Looking at the new ownership group squeaking in under the salary cap, I like to imagine what the team would look like should the Kings still be owned by the Mafools to give some perspective. How would the team be different?
1. No Darren Collison... Ray Mac would be our new starting PG.
2. Omri would have been signed off of waivers to get the Kings up to the salary minimum.
3. Rudy Gay, if he opted in, would be traded away in a cost saving move.
My point? The Kings are making moves and spending money in attempts to improve the team... with the Mafools, they were making moves to save money... it's a very different time and, I for one, am pleased as punch that the Kings are spending and moving and talking and trading in attempts, not to save $$, but to win. Feels fantastic... it's like jumping into the Sacramento River after a long hot day in the sun.
