By vic Go To PostI can't believe the Pels are re-signing Omar Asik…
"maybe if we do this after a Kings trade then it will seem less bad"
By IWMTB19 Go To PostEhh, Frank over 6 first rounders is still nearly as bad as this.Both are brutal. This could be worse by the time the picks go to Philly though.
There's also still the very real possibility that they created this cap space for Rondo and the opportunity to overpay Gerald Green if they whiff on Monta and Wes.
By etiolation Go To PostHope that overseas player coming the Kings way is Saric.I think it has to, they wouldn't give up their entire frontcourt depth for nothing in return.
.... Or would they?
By etiolation Go To PostMonta is not just mediocre. Rondo is indeed a mystery. I feel Matthews will play very well. (Regardless of where he goes.)lmao
By obijkenobi Go To PostZach Lowe @ZachLowe_NBA 29s30 seconds agoisn't it supposed to be the other way around?
Sixers will receive a protected 1st-round pick from the Kings, and swap rights w/ Sacto in the 1st round of two other drafts, sources say.
WWWWWUUUUUTTTTT
lol
By Doomsayer Go To PostI think it has to, they wouldn't give up their entire frontcourt depth for nothing in return.

Only JT is depth. Landry is still injured. He won't be playing for months. He's been constantly injured and I don't expect him to play a healthy year ever again at this point.
They probably plan to play Gay at 4 often and maybe sign Koufos.

If that's karma then damn that's a lot of trolling lol.
All that plus the Kings are officially the worst front office in the league. Can't believe I'm saying that.
By pilonv1 Go To PostHoly shit 5/60 for Asik
gortat contract
These contracts have been insane. I get the cap is going up, but man that is way too much money for Asik.
Meanwhile at Lakers HQ

Nik has to be secretly about to retire and become a DJ or some shit because I don't know how to deal with semi positive sixers news.
By HasphatsAnts Go To PostIt's not Saric. And not top 10 protected. Looooooiooooooooooooooooolso they just gave up the culo
no questions asked
By Doomsayer Go To PostThese contracts have been insane. I get the cap is going up, but man that is way too much money for Asik.we have $37m total in contracts for the 2016 season.

Pretty sure it's at least top 10 protected.
Jae Crowder has reportedly agreed to a five-year, $35 million deal with the Celtics.
Crowder was essentially a cast-off with the Mavericks but his solid play for Boston earned him a massive pay-raise to $7 million per season over a long-term contract. It could be a solid value for the Celts if Crowder develops into a DeMarre Carroll-type talent, locking down defensively while steadily improving his FG shooting (41.4 percent) and 3-point shooting (31.6 percent). It's an interesting gamble for GM Danny Ainge and Boston's front office – other than signing veteran PF Amir Johnson in free agency, they appear content to develop from within this season.
wow nice.
By jjasper Go To PostSo Steph Curry's contract over the next two years is easily the biggest bargain in all of sports. And while I have no evidence to back this up I am going to claim it is one of the biggest bargains in history.
that's a bit hyperbolic... he is the 40th or so highest paid player but the difference between 40 and 1 isn't that much
it's not like the KG Shaq era.
there was a time when MJ was the 6th highest player making 3 mil and Buck Williams was the 2nd highest paid making 5.05
Which is the difference between 40th highest paid player now and the first

Brad Turner @BA_TurnerWas Kobe there tho.
Lakers were "somewhat underwhelming" in presentation with DeAndre Jordan, sources. DJ felt Lakers had been on "whirlwind" last 24 hours.
By etiolation Go To PostPretty sure it's at least top 10 protected.
Ah. So at least a modicum of dignity.
By vic Go To PostWas Kobe there tho.
"you can be my dwight howard"
By vic Go To PostWas Kobe there tho.Mitch: "DJ, see all those jerseys of great laker legends of past? Well, i want yours up there with them when you retire from the nba."
*slight awkward pause*
*crickets chirping inside the facility*
DJ: "is that it?"
Mitch: "Yeah, that's it. I got nothing else."

The Kings only assets at this point are the starting lineup from last year and WCS. They don't have the full rights to any of their future picks for many years.
I want to laugh at other teams, but I have no idea what's gonna happen to the Mavs. If Deandre says no we are gonna suck so much ass. Max Lin here we go!
By vic Go To PostWas Kobe there tho.
with you on the team I could 50 times and you could average 20 boards!

He's down 0-1 of course
Rumors now that the Kings might be a dumping place for Bledsoe's contract if the Suns get LMA.
Don't believe it at this point though.
So much of this salary dump is hypothetical in return.

I like Asik, but the Pelicans just spent $45-60 million on a guy that will never play in the postseason for them after spending $20 million on Ajinca (who will never play in the postseason for them).
By etiolation Go To Postaka the Pellies could have just gone after Koufos and been better off.Yes.
The Lakers had general manager Mitch Kupchak and coach Byron Scott at the meeting with DeAndre Jordan, but Kobe Bryant and the Buss family was not there.#BlameKupchak
The Lakers had the whole crew in their meeting with LaMarcus Aldridge, so apparently they don't need to impress Jordan quite as much. Whatever the case may be, the Lakers are not having a big offseason so far. They also deleted their #LAtoLA tweets with Adam Levine, so there's that.
How is it possible that the Kings can be this tortured under two different owners and a multitude of different GMs?
It's relentless. Just nonstop clownfuckery.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Kings plan if they get Matthews is to have him at the 3 with Gay at the 4.
Staring lineup would be Collison/Rondo, Mcelmore, Matthews, Gay, and Cousins. WCS off the bench.
