what is the Kings getting? This deal SUCKS for them.
No way. They are shedding salary like a mother excellent move by the Kings
i guess the question then is: are they getting ENOUGH for their players outside the of the cap space. And, who are they going to sign?
You got teams like Sacratomato and Memphis shedding salary and getting beneath the cap which is all fine and good. But as Martin said, who the hell is going to sign to these two non-descript teams?

It's not about who are they going to sign, it's all about having the flexibility to build back your team. Sacramento has no shot at winning a championship on their present path and being that they are capped out, (without these trades) they have little flexibility to make moves which would put them over the top. In other words, they would be just like the Knicks, wasting their fans time while they dik around in mediocrity.
Now they will suck for 2-3 years, get lottery picks AND when they feel the team is ready, the Kings can go out and add some free agents or make a trade(s) for a player(s) that fits in with their new style. And just because they will have cap space next season, doesn't mean they have to spend it!!! That is Isiah Thomas thinking. You don't spend just because you have money, you spend because the players fit into your team.
