Vet free agents and filling out the roster
- Thread starter ovrush
- Start date
Yeah there are rules to contract offers man. It's like real estate. If it's offered and accepted you have to do it. You can't just offer a huge contract to Bojan and then not make good on it. Unless you are saying you want to pay Bojan huge money?
In any case, they'll sign only one of them likely.
Bojan wants 16M per. That would bankrupt the Wiz if they did that on top of Porter. Even if only at 12M, that would cost them 24M!! That's not happening.
I expect Bojan to get 10-12M somewhere. I'd be ok if the Kings threw 3/36 at him, team option third year.

I'm in for the Otto Porter sweepstakes. If giving them either Malachi or Kosta will get it done as a sign & trade, I can live with that. But otherwise I like our roster as it is. I think we need three things:
1. Sign Lawson to a 2 year contract, with the 2nd year a team option. He needs to understand that his role is to groom Fox and Mason.
2. Make Temple our starting small forward until
Jackson is ready. Temple can play the position and will know intuitively that he's there to groom Jackson (the leader of a national champ team). If Jackson doesn't prove that he's ready (as Skal did last year), then we've got a 1st round pick one year from now to find the SF we need.
3. Use the rest of our cap space to take on a bad contract or two in exchange for a 1st round draft pick or two. If the player(s) can contribute, great. But not at the expense of our rebuild/youth movement. Any player on the Kings that is not part of our developing core either needs to be a contributor and mentor, or they need to be down at the end of the bench (or in street clothes).

Unless this is his agent looking to drum up more interest using teams with cap space as pawns (wouldn't doubt it) it looks like we might have interest in Kelly Olynyk. Not really sure why though, I mean I like him as a player but with all the bigs we have now I just don't think there are enough minutes. I read that there is a rumor in a Greek newspaper that KK wants to be traded so who knows how this all plays out. I think we should focus more on acquiring a 3 somehow. I wouldn't mind Bojan.

This would be kind of a pipe dream but if we could somehow trade Kosta plus Richardson for Crowder (or something llike that) and sign Olynyk we would have a REALLY nice future.
PG: Hill, Fox, Mason III
SG: Hield, Bogs, Temple
SF: Crowder, JJ, Temple
PF: Skal, ZBo, Olynyk, Giles
C: WCS, Olynyk, Papa
We would be really young with a ton of potential to grow as a team under DJ coaching. Wishful thinking probably though.

Well we may be looking at KK trades any way.
He allegedly asked for a trade:

They really want to Reduce Salary so trading KK and Richardson for Crowder does not help them at all
But Richardson 1.5 mil for Crowder 6.8 does save them 5 mil towards their goal and they get depth at SG. If they find another team to take Bradley?
I would pay Bradley the 8.9 mil for one year (Even if we dont need him) if it was for one of their 1st Draft Picks
But I think Celtics would want a pick, not give one up

All three of those guys have value around the league and Crowder has the most, given his performance compared to his contract and the fact that he's signed for three more seasons.
Bradley is an UFA after this season and Smart will be a RFA but I still doubt Boston gives them away for nothing more than cap relief. They'll want draft picks to add to their war chest. I'm guessing they'll ask for a future first for Crowder.

Kostas Koufos is ready for the 10th year at the NBA, but he can find him in another team. Fast Bet on Best Odds, Direct Withdrawals (21) According to gazzetta.gr, the 28-year-old has Mandate his representative, Andy Bundogiannis, to initiate proceedings so that Kings can trade him. The reason is that it is the discontent of the Greek international with the role he will have the new season in the "Kings" and will be about time Participation, as the Sacramento team intends to use Most of them Giorgos Papagiannis and Willie Colei - Stein, who are meant to be top tier by the coach, Dave Gerger. Koufos had signed a contract with Kings on July 13, 2015 for four years (3 1), with the third year being The last guarantor of his contract, while for the next there is a player option ($ 8,739,500). Now his goal is to find a team that will have a bigger role. In the season that ended, Koufos did not get excited, but he did not leave bad impressions as he had an average of 6.6 points and 5.7 rebounds.

If we're really planning to develop the youngsters under the guidance of some great mentors/vet role models, who on the Celtics do we really need (and that Ainge woould part with)? None! If KK wants to be traded so he can have a bigger role somewhere else, please don't trade him for someone who may be better than our youngster this year, but only serve to slow down the development of said youngster! And McGee isn't a replacement for KK.
