer out of nowhere.

You forgot CollisonSo apparently Kings fans haven't learned that Free Agency is the worst way to improve a basketball team.
In reverse order, non-minimum free agent signings:
Ramon Sessions
Carl Landry
Chuck Hayes
Travis Outlaw (Technically he was amnestied, but he did bid for his contract)
Mikki Moore
Shareef Abdur-Rahim
John Salmons
I would think we would be thankful we didn't just give a center on his 15th season who has missed more than 200 games in his career a 4 year 54 Million deal. (Good job Phoenix.)
You forgot Collison
Carmichael Dave is being such a drama queen on Twitter . His attention craving persona has me quite fed up at this point.
