Damn I like Marcus but 40 is too much.

 

[Deleted member 38182]

I agree its too much, same with Hayes..... But in all fairness, those two would have gotten those contracts from someone else.

So the fact that the Kings were willing to overpay means in a very slight way, the Maloofs were trying to spend this off season.

They were definitely competitive with Hayes, beating out Kahn and the Rockets. And with Thornton, I am sure someone would have offered him the same contract

So all in all, not very exciting signings whatsoever, but in a minor way the Kings were minor players in the FA market. Not bad.

Oh and

As for Marcus Thornton's reported 5-yr, $40 million to Sacramento, one source says "not accurate" and another says there has been a "snag."

 

[nicedudewithnicedreams]

Thornton's contract is fair and dare I say "cheap." $8 million a year for his production is adequate. The question now is if he can maintain that same production with a healthy Tyreke next to him. For reference, Kevin Martin (dude he got traded for pretty much) got a 5 year $55 million deal after his rookie deal. 

 

[mister916]

Both are fair imo

Kings renounce rights to Dalembert meaning max deal he can get with the Kings is 4 years. Tweeted by Cranell and Jason Jones. 

 

[Deleted member 38182]

Expound on what renouncing his rights mean???

Does it make him a UFA??? Cuz I thought he already was.....

 

[mister916]

By renouncing a player, a team gives up its right to use the Larry Bird, Early Bird, or Non-Bird exceptions (see question number 19) to re-sign that player. A renounced player no longer counts toward team salary, so teams use renouncement to gain additional cap room. After renouncing a player, the team is still permitted to re-sign that player, but must either have enough cap room to fit the salary, or sign the player using the Minimum Salary exception. The exception to this is an Early Bird free agent who is coming off the second season of his rookie scale contract. Such players, when renounced, are treated as Non-Bird free agents.

Ah alright, I was thinking it had something to do with Bird rights. Makes sense

 

[mister916]

Thornton deal finalized. 4 years/33 mil.

 

[Deleted member 38182]

or 31 mil

 

[mister916]

Someone needs to get the facts straight.

But 31 would be nicer .

@jimmerfredette Signed the deal today so I'm finally an NBA basketball player now! Excited to be apart of the kings organization!

Dalembert on Sacramento: "I understand teams have to do things for financial reasons. They can still make me an offer.’’
What's the point?

 

[Deleted member 38182]

I wonder who this big name the Kings are in talks with that Napear keeps talking about.... sounds close.

my guess is AK47...............

 

[mister916]

That would be pretty cool.

@OfficialMT23
Marcus Thornton
Just dropped a couple tears really feels like I’m dreaming right now mannnn GOD is good

@OfficialMT23
Marcus Thornton
And o yea to all the SAC TOWN fans I’m baaacccckkkk

 

[mister916]

So much speculation. I bet it's AK-47, though.

 

[Deleted member 38182]

Thats what I'm thinking too.

No other player really makes much sense.

Heck AK47 doesn't really even make that much sense

but I'll take it.

Hope this means we are getting rid of a Garcia or Salmons

 

[Deleted member 38182]

Reading Carmichael Dave's tweets I'm pretty sure we are signing Kirilenko

 

[mister916]

News10Sean Sean Cunningham
For what it’s worth, traded email w/ Andrei Kirilenko’s agent on him signing with the Kings, he said: “Not True. Where do u get this stuff?â€

 

[Deleted member 38182]

[mco85]
