The Kings on Nocioni
Don't want to be a guy stealing info that has to be paid 4, so i'll give a small bit : "That Nocioni would accept a buyout sounds like an easy deal," he writes. "The Kings pay him a nice amount of money and Nocioni is free to play somewhere else in the NBA or play in Europe. But that might not be a road the Kings want to take with Nocioni ... [Kings president Geoff] Petrie won't give away Nocioni for nothing. Plus, the Kings aren't a big-market team. They'd be better off keeping Nocioni and getting something for his salary rather than paying him a lump some to go to another team and get nothing for him." So while the Kings are sensitive to Nocioni's desire to leave, unless they can find a team that will give them what they want in return, Nocioni may have to suck it up for another year in Sacramento.
