StR Community Free Agent Board 2010
by Tom Ziller on Jun 29, 2010 5:36 AM PDT
in Free Agency/Trades
Email
PrintIt's a bit of a late start, but let's get after it. Just as we collectively rank draft prospects, let's collectively rank the Kings' free agent options.
Since free agency is right around the corner, we'll cut a corner here and do three prospects at once. And as soon as one option has a huge lead, we'll move on ... so if you want to participate fully you may need to check in a couple times a day this week.
Vote for your preferred option keeping in mind the Kings' current roster and situation. Assume that the team can only afford one big-name free agent and won't be doing a sign-and-trade. For this particular vote, you are voting for which order of preference you'd put these players in ... not for the team to land all three.

I'm going with LeBron -> Wade -> Bosh
Before this draft it would’ve been LeBron → Bosh → Wade but I think the Kings got a potential franchise big in Cousins, so might as well go for added guard depth in Wade before adding another big. LeBron goes first, because even though he’s brash and cocky, he is the most talented player in the NBA, and by himself he would turn Sacramento around.
In reality, none of these three will come to Sacramento other than when their team has a game scheduled here. I suspect this Free Agency board will not get really heated until we get past the big names.

I started out by wondering if I shouldn't consider Bosh first, as the KIngs are desperate for big men.
Then I remembered the draft…LBJ Wade Bosh for me.
I too had this reaction
and actually voted LeBron —> Bosh -→ Wade, forgetting we now have a stable of big men.
Let us usher in the era of Reke DMC!
if this
if this poll can land lebron then i’m all for it.

Funny
I don’t see him on the board for this particular vote. Way to stay focused SMills!
"Matt Cain's better at this than I've ever been at anything in my life. He's better at this than you'll ever be, at anything. Matt Cain has a gift. He has a gift, and when you acknowledge that, then maybe we will have something to talk about."
I don't think Reddick qualifies as a "big-name" free agent
I assume “other” means Amare, Joe Johnson.
"Matt Cain's better at this than I've ever been at anything in my life. He's better at this than you'll ever be, at anything. Matt Cain has a gift. He has a gift, and when you acknowledge that, then maybe we will have something to talk about."
Perhaps
But the poll doesn’t specify “big-name”as a requirement.
Redick would be one of the top three agents that I would sign for the Kings. Someone who fills a need, fits into the team, does not disrupt chemistry and the development of the youngsters and doesn’t screw up our cap space for ages to come.

I took the question as
“Putting reality aside, which of the Free Agents is your top choice if you could sign any of them”.
In other words, voting “other” means that if Petrie had LeBron, Wade, Bosh, and Reddick in his office, all ready and eager to sign a contract, you would hope that Petrie would hand JJ the pen and tell the other guys to piss off.

And why is that, Otis?
I explained my point here above when I identified Redick as a FA I would like to get.
I want someone who fills a need, fits into the team, does not disrupt chemistry and the development of the youngsters and doesn’t screw up our cap space for ages to come. I prefer building a contender with patience to buying a group of mercenaries in an effort to win it all. Or letting the team get highjacked by a basketball phenom/attention junkie.
If Lebron, Wade and Bosh/Boozer/Amare/whoever team up, I will hope passionately that they fail just like the 2004 Fakers.
That may be old-fashioned, idealistic and romantic or whatever you want to call it, but is it wrong? Tell me why, please.
Dunking Dutchman
Why is that?
I just disagree, that’s all.
You may be “old-fashioned, idealistic and romantic”, but I don’t know why you think Redick isn’t going to try to get the very best situation for himself, whether that’s money, years or a certain fit with certain players. Which is exactly what the “big” free agents are attempting to do.
The only difference between a guy like JJ Redick, and LeBron James, D-Wade or whomever is opportunity and talent.
And the reason I think it’s wrong is because superstars tend to win titles in this league. Having a LeBron or D-Wade surrounded by even decent players puts you in contention every year. JJ Redick is a nice player, but he’s not ultimately getting you anywhere without a ton more help.
So saying “no thanks” to LeBron so you can get JJ Redick instead is laughable (again, solely in my opinion).
"Matt Cain's better at this than I've ever been at anything in my life. He's better at this than you'll ever be, at anything. Matt Cain has a gift. He has a gift, and when you acknowledge that, then maybe we will have something to talk about."
So we are talking about the most improbable situation
of getting Lebron and Wayde, but proposing that Redick might come is ludicrous? Yeah, that sounds logical.
So ultimately, if the premise is really that a contender can be bought instead of built, why the hell are we watching the draft and summer league basketball and rooting for our guys at the end of the bench. discussing all these little things ad nauseum?
What do you prefer, the building of a contender a la Portland, OKC or the dismantling of a team in order to buy a new one a la Knicks?
And where do you draw the line at identifying what your own team is? If the league decided to mix it up and we get the whole Fakers roster in Kings uniforms, and our guys are sent off to play at Staples in purple and gold, who would you root for?
I’m not literally spurning Lebron for JJ Redick. I’m talking about principles and the love of the sport. I’m talking about the journey instead of the destination. But I guess that is difficult to sell in today’s materialistic and instant-gratification society. Principles have limited upside, so to speak.
Dunking Dutchman
Improbable has nothing to do with it Rik
We are talking in hypotheticals. Remember, you responded yes to this query from AnotherStupidSN:
In other words, voting "other" means that if Petrie had LeBron, Wade, Bosh, and Reddick in his office, all ready and eager to sign a contract, you would hope that Petrie would hand JJ the pen and tell the other guys to piss off.
That’s the genesis of our discussion.
If you are talking reality, then yes – we are not going to sign LeBron James or Dwyane Wade. JJ Redick is a different kind of signing – he’s a piece of the overall puzzle and may well be the right play for the Kings front office.
I guess what I object to the most is you ascribing romantic notations to JJ Redick’s pursuit of a new team while vilifying the high end free agents. In my mind, there’s really no difference in what these players are trying to achieve, we are just talking about different levels of talent.
I get that there are many ways to build a roster. But every team in the NBA is subject to the same CBA rules. I don’t get the idea of applying “principles” to the conversation. You have a salary cap, you have draft picks, you have free agents, and you build a roster within those confines.
If the Kings could sign LeBron James right now, that’s not satisfying a “materialistic and instant-gratification society”. It might just be the best way to make your team a championship contender.
"Matt Cain's better at this than I've ever been at anything in my life. He's better at this than you'll ever be, at anything. Matt Cain has a gift. He has a gift, and when you acknowledge that, then maybe we will have something to talk about."
If we are talking in hypotheticals
why do you argue that Redick won’t come to the Kings, when the premise is that bigger FA will?
You do not answer and sidestep my questions.
Redick does have nothing to do with my romantic notations, he just serves as an example for what I’m stating. Look back at the posts and show me where I hinted that Redick might have such a view.
Perhaps signing James might just be the best way to make your team a championship contender, but it is not the only way, not a sure-fire way, and not the way that I prefer.
So please tell me again. Why am I wrong?
Dunking Dutchman
You are talking in circles
I’m not sidestepping anything Rik.
You wrote that if all the big free agents plus Redick were in a room, you would sign Redick, and asked if there was anything wrong with that?
And I said “Yep” and added “IMO”.
Again, IT’S JUST MY OPINION, BUT I BELIEVE YOU ARE WRONG BECAUSE I THINK ADDING A LEBRON/WADE TYPE PLAYER IS A BETTER PATH TO A CHAMPIONSHIP THAN ADDING JJ REDICK.
Sorry for the all-caps, I just wanted to make sure I was clear here and not causing any additional confusion.
We disagree, I think you’re wrong, you think I’m wrong. Nobody will ever know who’s right because LeBron/Wade/Bosh aren’t coming here. But there’s a decent enough chance JJ Redick could come here, so we might get to see if your theory holds any water.
The stuff I heartily disagree with is you ascribing some type of nobility to a franchise that builds a whole group of role players around one or two very good players while a team adding a LeBron is mercenary or somehow lacking in morality.
There are no principals or nobility (or lack thereof) involved here – it’s just teams trying to improve their teams in different ways. To demean one method of building a roster as “materialistic and instant-gratification” is ludicrous IMO.
"Matt Cain's better at this than I've ever been at anything in my life. He's better at this than you'll ever be, at anything. Matt Cain has a gift. He has a gift, and when you acknowledge that, then maybe we will have something to talk about."
Yeah
we are starting to talk in circles now.
For me there are principles involved, even though I know that for most people there aren’t. That’s fine, and I understand part of the arguments.
I enjoyed the discussion, nonetheless. But maybe we should sign off here

"Vote for your preferred option keeping in mind the Kings' current roster and situation."
So far 34% for
Lebron-Bosh-Wade
and 48% for
Lebron-Wade-Bosh
Im surprised at the 34% considering we just got a lot more depth in our front court and we still want bosh? I’m quiet content with what we have and excited to see what we can do.
I voted for Lebron Wade Bosh, but I actually thought Wade-Lebron-Bosh would be more important than Lebron-Bosh-Wade.
I wouldn’t even include Bosh.
"So your a Yank? Thats ok, were all just people. People are all the same. But we like Canadians better." - Guy at the grocery store. "wow"
I have to Pook myself
Bosh would be the absolute best pairing with DMC and is the best big man in the league right now. Please explain how Bosh makes the Kings worse? I am just dumbfounded really.
Passing on Chris Bosh, the nerve!!!
I guess it doesn't make sense to me
Why go out and get Sammy D, and draft Whiteside/Cousins if were looking to add CB4? May aswell trade Beno for Gortat while we’re at it
I get that were talking hypothetically . So would CB4 make this team better? Of course it would. But I just followed what the title suggested.

"So your a Yank? Thats ok, were all just people. People are all the same. But we like Canadians better." - Guy at the grocery store. "wow"
Wade-Bosh-LeBron
But really you could go any way on this.
I know Wade seems similar to Tyreke in a lot of ways, but Wade has also developed into a pretty good shooter. Wade is a little older than Bosh or LeBron, but I want him to be the leader of this team. To mentor Tyreke, to teach these guys what it means to be a consummate professional. To tell them what it takes to win a championship, to tell them what it takes to win a gold medal. And how the hell does any team plan a defense to stop Wade and Tyreke from penetrating, while still trying to stop Cousins? Yikes.
I don’t understand the sudden backlash against Bosh. We have Dalembert for one year. Cousins is a rookie. We’ve also got JT and Landry. Please explain to me how Bosh doesn’t fit in? Let Dalembert expire for cap space or trade him at the deadline for another piece. Cousins can come into his own, Landry and JT fill out the rotation. Look, I love Brockman, but not so much that I pass on Bosh so that Brockman doesn’t lose his roster spot. If you don’t want to pair one of the best big men in the game with DeMarcus Cousins for the foreseeable future, there’s a link missing in your logic chain.
And then of course there’s LeBron. I’d love to have him on the team. Personally I think it would be a disaster, but for a player of LeBron’s caliber you’d roll the dice. I don’t think any of these guys are coming to Sacramento, but I think LeBron is the least likely. That’s why I put him last.
Never forget: I am a complete idiot
"likeliness" shouldn't factor in here
This is dream scenario voting. Like having Wall at the top of the draft board, even though there was no way he’d be available at #5.

My #1 choice wold be..
LeBron>LeBron>LeBron
I am not a big Bosh fan, his will be a max contract that some team will be dying to get out from under in a few years and we have a lot of experience with that type of scenario, and I struggle to see Wade and Tyreke sharing a backcourt.
We need a simple things (always the hardest to find though it seems), rebounds, defense and 3 pt. spot up shooting. Build around the superstar we have.
If a super star wants to sign with you, you MAKE room for him.
Doesn’t matter his position.
If you land Chris Bosh, then voila! DeMarcus Cousins is suddenly a center! If you get Dwyane Wade, then Tyreke becomes “iaPG”!
I mean, granted, this stuff is all a pipe dream (as are the hopes of this roster winning 40+ games before 2015), but I’m just saying…
"Where hope goes to die"
Really? 2015?
Thanks, I always like to start my day with a laugh.
Never forget: I am a complete idiot
If the Kings don't win 40+ by 2015 I will officially quit being a fan.

Be careful with such concrete statements
Injuries, trades, management turmoil all do happen. I’m just sayin’ you never know. Wouldn’t want to lose you to GSoM.
I'm so confident the Kings will win 40+ by 2015 that I'd bet my fanhood on it any day
You’d have to have the worst injury run in the history of the NBA not too with a group this young and talented. Not getting 40+ means Geoff would have had to whiff in the lottery 4 straight years.

"Where hope goes to die"
Wade>Bosh>LeBron
Wade is a champion (the only one of the bunch) who never would have pulled a LeBron if put in LeBrons situation last playoffs. Question mark is his duriblity/ability ot pair with Tyreke.
Bosh would give us flexibility to move our stockpile of bigs for veteran/spark plug players to back up Reke or provide us a proven stud SF. Tyreke/Cuz/Bosh sounds nasty nasty nasty! Question mark is his lack of ever going deep into the playoffs.
LeBron puts up the numbers, fills the seats, creates for his teammates, but ultimately is such a big force that no matter how many assists he gets it will always be LeBron and the others (unless the “others” are Bosh and Wade, but this asks if we could select ONE of these guys)…and a “LeBron and the others” team will never win a championship, otherwise they would have already, a few times. Tyreke/LeBron/Cuz is nasty nasty nasty as well but it becomes all about LeBron and I don’t smell a title like I do with the other two players. Question mark is whether or not the Kings would be a “team” anymore…and only “teams” win titles. Also his unexcusable no show when it mattered in the playoffs this past year is a big question mark as well
I actually agree with this.
Wade dominated the NBA finals in a unbelievable way, and has done much with a pretty much crap filled roster. My only problem is I don’t see how him and Tyreke co-exist. I guess its a similiar situation to Washington with Arenas and Wall. The player I see in Tyreke the most is Wade, so dunno.
I actually think Bosh and Joe Johnson might be the best fit for our team.
Sometimes you just have to look yourself in the mirror and say....Tyreke Evans.
That just happened.
I went with
Lebron, Wade, Bosh
Come on, if you could land Lebron, Kings = ridiculously good. Next, assuming the plan is to keep Tyreke a PG, you go after a 2. Wade is at the top of the 2 heap, with only Kobe, Roy and Durant (none of whom are FA’s any longer.) I’d take Bosh still, but you’d have to do something about that log-jam before the season started.
But then I started thinking, what the Kings really need is Joe Johnson. Pretty much solidifies the whole team by being able to fill the 1, 2 and 3 if necessary, but mainly brings the one thing we’re lacking – a deadly outside shot. I’d say we’d be looking at the bottom of the playoff bracket if we got JJ, at least on the bubble, wouldn’t you think…?

went with the other.
I do not see any of those free agents coming here. Perhaps I am being more realistic than I should be. We need a shooting guard. I want Joe Johnson.
by noreboundsnorings on Jun 29, 2010 8:54 AM PDT reply actions
i'm with you on this one
JJ sounds like he wants to go to the Bulls or Knicks but if he doesn’t get the full court press from those teams maybe he could be persuaded to another young team. for Reke to reach his full potential – I really think you need a guy in the backcourt that is going to draw some attention.
beno works well with him but teams are never going to plan their schemes around stopping beno – they are always going to focus on reke. bringing in JJ would force teams to pay attention to him – opening up the floor for reke and taking pressure of Omri/Donte to have to create their own shots too
1 Year Deals Only - no big signing
Build a sustainable team/product. Be very careful with contracts, at least until after the new agreement.
Let our guys play. Everyone on this team needs as many minutes as possible. I am still, personally, hoping that JT is that PF of the future. He needs minutes to keep his confidence. Maybe Landry could take the role he had back in Houston of dominating off the bench.
Either Donte or Casspi needs to turn himself into a starter. The one thing I see as a pretty big hole right now is a shooter. Hopefully Cisco finds his stroke. Hopefully Donte and Casspi refine their shooting. But we could probably use another PG.
In conclusion, I hope they find a cheap back-up PG who can shoot 3’s. That’s it. Other than that, grab a few undrafted guys and give them 1 year deals. Scottie Reynolds, John Sheyer maybe?
Well my guess is you'll get your wish Keon as Nate Robinson has been linked to the
Kings for what feels like years now. He would essentially become Bobby Jackson version 2.0, adding explosive scoring off the bench plus he shot a decent 3 point percentage.
It will be interesting to see if we go after any of the third tier free agents as Petrie has also been a fan of David Lee for awhile now as well. However, if you pay Lee you are pretty much telling Landry to walk as they are similar players. You also will have to overpay for players this year due to the amount of cap space all these teams have, hopefully we sign a shooter and thats it. Save our money for more certain times like when the new CBA is instituted and everyone is cheaper.
There now I've met the 75 word count. -pookeyguru
Not exactly Nate Rob
Nate Rob isn’t exactly what I was thinking. I understand the draw as he is very entertaining and will help put fans in the stands. But I was thinking someone that can actually facilitate a bit as well. It wouldn’t be the end of the world if Nate Rob got signed, but it totally depends on the type of deal he gets. I really hope they don’t overpay for him, or sign him for too long. He would be good for a year or two, but as Boston showed, he’s not part of a championship contender.
I agree that Petrie probably likes David Lee, but I think our front court is set for next year. Especially since Donte can step in an play big in a pinch. 5-6 bigs is plenty. The only one who may not be ready to contribute yet is Whiteside.
I don’t see obtaining Lee as telling Landry to walk. Landry came off the bench in Houston, he’ll probably be content to do it here too. Also, I don’t really see them as the same sort of player, either. Based solely on numbers, and minor observation, it would seem to me that Lee is a better offensive player. It would be hard to convince me that his numbers are any more inflated because he was on the Knicks than Landry’s are here – neither team had a good record.

You have to go after LeBron first
Simply because he’s the best player in the league. He’s an automatic ticket to the playoffs.
I think Wade would fit better with the players on our team, though, and unless we traded off a big man or three, there’s no point to going after Bosh.

Bosh is exactly what this team needs
The Kings are hoing that they can mirror his production with some combination of our bigs, but this may or may not be realized. Bosh is the best big in the game, so why would you not want him? Bosh is gauranteed while our bunch only has potential. Chris Bosh makes this team a championship contender for years to come. Probably more so than LeBron or Wade. Certainly more than Wade as we have our own mini-Wade in Tyreke.
I hate to do the comparison but…
Bynum = DMC
Gasol = Bosh
Artest = Omri/Donte
Kobe = Evans
Fisher = Beno
Odom = Landry/JT
Plus we have Dalembert, and Cisco, and maybe even Whiteside (if he can produce).
Wih Bosh the Kings would be the 2012 CHAMPIONS.
Book it!
Bosh has made the playoffs twice in the leastern conference and has never been out of the 1st round; I think Wade is the best fit out of all of them
b/c he’s a good defender and slasher
I'm about 93% sure that Marion did Marijuana, the other 7% is probably weed.
Name the second best player on Toronto's team
I’ll take Wade, don’t get me wrong, but big men win titles.
Ask LeBron how much luck he’s had with little to no frontcourt help.
You know that is my point of counter arguement, I'll definetly agree with you, but he still plays in the shitty east where a losing record can get you to the playoffs (possibly)
I’m just saying that bosh hasn’t done enough to lead his team to victory; booozer’s an injured mofo (he’s averaged 59 games the past six season) and amar’e cant play a lick of defense if his life and money depended on it; none of these guys are worth max contracts. Wade isn’y such a terrific shooter imo; the player that is worth a max contract is either ’bron or ’melo

When they were the Champs
Shaq was a shadow of his former self but still in the running for best big in the league. The current Heat roster…ummm….. pass.
My response was to the ridiculous assumption that since Bosh never advanced beyond the first round in the playoffs that CB was somehow deficient. His teams have really not been good.
If you hate to do it,
Then for god’s sake, don’t do it. You compared Cuz to Bynum, and I just don’t want to see that. Ever. And that’s to say nothing of how the rest of the comparisons just don’t add up (other than position-wise.) Please, just don’t. Do that. Ever again….

Um, hello you're missing Booxer and Amar'e! jeez, the nerve of some guys, lol
from this list I’d rank it Lebron, Wade, and Bosh
I'm about 93% sure that Marion did Marijuana, the other 7% is probably weed.
Anyone have an estimate as to when these guys might sign?
Lebron loves the attention, so I expect him to wait until just about the last minute to let the world move on, but does anyone have any input into when that might be? The suspense\disgust is killing me.

about looking to sign Raja Bell…..he is tough, great three point shooter, defense…
he has said he wants to go to a contender

None of those 3 are coming here. Of the 3? I’m not really sure I want guys who are 25 26 & 28 years old for an average of a roster that was 25 years & change last year and has only gotten younger this season.

Joe Johnson would be the best fit for our current roster
But, if you are gonna pay someone 20 mil a year, it may as well be Dwayne Wade or Lebron.
So, following your specific instructions.
For this particular vote, you are voting for which order of preference you’d put these players in … not for the team to land all three.
We first go for Lebron. He would play SF and would be stellar with Tyreke in the back court and Cuz in the front court. This is the sort of dynasty he seeks and it would immediately put us in contention.
Second, I would have to say Wade because we just have too much depth up front and some real talent there. Bosh would have been second, but not after getting Sam D, Cuz, and Upside. Plus, I think that a combination of Wade and Evans would be absolutely brutal for other teams to match up against.
Bosh, the guy that was probably my first pick a few weeks ago drops to third. Just not as needed, but still an upgrade.
