Sac Kings sing Matt Barnes ($12m/2yrs) and Garrett Temple ($24m/3yrs)

[Dr. Cheesesteak]

Well yeah.


Bulls got Rondo for that amount. There's been plenty of overpays too, it's not just a Kings thing.


What I'm saying is, you gotta get best player available rather than settle for scraps.


Quality over quantity they say.

Do you, like, follow off-court NBA stuff? What FAs wanna go to the Kings? Plenty have passed up more money to go elsewhere. These ARE the best players available for the Kings.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying this to bash the Kings or its fans.


Just saying that I'm tired of seeing struggling teams make the same mistake.


You have to set out a plan and stick to it. That includes not settling for ANYTHING, because that shows the stars that you have that you can properly run a team.


Potential suitors look at the Kings as plan B or C, or a team who will throw absurd money to get anyone.


That is the perception

The Kings didn't overpay, everything were short 2-3 years contracts to meet the cap floor for the next two years. Rondo no longer plays defense, so it was likely a coaching move. Not really a dropoff going to Collison, after he gets all his legal shit sorted out.

Cheese and BKF OWNING this thread right now...

[Im Still Ballin]

I wonder what's going to happen with Rudy and Koufos

The trades are going to start rolling once Durant chooses

We need a backup PG

I mean, I'm not a GM. But I can tell you it's not as easy as you think it seems to be. This isn't 2k. Kings can offer max to Conley, Biyambo, Parsons, etc. They ain't coming, dude. Beggars can't be choosers. Being uncompromising isn't always the best business model.

STARTING PG, imo...

You not sold on Darren playing this year with the domestic violence thing?

[Just2McFly]

I really wanted Barnes to stay in Memphis.

[Dr. Cheesesteak]

off-court stuff aside, I just think Kings could upgrade at the PG. King's should've got in that George Hill trade, tried trading for Dragic before Whiteside re-signed, or trade for Rubio now, etc.
