Big Name Alert

PrintIn case you've missed the discussion in the comment threads or on Twitter, Grant Napear has said on today's show on 1140 The Fan that the Kings are talking about big-name player fans will be excited about, with news of a deal possibly coming on Saturday. It's not an All-Star level player, but Napear has been adamant that it's a "big name" and that it's not a guard.
The mystery of this player's identity continues ...
(Napear usually does not speculate or drop hints without reason.)

AK47 would be my wish.
If it is Peja, I will strangle Peaches.
To summarize some of what he said
1. It isn’t a guard,
2. Kings aren’t afraid to spend big money on him,
3. Sounds like a “free agent” and not a trade: “Kings are talking to him”
I think he said something about “If you can get a player who is better than the ones you have now, why not?” So I’m assuming he is starting quality.
Also said could sign by tomorrow from what others have said (correct me if wrong)
So clearly not a player who might be amnestied.
Correct
He said “As soon as tomorrow”, so I’m assuming it is a legitimate free agent, not an amnesty player.
It's like we're playing a weird game of "Guess Who" with Grant
Has anyone asked if it’s a boy or a girl yet? That usually narrows down the options.

If it were an amnesty player, they wouldn't have to talk to them
You simply file your bid with the league and if your the high bidder, he has to come play for you.

and now you are offering more than any of the other teams for his services. If he’s unhappy with you, maybe he should go play overseas. Yea, it would be a nice courtesy, but if he didn’t want to be here, I don’t think I would change my decision.
After all Weber didn’t want to be here either, and that turned out pretty well.

Not like we aren't used to watching a team turn it over
This team hasn’t exactly lit the world on fire with its’ passing the last few years.
"For five decades (and counting), these fans have been blessed with West, Baylor, Wilt, Kareem, Magic, Shaq and Kobe. Seven of the 15 best players ever. At some point, the gravy train will end. The Lakers will bottom out like the Knicks did last decade, submarined by bad moves, poor signings and unlucky drafts. Their fans will flee in droves. Jack will pass away. The buzz will be gone. That's how the NBA works -- in a 30-team league, you can't always get lucky, not even if you're a big-market team with deep pockets. I don't know if that day is three years off or 30, but it's coming." Bill Simmons

Gotta Be: David West
I agree with the above speculation…And, it would be a good, hopefully value signing with him coming off of an injury……and hopefully that would mean we package JT/Salmons or JT/Garcia in a deal for back-court or SF depth.
My dream list:
1.) Marc Gasol (not officially signed yet)
2.) NeNe (neither is he…..despite rumors)
3.) David West (value sign, coming off of injury/would make us nasty up front)
4.) AK47 (would fill the SF need perfectly)
5.) DeAndre Jordan (would be awesome front court depth, and again, would hopefully usher the trade of a combo of JT and PTBNL)
6.) Jeff Green (eh)
7.) Aaron Afflalo (I would actually, love this)
8.) Kris Humpries (eh)
9.) Stuckey (eh)
10.) JJ Barea or Nick Young (could be worse)

if david west's knee is alright

I would literally die if it was Aaron
but it won’t be the universe doesn’t like me that much and Denver will probably match unless we offer him like 50 million over four years.
I would like AA, but after Thornton doesn't make sense
Plus I think Grant said it was a big.
Like the way your thinking though. AA would be a nice fit if he had been unrestricted.
AA is like a younger cheaper better shooting less

John Salmons
hmmm
Salmons is making 8.5 I’d be willing to pay that for AA

Don’t think it’s Nene, he has better teams he can go to. If there is a guy, it’s gotta be someone flying under the radar. Like Ak47 or David Wet (only team I saw interested in him was Indiana.)
My guess is AK, Kris Humphries or Crawford
I would like to have peja back
but I don’t feel like he is a big name free agent anymore.
any chance he could be talking about Dalembert?
he is a unrestricted FA, doesn’t play pg, and makes (some) fans happy. Or did Grant say he played for another team last season?

35 and 31. I'm calling it now. Reke and Cousins 1-2 in most improved award both All-stars. Jimmer leads rookies in scoring, passing and Ole's. Make 2nd round of playoffs and Salmons is not here by seasons end.
This is a job for the Blob...
This is what we know:
Kings spent estimated $13 million in 2011-12 on two free agents which takes them to the 80% cap floor. Don’t think the Maloofs are interested in vaulting much higher into payroll obligation than that: Scratch off AK47.
Players signed were frontcourt (Hayes) and backcourt (MT23) positions. Next logical addition is wing player.
Our current ’3’s are Salmons and Donte, two guys coming off inconsistent seasons.
Coach Westphal likes his ’3’s to hit the corner 3 pointer.
Who can hit the ‘3’ and is well-liked by Kings fans?
Who experienced bit of revival towards end of last year and was able to stay fairly healthy following chronic issues?
Who has a specialty skill, can provide spark in limited minutes, and will provide fond remembrance of past success to inspire comparable future?
Who has limited risk, but potential high reward?
Who is a seasoned veteran who will provide professionalism and encouragement to youngsters?
Who will not complain if he is 11th or 12th man, if he is DNP-CD, or will be ready 10 to 20 minutes on any given night?
Who has just won a ring and would not mind to end his career where it gloriously began?
Who has the prettiest 3 point stroke since the basketball shot was invented?

In all fairness we are crowded with servicable to good players at every position
I think an impending signing would most likely signal a trade is coming.
The only real position is need is a veteran PG who Jimmer, Reke and Thomas could learn from.
Any other acquisition is just an upgrade that would crowd our roster further.
except the part where he would light himself on fire
rather than play for us and he’s pretty much the definition of a guard.
I would love for the Kings to bid on his amnesty contract.
But I doubt they ever consider it.

Would LOVE to see AK47 be the guy
Perfect addition, but too expensive. And think AK47 signing would be preceded by media leaks b/c his status as international player.

Would he really be too expensive? Prince's contract was pretty nice and I think him and AK are basically the same level.
by vikinginferno on Dec 9, 2011 6:38 PM PST up reply actions
Good point
Prince and AK47 are same type of players. Would love to be wrong b/c the Kings can put 4 highly potent scorers on the floor at once, and at least 2 or 3 have defensive issues:
Reke
MT23
JJ
Cuz
Thats 4 scorers who would be well-complemented by a defensive stopper like AK47.
Then you have players who are not known for the defensive:
MT23
Jimmer
JJ
Cuz
AK47 would do a good job covering for their defensive mistakes.
So if he is player we add I will be psyched, could make HUGE difference if he can stay healthy, just think AK-47 may look for more established team and Maloofs have spent about as much or more than they want.
"The Spurs subliment their statistics for the good of the team" Kings Coach PW.

but my confidence level in things happening that I like is pretty much shot

by caseycheesecake on Dec 9, 2011 7:08 PM PST up reply actions
From an old post:
Coming next summer, the deconstruction of the Sacramento Kings all-time roster, as written by Ailene Voisin. An excerpt:
- Peja Stojakovic lay stretched out on the loveseat in his fashionable Natomas townhouse, with a glass of single malt whisky balanced on the rippled wall of his stomach and his eyes gazing at everything yet nothing while turned towards the ceiling.
I wept soulfully in the background, filling the room with a tragic aria that thoroughly suited both his and my mood. For beside him, tossed down on the cocktail table like a Grant Napear insult, lay the letter he knew he should not have opened because it was not the first piece of poison he had received over the last few heart wrenching weeks.
The bearded line of his mouth gave a twitch of contempt at his own lack of willpower. If he’d utilized a fraction of the tough mental strength he was known for out there in the European world, he would have binned the letter unopened with the dismissive disdain it deserved.
He had discovered, however, that physical strength and mental strength and emotional strength were three separate disciplines, especially when applied to me, his hot-tempered, infuriatingly independent, sensationally sexy dark-haired vixen of a beat reporter. His beat reporter.
He took a slug of the whisky. "Indiana? What is there for us in Indiana? Why, Ailene? Why does it have to be Chris Webber or me?"
Damn Chris Webber, I thought, as I gently stroked the thick hair on Peja’s muscular and toned forearms. Damn the Maloof’s, too. And Geoff Petrie. And Marty MacNeal. Damn them all. Damn them all to the furthest reaches of hell. -

Hansen: You are a free agent now. Do you stay in Russia or come back to the NBA?
Kirilenko: Before Dec. 9th I will listen to offers from the NBA. I am happy in CSKA and it will be a tough decision. Utah Jazz is in my heart and is on the priority list. I will look at everything on the table. You know here in Russia my kids are in school, the team is great and I have been playing really well. It will be a difficult decision.
Hansen: Did you follow Jimmer?
Kirilenko: Yes, I followed a little and I think he can play. You know there was all that Jimmermania going on in Utah and we all wanted him to come play for the Jazz but unfortunately he got drafted and signed for the Sacramento Kings. I wish him good luck.
Hansen: How many more years do you want to play?
Kirilenko: I would like to play three or four more years. I feel have enough juice left for that many more years at a high level. After three to four years I don’t know if I will be able to play at my highest level.

2 – Take off caps lock. Comes off better.
3 – No he’s not all that, but those are pretty good numbers for a SF/PF. He’s a veteran player. We would probably sign him for 2-3 years and 12-21 mil. Could help us.

We don’t have rules. Just a better way to have your thoughts read.
If you don’t hit reply, we don’t know who you are talking to since threads are generally on a similar topic.
And it’s hard to read all caps, so aside from etiquette, it makes it easier to read your longer posts and understand what you are trying to communicate.

If I had to put money on it
I would go David West or AK47. If they opened it up to trades, I’d guess one of the Utah bigs, likely Millsap or Al Jef

I wonder how moving West to the Kings would free up the N.O. deal

Any chance we could do something like a sign-and-trade for West with Jason Thompson?
Not saying I’m for that, but it would free up our frontcourt a bit.

If West is a UFA, how would he have fit in to the CP deal?
NO wouldn’t be “moving him” to the Kings, the Kings would just be signing him.

At this point it has to be Gasol
I’d have to think his agent would figure out if the Grizz would match the offer if he was going to try to sign someplace else.
Grant said a free agent whose signing could be announced as early as tomorrow
Memphis would have an opportunity to match on Gasol, so it can’t be him if you are using Grant’s criteria.
SACTOWN ROYALTY - Try our thick creamy shakes!
I still say AK, but signing could be announced tomorrow, Griz just have 3 days to match
Even RFA signings are announced to all. Not done by secret bidding.

Shouldn't the bottom one be more of a pistol?
I’ll be the happiest person in the world if he turns out to be a good player on this level. Hell, I’ll even change my avatar to a pic of the Jimmer and make my signature "I was wrong about the Jimmer."
Just looked at Ziller's complete free agent list
And obviously minused the ones who reached a deal today. I wish that ginger would’ve been more specific but I think it makes sense that it’s probably a SF. The only big I would be cool with is Kris Humphries but I think that’s pretty unlikely. Ultimately the only signing I would truly rejoice over is probably AK-47. But I guess it would be pretty cool for Peja to finish his career where it started. Bottomline I really think its gonna be a 3.
Good part about Humphries is that the Kardashians probably want him away from LA
so maybe they’ll help build the arena in sac?
If I was in a room with Bin Laden, Hitler, and Robert Horry, and I had a gun with two bullets, I'd shoot Robert Horry twice.
I think they'd rather build him an arena in New York if they really wanted him away

Its either
AK47 or Gasol. not getting my hopes up for Gasol so I’m guessing AK47, that might even be unrealistic with the Maloofs sd owners. Somebody has to break the news, this could also change the perception on the Maloofs if It’s a highly touted guy.
As said before
AK47 needs a Russian buy out probably doesn’t happen in 1 day

Gasol is RFA

I see Al Thorton and Josh Howard are free agents, not sure if either has signed.
Yep restructured as he had a set back and a chance he miss yet another season.

Personally I think GB gets lazy in this one and it will be a lot closer than people think
The Packers have been giving up quite a bit of yards on the ground. Personally I see it as a bit of an ugly game where the Raiders have a chance to steal it at the end
Everyone is picking the Saints game as the upset special
and I get it but I think the Raiders game might be surprising
After the Miami game, its hard to think that way
But the Raiders have shown glimpses of dominance and skill. Just need to consistently bring it for the full 60. Maybe playing the undefeated Packers will motivate them enough

Yeah, the Packers defense has been spotty at best
But they make a lot of big plays, and with Palmer as the Raiders QB I could see an interception or two, easily.
The big question is whether or not the Oakland defense can stop the Packers’ offense. And my best guess is no.
"1998? Well, I spent most of the summer in the studio, doing my Christmas album, which was huge." "I’m almost afraid to ask. What Christmas album?" "Imagine Christmas wishes/Shooting out of your eyes/A candy cane full of snow dreams/A stocking full of smiles/It’s a Jordan Christmas" "I remember that! That video was raunchy!"
Comes down to Raiders pass D vs. Packers rush D
If the Raiders can exploit the Packers horrid rush D, and at least play at a level less than dreadful in the pass D than we could have a chance.

But I still question how effective the Raiders’ defense can be against GB’s offense. They aren’t gonna be able to stop Aaron. That final drive against New York was almost disgusting in how perfect it was.

Sorry, missed that point. Should be a pretty entertaining game. And if the Packers have to lose to someone, I’d prefer the Raiders over anyone else left on their schedule by far.

Yeah, haha the only way to stop Rogers is to keep him off the feild.
Guy is too good and giving him the ball with any time left in a close game is asking to lose.
Yeah
Immediate reactions on Twitter during last week’s game was just that 58 seconds is a long ass time for Aaron to have the ball, even with 80 yards to go and I believe 1 time out.

Because that’s one thing. But he kneels in prayer after every freaking play. There’s even a Bible passage that denounces public prayer, lol.

Politics and football should not mix. Period.
Also, totally just heard this quote from Community earlier and it’s amazing.

I’m kind of funny when it comes to football. I’ve been watching all my life but never REALLY had a team until Aaron became the starter for the Packers. I’ve had an irrational hatred of Favre since I was a kid (well, it’s perfectly rational now, but it was VERY irrational back then) so I didn’t like it when Aaron went there. But I’ve been following his career, and since he’s been the starter I’ve declared myself as a pseudo-Packers fan. In other words, I jumped on the bandwagon before the championship season ;)
My dad is a Raiders fan and my brother a Niners fan which is maybe why I never aligned myself with either of those teams. I root for both, but as long as Aaron is the starting QB, I root for the Packers above all other teams.
Also, it’s a running joke between myself and Juan Primo about his man crush on Aaron ;)

That must be a fun house to be in during the annual Bay Area Battle during preseason
A bandwagoner is a bandwagoner, but what the hay? We all start somewhere right? haha
And about that man crush, I prefer… Damn whenever I think of someone, I find a reason to dislike them.

Ya know, it wasn't bad growing up
Mostly because both teams sucked lol and preseason is just like…eh, who cares. Really not that cutthroat which is good.
And yeah, I jumped on the bandwagon during a 6-10 season, so I’m not as bad as those who jumped on during last year’s playoff run! Still kind of stunned they’re undefeated. And yet, considering the rest of their schedule, 16-0 is a definite possibility.

And that is sadly true, this is the first season in a long time that both the Raiders and the Niners are having a decent and a great season, respectively. Kinda fun to watch, even if I do dislike the Niners

I’d hardly call it the Patriot curse considering it has happened to one NFL team ever. Haha. Only other team to go undefeated in the regular season was obviously Miami back in the 70’s. Shorter season, but still.

Moore and Ford are awesome, best thing about them
besides their blazing speed is, they never give up on a ball like so many WR’s do these days.
Sometimes it costs them though
Love their effort, but it backfires sometimes. I can remember two times Moore couldn’t catch the ball and popped it up for a pick

and McFadden and Moore will be back for Det and possibly Ford. I see The Raiders winning their last 3 and building momentum.
Denver is going to lose to the Pats, and i see Chi beating them this week so Raiders should still win this.
Denver losing to NE is not a given, but most likely outcome
The Bears might play into Denver’s hands by playing a low-scoring game.
I think the Raiders match up horridly against the Lions, if only because we can’t stop a rushing QB, but the game is totally winnable

I really have nothing against Brady. I dislike his organization but he’s so talented and just doesn’t seem like a douche. But he very well could be. Also, I’ve never really found him to be very attractive so I just laugh at the pretty boy comments.

When healthy is the key word
I don’t think this team knows what healthy is. But yes, these wideouts have a load of potential. With Moore and Ford, you have two guys who can burn anyone in the open field, while DHB brings speed and strength. If only we were healthy and consistent, just like our coaching (chasm alert!!!)

FWIW
Kirilenko is a former all-star (2004). And I don’t think he and Salmons would co-exist on the same roster. Too many run-ins with Sloan, et al. over the years regarding not enough a) touches on offense and/or b) playing time.
For all his strengths (passing, overall ball-handling, willingness to pass, help-defense), he’s a worse career perimeter shooter than Salmons (37%>31%), a worse FT shooter (81%>76%) and turns the ball over more (15.4%>13.6%). Also, despite being younger than Salmons, he has more mileage (20k>18k minutes).
Therefore, while you can still make an argument, I don’t think signing AK47 is enough of an upgrade to merit his signing and the subsequent amnesty of Salmons. I’d actually instead prefer to sign Peja to a small, one year deal with more of a mentoring role involved. Now, if the alleged FA is actually one of the bigs, i.e. MGasol or Nene, that’s a whole ’nother story.

Good point
Salmons and AK47 are similar in terms of spotty outside shooting and solid defensive players. Minutes would be challenging to split evenly, or appease both players. And you are talking about committing $8 million to Salmons plus close to same amount to AK47? I don’t see a lot of logic to this, and it would be inconsistent with moves Geoff has made in the past.
AK47 had success at ‘4’, but Hayes and JJ are going to get a lot of minutes there. And seem a nice blend of offense and defense.
And as much as I like AK47 game, he is amazing help defender, on ball defender and finisher in open court, I somewhat question his commitment to the NBA, his desire to win and be a valuable teammate. I think the time to acquire him was 2 to 3 years ago, not now. I think we could see a steady decline in his production with his body type and inclination to injury.
For these reasons, price tag, personality and fit, Geoff will say ‘pass’.
"The Spurs subliment their statistics for the good of the team" Kings Coach PW.
Fit could be a problem, but I will take it
AK47 had success at ‘4’, but Hayes and JJ are going to get a lot of minutes there.
Not only has AK47 had success at the 4, but this is the position in which he thrives. Most of his struggles have come when trying to play SF in which he really is limited. If we sign AK47 then this makes the trade for Hickson terrible as Hayes should be first off of the bench with AK47 starting. For JJ to play, the Chuckwagon is now your full time backup center. He did play that in Houston, but I think that he excels more when he can play PF. This isn’t even talking about JT and how he will wither be traded for cents on the dollar or just sent to rot on the bench.
All that being said, I would be happy if the Kings signed Andrei. A dearth of talent is not a problem that the Kings have had in awhile and it is a welcome problem.

My bet: A three.
We are packed with guards and bigs, many of whom we are committed to (high picks) and and many more who need minutes to develop. (And in a Petrie world, need time grow/play into bigger trade assets… think J.J. and J.T.)
So, this leaves the SF position. And Salmons can be amnestied. Meaning that offers in the almost 20 million-ish range would not be out of the question. AK47 range. Just saying.

"1998? Well, I spent most of the summer in the studio, doing my Christmas album, which was huge." "I’m almost afraid to ask. What Christmas album?" "Imagine Christmas wishes/Shooting out of your eyes/A candy cane full of snow dreams/A stocking full of smiles/It’s a Jordan Christmas" "I remember that! That video was raunchy!"
Actually pretty smart
Knowing my friends, I’d probably be doing 4 questions, and doing 16 of my other friends questions becasue they don’t understand them.

I actually completely agree with this lol
I didn’t do this as an undergrad, even though we’ve been together for 2 years before grad school. I just didn’t trust anyone else. But now I do. And honestly, if we didn’t trust each other on this, we couldn’t handle it all on our own. My midterm study guide was 25 pages. 25!!

Lol that's why I don't do it
Guess I didn’t make it clear I was doing this hypothetically. I do my own work, and occasionally help others if I feel like I’m in a helpful mood, which is most of the time since I feel sorry for some of them.

Me too lol
But I didn’t trust others with group projects as an undergrad. Now, I do everything in groups if they let us.
We had a massive project in one class as undergrads and most of us did it solo because we didn’t really trust each other. Now, every time we have the option of a group project we instantly pair up lol.

I'm a junior
But this is my first semester at Chico. I transferred from Yuba College in Marysville which was the worst thing ever. I saw your other posts lower down and you said you worked at Target which is totally weird because I actually had an interview there today for a prince and presentation job. Crazy coincidence o.O
Oh really? lol
I might be going back to work there once finals are over! I don’t want to though haha. I worked there for almost a year before taking an academic leave because school was just too much. I said I’d come back for seasonal but I’m re-thinking it. I want a break, and I’d only come back for a couple of weeks because they’d let me go w/ the seasonal people since I can’t work during the semester. I want to come back next summer though, so I don’t wanna burn any bridges.
Who did you interview with? If you can remember. lol

I don't even know how you can do that
I’m taking 18 units right now and finals have been hell to study for as it is, I can’t imagine also having a part time job with it…Especially with Peaches teasing us with this “big name” nonsense that has totally hooked me.
Seriously!
I have 15 units, but in most grad programs 9 units is full time. So 15 grad units is a very heavy load. In the first 2 months of school, I had a grand total of 3 days off from work AND school. I went up to Tahoe for one weekend. That was it. Obviously I requested that weekend off and thankfully a couple of friends helped cover me, but it was brutal to go so long without a break.

Don't think so
Inked with Pacers until 2014 – only from the cold dead hands of Larry Bird, unless we are trading. Also, not a good fit as yet another primary scorer. Whoever it is, I suspect as you do a 3, but with more of a defensive or rebounding profile. Just a guess.
Agree, but
Agree, but rumored to be FA signing. But to quote Morrisey, “I wouldn’t say no.” Just not convinced Granger is a good basketball fit after the Chuck Hayes sign. (Padding young scorers with players who have impact off ball seems to be the strategy.) AK fits better.

but he’s a jack of all trades. All about the price and what we do with the other guys because that’s a lot of players we’re carrying. Trades coming?

Need an defensive minded 3
We need an defensive minded 3 who can play a little 4 if need be? AK47 check. Again, can amnesty Salmons to make a lot salary room for a BIG DEAL. Check. I’m starting to buy in.
that'd be great if AK47 is the guy

We should all take some to Peaches studio too to show him how happy we are. Fire off a few rounds just to make sure he hears us.

AK-47
would really help our defense. Just stop opposing players right in their tracks. Might be illegal though, or at the very least a double flagrant.

I say Gasol
Criteria according to Grant:
1) Not an All Star – Check
2) Big name – Check
3) Kings’ fans happy – Check
4) Seems to be a FA and not a team being dealt with – Check – if Memphis renounces Gasol
5) Not a Guard – Check
6) 50-50 chance – Check – if Memphis renounces
"We're like Tim Duncan and David Robinson. But a younger version. I really feel that." - Charlie Villanueva about himself and Chris Bosh.
Would love it. We would have to offer max deal. Front load. Big bonus though.
Gasol will match unless we go freaking crazy.
I just can't imagine a scenario where Memphis renounces Gasol or doesn't match an offer
But I’d love this, for obvious reasons.

And guys I really really don’t think it’s a big and if it somehow is I seriously doubt it’s Gasol. So yee i’m changing my guess from AK-47 to Peja. But Andrei’s a close second.
I think most of us would be excited with AK47 or Gasol
But I agree that Peja seems like a logical choice.
And hey, for a reasonable salary, I wouldn’t be opposed to it. I’d love for Peja to retire as a King.

he was a good king..but not right now. maybe next year..right now the fans need some energy and some excitement. peja would be a free agent pick up mid season
Peja is a valuable role player for vets min
That and he would be a nice piece at the end of the bench and end of any close game. That’s all for Peja. I wouldn’t say no, but he is not who we are talking about.

But this made me think of those nature shows where they install tracking devices on the wild animals.

But Salmons probably gets amnestied to make cap and roster room
(We signed a lot of players today!!!)
Maloofs aren't paying $ for someone to leave

Hear ya
But then I don’t think we are talking AK47 if that is the case. Please may I be wrong – signing him at 12 million would be great. But unlikely.
Because...
Toro is right, the Maloofs are cheap. They will not go into luxury tax territory to sign AK AND keep Salmons. But even though they are cheap, they may amnesty Salmons… paying him still but not counted on cap/lux. This assumes ~20 mil need to get AK.
This could be huge.

Alright. Let's go through this team by team.
Is it any of these people? If yes, why?
Hilton Armstrong
Jason Collins
Jamal Crawford
Josh Powell
Etan Thomas
Damien Wilkins
Carlos Arroyo
Glen Davis
Nenad Krstic
Troy Murphy
Sasha Pavlovic
Von Wafer
Delonte West
Kwame Brown
Dominic McGuire
Joel Przybilla
Garrett Temple
Davis already in Orlando. With Wafer. Krstic would need buy out from Russia
The rest? Not exactly front page news outside Crawford, and he is a high volume guard (and it is not a guard we are talking about…)

AK47 kind of reminds of Dalembert on offense. On defense, too, so that’s the good thing.

I just had to look up if the motor and sensory strips in the brain are bilateral. Which I knew they were, because the left hemisphere controls the right side of the body and vice versa. So each side HAS to have their own motor and sensory strips. I think I’m losing it.

he was TERRIBLE last year, but despite the additions of Hayes and Hickson, I’d take a one year flyer on Troy Murphy over Kirilenko. GP’s been rumored to like his game in the past. I actually think he’d be a good risk for his former team the Warriors also.

Billups
I think he ends up in Boston. Good friends w/ Garnett. Fair amount of playing time (Rondo is currently the only PG on their roster). Chance to get revenge on NYK. I know teams under the cap get first dibs, but if he refuses to show, what team is willing to take the risk? Certainly not a team like Sacramento.

Well, in that scenario, he can either backup Rondo on the Celts or be a starter on the Heat.
Seems like an easy choice.

+ and -
+ great basketball fit (Defensive minded 3 who rebounds, can score if needed but in his head does not need to be that guy, great team player.)
- spending your cap the year before what should be a great free agent season
But I’d place the fit above holding out for next year – pretty much in this case only. Maybe the best thing about AK is that he makes everyone around him better.
I'm with you.
You have Salmons & Garcia at the 3. You have Honeycutt and Greene to back them up in case one breaks a nail at some point in the future.
I don’t understand why the Kings are going after AK. They have 4 guys who can play the 4 who are already reasonably slated for minutes at the 4 & 5. You have 2 guys slated to get minutes at the 3 whom you are not waiving with the amnesty clause.
Signing Ak47 is something I just don’t understand why the Kings would do. Especially for a large enough sum of money.
No mistakes in the tango, Donna. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....
Sure
if you move Salmons, that changes things a lot. I’d like Kirilenko as my starting 3 over Garcia or Greene. But what team would want Salmons – or phrased differently, what team would want Salmons’ contract?
With amnesty the lowest bidder gets Salmons
So, no worries about who would take his contract. Someone will get him for the vets min or somewhat more. (See the new CBA…)
er highest bidder, my bad
but nobody is going to bid much more than 30% of his current contract to get him through amnesty..
it won't be Salmons
who goes – for his own reasons, GP wants him here. They’ll trade JT, Donte and/or Cisco before they dump Salmons … who also won’t be amnestied.
“…Salmons … who also won’t be amnestied.”
Salmons is the most logical amnesty choice, but – as TZ discussed in an earlier story – not until after this season.
Thats a whole lot of Amnesty money
John Salmons
2011/12
$8,500,000
2012/13
$8,080,000
2013/14
$7,580,000
2014/15
$7,000,000
Minus whatever % even at 50% that means 15.5 million dollar amnesty to get out of his contract…

If we did get Gasol we would need to keep Salmons for perimeter defense.
"We're like Tim Duncan and David Robinson. But a younger version. I really feel that." - Charlie Villanueva about himself and Chris Bosh.
I understand
the potential amnesty implications surrounding Salmons. I was talking about a future trade. As I mentioned above, I don’t believe Salmons and Kirilenko can or should co-exist on the roster – unless you either trade Salmons or amnesty Garcia.
They can co-exist fine. You just tie Salmons to the bench

"The Spurs subliment their statistics for the good of the team" Kings Coach PW.
if it were a trade
i would like to see them land galinari. I think of him as the new peja, stretches the floor, nails free throws, and is an underated defender
Tim Duncan?
Is Kaman available?
Other than that, all I have is AK47 or Tayshaun Prince.
"His D was a difference at the end."
Really? I love his music!
Wait, why is it big news that he’s back in Detroit? What’s a Tayshaun? Is it a new single?
Little CBA,
Why don’t we overpay?
Fairer CBA,
That’s why we locked out for 149 days…

I just realized
If you combined the DNA of Carl Landry and Chuck Hayes you’d have the best undersized 4 in the league. It must have been fun being a Rockets fan when they had both of them.

you all know Dave reads StR, right? He’s reading this right now and messing with us most likely. Well done, sir!
At least give me a shoutout on twitter or something!

Now Dave tweets: The most unforgivable curse

If you were Dave and did that on Twitter,
we’d be freaking out thinking, wait, so it’s not AK? Now it’s Marcin Gortat?
This.
This got a rec just because of Harry Potter
I’m such a nerd that any HP reference will get an auto-rec.

3) and we’re both procrastinating on finals

Yes!
Rec! :P I’m so burned out. But I have insomnia so I’ll be up til 2 or 3 anyway. Might as well do my work and mess around on STR and Twitter.

TWINS!
I have insomnia too (no BS) my family jokes around telling me I’m a vampire because I perk up at night and would rather sleep during the day. Been that way since I was little.
I’ll be trolling around here with my class notes floating in the background for the rest of the night sigh
Do we have a Christina 2.0?
I like where this is going. This could be even better than Omri vs. Donte!

Same
Check up on StR everyday but hardly get to post because of school (apparently I have time during finals though….whoops).
24, post-bacc student at SFSU, went to UCI undergrad.
Love HP and Scrubs (clearly you’re in my living room watching my tv), Roseanne, Friends, and I Love Lucy.
Ummm first job was party host at Chuck E. Cheese’s, with dancing in the rat suit on the side haha
Dude, that's awesome
My first job was as a ref for youth soccer. It was horrible because the parents were insane. Seriously, for games where the kids were 6 they’d be screaming in your face about missing calls. I’m just thinking to myself that these kids are more interested in the bugs in the dirt than in playing the game and you really care about the out-of-bounds call? Really?
Also, I love Friends too! First TV show I ever owned on DVD lol.
I also love 30 Rock, Futurama and Arrested Development. And The Office is still solid enough.

Why? Because I was once a little kid in those youth soccer leagues, thankfully my parents didn’t care about the calls.

Kobe liked to come in whenever it was the busiest just to get all the Laker fans all riled up. He’d claim that he wanted to be inconspicuous but would roll up to the gym in his white Bentley.

Yup!
It made me feel better too that all the smack I had been talking previously was in fact true.
He would call us whenever he’d want to work out. One time it was during our school’s welcome week event and we had well over 1000 people at our gym. He decides to show up (even though we tell him he shouldn’t) and proceeds to work out in the gym, requiring 10 of us managers to create a fan perimeter.
It was incredibly annoying. I’m sure I ended up on many FB pages with a scowl on my face that night.
He also works out and grunts in a weird language. Very strange. And he would refuse to sign anything for us to give to fans. Carmelo Anthony did though!
Geez

At UCI
We had a pretty awesome gym at school, and he only lived about 15 minutes away. I’m quite positive he had a gym at his house.
He just really loved the attention. He even opted to take an Olympic drug test in our bathrooms.
Weird.
One of my best friends has an uncle who apparently used to live in the same neighborhood as Kobe. She told me this story once…
I guess her aunt’s mother was visiting them and she’s pretty frail. So her aunt arranged for the people from her nail salon to come to the house and give her mother a manicure. Just a small thing, for an old woman who was sick and frail. Apparently Kobe’s wife goes to the same salon and threw a fit when they wouldn’t bend the rules and make a house call to her too.

I personally believe that US Americans are unable to do so because some people out there in our nation don’t have maps, and I believe that our education, like such as South Africa and the Iraq, everywhere like that and such as, and I believe that they should, our education over here in the US should help South Africa and should help Iraq and the Asian countries so we will be able to build up our future.

PLEASE SEND DWIGHT TO LITERALLY ANY TEAM THAT IS NOT THE LAKERS.
For real, if they somehow get Dwight and CP3, I’m done with the NBA. I can’t handle that shit for the next decade. Two of my favorite players going to my most hated team? No.

Well, all of this trade stuff makes me like both of them a lot less.
But I’ve liked Dwight and CP3 for years. If they go to LA I have no choice but to hate them and root against them. That sucks, but not as much as yet another dynasty for the least deserving fans of all time.

I agree with you, except for the part about them being my favorite players (great players I never liked much)

i hear ya
i’ve been waiting a decade for get old so the Laker could finally be beatable and now they may start the shit all over again with D12 and CP3 just as Kobe’s on the way out. I just don’t think I could take another ten years of Laker dominance.
Seriously
They need to be forced into an actual rebuilding period like every other team in the entire freaking league. Those periods suck, and we all have to suffer them. Why shouldn’t they? Assholes.

Yeah totally
There’s no inherent advantage to being in a huge city with a shitload of money and the type of weather that makes people want to live there year round and the whole storied-franchise thing. None of that makes a damn difference.

No. I live in LA and Lakers fans will be happy to inform you how they are just
smarter than the rest of the NBA. Such a well run organization.
I don't really think it's LA.
I think it’s the “Lakers” and the cachet that comes from being a part of that organization. Do you think Derek Fisher would be head of the Players Association if he played for the Jazz or Warriors his entire career?
No mistakes in the tango, Donna. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....
I think it's both
Because LA is a desirable place to live for a lot of people. Not me, because I’m not into big cities and I like having seasons, but I can see why others would want to live there. Nice weather year round, obviously a million things to do. But LA also has a huge population and as such they make so much money. Bandwagon fans and all that. New York has a lot of similarities, except the storied franchise. Which is why that’s so huge, but there are other huge advantages to being located in LA.

Peja is one of my 5 favorite Kings ever.
So I’m certainly with you on that.

Peja as role player
Peja as one of the last players on the floor to inbound to in a foul situation? Or at the end of any quarter in a set play to roam for buzzer beaters if nothing is there at the rim? Worth the Vets minimum, for sure.
Yeah, Peja should be an additional move
"If you can’t make a profit, you should sell your team." - Michael Jordan (Owner, Charlotte Bobcats)
Vets minimum, sure. Why not?
But that is not a big signing worth thousands of posts, now is it?

Doesn't seem
like he’s returning to MIL after the Dunleavy signing and acquisition of Stephen Jackson. I might be more on board with this more than a Peja “farewell tour” signing simply because he could have more in the tank. He’s the same age as Salmons. Depends on his knee. But GP has taken risks like this before, i.e. Shareef.

It's probably closer to 90-95% of the total max the Kings could offer Gasol.
Whatever it is, it’s almost certain to be in the 10-12 million dollar range if the Kings have offered Marc Gasol money.

No mistakes in the tango, Donna. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....
Let’s try to deduce what starter or reserve the Kings could use that is not a point guard. Shooting guard does not appear to be a possibility. A starting small forward would have to be clearly better than Salmons. Grant Hill appears to be the only option there. A center or power forward would have to be clearly better than one of Cousins, Hayes or Hickson. Nene or Mark Gasol are possibilities. As for the 16 minute backups we don’t need a shooting guard, it is hard to think of a backup that would be better than Cousins, Hayes and Hickson. Perhaps it is a small forward backup or time sharer like AK47.
Otherwise I have either overlooked someone or this positive addition would be a backup who will only see significant time if there is an injury. My guesses are Hill, Nene, Mark Gasol, AK47 or a backup who will have significant minutes only if there is an injury.
FYI, I looked at the salaries being paid free agents who have been signed, and, by that standard, the contracts of Thornton and Hayes look good.

When did the time period start for offers that were made to RFA, where their teams only have three days to counter?
Could offers be extended on days before today?
"We're like Tim Duncan and David Robinson. But a younger version. I really feel that." - Charlie Villanueva about himself and Chris Bosh.
Excellent question.
But I suspect not. If you couldn’t offer a contract before today, then there’s no reason you could tender an offer to a RFA yesterday or even 2 days ago.
No mistakes in the tango, Donna. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....
That's the question.
Because I know that team were allowed to talk to their players and agents, including I think, other player’s agents. If an offer could be made to a RFA like Gasol before Friday, the three day time period could be up on Saturday, which is the time period that Grant gave.
"We're like Tim Duncan and David Robinson. But a younger version. I really feel that." - Charlie Villanueva about himself and Chris Bosh.
That would be true
But since it was allegedly forbidden to make and accept specific offers until today, my guess is that the three-day wait period starts today if an offer was indeed made.

"We're like Tim Duncan and David Robinson. But a younger version. I really feel that." - Charlie Villanueva about himself and Chris Bosh.
No this is not possible.
They had to extend a QO before June 30th to keep Gasol RFA.
Now it’s possible the Grizz offered a contract to Gasol today, but certainly not a QO. If Gasol was being offered a QO today, he’d be an unrestricted FA.
No mistakes in the tango, Donna. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....
Actually..
…what it mighta have been is a maximum qualifying offer but even then that has to be offered by June 30th. Doesn’t make much sense to allow a team to offer a maximum qualifying offer (which the Grizz can’t offer to Gasol anyway) if you didn’t offer it by June 30th if you are the NBA.

So Peaches says, "Team made a great offer...now let's wait and see."
When I think of a great offer, I think of a big free agent. If you’re going for Peja…how can you refer to an offer as “great”. Wait and see, even if it’s Saturday could still apply to an RFA…who are using the Kings to get the max. Maybe the reason for the waiting is for Gasoline to ask Memphis to match it.

Draft night threads get crazy.

Ah, draft threads. Lots of posts, but usually made up of one word posts like
“F*ckkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!!!” & “Who?!”
This.

That just makes you not a communist.
Which makes you a good American. Unless you’re a Mexican in Arizona which just means you’re an illegal immigrant no matter if you’re family has lived in Arizona for the last 200 years.

Which is why I'm going to start a revolution for all of the legal illegal immigrants out there
But I can’t leave the illegal illegal immigrants out because that would just be illegal in my mind. You know what forget that, I’m just proud to be a Mexican American. haha

True lol. I mean, I won't be able to sleep anyway
I keep telling myself, every single night, that if I just lay there quietly and breathe deeply and close my eyes, eventually I’ll fall asleep. This has not helped.

Never works
I just end up planning my day, or going over what I just did. Melatonin does the trick! But no reward of sleep today considering I spent half the day on StR.
Works out, I’m more productive at night anyway.
I used to have that problem
But then I got one of those Memory Foam mattress pads from Costco. Worth every penny

Mine's stress
My bed is super comfortable. But this semester has just been brutal. I had a period of about 3 weeks where I literally broke down sobbing every night. I wish I was exaggerating too. It was bad. My whole program was a mess. We weren’t able to sleep, or eat. People were getting physically sick from the stress and several of us (including myself) noticed that our hair was literally falling out. It was horrible.
So yeah, my insomnia started then. Hasn’t gone away since.

Damn
Sorry to hear that. If I lived in Chico, I’d totally buy you a beer after finals. Lol

lol thanks
I’m studying to be a speech therapist and we have clients in our on-campus clinic. Both of mine were awesome this semester. The other Christina in our program worked with a little boy with autism and it was so, so bad. We could usually hear him screaming from the room where we all hang out. It’s not like he could help it, but it was awful. She was amazing with him though, so I’ve already told her I’ll buy her a beer when we go out to celebrate finals being over next week lol
Can totally relate
I’ve always been a night owl, even as kid, but my program doesn’t make it any easier. I’ve been in it for a year and a half now and have seen people’s hair start to turn gray from the stress.
Everyone in my program is super competitive since we’re all trying to get into med school and since no one wants to be the one to fall behind, we’ve been driving ourselves crazy with non-stop studying. This semester has been awful though, I’m completely burnt out.
As soon as this is over though, I’m going on a cruise! Far, far away from SF fog
I've always been a moderate night owl
When I was a few years younger, over summer I’d go to bed around midnight or 1 and wake up at like 10 when work didn’t conflict. It was great. But now I try to go to bed early and just can’t sleep. I need to get some medication of some kind if it doesn’t get better over winter break.
Try melatonin!
They have it at Costco and most places now I think. I try not to take it a lot, but whenever I know I need to fall asleep right away I take some and it helps me get to bed sooner.
Nyquil works too
For me, at least.

I think they have it at Trader Joe’s. I need to make a note to get some tomorrow.

Are you fairly new to STR? I kinda had a thing last year where I changed my sig for almost every game thread, lol. Starting up with that again. I like to mix it up, and since they’re just funny quotes from shows or movies I like, I don’t have any real attachment to them.

I mostly post on game threads
And often hijacked them with others lol. But that’s not gonna happen this year. The guy I usually jacked threads with doesn’t come here much any more and we rarely talk, so I don’t expect that.
If I had more time, I'd offer to be your new partner in crime
But I’ll be so busy this upcoming year that I’ll be happy just to be able to watch a game here and there. Gotta build my concrete canoe!

Futurama
Which I figure will be in heavy rotation this season. I somehow only recently got hooked, but now I’m kind of obsessed. Brilliant show.
I was going to guess either that or The Simpsons
But I decided not to. My favorite episode is the one where they’re on the planet with all the giant women. That one had me rolling on the ground in tears

lol that's a popular one around here
Not one of my favorites though. It’s alright, but I have a lot that i like way more.
I have to admit I have only seen half of the episodes, though
I’m sure there are better ones out there. I just liked the Amazon trying to get the little green guy off the ceiling by poking at him with a broom. That, and the “Death by Shnoo-Shnoo.”

lol yes there was a big joke on a thread here once
That was all about that episode. Someone started the joke because we were talking about height, and I said I’m about 5’10. I was called an Amazon, and that’s when it started. lol
That is awesome!
Did you ever play basketball?

Not really
I played in elementary school rec leagues lol. Didn’t even try out in junior high. I was tall, but I’m a pretty reserved person. Even more so in junior high. I was extremely shy and awkward and the thought of playing basketball on a competitive team freaked me out lol. Not exactly a good characteristic in a potential athlete.
Apparently I just missed that competitive gene. My older brother played basketball until he blew out his ACL in his senior year and my younger sister played volleyball for four years, basketball for two (including being on varsity as a sophomore) and jumped for track all four years.
Interesting
Seems you’ve gotten over that shy and awkward thing, tho.
I played from the time I was 10 to about 18. I was always pretty tall, having topped out at 6’1". Got cut from the Varsity Squad in high school my Senior year and then gave it up afterward. Loved playing while it lasted

Doesn't hurt to give it a shot
Just to be sure, I never take it that often in case of any unwanted side effects. But so far I haven’t noticed any. It just helps me to get to sleep within half an hour of laying down instead of the usual waste of time 2 hours.
Not too bad from what I can remember
I’m fairly sure that I didn’t feel taken aback by the price. But that was a while ago. The bottle I have has 300 pills in it, and I’ve had it a long time now.
Oh OK, yeah.
I’m so broke that if it’s super expensive I won’t be able to try it lol but I hope it’ll work.

We were all thinking Kirilenko for a while
There was a tweet that claimed his agent knew nothing about talks though. He seemed like a good guess and I think he’s still a possibility.
Napear tweeted something about an offer being made and now we wait and see. This makes me think we made an offer on Marc Gasol, though he’s a restricted free agent and as such Memphis can match any offer he receives. I honestly can’t think of a scenario where Memphis lets Gasol go, but it’s possible.
There’s also talk about Peja. This wouldn’t be a “big name” in the typical sense, but he’s always been a fan favorite, and frankly it would be pretty awesome if he could end his career where he started it. I’d be good with this, but the hype would have been way over the top, obviously.
K Thanks - I feel like I'm trying to solve a murder mystery (a la Orient Express, Clue, etc.)
Again, the three clues are (right?):
1) not a guard
2) non all-star – (never, or just for last season)?
3) uh, what was that one again?
Honestly, I don't even know any more
So many guesses and no actual confirmation. There’s also the chance that we’re all just blowing this WAY out of proportion. So I’m trying not to get my hopes up too high.

If we amnestied Fransisco Garcia....
It will not clear our books for this season, correct? He is making six million this year and over six next seaon…wouldn’t it be smart for Petrie to atleast think about using it on him?? We have about 12 million left to work with this season… Im not sure that is enough to lure Nene or Marc Gasol but I could be wrong…
OK team
This has been an epic thread and I’m sure no one else is even here, but I have to try and sleep. Gotta get up early tomorrow to read 5 chapters of my textbook for a final on Monday that was never lectured on. Oh, the joys of grad school.
I dreamt we found out who it was!
Woke up and came here to see who we picked up!
Oh well – caught the end of that lunar eclipse though and that was pretty cool.
I still think it could be Nene if the Nuggets made him mad with a weak offer.

I think Nene is the guy.
Petrie has been high on him in the past. He’s a big name(not not NAMES), I think the Nets nab Howard this weekend leaving the Nene camp scrambling. Kings offered a near max to max offer and he’s an unrestricted free agent.

Has anyone guessed DeAndre Jordan yet?
That’d be fantastic…

If this deal goes through...
the kings need to exploit lakers lack of big man presence on Dec 26th. Bynum will still be sitting and Gasol will be gone…
We just need to shut down Kobe and Cp3 – easy!
Emeka Okafor to Lakers
With Character and Ebanks to Hornets….

I know Okafor's contract is bad...
But the previous deal would have left them VERY thin up front and he significantly helps that. This deal would be better for the Lakers in my opinion. Unreal.
sooooo…. the commish vetoed the deal because he felt that the hornets needed character and embanks….ummmmm, who are they again?? and he wanted to make sure that the Lakers frontline was taken care of…as a side note: does anyone remember the great debate "okafor or howard for the number 1 pick…smh

I liked Ebanks
I really thought he could of been a great defender on the Lakers.

OK here is my solar plexus shoot-from-the-hip ultra-cynical guesstimation of just who might
that be and why. But first the why:
The Maloofs, as we all know, are fame hounds to the nth degree. We also know all too well that their “fortunes” have fallen in the last few years to the point that Adrienne and hubby, Los Angeles and environs Plastic Surgeon Paul Nassif appeared in the Wives of Beverly Hills where both Kingsmen, Gavin and Joe Maloof, made weird ass cameo appearances at a patio party. To her credit, Adrienne and that British wife were the sanest of the bunch. I’m sure the Maloof bros made sure of that. Paul also appeared on a recent episode of Dr. Oz where he “dontated” his comsetic services to a troubled six-foot hermaphrodite trying to improve “her” feminine charms. At any rate, Adrienne’s appearance seemed to be a way both to keep her hubby and her brothers in the limelight. After all, most plastic surgery is cosmetic, and therefore elective and not covered by health insurance except in rare instances.
As a way to further milk the cable medium for additional exposure, what better way to do that than for the Maloofs to sign an NBA player who already has a cable reality show which also features his wife, who also appears in a cable reality show of some note.
Therefore I say the Kings will try to get Lamar Odom to piggy back off his exposure on the reality show “Khloe and Lamar”. Khloe is reportedly “Ok” with a move if Lamar is traded. But has she ever set foot in Louisianna? Methinks Sacramento would be if not more to her liking then at least the commute would not be as daunting.

AK47
Just read an alleged tweet from Jason Jones saying the search is for Kirlenko (sp?), one of my three guesses. An average maybe above average starting small forward, about as good as Salmon. If Fredette plays well and the Kings get another back up point guard, they will have no weak spots. They will be in the playoffs unless the chemistry is bad. Cousins and Evans will be the top rank players with Fredette and Thornton as obvious possible top ten or better players
Everyday Guards: Evans, Fredette, Thornton
Everyday Small Forwards: Kirlenko, Salmons
Everyday big men: Cousins, Hayes, Hickson, Thompson
Backups: Garcia,Greene, Honeycutt, Thomas, Whiteside
14 players.
Carlji
Disagree that he is average
He’s a gamechanger on the defensive end and can guard pretty much every position on the floor. I think hes exactly what we need in our starting small forward; an outstanding defender and someone who doesnt take shots away from our main scorers, Evans/Thornton/Cousins/Hickson/Fredette. He’ll also bring 10 years of NBA experience. I think even our guys we call veterans (Garcia, Salmons, Hayes) could benefit from AK47’s presence.
The question I have is with his health, as he’s averaged 63 games per season for the last 3 years and recently suffered this head injury while playing in Russia…

He'd be pricey but possibly worth it in a playoff run.... but I like the Odom scenario better.
