    The have no incentive. They need a Center and he might be a top 10 one now. With the money they spent this off season they aren't about to rebuild.

    Pretty sure they drafted Gorgui Dieng as insurance. I don't think it would be outlandish for them to turn down resigning Pek for around 12 million a year. How do we get there is the question?

    Dieng is not ready to start as a rookie. They have playoff aspirations. And only way that I can see is trading Freeland to a team who will give us a 2nd round pick for him. Not sure we would get any bites though.

    Trade someone like Wes to clear caproom.

    Cupboard is pretty bare on those. Not sure we have one to give until about 2016.

    Yeah, but I can't see teams lining up to take Freeland. Much less give up anything for him.

    If we are trading Wes then it is in a package FOR a Center imo. We won't just give him away.

    The Kings offer to Iggy shows they are simply looking to let Evans walk and not pull a sign in trade with Lopez and other pieces. This is good news for the Blazers since we could likely pick up Lopez for cap room if Asik isn't happening.

    of course right after I posted that:

    @Sam Amick: The Kings have pulled their offer for free agent Andre Iguodala & will no longer pursue him, I'm told. Story to come.

    depending on which two went to HOU, we don't have one until 2017.

    They are matching on Tyreke Evans then. About even value since the contract is (a little) less. Still outrageous though.

    Not sure which is a worse deal. Sactown under new ownership is just as awful as usual.

    Pulling an offer? If they thought they would have trouble getting guys to sign there now, imagine what this fiasco will do for the future.

    Is it too late to give the Kings to Seattle?

    It all depends on what happened. They may have given him a deadline to agree or they withdraw it and he didn't agree in time. If its anything other then that then its something iv never really heard of a team doing when they overpay by so much.
