    BREAKING: Kings center Willie Cauley-Stein wants out of Sacramento. Cauley-Stein's agent tells me Willie would prefer to become an unrestricted free agent so he can pursue other opportunities.

    Dude can fo everything Capela does for a lot cheaper. How do we get this dude instead?

    I thought I'd read that WCS was looking to get p-a-y-d, paid, but who knows how much that would be anyway.

    WCS is worth 9.2 million a year.

    House loves to be unrestricted.

    As others have already pointed out, in training camp WCS uttered the much reported line of ", “I’m ready to get paid,".

    I agree that he'd be a great fit, I'm just not sure that he'd be cheap.

    (a) WCS plays no defence

    (b) like non.


    Ok, so with that out of the way, WCS is probably getting paid $10mill plus if he becomes a UFA. A young mobile big guy who had a breakout season to go 12 and 9 with 2.5 assists per game - he'll get paid. Definitely is not worth anything close to what Capela offers (and I hope we move Capela for something decent!!)

    Still different teams with the need of a center and cap space out there.

    Atlanta
    Boston
    Washington
    Dallas
    L.A teams
    San Antonio

    Seems also an interesting target for Presti if he wants to swap Adams with a cheaper center.

    The chance he gets paid as much as Capela is not small, although who knows...at least at some high level he's definitely less proven.

    If Horford is 114 million, Jordan should be 3years 60 million.
    Everyone here likes horford.

    What is crazy about WCS, is that the Kings are looking for a center in FA that can play with their up tempo offense and be a defensive anchor for them. Looking for someone that looks the part like........WCS. So you have to ask yourself, why isn't WCS making the Kings want to keep him?

    Maybe he is one of those players that "look the part" but doesn't do it on the floor like Andrew Wiggins.

    He is offensively inconsistent, quirky off the court and not playing D like he did for Kentucky.

    FWIW, Kings fans say he is soft when playing near the rim.
