Wait! What happens with WCS? Looks like the Clippers options are running thin though!  ;D

And with that free agency is over.

I don't know what Sacramento is doing. I like Koufos a lot, but couldn't Jason Thompson have done an OK job backing up Cousins for less money?

I wish this team was in the East.

Looks like the Kings are going all-in on Demarcus at power forward.

Yep, Cousins had that desire, so we'll see how that works. One thing you can say about the Kings about their moves, you have to respect their desire to compete for once... for good or ill.

What in the hell are the Kings doing?

So is Koufos starting now with WCS coming off of the bench? What a waste. He is NBA-ready defensively, and he could really help somebody (cough us cough) with rim protection!

Okay... What?

Didn't they just draft WCS and STILL HAVE DeMarcus Cousins? This is absolutely unreal. What are the Kings doing?

Willie cauley stein is about even with biyombo. He should be a bench player.   

They were stupid to take him that early.

Well, if that's the case then they should have just drafted Winslow AND sign Biyombo as a backup for Koufos. Whatever WCS will amount in the NBA is not an excuse for the incompetence of the Kings.

While I disagree with that statement in the long run, as a rookie, especially one with a potential injury, yes, he probably should be getting reserve minutes.

Kings going all in

This would be a much bigger get for the king if they didn't just draft WCS

This team needs more shooters at the 2 and 3 spot
Belinelli was a great addition

With rondo at the back and their 3 C , they need all the spacing they can get

Wee this is intersting.  Te Kings moved a bunch of fodder and Stauskas to clear room for Mathews and rondo.  They dont get Mathews, but sighn Koufos.

Can anyone see a possible trade coming here?

Or are they just gonna sign another guard/wing at 6-7 miliion?
