Wesley Matthews NOT going to the Sacramento Kings

[DMAVS41]

No, DMavs.... they should. Because that is who will sign Rondo.

May be the Mavs can sign and trade him and get a sweet pick or player out of it.

After all from Wojo:

D'Alessandro left the Kings for a front-office job with the Denver Nuggets two weeks ago. Around the draft, several front-office executives and player agents expressed frustration about dealing with Divac on instances involving the trading and drafting of players. Divac is largely unfamiliar with the collective bargaining and salary-cap rules, causing him to struggle with grasping the machinations of negotiating and completing deals.

They clearly don't know the rules because they would have stretched those guys earlier today rather than trading them to get cap space.

So the Mavs got Matthews looks like

Sometimes I wish I could work as the guy running the team, but then I remind myself that I'd have to answer to Vivek

Amazing how your name lands you a gig where you don't even understand the rules

If Olshey didn't make the same offer as Dallas I want him fired. What an idiotic move. They are so busy trying to get LMA they didn't even try with other FAs. Blazers lost a starting line up this free agency.

Meh...this is good for the Blazers. You are going to get a lotto pick this year and you'll have a really nice good young core going forward.

And Sac is the same team that wanted to play 4 on 5. Just leave one guy down on offense.

Seriously.

How was Vivek a minority owner of the Warriors at any point? Did he not learn anything from the people he worked with there? Why did they allow him to invest rofl

I thought the Marlins had the worst ownership in American pro sports, but the Kings have a case.

[Done_And_Done]

I honestly can't blame the guy. With all due respect to the King's fans base, it's not an appealing destination right now. There's murmurs of friction between the star player and coach, they're baron of talent, they've established a losing environment, and their management appears inept.

Money isn't always everything.

[NugzFan]

Lol @ Kings

Totally deserved.

No matter what they will be far behind what that had before. Huge step back this summer.

Quite honestly I think this is better for Portland than Dallas.

Of course it's an immediate step back...that is the point.

They didn't have a legit title contender with what they had. LMA is a bit over-rated in my opinion....he's not efficient enough in his role on the Blazers to win a title.

But think about where the Blazers are now.

Lillard
Meyers Leonard
Vonleh
Aminu
McCollum
Plumlee
Davis

Am I forgetting anyone? That is a really good young core on all good contracts for the most part.

You get a lottery pick this year...and then you have loads of cap next year with guys coming off the books and the increases coming. This is a rock solid, super young, team.

I dunno D... They're a nice crop of young players but with the exception of Lillard and maybe Voneleh, there's nobody on that list that really excites me. They're gunna be bad for a while me thinks...

Lakers shoulda traded Larry Nance and their other 2nd rounders for those picks and Sauce. Kings gambled and prob will lose. Now the question is who will lose, Spurs or Suns after both trading their own players and prob pissing off Kief on the Suns unless he's traded too.

Suns were looking to get rid of them anyway and was afraid that no team would be willing to take them. Why do you think we gave him away for essentially nothing. a 2020 2nd round pick lol It's a W for us. Keef is most likely gone too.
