OFFICIAL Free Agent Tracking Thread (MERGED)

As an aside, Nikoloz Tskitishvili is apparently determined to stay in the NBA, and claims that there are 6 teams interested in signing him. Wonder if one of them could be us? Seemed a logical candidate for us for several years now, although we never picked him up when he was imminently availbale from Denver. Doubt he would command much money. Certainly not helping any problems we have, but another Darkoesque flop picked very high (5th overall), susposed to be the next Dirk etc., and has done absolutley nothing in the NBA. 7'0" 4/3 with a nice stroke (in theory). Would not be shocked if we had at least considered him to fill out the roster with.
Kings should sign Reggie Evans, and re-sign Mo Evans. Here is how the starting five would look:
Bibby
Mo
Peja
Reggie
Brad
Reggie brings toughness, defense, and rebounding. Sure, he isn't much on offense, but there is plenty of it on the roster and starting five already.
Mo is more obvious. He has been in the system for a year, and surely in working on his game is his mid-range game, and probably ball-handling. He has little oppurtunity to start else where, Bobcats/Rockets, but that is very slim. Whenever he started or filled in (Mobley/Peja/DC) he made the most of it. Also showed many times his three pointer can be consistent. Yeah he could go to the spurs, but he'd be making less money, and be behind Ginobili on the bench. I think the Kings have the best chance to sign him out of the 3 or 4 other teams his agent said are interested. It'd go along with the Kings aspirations of adding and improving the teams defense and back-court.
How many players can be on the active roster/suited up?

Okay, before the maximum was 15 and the minimum was 11. The maximum on the active list was 12. Now the minimum is 14. Is 15 still the maximum? Is 12 still the maximum on the active list? Or do you have 14 active and 1 or more inactive?
Gads, I'm confused
I guess I should wait till the lawyers are done.

From what I understand, they're going to have 14 active players and allowance for certain number of "inactive" players... I don't know if the maximum will still be 15 or not.
My guess would be if the minimum is going to be 14, the maximum would have to be more than 15 or why bother?
Guess that's just one more thing we'll find out on or after July 22, when the agreement is actually finalized.

I think your right, will have to wait to see. Not that it matters, that deep on the bench doesn't play.
It is funny how the same information (I think?) was interpeted in different ways. I had took the 14 minimum as having no effect on the 12 man active roster. I figured that it would remain the same, but each team would have to have at least two on the inactive roster. I was also thinking the only other major change other than the minimum was the elimination of the 5-game rule.
But the way both you (VF21) and Kings113 stated it makes more sense in terms of teams being able to send players with two or fewer years to the minors.
It will also be interesting how the minimum wagers will apply to the luxery tax.

They both would be at their respective positions.
I mean SAR is a good player, but rebounding and shot blocking aren't his strengths. Maybe defense too. Plus it would mean they couldn't keep Mo, I think. Who I'd rather have, and hope the Kings do too, because Maurice brings what the kings have said they want/need to add. I haven't read much, if any interest in Swift by the Kings. Must want to keep Mo~
Reggie isn't really a shot blocker, but he brings a lot of what the Kings need. Skinner and Brad and possibly Ostertag if he's still here can block shots, and another player maybe if they get someone who can do that.

Min 13 max 15
Then new CBA apparently says a minimum of 13 and maximum of 15 including both active and inactive PLUS the 1 or 2 that can be sent to the NBDL.
Martin and Evans at this point would compete for the starting 2 with Cisco backing up both the 2 and 3 for awhile.
Reggie would be nice pickup but is he a starter for us? Why not look at Stephen Hunter who is really a 4 and can backup the 5?

Nikoloz Tskitishvili is going to the Wolves off of a 25 and 10 summer elague performance I guess. Could mean nothing at all if he continues to be a non-entity, but one of those moves that makes you a little nervous just because of the seemingly untapped potential lurking there. God help our midgets if the Wolves dug up a 7'1" Dirkesque running mate to go with 7'1" KG.
According to RealGM, a Cleveland TV station is reporting a S&T between the Cavs and the Clippers. Marko Jaric and possibly Chris Wilcox to the Cavs for Drew Gooden.
Wow, Jaric, Hughes, LeBron, Donyell, Big Z? Not bad at all.
At the same time, I'm not sure if I believe this. I know the Clippers aren't exactly known for acting rationally, but why would they make this trade??
