Great news for Kings! Aaron Brooks is Sacramento bound!!!!

Grant doesn't usually jump the gun on announcing stuff unless he knows. Not a bad pickup though I always liked Brooks. Considering the pool that is left I am pleased.

Oh good. Another score first guard.

Seriously, wtf. A trade better be coming. Like now.

Jimmer is not cut out to run the point so i get why he was signed. Sucks that we now have the shortest point guard duo in the league.

Hopefully this means trading Jimmer is on the horizon, I wonder what we can get for him right now.

Wonder how much we paid Brooks too. Just hearing his name gives Petrie a semi, so I am not surprised we got him, not even 1 bit. he has the biggest man crush in the world on Brooks.

I was hoping we would target Jeff Teague from ATL since they just traded for Devin Harris.. oh well

Early reports say Aaron Brooks will sign a two year deal. No word yet on how much or if second year is team option.

Aaron Brooks huh....Jim Crandel reported this today:

The jokey thing is I don't think any trades are around the corner or even in a next State

When #NBAKings sign Aaron Brooks, they'll likely cut some salary. Hassan Whiteside most probable choice.

I mean, another deal has to be on the horizon. It just has to be now...right? RIGHT?

OMG. You thought the first was bad.....

The sequel with horrify you.

Petrie what the **** are you doing? Keep stacking them blocks on a base of wet mud and see what happens. OK....this has to be the precursor to a big move right? Tyrekes gone for Iggy right? Something? TRob just went from 9 shots on a good night to 4.

Petrie: "We will look to add shooting, fill the SF spot, add length and defense".

Petrie: Signs Aaron Brooks to a woefully undersized backcourt. Trades for a good player in James Johnson, but a spot shooter he is not. Dumps the one shotblocker they have to sign said undersized guard? Wow. This is the Twilight Zone. :cry:

Whiteside's contract is not guaranteed. ugh

Post #15 » by **pillwenney** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 9:14 pm

I would be thrilled with getting a late, late 1st for Jimmer at this point. Maybe the Thunder or the Heat would be interested or something.

SacKingZZZ · Post #16 » by **SacKingZZZ** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 9:15 pm

Jimmer Fredette RIP
Thomas Robinson's offensive role RIP
Most of the value for the capped out Kings offensive talent RIP

Team looks awesome on player though! hahaha.

I was just thinking, where is the Kings roster at now? They might have to cut Hassan to even bring on these two.

Post #18 » by **City of Trees** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 9:17 pm

Best part is...........the Kings have used all their cap space..... and still have crap :lol:

3.5 mil left after Johnson trade. If we cut Hassan cap would stand at 4.4 mil (before the Brooks signing)

I'm just talking about the bodies. How many roster spots are left for guaranteed deals? I didn't even think about this though.

I can't believe the Kings cap space is gone....like this. Well, all the people that thought the Maloofs wouldn't spend, there you go. They just built another Palms tower for 900 million that could be worth as much as 5 dollars if they don't get out quick if and when it bombs.
