Well that's what is so interesting about that article. Look, the Kings are looking at 53,516,093 without a resigned Bibby and that first round draftee. While surely they'll want to keep their core together the question asked is, are the maloofs willing to spend close to 17 million per year on Bibby? Bibby has become one of if not THE most important part of the team and surely they'll want to resign him (and with Falk as an agent you'l know it will be very close to the maximum).
Without Bibby resigned they're hovering close to the luxury tax border, so it's practically whatever they sign Bibby to they'll have to spend that amount on luxury tax as well. Sacramento is a very small market and 17 mil is alot of money.
Solution, trade someone of your roster for an ending contract and in comes the trusted Rev Chollie as a solution. Just a thought guys, nothing more. I really like the fact that this changed NBA environment gives the strapped n capped out Knicks a relief for a change with the possible high trade value for Ward just because he's in the last year of his contract (through the 100k buyout) that could get a really good player over here.
