Denver's shown no inclination to match $14M per offer, and Iguodala wasn't ready to tell the Kings 'Yes," sources tell Y! So, Kings bailed.

Good, glad we weren't cause that's ridiculous. He can come back here for the cool 9M a year tho
 
Iggy/Gallo: The West Coast Lebron/Wade

You can't break them up

Kings wanted answer that Iguodala wasn't ready to give, so they pulled out and moved on. They'll regroup & decide on Tyreke Evans etc.

Ouch.

I'm on record on here saying Iggy wouldn't get $10 mill per year if he opted out.

And now this ***** is about to get $14M a season. What the ****.

Keep hope alive
 
You absolutely have to overpay in Sacramento and New Orleans, but this shouldn't be the way you do it... Neither of them is to this point yet.

Bingo.

You don't overpay first, you draft better and stop ******g up.

Draft better pieces for 3-4 years, develop the hell out of them, hold the leverage and slowly the wins rise and you can pay them more than others. Stop redundant drafting, or reaching or taking Jimmers in the top 10 and you'll be much better, more flexible etc.

ZERO excuse for New Orleans to be over paying right now. None.
Same for Sac, Orld, Philly, Detroit, etc.

Jazz/Houston much closer to start increasing their spending.

Unreal this is still happening. GM's are so God damn stupid. :smh:

I hope everyone remembers thinking "good job, Sacramento" when they overpay for someone else in 3 days.

Tyreke 11 million a year, here we come.

Or they trade for Rudy :rofl:

I guess I kinda see what SAC is doing. If Iggy says Yes to Detroit then Reke to NO then rebuilding becomes tanking. But yeah either way something is wrong. They just want to start the new franchise off right. I can't be too mad at them :lol:

The only problem is sports fans and owners want to win now. They don't want to build a contending team through the draft, it takes too long and those few years of horrible play will cost the owners money. They want a playoff caliber team as soon as possible and thats why you see teams overpaying stars who they think are the missing piece to their run at the chip. Sad but true.
 
At least the Hornets' spending is on a pair of 23-year-olds, not a 29-year-old defender.

And they don't have a pick to tank for now, so I guess I get it in a way.

Ding Ding Ding!

I know we all like to play armchair GM but you got to remember this isn't our money they are playing with. And for the most part yall here are loyal fans but I know a lot of yall know more people who aren't gonna pay $50 for nosebleeds to see your home team wheel out scrubs with the excuse of "Building through the draft, not overpaying" which to the consumer sounds like being cheap even if it is the right move.

They HAD Noel. Davis + Noel + next year 1st rd pick was in their grasp. They had that, and gave TWO of those things away.

That hurts, a lot.

they cant go thru another yr of losing. eric gordon's knee probably acting up if they kept noel. there's no gurantee what kind of player noel is even going to be. you take your chances with jrue and tyreke since that is less riskier than another losing season, if they are mediocre they are late lottery, and if they are in full tank mode, dont know how fans will feel about it.

kings should try and get greivas if they can

Scott, Corn, I hear you guys, but its 2013. Takes 11 seconds to find out from smart folks Treke Evans 48 mil is bad business.

This isn't 1992. People are smarter than ever. Info is easily available. Any fanbase that wants those type players "to make a run" should lose their team.

3-4 years of solid drafting >>>>>>>>>>>>>Reke/Iggy/Rudy type contracts crippling you THOSE SAME 3-4 years!!!!
 
Why not let Tyreke walk? He's really not taking them anywhere. It's all on the Rook and DMC.





#FreeJimmer
 
I mean, I think it was a mistake to make that trade, no question. But since they have, I don't know. What's it really matter to spend on bringing in Holliday's $40 million and give Evans as much? At least you still have major upside there.

But they could have just as easily drafted a point guard of the future at six if that's what the plan was, kept next year's pick and still signed Evans.

Who knows, man. They ****** up awhile ago by re-signing Gordon, anyway.

One thing I will say is that I'm not anywhere near ready to compare Evans' deal to those Gay/Iguodala types.

He's 23, and it's $11 million per. Iguodala just almost got $14 million at 29. Gay was around 23, but he got $16 million.

some of these coaches and gms wont be around for 3-4 yrs. fans arent trying to wait that long. imagine laker fans going through 3-4 of rebuilding through the draft. :lol: the kings been trying to build through the draft for yrs now. their last big free agent signings were probably chuck hayes and marcus thornton.
