Teams can officially line up to make their pitch to LeBron James. They'll try to woo Chris Bosh. They'll hope to entice Dwyane Wade. The Kings, for their part, will sit back and watch how it all plays out. At least eight teams are expected to have at least $10 million in salary cap space, including the Kings, who will have approximately $15 million to spend. But don't expect the Kings to go after the big names in this free-agent market. The Kings will make calls to address their needs in the backcourt, but won't spend a lot for the sake of it and ruin their financial flexibility for the future. The Kings like their young players from last season. The additions of veteran Samuel Dalembert in a trade from Philadelphia, and DeMarcus Cousins and Hassan Whiteside in the draft, make the wait-and-see approach sensible for the Kings. "If some of our players develop the way we'd like, you become a more attractive destination (for free agents)," said Kings basketball president Geoff Petrie. "So it might be where we wait another year and see the landscape." James, Bosh, Wade, Amar'e Stoudemire, Carlos Boozer and Joe Johnson are the big names this year. Dallas star Dirk Nowitzki reportedly will opt out of his deal, too, but he isn't expected to leave the Mavericks."---http://www.sacbee.com/2010/06/30/2859054/kings-wont-go-after-big-name-free.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 Very, very smart move from a financial standpoint. And not only will another year of of developing these young players help make Sacramento a mure lucrative destination, but seeing what Cousins can do on an NBA level will help them make a better informed decision on what future FA's will fit in best.

Newman Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 Besides OKC, I think that the Kings has the most potential to be a great team with the players they have at the moment. Good choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
