Would you sign Omri Casspi for another tenure with the Kings?

yep, front office hijinks aside my minimalist roster change for next year roster could be:

C- Cousins, ?
PF- ?, Thompson, Evans
SF- Gay, Casspi, Williams?
SG- ?, McLemore
PG- Collison, McCallum, Miller

unrealistically minimalist (indeed all 3 pickups would have to be defensive studs to turn this), but I think with health and 3 strong/the right pickups you could make the rest work.

Directly on this question though, Omri showed well early in the year as a backup, and he's shown he can be a capable fill in now as a starter: in 19gms as a starter he's averaging 30.4min 14.3pts 4.5reb 2.2ast on .529 shooting. If you can get him back cheap,Rudy's backup becomes one position less you have to worry about.

Did you take Stauskas out back and shoot him? :rolleyes:

'Twould be blatant thread hijacking. :)

On the assumption we have in us 1 pick, 1 FA signing (MLE) and one trade (for somebody looking to dump something...)

Willie Cauley-Stein, Brandon Wright, Kevin Martin

or

Willie Cauley-Stein, Kenneth Fareid, Green/Matthews/Bellinelli/anybody who will take our money

or...

blatant thread hijacking. :) The SG/G thing is a problem however and may need more drastic action than one pickup. We need supplemental ballhandling there, and we need MUCH more shooting.

Of course given the maturity level of our front office, not to mention the maturity level of our coach who will want his guys and to make a splash, we will probably try something more disruptive however. Because in Sacramento Kingsland we don't build, we REbuild. And rebuild. And rebuild....and...

I could go for all that plus a blatant overpay for Jimmy Butler, Aaron Affalo or Wes Matthews.

Oh and should we keep Omri? HELL YES!!!

Oh, yeah. We could have put in a min bid on Outlaw and gotten him - nobody else put in a bid at all. We got him for four years, right? We basically handed the Nets about $8M right there. (Or, alternatively, we could have just not taken him at all. That would have worked out OK.)

As Capt has alluded, but didn't say we didn't sign Outlaw to a contract. We claimed him on amnesty waivers with a bid and took the remaining years of his contract. There was no choice in how many years for the contract.

Outlaw isn't a bad back up SF. It just looked worse than it was because we had John Salmons
As our starting SF.

I'd want Omri back next year. Hustle off the bench at a nice price is what I'd aim for.

I'm sure Omri would want to come back to so he can play under Karl, 2 year 5-6 million is fair.

You need PDA to deal with the numbers staff. :p

Kings have $10 million under the cap and Room Exception (two-year at $2.8 million) to spend, rather than $5.4 million of non-taxpayer MLE, and could be able to increase cap space closer to $13.5, if you waive-and-stretch Landry's contract (unless Kings can dump him with next to no cost, it's a clear play to make).
Brandan Wright is not a defensive player and neither is K-Mart.
Karl is absolutely convinced, that JT is a backup center, so Kings need all the competent PFs, that they could find.
WCS will work fine as a backup PF right from the start. Starting PF options are rather limited, if you take lottery pick (WCS) and cap space (starting SG) off the table. If Bulls waive goodbye to Thibs, maybe call them about his favorite, Taj, for Stauskas, Stockton (salary matching purposes), Unknown Player with short $2+ million contract, Kings acquire with cap space for some minor asset, and removing protection from the pick.

Cousins/JT
Amir Johnson (cap space+Stauskas with some asset back) or Taj (if Bulls are willing to deal)/WCS/Reggie (vet min)/Moreland
Gay/Casspi (Room Exception)/SF, who can play SG, on vet min
Stuckey (realistic option with cap space) or Danny Green (preferred option with cap space)/Ben/SF, who can play SG, on vet min
Collison/Miller (vet min)/Mccallum

Johnson/Taj and WCS can spend some minutes at C, if needed.
