Anthony Tolliver to the Kings, two years, $16 million, I'm told. $2 million guaranteed in the 2nd season.

Another solid signing, imo. Nothing spectacular and not team changing, but it DOES address some needs (shooting, PF/SF).

I honestly have REALLY liked Vlade's eyes for FA steals. Let's face it, Koufos and Belinelli were good signings last off-season AT THE TIME. This off-season, Afflalo and Tollive are also really solid. Address needs, are cheap, etc.

Also, both are just for 2 seasons... Kings expected to have like $80m in cap space in 2018 lol. But why? No major FA will come to Sac, Vlade! Unless he plans to throw the max at a buncha mid-tier type players... :(

edit:
yes, his trades suck so far, we know. But we'll see how the 3 rookies this season pan out. So far, Vlade does seem to have a sensible idea on good FA choices and some draft picks.
