Kings waive TD
- Thread starter Tetsujin
- Start date
There was no chance he was going to break camp.
The question here is whether this is:
A) Opening up a roster spot or clearing a tiny bit of salary for an upcoming trade
B) Dumping a possible salary-match piece because no trades will happen
C) Dumping a possible salary-match piece because the trades that are lined up don't need this piece
D) Doing a dude a favor because somebody else is legitimately interested in his coming to camp

I loved TD’s fight, but he is a known quantity, with quite frankly, a ceiling that hovers at deep bench player in NBA or starter in G league. The only way for the Kings to move forward at this point is to try to prospect as much raw talent as possible to see who might be a bargain moving forward. They’re frankly is too much salary tied up in guys that they can’t move or don’t want to move on from. I’d like to see the remaining roster filled out with young undrafted players or euro players trying to break into the league to see what might emerge.

Good thought, but there is only one available roster slot. Here is an article with three possibilities, one of whom is a known power forward, Precious Achiuwa. At only 25 years old, he is probably a better defender than Drew Eubanks:

Only the Kings could ruin what would be a very strong 4 man guard rotation (Keon, LaVine, Monk, Carter) with their 2 biggest offseason additions being ball.fominant guards

Yeah, I get that if nothing changes that’s what we’re at. I’m still hopeful. Some trade can be made that will open roster spots because I sort of see this year as unless the team can use it for building. I just don’t think the pieces we’ve got work well together as last season seemed to illustrate.

Something will happen. At least something minor. Expect Kessler Edwards level not starter type, unfortunately.

Awesome getting another guard.
A non-guaranteed training camp contract. Chill.

But why cut him then take him back
...because it's training camp? We didn't actually bring him back officially. Did I mention it's a non-guaranteed contract given only for training camp? I'll be as incredulous as you if he's on the roster to start the year, but I feel like Allen Iverson right now...
Seemed like a great time for a sarcastic response and it was chill…….sooooo…..
Maybe because some of us are actually perturbed at the lack of roster balance yet again. Frustration is already here. Not happy as of yet. Perry has been underwhelming in what he’s done so far. Are we in a gap year which usually means building with some youth but we are potentially an older team than last year. Criticism is warranted until it’s not
no I mean I get that...but this isn't something worth getting perturbed about. It's training camp. Again, if it was an actual signing, I'd be right there with you. This isn't perturbing in any sense. Be perturbed at things that matter. Unlike I'm apparently doing right now!
Sarcasm is inherently not chill ssssoooooooooo......
Well, let's see. We had the option of paying him about $2.5M this year...or paying him nothing. We paid him nothing. Then we gave him an Exhibit 10 deal so we have the right to send him to Stockton at a G-League salary, which is significantly less than $2.5M.
It is in my book compared to ranting
