<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Here, let me pour the elixir into some smaller cups. It isn't fatal; it just occasionally tastes cruddy. There's no great case to be made for Cuttino Mobley staying with the Kings, especially not at his likely price. Oh, Mobley can get a shot, and he can initiate a possession. He can score. You could certainly make the argument that Rick Adelman's team is better offensively with him on the floor, especially as he learns Adelman's system. But Mobley doesn't play much defense, he doesn't naturally look to pass, doesn't necessarily make teammates better - doesn't do much on the floor, overall, that the Kings don't already get done. With Francisco Garc?a newly drafted and Kevin Martin in the fold, Mobley can't possibly be a top priority here. And, of course, the Kings have to re-sign him. You want to be Geoff Petrie for a day? Deal with that much first. If Petrie doesn't sign Mobley as an unrestricted free agent, he's looking at having given up Doug Christie for Mobley last season in a deal that ultimately nets the franchise nothing: No playoff bonus, no two-guard of the future, no financial relief. And no chess piece.</div> Source
nice article. what the guy says is true. the kings cant let mobley go for nothing. if hes not going to be here, it has to be a sign and trade.
^I disagree with that.I think while it doesnt look good for the Kings and Petrie to have traded off Christie for a player thats going to bolt,the Kings have stumbled onto a luxury of having Evans and Garcia to play the position.I say let Mobley go and use the money to sign a Bigman (Steven Hunter)instead of trying to trade Mobley for one.
^ Don't forget that the Kings have to use their MLE to re-sign Mo Evans and Darius Songalia (if they choose). By signing and trading Mobley, they would still have their MLE to re sign Evans and or Songalia and anoyone else they want. If they decide just to let Mobley go then the Kings are limiting themselves further.
their fine without mobley, they have francisco garcia to take his spot and he'll do fine. hes long, athletic, and can shoot
