Keith McLeod to Sacramento?

Hey everyone,
This is a Kings' fan from across the globe.. Athens, Greece. For more than a month, one the of the Greek teams here -Olympiacos- is searching for an NBA Point Guard. They were close to signing Pargo, but he rejected the offer although it was financially better than the ones he got in the NBA. After failing to sign him, Olympiacos is now after Keith McLeod.

To my surprise today, I read in a Greek newspaper that the negotiations were broken down again because of the Sacramento Kings!

I have a blog myself in Greek about the NBA so I'm reading the news everyday, but still I haven't found anything about McLeod to the Kings. So I thought this was a good chance to make a first diary post over here.

Anyways, the article says that Olympiacos is offering 1.3 million $ "clean" per year  to McLeod , meaning that he'll get the whole amount with no taxes involved. At the last moment however, "the Kings stepped in and McLeod put Olympiacos on hold and his manager asked for some more days to think about it".

As it's been said before, I still don't understand why we need another backup PG like McLeod or Wilks since Shakur/Jeter aren't much worse and of course Salmons/Douby/Garcia can also play the point for some minutes.

All I can hope for right now is for an unexpected checkmate move by Petrie or at least for O.J. Mayo. PS. It's probably all Greek to you, but here's the link anyway http://www.sport-fm.gr/news.jsp?newsID=95261

Re: Keith McLeod to Sacramento?
This does not make a whole lot of sense to me, This offseason has been strange.

This offseason has been strange.

You'd think if Wilks had impressed, he'd be signed by now. I'd hate to see Petrie get in an international bidding war for a 8-min guy.

It's not the size of your minutes but how you use them....this off season is a joke.
We are slipping into the NBA abyss.

Re: Keith McLeod to Sacramento?
Any thoughts on the Kings making a move on Dee Brown? Looks like he won't be in Utah next year.

Re: Keith McLeod to Sacramento?
plus he's a road runner out there.
I'm still completely confused by his inability to get in the paint consistently. He's got all needed tools - he's superquick with the ball and also possesses nice ballhandling skills.

Re: Keith McLeod to Sacramento?
Is he still hurt? Didn't he sprain his neck last year and give everyone a real scare?

Re: Keith McLeod to Sacramento?
This thing is getting funny. I keep reading the same rumours about the Kings, the Celtics and Olympiacos.  All three teams want a PG, the same PGs actually, the ones who are free right now. The NBA teams obviously need them as backups, and Olympiacos needs a new starter.

So today the newspaper says "Olympiacos has put Dee Brown on hold in case McLeod rejects the offer and goes to the Kings". Troy Hudson is also on the list.
