Josh Smith targeted by Sacramento?

Thanks crash.

 

Completely forgot about the Bellineli contract...if the cap stays at the initially estimated $67 MM, the Kings I THINK will be able to offer essentially the same amount as the MLE assuming their Philly trade is executed. If it rises to $69, as Crash pointed out, they could offer $7 MM.

They dumped about 15 million in Landry, Stauskas and Thompson to Philly for cap space. So they should have somewhere in the neighborhood of ~10 million to spend.

 

Isn't it more since they let Williams walk to the Knicks? Not sure if his cap hold was included in the numbers

 

You are right, I applied the league minimum for a player with 10 years and it should have been a 1 year vet salary which would is $845,059 for this season.

 

Koufos went to Sac? And Belinelli @$6m/yr.

 

That is entirely possible. I'm not certain of all of their off season moves to this point. I am only factoring in the Rondo / Kostas acquisitions and the Landry / Stauskas / Thompson trade so there is likely something I'm missing.

 

Yeah I'm pulling figures from hoopshype so not sure if my numbers off. Taking out Landry/Thompson/Stauskas/(Williams cap hold) and then adding koufos/rondo/belinelli leaves 17-18m in cap.

Pretty sure I'm missing something but not sure what.

 

I missed the Belinelli signing.

Kosta - 4 yrs / 33 mil
Rondo - 1 yr / 9.5 mil
Belinelli - 3 yr / 19 mil

So that is about ~23 million for next season

 

He needs another 2-3 years with us before he sheds off jinx status.

 

Rockets can't do that. They can only execute an S/T for 2.49 M with Smith.

 

Ah that's right i forgot about that.

So bima just said this guy bobby marks is a good follow on Twitter to give updated cap space info on teams.

https://twitter.com/bobbymarks42/status/617523429235888128

Here's his latest update that has the Kings space at $7.7m.

Teams w/ Space: DEN (6.5), DET (3.8), IND (13.1), LAL (5.1), MIL (3.7), ORL (17.4), PHI (15.7), PHX (6.9), POR (24.3), SAC (7.7), UTH (9.4)

 

I think he tweeted that shortly BEFORE the Koufos signing was announced. So the Kings may well be largely out of cap room.

 

Cool the exact info I was looking for.

 

thank you! that's ver interesting. but btw it's only aproximate so don't take it as face value. i.e mil has 5-7 mil in capspace depending what they do with the tpe. Lal has to count also the trade kicker. etcetc


so lets see this list now
Den : rebuilding and has problems with characters. Brought over Jokic. Unlikely to be interested.
Det : no lol
Indy : could be interested because they have a hole in pf.
Lal: could be interested
Mil: need a forward but i will be shocked if interested
Orl : they wanted milsap but hennigan has a type for players character. he won't be interested.
Phil : looking to absorb more contracts and get some marginal backcourt talent. not interested
phx : could be interested because they are desperate.
por : should talk to gsw to absorb lee for looney other than that..doubt it they are interested.
sac: interested
utah : shouldn't be interested but they were looking for a big to add..

so i guess it's sac, indy , lal, phoenix and who knows about portland. that's who i think should be interested. but it sounds good so far. they shouldn't offer more than 5 per.

 

Awesome thanks Bima! Love how you make this board more educated and informed....

 

Thanks. I think it's only a matter of time before Josh Smith joins the Kings.

His absence will hurt us a lot.

 

If Bima is right and the Kings are out of cap space. Who would even be in consideration for J Smoove? Ind? Maybe Lal?

 

Is it the rockets, or is it josh smith waiting to agree to the bird right deal. To me it's a no brainier for the rockets to try and keep smith at that that low of a price.

I can't see him going to sac, that makes no sense for him. Talk about a coaching mismatch.
