Cap experts , does adding another expiring give us enough room for a max deal for next summer ?
So Keeping K-9 and adding Larry Hughes give us enough room for a max deal ?

Tell Lebron James he will own half of the palms with a private jet to get to where ever he wants to go after the games 
I believe the value of the contract is based on how long the player has been in the league and what the salary cap actually is for next season, so the answer would technically be "it depends". I don't know what our payroll is supposed to look like next season after all these moves. I'm not sure how our potential draft picks would fit into the picture, either.

Don't forget the unlimited Jimboy's tacos - but I'd worry a little bit about him suffering from weight fluctuations Baron Davis style for the entire length of the contract.
Projected payroll for 2010-11 pre-trade: $41.3 million
(according to Hoopshype.com, not including draft picks)
Salaries out (2010-11 season)
Martin - $11.1 million
Rodriguez - $2.8 million
Armstrong - $3.8 million
Total - $17.7 million
Salaries in (2010-11 season)
Landry - $3 million (team option)
Dorsey - $1 million (team option)
Projected payroll for 2010-11 post-trade: $27.6 million
Reports are that the salary cap will drop next season to between $50-54 million. That should give us $22-26 million, before draft picks, in cap space for next season, which should be enough for at least one max contract player.

Would that make him King of the Kings?Tell Lebron James he will own half of the palms with a private jet to get to where ever he wants to go after the games

The two second tier guys would make sense if we're trying to build around 'Reke. The one overpaid all-star only makes sense if its a big. Signing Joe Johnson does almost nothing for us since he's kind of a 'Reke type player.

Barring another trade, we won't be signing anyone. Not with the Maloofs losing money hand over fist, and not with a lockout coming.

Too bad the Kings aren't getting a player worth 22 mil to come here.

Max contract is 25% of the cap. Cap is projected to be 50-53.
If 50, max is 12.5 mil and kings will have roughly 11.1 mil free. If kings need the extra cash, they can choose to not pick up Dorsey and trade the second round pick (or whatever the minimum salary player is you have listed) which frees up 1.3 mil and gets us to roughly 12.4, close to 12.5.
If 53, max is 13.25 and kings will have 14 mil free.
So yes, Kings can sign a max free agent if the situation arises.
EDIT: I just read the Larry Coontz thing again, apparently max salaries are not strictly 25% but done on some other formula that seems complicated, but apparently they work out to roughly 25% base year and increase thereafter- can someone verify this? Anyways, going off the 25% number, it's at least in the realm of possibility that the Kings sign a big name FA.

There is a good handful of 2nd tier free agents available that would be of great value to us as well. Should be interesting who/what we get...plus our lottery pick. We should be pretty strong going into next season.

I'd like to know if we're buying out/releasing Hughes too? I dont see him as a part of this team in any way.
Might as well. He's not going to add anything to the team, and his contract expires this year anyway.

I'd prefer that, just so PW doesn't get some weird temptation to actually play him.

That's what I'm thinking! We really need to be thinking maybe 2 years down the line for where this team is going to be- add this young crew plus 1 top-5 talent from the draft and possibly a FA or another pick, and we should be in great shape going forward.
