    Still remains to be seen if Pau Gasol can really stomach big pay cut, but one dialed-in observer insists OKC believes it has real shot here

    Dragic is better than every Pacer player outside of Paul George. They better have a ton of picks to throw in.

    He just got MLE for 3 years from the Kings. Great backup.

    Kings agree to terms on three year $16 million contract with Clippers free agent PG Darren Collison, source said.

    Full MLE on the PG once again. I think this one is probably deserved unlike possibly Livingston's.

    So Thomas is gone.

    Pistons continue to express serious interest in Isaiah Thomas, per source. They may pursue him even harder, knowing Kings unlikely to match.

    Outlaw/JET likely candidates. MT @KBergCBS: Kings intend to create room for Collison's deal by waiving and stretching a player, source says.

    Might as well bring Outlaw back since we have discussed every other former Blazer right? :)

    I'm so confused, I thought the Kings already had a contract agreement with him?

    If Boozer gets amnestied, do you think Cleveland puts in an offer?

    I wonder what the Clippers will do for a backup now? Part of me wishes they'd lure Mo away.

    If he would be willing to be the first guy off the bench, I would try and arrange a sign and trade for I. Thomas. It seems he probably wants more than the MLE. I would totally take him for this team. He's awesome.

    Crap! Thomas would have been a great grab.

    Thomas is way out of our price range and not even remotely close to being worth a starter

    God, I hope they're wrong. Gasol could really help them. Can OKC offer more than the MLE? I'd much prefer to see Gasol go to San Antone and watch Duncan match Jordan in rings.

    Agreed. It looks like he's Detroit-bound. (Wonder what Brandon Jennings thinks about that?)

    It could be HUGE for them. And doubly bad for us if they get him for the same MLE that we could have had him for. Hopefully Neil is at least checking to see where Pau is at with that because as much as he would be huge for them it will be really huge for us. I dont see it happening at all but I want Neil to at least ask.

    Pau would probably start for OKC. I don't see how he coudl start for us. He would want to start.
