Kings trade Richaun Holmes and 24th overall pick to Mavericks for ????
- Thread starter Tetsujin

Well, one thing is for sure, at least 2 FA's have been connected to Sac at some point, Kuz and Grant. Especially Grant. Then there's Harden depending of the strength of recent rumors that the Kings were interested in him at one point. Personally, I still think that space could be best used to trade for someone. Collins straight across for cap space has to be an option.
If you're thinking in terms of the MLE being an overpay, teams are able to split up the MLE. That would mean it would be possible to sigh Sasha to a $7M contract with the MLE and still have about $5M MLE remaining that could be used on another player. So there's not really an advantage to the Room MLE outside of the fact that you originally had actual cap space.
yeah good article. This summer is likely to be very binary. We have cap space and hopefully can sign an impact forward. If we do so it could be a missing piece.
Historically free agents don’t want to come here so Monty has that history to overcome. It’s not clear Vivek wants to spend the money.
We are going to learn a lot about this team and organizations potential to win play-off rounds the next couple weeks.

Do we know that? I don’t think we know yet…..
1) it could be the Kings cleared cap space to sign a impact free agent that costs 25M+
or
2) it could be the Kings reduced their salary structure to resign Domas and avoid going over the cap or get in the first apron
both options are possible and the organization has not stated clearly one way or the other which in itself is a small bit concerning.

Why is it concerning? It would be way more concerning if Monte tipped his hand about his free agency intentions to appease fans so that they don’t get all twisted about some theory James Ham is spinning. This is big boy basketball. We fans can wait two weeks to let things play out, without Monte disadvantaging himself by telling the world he intends to bid $35M on free agents.
If fans want to spin over a rumor James Ham started, then let them.

Until proven otherwise, my gut feeling is that Monte freed up the cap space to make a trade (and not to chase big money free agents i.e. Dramond, Grant, Zuzma) and absorb a John Collins type contract for a couple of 2nd rounders.
He fits our timeline and if he regains his form from a couple of years ago, he would be an upgrade on both defense and offense from the power forward position. If they give us back our 1st rounder (which I doubt) that would just be the cherry on top of such deal.

Have a question but couldn't find a suitable answer in the previous NBA CBA FAQ. This trade doesn't appear to be officially completed yet. Everyone assumes the Kings are now a under the cap team.
Can the Kings do either a S&T or absorb a player into the deal simultaneously and continue to operate as a over the cap team (possibly renouncing whatever combination of free agents necessary) at the same time?

It's concerning for some of them who share the same train of thought because they aren't convinced of Monte's ability still yet. (and clearly, it's not a Monte solo act, every chance he got with a hot mic he praised his staff... ) And carrying the old train of thought, people would still hate to come to Sacramento. Even though we have had a whole new regime that successfully brought us to our first Playoffs series in 17 years.
It would be concerning if I share all those worries.

Now this is interesting. He might not be the GOAT but PG has finished second in DPOY voting twice and been voted All-NBA 6 times. He just turned 33 and he's currently 14th on the All-Time 3PM leaderboard. Of all the guys in his age group, he's the one guy I'd be most willing to take a chance on because the fit would be incredible. Is he healthy enough to play a full season though?
