Amick: Gooden agrees to buyout from Kings, is waived
The Kings should save a small amount of scratch. I wonder if the Team Store will allow me to return my lightly worn Kings #90.

well
That’s good. More PT for the youngns. Unfortunately, likely much more small ball.
Donte? Donte'! Donté?!?!

yeah. But if smallball is gonna be a regular occurence with the Kings...
the players might as well learn how to do it well.
There can only be one Noce!
Drew
I always liked Drew as a player. This makes me wonder what GP has in mind for this summer,,,,,We still need another big man.
I agree

Petrie gets it
Good player, bad timing. We need young players and roster filler until we get better and have a wad of cash.

I know it's for the best
But it sure was nice watching someone in a Kings uniform make a double/double look really freakin’ easy.
Rocks are free, and slingshots easily stolen.
Probably around 2 mill
I could see Gooden taking 5 mill and being happy. Decent investment for the Kings. We save money on Drew and we don’t have to worry about Geoff giving him an MLE in the offseason! Oh wait, he’s a free agent anyway…
...
Isn’t it remaining games x salary/game = total savings?
Actually...
Players & Teams can “negotiate” a buyout amount less than what is actually owed. The problem is that NBA contracts are guaranteed, so players usually have little reason to take much of a discount, because they really don’t have to.
In a case like this, he could give up a couple mil, and get a shot at showcasing himself in the playoffs* . . . which could in turn make him more money on his next contract. It’s a win-win.
*As long as he got picked up before the Playoff Roster deadline.
Which he will smg
He was waived by the deadline which means he has a chance to be eligible for the deadline to be on a playoff roster.

But in fact
He had to be waived by 12 eastern (umm some time pacific) to be elgiible for a playoff roster.

Or did he have to be on a new roster to be eligible by that time?

Lttg's right
And on both counts. It really doesn’t matter when he’s signed but it matters when he’s waived.
Man I was so relieved when I checked the Bee’s blog to see if there was any news. And, lo & behold, there was.

It's interesting
Because the article says that the Kings saved about $2 million. There’s about 1/4 of the season left and Gooden makes $7.1 million this year. If the article is correct, Gooden essentially waived the entire remainder of his salary for this season.
He’ll sign somewhere else for the NBA minimum and make a little bit of cash. Playing in the playoffs should benefit him in the long-term. It’s just interesting that he apparently waived all of his guaranteed money for the rest of the year.
I’m sure this makes the Kings happy, as this pays the $2 million Mikki Moore is guaranteed next season.
Mikki's 2009 salary
Can someone clear this up for me? I am assuming that since the Celtics signed MM, the 2 million we would have owed him for next year is null. Can a player be paid by two teams for the same season? Or was the 2 million the buyout cost?
Wait....Why is everybody clapping? Everyone around me is clapping.... I guess I should be clapping too... GO LAKERS!!! I hate living in So Cal

Ask Dallas about that
They were paying Michael Finley about $15 million per while Finley was draining ’em for San Antonio – and yes, he had a separate contract with the Spurs for a few million more.
SACTOWN ROYALTY - Try our thick creamy shakes!
For a contract to be transferred to the new team.
the player must be pick up in the 48hrs after he is put on waivers. Since the Celtics didn’t pick up MM until he had already cleared waivers, the Kings are still responseable the MM’s contract. They pay him for the remainder of this year, and the buyout for next yr. Then Moore is allowed to make another deal with the Celtics for the remainder of this year. He’s a double dipper.
"If you don't have anything good to say, LIE" - Mom
It's complicated...
Moore had a team option which I believe is handled differently than a standard contract buy-out. The Kings do get relief for part of his 2008-09 contract but it is very complicated.
The Michael Finley deal is different, there was a one time offer by the league to pay 1 single player, waive him and regain his salary spot. Several players – Finley, Allan Houston, Aaron McKie were part of this deal when the league and players signed the new CBA. Again, it was a one time offer a few years back and isn’t a possibility now.
I liked Gooden but I don’t want the Kings to win down the stretch because some dude is trying to pad his stats going into free-agency.

So Miller and Salmons were jettisoned for what?
Nocioni and McCants? Seems we could have done better.
McCants is an ending contract
They were jettisoned for Nocioni and cap space. I think the Kings should have swapped Houston’s 1st round pick with Chicago’s, but that apparently wasn’t on the table.
THAT SUCKS
DREW GOODEN IS EASILY ONE OF THE TOP 10 PFS IN THE LEAGUE AND WE LET HIM WALK AWAY. WHO CARES WHAT GP HAS IN PLANS THAT WAS A STUPID MISTAKE.
Forwards that I would rather have than Drew Gooden
Duncan, Dirk, Bosh, Gasol, Boozer, KG, Amare, Jamison, Villanueva, Millsap, Aldridge, West. That’s a dozen off the top of my head, not including newcomers like JT or Kevin Love, or combo kits like Scola/Landry.
I respect that he is in your top ten. For me, he is an average guy putting up average numbers. Certainly not our future. Just my opinion.

The deadline was just if you waive someone by March 1st, then they’ll be able to play for someone in the playoffs. The actual signing date is later. So we can still go grab a few key vets for our late run :P

Not Yelling typing from work
Anyways wasnt yelling have to type stuff in caps at work so it just stays that way. You mean 14 and 10 isnt a top caliber player? Hmmmm what are you comparing that 2 considering we have thompson putting up 12 and 7. Yeah good but we need someone to produce guys. I dont know what everything thinks gp is going to be able to do with the money after all no one wants to play here. I love the kings I fought to keep them in Sac and was at the capital years ago doing so but we havent done anything in the past 4 years to better this team.

Well, for most of those 4 years
The team was trying to rebuild on the fly, with the remnant parts of the C-Webb contract still preventing wholesale rebuilding. The Maloofs have even admitted they waited too long. But I don’t get the complaining about what the team is doing now – they are clearing out bodies and salary to put themselves in position to rebuild around the young frontcourt and Kevin Martin.
Honestly, I’m getting tired of the idiotic “nobody wants to play here” meme that’s going around. If you have money to spend, someone will want to play here. If you trade for a topline guy, he may be disgruntled at first, but he won’t have a choice but to play here.
One or two bad years of attendance does not erase the fact that this team still has one of the best General Managers in the business, owners who want to win, and a passionate fanbase that will turn out if the product (and ecomony) improve a bit.
HELP ME TOM CRUISE!
hmmm
Wont have a choice not to play here…..is drew still here…..people always have a choice wether to accept the money and then high caliber players like Marbury in New York you mean to tell me he didnt have a choice not to play…..
Players dont want to come to Sac period. Its not a good thing I admit it like I said I love the kings but its the honest truth. No amount of money will make a good player want to play for an terrible team and thats what GP has put together here right now.
That's idiotic
No amount of money will make a good player want to play for an terrible team
Someone better tell Baron Davis. Or Elton Brand. Hell, those are just two from last season.
In regards to Drew Gooden, he doesn’t exactly fit the bill of a “topline guy” does he? An expiring guy who’s been on multiple teams in his young career isn’t exactly the big free agent signing we are all looking for.
HELP ME TOM CRUISE!
I don't want to argue with you
But Elton Brand went to a team that made the 1st round last season.

Fair enough
Philly’s not exactly “terrible”, but their recent history is not much better than the Kings (outside of this season). And it would be hard to deny that Brand (who by all accounts is allegedly a great guy), went to Philly in a money grab.
And WTF?? You don’t want to argue with me? You feeling all right??? :)

I’m kind of feeling the same way myself. I’m damn glad it’s baseball season – we are going to be hashing out the same arguments ad nauseum here until “draft (lottery)/free agency-trade season/new coach” time for the team.
That’s a couple months of SSDD. We may all be drinking heavily before it’s over.

I got school
A paper to re-write, another quarter to attend before the draft even happens, and then, all of summer to only work my 40 hour a week job. In other words, I could live without the Kings for the next 6 months. The fact that I don’t proves one thing: I’m really crazy.

not saying that...
Your not listening I am not saying hes “the” guy I am saying we cant get any guy. Baron Davis and Elton Brand had other motives besides just money to go where they did. Everyone keeps talking about the kings did this to save money the kings did that to save money. But save money for “what”. No one has an answer to that because there isnt one.
We can't get any guy?? How in the world can you predict that?
When was the last time the Kings had the kind of money necessary to acquire a top-level free agent?
One question – just to make this easy. Are you saying that the Kings could offer more money to a free agent, or to retain a upper echelon player they make a trade for – and that player wouldn’t stay because it’s the Kings?
You do realize that we still have a GM who has continued success in the league right? And that we will likely have a shot at an impact player in the draft? And that this franchise isn’t completely devoid of young talent? This season is an outlier for the Petrie era.
All things being equal (read: money) between two franchises – I would agree with your premise. If the Lakers or Knicks or Bulls are offering a similar contract – sure, we would probably lose out. But IMO 99% of professional athletes are always going to take the offer with the most money. I don’t care if it’s Sacramento, Atlanta, Utah or otherwise.
Regardless, I don’t think we are going to sign an impact free agent long term unless it’s a guy we trade for first.

On a different note: Greg Oden
I think I won (or was close) on the over/under on how long it would be before Greg Oden went down again.
I said 25 games – I think it was at about the 30 game mark into the season. Hmmmm
Kfan and I were close in our guesses I think.
anyway, not worth a fanpost or anything, just sayin’ dude looks to be injury prone (to say the least) so far.

And OKC is damn fun to watch.

Portland is fun to watch too...
But I don’t feel sorry for them either. I think Oden or not, they’ll be just fine for the next several years. Buttloads of talent on that team.
Another good thing about seeing Gooden play
He really showed how lacking we are at this position. Top ten or not, he just stepped in and schooled our pf armada. How long has it been (seriously) since we’ve seen this position owned? Williamson, Weber? Sheesh!
You try you fly; you don't you wont. . .
Oh yes Corliss "schooled" the NBA @ PF
Are you kidding? (I like Corliss and everything. I’m not dissing the guy. Just to be clear) Corliss was too short and didn’t rebound enough to “school” the NBA @ PF. Gooden grabbing a double double in one single game doesn’t prove a whole lot IMO.

Corliss
Hey warm and fuzzy, I didnt say he schooled the NBA, I said he owned the position. Definitely not pushed around-size or no size. I seem to recall a lot of notoreity coming Corliss’ way. Well maybe more with Detroit but he was dominant in the very same way we currently are not.
You try you fly; you don't you wont. . .
I agree to a point
it was interesting to see a truly competant PF out there for one game. He may only BE competant – but we hadn’t had that in a while.

Gooden and Brad
Very comparable to Brad Miller statistically. In fact, career wise Brad is better in terms of PER. They are both in the 15-16 range now.
We didn’t need Brad Miller, although he was better than our young bigs. And we didn’t need Drew Gooden for the same reasons.
Those kids are going to get better in the next couple of years, and Miller and Gooden are going to decline.
We need to build around young players, add cheap role players for now and create some cap space to sign someone much better than Gooden when we are ready to be relevant again.
Having the Drew Goodens of the world around just delays the process. If we keep throwing $6 million a year at every mediocre player who is a slight upgrade from what we have, we’re going to be stuck in a pit of mediocrity for a long, long time. Let it go.

I followed you, until you mentioned that Gooden is ready to decline.
Isn’t he 27 or 28? What makes you think he’s on the decline at this point in his career?
27 or 28 is usually a player's peak
after the peak, is the decline.

For one
The injuries.
Gooden is a steady player. Unfortunately we’ve had a bunch of guys for the past few years that we’ve labeled things like efficient, decent, solid, etc. That’s great in your supporting cast, but we are starting those kind of guys. The downtrending talent level finally caught up with us.
You need role players, but you also need stars, and those have been in short supply here lately. MOr eof the same isn;t going to get it done. It’s time to go on a Drew Gooden diet.
