Marcus Thornton Signs with Kings 4 Years 31 million

[UK_King]

Marcus Thornton's agent, Tony Dutt, acknowledges snag in deal with Kings, but says "will get something done."

wonder what this "snag" is.

 

[kingsnation]

You know it's about time we just get something irrefutably good done.

wonder what this "snag" is.

Maloof's pooling their credit cards. I think the JC Penney one still has $600 on it.

OK. I want whoever thought that was funny to say it was a joke. And then sit in the corner for the rest of the day. This will be a confusing day without someone deliberately creating confusion. I am encouraged that Petrie did not sit back and wait for the market value to be set and be passive about it. Player's egos might not be something we all should worry about but Marcus has to feel good about the aggressiveness of the Kings. It is also ironic that as a second rounder, he has come out ahead of all those picked in the first round.

The thornton signing being blocked by the NBA office was me..and was funny *to me at least* in light of yesterdays happenings.

The part about there being a snag in the deal is real, not made up. Fortunately looks like it won't hold up Thornton returning.

well at least we got the teams best player signed. not a bad price for a smart 20-4-4 guy

 

[PurpleHaze]

That seems like harsh sentence to me. Is it federal or state prison?

Whoa: @sam_amick
.

Source says Marcus Thornton deal with Kings is done, but is now four years. Still waiting on a $ number.

 

[Kingster]

This. For some reason I would have been more pissed off about losing Thornton than losing Sammy D.

Probably because Thornton is a better player...

4 Years 33 mil. I guess thats better depending on how you look at it.

Mod can change the title

 

[UK_King]

Double post sorry!

Good news though.

 

[nebs]

33 mil just sounds better than 40 mil, even though it's actually more per year with the 33 mil deal.

 

[Dime Dropper]

Great news. Big contract but he'll put the work in.



From his twitter, Marcus is extremely happy:

Just dropped a couple tears really feels like I'm dreaming right now mannnn GOD is good

 

[Warhawk]

Thread title edited to reflect 4 years and $33 million agreement.

 

[Hallama]

Four years is great!

 

[iowamcnabb]

Love it even more. Big fan of the 4 year deals

 

[sidney]

I'm moving past Marcus Thornton after this, but source close to Kings says this is the deal: four years, $31 million.

Well, by the time this night is over we may have just signed Marcus Thornton for free. Deal keeps getting better.

By the way .. Jason Jones? where art thou?

 

[Warhawk]

lol, now 4 years/ 31M per amick

OK, edited again!

 

[Bricklayer]

Great news. Big contract but he'll put the work in.



From his twitter, Marcus is extremely happy:

Good good. There were some problems with he and Reke trying to mesh late last season, and they aren't going to have much camp tpo get it together (tip for Thronton, Reke attacks the hoops, his natural passes are to guys in his line of vision in a cone from the angle out to each corner. If you are behind him on the wings he's not going to see you and hit you). But in any longeterm sense this is key.

Having he and Hayes around for toughness can maybe give us a boost.

 

[Glenn]

OK, edited again!

Keep yourself available.

The main thread is still in the Personnel Moves forum (although it's probably official enough to come here now):

[rainmaker]

She backed him into a corner. He can't back up any farther. Poor Marcus. Bet she'll ask him to take off his shirt in a few minutes.
