Same could be said for M.Smart . They will not & cannot go after both .
Part of the hiccup is do to a couple of things .
1 ) The Kings are in 3 way trade discussion with the 76ers & Spurs which if it worked out would send Leonard to the 76ers .
Also Kings are in talks with Minny however those talks are much lighter than the 3 way deal above .
Either of these 2 trade situations are preventing them from making the offer sheets to either above .
Also it is a wait out game right now . Kings are being smart about this . Let others spend their cap , fill their rosters spaces and then go after the best available and get any players on the cheaper end.
We all know players do not flock to sign with the Kings so the above method is imperative .
The great thing is if we can get that 1 player here or there via signing or trades & we finally & I mean finally get much better we will then become far more attractive to players wanting to be on our team .
Sometimes being very low key & patient pays off big time .
Finally lets just say it doesn't work out we don't make that 1 signing now or trade . I can 100% guarantee everyone Kings will be in great position via trades for draft picks , a great player unhappy ( Not saying it would happen but what if J.Butler or another great player use your imagination wanted out & Kings have great cap the right young players to offer or whatever then we capitalize 1 way or the other )
It has taken years for the Kings to finally have this cap space we had to wait out Kenny Thomas and about 3-4 other bad contracts to finally expire just to get to this position .
Kings will do all they can to strike while the iron is hot and pounce when that right trade comes . Finally most likely after the next draft we will finally owe no major draft picks . If we took the current roster right now we will be lucky to win 30-35 games at best .
All that can change with 1 right trade , 1 right signing .
Drafting Bagley was stupid IMO . The Mavs got the right guy via trade 90% of us all now this . I hope I end up being very wrong I really do .
I fully expect that WCS will be dealt at worst before the trade deadline however I think he will get dealt before the season , Shump & Randolph are others most probable but not for sure based on expiring and not wanting to take on bad contract etc. They would buy out players before taking any bad contract unless that equaled a # 1 pick at least .
Be positive everyone something good is about to happen soon . Believe it or not the Leonard situation is a big part in all this . However that said Kings will only wait so long before they move on from that possible deal however due to most teams being out of cap & filling their rosters mostly the Kings can afford to wait is out a bit . Plus players unsigned will get antsy and be willing to take a bit less than they wanted then the Kings can strike !
Sixers fan here, like to follow the Kings. Are you an insider on this board? Are you able to share more about Kawhi and the Sixers? Thanks in advance.
I get info from a source via through the organization yes . I do not get all the information all the time . Their has been information I have posted in the past that has happened though that is on the rarer end simply because most trade talks , rumors do not end up happening . I mostly get info on trade chatter some never gets posted to twitter etc. & some has been posted after I have mentioned info & other times something happens so fast I do not get it at all or I am to busy to post it or care to based on some seriously rude posters whom seem to think they know that I am posting info I do not know when I really do .
Always will be haters because you know something they may not or because your name is not Woj . Then you post as I am now and somebody will follow up as if they are speaking on behalf of me or as if they even know me or know what I know or I do not know .
I get other info in terms of some other stuff as well from time to time .
I know from my stand point if somebody wants to post updates , info , inside stuff I understand not to try and start drama , discredit anyone anywhere because you never really know and if I do not believe something I try and not waste my time responding or believing that person as it is not worth it .
Yes bottom line is we are in 3 way talks still between us , 76ers & Spurs . I only know some of what is talked about that is all . Nothing is for sure at all . I will hardly ever get a trade exactly as it will happen and be able to post it before it does mostly because pieces & parts of deals change all the time , a 3rd team sometimes gets involved when it;s just your team & another . Alot happens .
On a side note I own my own business & work for myself . I am not a Woj and has tons of personal insiders that work for him I am nothing close to that nor do I care to be . I also via my source based on teams in talks with us find out sometimes info once in a while about something another team may be trying to do .
If I here anything more I will try & post it most likely .
I will close out buy saying this in general . Unlike many on the board I do not post nearly as often as most . I am way to busy between my business , family life and I have many important people that are disabled and ill so I just do not have time , I also have had some people whom are family members here on this board & people that know each other on this board whom act childish by attacking me with nothing to go on other than an opinion and those few - handful members group together to attack me again not knowing anything about me or what I Know at all . That is not to insinuate I know more than anyone person or everyone that is to say that you should not believe anyone whom is speaking in any way like they speaking for me or behalf of me or that all members know nothing here of what the Kings are thinking when that is 100 % false .
Sorry for going on a bit . I just wanted to respond to you but wanted you to know from me in regards as if history repeats itself here as it mostly does someone will reply being rude or speaking on my behalf etc. and their would most likely be people related all ganging up . I do not want that , not looking for it but that seems to be the situation . I would rather as those in charge have always said time & time again . If you do not believe somebody it is simply best to ignore them and use the ignore tab .
I also wished that all people learned what most all good parents teach their kids and that is if you have nothing nice to say do not say anything at all .
To be clear I am not trying to call out any poster or bash others . It would be nice if it all stopped . Their has been posts before that I have disagreed with and others I thought were great as well as others I thought were so way out there crazy but I would never even think of telling a poster they were a liar as I could not prove it and it's not worth it some have not learned this and cannot help themselves because they like to have something to say , see their owns words written down , here their own voice and they have nothing better to do .
The only thing I know right now is that right now you guys the 76ers are the main hold up in the deal . 76ers are holding out on the needed future draft picks to be offered in the deal to make the deal happen .
