I wouldn’t mind have Mo Bamba as a rebounder shot blocker on the team. Lakers just waived him

Here is the FA to backup Sabonis,provide rebounding, shot blocking, and was just waived so he wont break the bank
i love Lyles, but if small ball wont work due to other teams backup C, then here is the depth at C we need
He might be better than Queta

How many places is Mo Bamba going to play in where he gives zero effort despite having all the tools, he's WCS but probably more talented the guy has played with zero heart his entire career. Unless he does a Hassan Whiteside and becomes good for a couple seasons I rather give the time to someone else.

Re-signing Barnes... giving up the #24 pick... not tapping up Herb Jones to push for a trade... and now if they don't even make a proper offer to Herb... then AFAIC, this off-season will have been a return to Kangzing things up.

Herb Jones team option declined by the Pelicans, making him a RFA.
I wonder if the Kings can swoop in with a big money offer to steal him away from NOP? The max NOP can offer him is 4 years/$53.3 mil, the Kings have cap space to go over that amount. If the Kings go big with a (i.e. 4 year/ $64 mil) offer, could he bite?

Zubac certainly has size and only 26. I like his numbers enough but is he a good compliment center for the Kings?
I’m not interested in Landale. His assault accusations while in year 12 makes me think best pass.

Wow, I commented on the Bruce Brown overpay without first seeing what Jerami Grant got to stay in Portland.
Holy moley Jim Bob Boley as Jerry would say. I was thinking the Kings might offer him like $25 million.
I’ve usually considered the Blazers a good franchise, or atleast not an outwardly bad one..but their inability to see that the time to trade Dame was a year a half ago(around the time they traded CJ) and now paying Grant like he’s some superbeast. I think they might be BLAYZARZ

I hadn’t heard about that. Seemed like a good teammate when playing for Saint Marys. He’d be a good backup for Sabonis.

The suns preferred Drew Eubanks over Landale.. Makes sense..
I am soooooooooooooo sad, inconsolable, that the Suns were able to sign Keita Bates-Diop for 2 years 5 mil... man..

After seeing the numbers - I’m done with rolling it back. Good job Monte.
Last year was fun. We are adding two more 3pt shooters. Lyles as a small ball center is intriguing. If Davion takes another step - the season could get really interesting. I still feel like we need one player to stir up the pot on defense and be a vocal leader.

If the Kings are looking for a back up C, Bojan Dubljevic just left Valancia after 11 years, he's 31 can pass on the same level as Sabonis while being a elite shooter and just lights out from the top of the key. He's a 6'9 250+ C Montenegrin the question is would he come to the NBA (draft rights I think Portland or NYK has) and could he defend in the NBA. He's got some nasty in him as well and is not above the dropping the hammer if you upset him.
He's imo been the most underrated C in the Europe for ages plays like a less talented Jokic/Kevin Love hybrid in a lot of ways.

I don't see the Queta interest. His reaction time for rebounding and loose balls isn't going to get any better. Keon Ellis does make sense.

I have to think we are done no? lyles takes the back up 5 minutes, Sasha takes the back up 4 and Duarte/Kessler take the back up 3

see if they make an offer to 1 of the restricted wings.
I think we probably go get Landale or someone in that vein, give Domas the raise and extend him and call it a day.
We technically still have ammo to go make a good offer to someone if we want. Just doesn't seem like we will though

personally I’d rather give Queta the 3rd center spot. We’ve spend 2 years developing him otherwise I don’t really see the point of keeping him around. 3 year college player with 2 years in the pros should be enough to win the 3rd center gig. We can always go bargain shopping at the deadline if it doesn’t work out or have Len on speed dial if he doesn’t land somewhere
I keep hearing about renegotiating Domas' contract, but kind of like Kuzma is that all just outside noise? Does Domas want to do that at this point?
Just curious....but you might be right.
And FA just started yesterday. I think they are holding on to the cap space in case any trades or great deals pop up that they can benefit from. Things like the Dame situation can create moments of opportunity if you are prepared. We'll see!
Well it seems we still have $13 million to spend ($18M per Bobby Marks but i dont think he included the duarte pick up) , soooo... I think throw it at Christian Wood or PJW and if that doesnt work split it between another back up Center with a big body (plumlee, len, gabriel, Dwight howard, etc) and a deep bench PG (Cojo, Ish Smith George Hill).
Agreed. I also hope we don't go get anyone because that means Trey at small-ball 5 is a full go. Which, is almost like getting another player because I think he's going to play even better at that slot than he did at the 4.
I wouldn't say no to us absorbing Zubac though. He's probably the one pure back-up C that i'd be excited about.

They are keeping 8-10 back to renegotiate and extend Domas.
Then they can do the same for Monk, given they could increase his salary to $12M then using early bird next year could go up to $21M/yr to resign him.
Monk's contract is not eligible for extension because it was for only two seasons.

So if we assume...
- Sabonis received a $7.7 mil raise this year
- Barnes' contract has 8% raises
- Sasha's contract is the room exception
- Lyles contract will be signed last (maintaining his $3.4 mil cap hold)
- Len's contract is a minimum deal
