Yes we can close games going small and Luc guarding the opposing scorer.
And yet there's not a whisper of anything definitive by anyone not named Jason Jones. Things that make you go hmmmmmm...

I'm going hmmm now with you. So what are you thinking?

Yeah I just thought that was funny because if we really had the experience they claimed we had with him then he wouldn't be back here.
I'm thinking that Jones may have jumped the gun. It's quite possible he wasn't paying close attention to Luc's response since, IIRC, Mbah a Moute does have quite an accent.

I think we're signing LRMAM just to prevent Clay Thompson from ever scoring on us again. I loved the Prince of Cameroon when he played for us in the past. He used to put the clamps on everyone.

Kinda flew under the radar, but spoke to Luc Mbah a Moute about returning to the Kings - he's thrilled to be back and healthy.

I think they have to do the signings in a particular order right now to make the money fit right. Same reason we didn't see Caron signing a contract today.
I'm curious if Luc is another vet min that needs to wait, what are we planning on doing with the big chunk. Not sure we have the roster space to split it which would mean one guy at 4-5M. Only so many guys left on the market that demand that kind of money. Josh Smith, JR Smith, maybe Seraphim. Anyone else? Could also take on a traded player with the space.

Not too often to get a chance to reverse a mistake like this,....but here we are.
Another culture glue move. Man this has been something to behold. We are now the darkhorse that can do damage
It boggles the mind...especially when you think of what last year looked like.
I LOVE THIS TEAM!!
I'm worried that we don't have reliable backup bigman. WCS is just a rookie, Moreland didn't show he can play in nba yet.
We really do need sixthman kind of big who can take care of our offense or defense.
J-Smith would be great, but still worried to have Rondo,Smith,Cousins in same team. Either you have best season in 10 years or disaster breakdown.
I'm prefectly fine with either Landry or Thompson back on our team..They would fill up our bench perfectly.

This is more good news. Luc played well for us the first time, I'm happy to have him back. I don't know where he fits in the rotation exactly, but when George Karl looks down the bench now looking for a defensive stopper he'll have a pretty good one there ready to go. That's an important piece that every winning team needs. So all that's left now is a veteran PF to provide some insurance for Moreland and Cauley-Stein's rookie season growing pains. We've come a heck of a long way in just a couple of weeks!

I think Capt. Fact. has explained a few times that trade exceptions pop into existence when you compelte an unequal trade and then don't use the resulting cap room, so they are a placeholder of sorts. Since we immediately turned around and used the caproom, the trade exception went away when we filled up the cap room we had gained.

Mbah A Moute finished 18th of 81 in qualified PF's for DefRTG (shout to Bobby Gerould for the stat). That's a good vet signing. Of course, he's very injury prone, but he'll be just 29 when camp opens. He's still theoretically in his prime, if he can stay reasonably healthy. If's If's If's.
A no brainer at the veterans minimum, honestly. I'd wouldn't expect him to be part of the rotation when camp opens, but he'd be the 'next guy up', and due to his versatility, could fill multiple roles depending on goes down.
PG - Rondo, Collison, Stockton
SG - McLemore, Belinelli, Anderson
SF - Gay, Casspi, Butler
PF - Cousins, Mbah A Moute, Moreland
C - Koufos, Cauley-Stein
That's how I see this thing shaking out right now. A lot of versatility, so the depth chart will never perfectly indicate minutes played. I think Koufos, WCS, Cousins, Gay, Casspi, McLemore, Belinelli, Rondo, and Collison will make up the top-9, and be regular rotation players. If the Kings play 10 guys, Butler and LRMAM will probably swap that role throughout the season. We'll see if Moreland and / or Stockton stick.
