Is 30 enough of a cushion to get a look at Ramsey?

It’s amazing what a team can do when it has players that can pass.

Do OKC Generals have a big run left in them
Kayte was right at the half, "Go ahead and beat 'em by 40!"

Do OKC Generals have a big run left in them
We don't need to score in the fourth quarter to win this game.

The Kings are up 30. Play the whole bench.

Why?
They are basically giving young developmental G league guys experience against real NBA players and 2-3 of them they will keep. They have a legitimate chance of having 2 top 5 picks in a 5 man draft. Add Mobley and Suggs to SGA, Dort and Horford and they could be pretty decent next year.
next year when they are possibly back in the playoffs do you think anyone will care. Meanwhile, we have a great chance of finishing 10th yet again while smarter teams get top picks and then bounce back into the play-offs.

if they get Houston’s pick at 4-5 it will probably be quicker than you expect.

But not under contract for next season.
I’m assuming he will have ”restricted” status?

does anyone sometimes find Doug a tad disingenuous?

how you feeling about that bet my friend?

He felt far more disingenuous when he was pandering to Grant his first couple seasons.
He's exactly the type of bench spark plug the Kings need to hold on to.
Although in true Kangz fashion I'm sure they'll release him and then draft a player in the 2nd round that they hope will turn into Terence Davis in a few years.

They’ll spend all their Rashaun and TD money on extending Mo Harkless.
He has a $1.9M QO that I assume we will make at this point, so it's safe to say he'll be an RFA.

right the question is will they match another teams offer.

2 down one game to go....

well I figured this was the least likely game of the three for OkC to pull out give the back to back, so not much change on my end.
I won’t lose any sleep over a losing bet
Neither do the players, evidently.

All we have to do is give Davis a qualifying offer and he's a restricted free agent. He's obviously a keeper, so I wouldn't worry about losing him. McNair stole him from Toronto.

I suppose some posters might be concerned we won’t have the cash to match? I know very little about the cap so not sure how that could play out
We don't technically have to worry about not having the ability to match - we can use the MLE to match, and because TD has only two years in the league, no team can give him an offer sheet that exceeds the MLE.
Obviously the question is whether another team gives him an offer big enough we don't WANT to match, but that's a different story. Honestly I have no clue how big of an offer he'll get, and I have no clue how intent we're going to be to get him back considering right now he's probably the #5 guard on our depth chart behind Fox, Buddy, Haliburton, and Delon - and you can't say we won't end up drafting a guard!

If we keep all of Wright, TD, Mo, Metu, and Jones (some under contract a couple FA). I'm glad they are getting some time together cuz imagine a bench mob of those 5 or a hockey substitution of those 5 at the same time. If they continue to play like they did (i know we wont always play a tanking OKC) i dont see a huge drop off going from Fox, Buddy/Ty, HB, Bagley and Holmes to those 5. I doubt we will put out a team of those 10 guys next season but it's nice to imagine.
