    Thing is he wanted it from someone but Wes isn't exactly in a hurry to jump to SAC. Can't blame him...

    I would have been happy if Portland could have gotten him for $12 mill a year but fuck yeah! Nice job Wes! You deserve every dollar, I wish you a speedy recovery and a great career!

    Good for Wes! He was my favorite Blazer in the modern era. Hope he can play all 3 years!

    Crazy.

    I like what Wes brought to the table, but that deal is a horrible risk.

    I get the Kings channel down here, so I guess at least I'll get to watch him?

    The Kings front office doesn't seem to be the sharpest pencil in the box

    Oh and Cmeeze saying anyone who thinks Wes will get anything close to $15 mill a year is delusional...

    I don't usually defend him, but seriously I'm not sure Sactown counts.

    I knew somebody would throw big money at Wes but thought it'd be the Lakers or Mavs...the Kings, that one shocked me

    I was just using that as an example, go back and read through the Wes contract thread. More than one person saying that all Wes would get would be a one year contract at $8 mill.

    Well, it's beyond any doubt - The Kings front office/asylum is being run by the inmates. . .

    Here's the crazy thing - the following scenario isn't only possible, but maybe even likely:

    1) Wes gets injured
    2) DMC gets into fight with Rondo
    3) DMC asks for trade
    4) Sac doesn't get enough for DMC
    5) team is screwed for 3-5 years.

    Sac is probably thinking 12 mil for his basketball skills, and 3 mil more for mentoring Boogie

    Terrible move for Wes, but money talks. I am glad he gets to be coached by George Karl, I think that will be a great fit. Congrats Wes..kinda
