    I took some time to gather a list of guys I think would fit this roster next season as wing players. I'm not saying these guys are gettable, or that we'd even want to pay them what they'll want in the open market, just guys I think would fit.

    PGs:
    Chris Paul
    Brandon Jennings
    Jeff Teague
    Aaron Brooks

    SGs:
    Randy Foye
    JJ Redick
    Brandon Rush
    JR Smith
    Anthony Morrow
    Gerald Henderson
    Jodie Meeks
    Wayne Ellington

    SFs:
    Martell Webster
    Dorell Wright

I mean it wasn't just a good job pat on the back and then leave each other. It was at least 30 seconds and the camera stayed with them. I remembered asking myself "Do they know each other? Has he ever played for Monty somewhere? What could they be talking about?"

    Thats still my dream scenario, to double dip in Milwaukee, pick up Jennings and Sanders, wether through trade or outright singings, same year or back to back off seasons. Sanders next to AD would dominate the paint defensively and offensively Sanders doesn't require shots to contribute.

    No there are some RFA's as well. The three market isn't that good, but there are a lot of good 2's.

    Man I'm not even greedy. Sign Teague, draft Porter and call it an offseason. I'd be totally happy

    I'm not sure why but I get a feeling we sign Tyreke Evans this offseason... it's pretty unsettling. This Free agency class and the amount of cap space we have makes me super nervous.

    I like Evans. I think his game is underrated and his flaws are way overblown.

    I do too, but I feel like we'll overpay him.

    Don't be surprised because he's a bit forgotten more so in the last few years since he won ROY. Plus he fits the type of player Monty and Dell seem to covet, versatile players who can play more than one position.

    Not sure how I would feel with Tyreke on the squad. Not exactly the person I would target personally but then again there's not a lot out there.

    Tyreke would be a nice get. I would be fine with grabbing him for the right price.

    I don't think we overpay. I'm not sure there's a huge list of teams calling for his service.

    I wouldn't mind Foye to come off the bench if we rid ourselves of Vasquez and move Rivers to the starting 1 this year.

    "I don't know if people know — I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"

    His skillset would be nice on this team. He can defend, get to the line, attack the basket/slash, handle the ball, create, rebound, and can play 3 positions. He gets a lot of flak for not developing into a superstar and improving his game to the level of his peers but he's still a very talented player who has done everything the Kings asked him to do since day 1.

    Tyreke is a beast and has insane handles for someone his size, his jumper is improving and he is only 23 and i think it will keep improving, only problem is him and rivers are similar as in they are big PG's that are better w the ball in their hands and arent good off the ball, so are we saying we put tyreke at the point and gordon at the 2? or tyreke at SF's

    this team has tried to get Brandon Rush before... could come cheap coming off missing a year

    Evans has been playing a lot of off ball this year. He's having the best year since his rookie season. Evans makes a great #3 option on a playoff caliber team. I have a feeling Sacramento will resign him seeing his development this season.

    My biggest drawback with Evans is that he can't spread the floor. We need someone who can do that besides Ryno.

    Well crap. Now that I look at it, Evans may only shoot 31% from three, but he shoots 39% in spot up situations.

    18% in iso, 27% in the p&r, 11% in transition, and then better percentages in situations he doesn't really take all that much.

    Kind of tells me he has poor shot selection.

    Free Agents this offseason

    Besides cousins no one else really to take shots. If you give him some structure on offense he'd be fine imo

    His shot selection is actually pretty good this year. Most of his shots are at the basket where 65% of his shots comes from.
