Who would you leave off the Roster?

[Jkbiker]

Ok it is way to early for this, but wondering who we would put on inactive list if total players reach 15 this year.

Assumptions: We resign Bonzi and we sign Admundson and Justin Williams.

Definite roster guys:

pg: Bibby,
sg: Bonzi,Martin
sf: Artest, Garcia
pf: KT, Shareef
C: Brad


Up for grabs:
pg: Douby,Hart, Price
C: Justin Williams, Potypenko
pf: Admunson
sf: Corliss

My choice to leave off:

Hart - after 5-6 years just doesnt seem he can get any better
was touted as a defensive pg ( I sure never saw it)
Corliss - Just doesnt seem to have it anymore, great veteran
leadership, but lets face it his last contract was 2 years too
long
Potypenko - big body, has a few scoring moves, but not that
impressive

There is still a lot of time for these three to battle for their roster spots, and the three rookies will have to shine in summer league and pre-season. Think there will be 3 way battle for pg , and Admundson,Justin and Poty battle for back up bigs.

So guys which three do you leave off the roster?

If this is our roster going into the season I will be real disappointed

 

[Kings113]

Well, that's ridiculous. There's still almost 3 months left in the off-season.

Word.

 

[BibityBobtyBoom]

you can't just sign nobody in the offseason

 

[Kings113]

There's still back-up bigs (which we need a back-up center, for sure) and trades.

 

[CruzDude]

And you forgot Monia who is under contract for one more year (?).

 

[Kings113]

No, he went back to Europe. Or has already decided that, but just hasn't left.

Regardless, he's going back to Europe.

 

[VF21]

Monia has, I think, actually left. He hadn't left when Petrie made the comment but that was a while back.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Monia has left the building...

 

[chaps]

Nooooo, not Monia...

we're doomed

 

[Fresno King]

We don't owe Monia any $$$ do we?

 

[kennadog]

I'm too lazy to go look it up right now, but I'm quite certain that while he has an overseas contract, we don't owe him a dime.

EDIT: To allow him to play overseas, it looks like we have to waive him. Then what we owe him is offset by his new contract? REading the CBA Q&As gives me a headache.

Am I missing something??? I know the CBA allows you to throw away 1 contract. How do you just "leave off" 3 players who have contracts with us?

Anywhoo........its way way to early for this discussion and like others pointed out I would also be dissapointed if thats our roster.

I know I am not the only one thats got to be scared of Phx once Amare gets back to his former form.

I won't. This is a decent team, and realistically, the Kings aren't going to be championship contenders next year. I'd rather the team stood pat and waited for the right deal to come along then to force bad moves in an attempt to cotend now. The exception to this would be to pawn Miller off for a promising young big man that can play interior D. But where this phantom big might be, I have no idea.

To answer the original question in this thread: I would leave Hart of the roster. With us drafting Douby, and obviously seeing something in Price, I don't think there is any room for Jason on this squad.

 

[Kings113]

People are overreacting because we haven't done a trade or signed an FA yet... Petrie does most of his work through trades, and later in July and on. He doesn't dive in and panic.
