bull your front office knew anything, they went after a 3rd S.G (probably your strongest position) when you have so many other glaring holes on your roster (you have no starting quality S.F. and your best centre is WCS). and don't say positionless basketball because all 3 of them would get eaten alive playing S.F. or guarding proper small forwards.
This contract has every chance of being the next Chandler Parsons type deal, an ACL is no joke, especially at that age.
You haven't proven yourself very knowledgeable on this matter.
1. Lavine is much younger than either Parsons or Gallo. Parsons was 28 when he signed his deal and had already had 3+ seasons missing nearly 20 games. Gallo is an injury nightmare that's no secret and has been an issue for years and years. Lavine had 1 injury and other than that has stayed healthy.
2. How the hell do you know what vlade knew? Lavines agent (long time agent, many clients including former King pg collison) could have brought vlade a contract from the bulls showing 4/72 and said listen we know they match we need your help and next year when Oubre and a few of my other guys are up I'll return the favor.
You dont think agent/GM relationships are important? And if we did get lavine, you are wrong about bogdan. Long term hes a small forward. In this versatile nba where wings are wings and forwards are forwards it's a joke to say a guy whose 6'6 is incapable of playing on the wing. Lets go ask stevens and ainge what they think about that. Or Morey and Meyers who are playing centers who are 6'7 and 6'6
even if Bogdan is a S.F. (which is a mistake since he's playing S.G. now) are you really going to sacrifice Hield completely.
Why not get an actual small forward and build a team instead of this 4D chess the Kings are trying (they've been trying to be too cute with their picks and signings for years, with almost all of them backfiring).
Believe me I'm with you. But between 1-3 you have 144 minutes. If fox/lavine/buddy/bogdan get 30 minutes each that still leaves time for a traditional sf. But I dont think it's a mistake to play bogdan or hield at the 3, we will see but I believe they are both plenty capable of guarding your Arizas, Gay, Iggy, Gallo etc.. not lebron and pg13 but nobody is equipped for that
people are SO dramatic when it comes to the Kings. What they did was just take another competitor out of the market in terms of cap space. Doesn't mean anyone will sign here, but we can absorb contracts through trades if we so choose. Not seeing the big deal here and Chicago absolutely should match. Its not the super max for Gods sake 
Vlade gonna Vlade
