If Brandon Roy were to get amnesty'd, would you guys want to pick him up? How would he fit?

 

[Deleted member 38182]

No. Highest bid I would throw in is 25% and no higher.

I was thinking though, if Dalembert decides he wants to go to Miami and needs a S+T, would you guys want Mike Miller

Of course our SFs would be a mess but still....

 

[notaclevaname]

I thought our pick was top 10 protected?

 

[nicedudewithnicedreams]

Roy is nice, but Tyreke is nicer. 

I doubt Paul Allen will okay letting Roy go so soon. The last GM got fired for wanting to trade Roy last year.

Mike Miller tends to play well on bad teams. He will do fine on the Kings. But honestly, he is the type that would rather come off the bench and the Kings got enough perennial back-up SFs.

Nay to Mike Miller. I'd rather try to sign Shane Battier, can knock down the open 3 and defends well.

Marcos Breton: City parking funds could bring $200 million to arena fund, sources say

According to multiple sources familiar with the details, the city of Sacramento may be able to tap as much as $200 million, or slightly more, in parking revenue to fund a downtown arena to house the Kings.

The figure, confirmed Tuesday by sources requesting anonymity because studies are not yet public, offers a first glimpse of a financial analysis scheduled to be aired at a City Council meeting on Dec. 13.

After years of failed funding attempts, the possibility of selling or leasing parking revenue to private vendors for a substantial price could be the last hope of building an arena, keeping the Kings in Sacramento and boosting downtown in the process.

Publicly, the price tag of a new arena has been set at $387 million, but it could go higher. Doesn't it always?

A Sacramento arena deal would require significant financial contributions from a private developer, and the city is negotiating with Los Angeles-based AEG.

It also remains unknown how much the NBA or the Kings would contribute to the project.

There are legal and political issues also to be resolved, such the question of whether Sacramento could use revenue from street meters to fund an arena.

The meters make up about a quarter of the $200 million or more that might be generated from parking revenue. Is it legal to use that money for private use?

In addition, Sacramento's parking assets were funded with tax-exempt bonds that would have to be paid back to the tune of about $50 million.

Sacramento's general fund gets about $10 million a year from parking revenue, money that would have to be replaced somehow for a cash-strapped city in need of each and every dime it collects.

All of these issues present political challenges to a Sacramento City Council forced to go it alone because, despite the veneer of regionalism in the effort to build an arena, no other city or county has skin in the game. This is true despite the fact the region would benefit from a new arena.

Regionalism is an empty word around here.

So Sacramento is not only looking to raise money with parking funds, but it may sell public lands and lease signs and cellular towers, among other ideas, to finance an arena.

This underscores why some cities pass sales tax increases to build arenas or stadiums. A sales tax is a reliable, sustainable revenue stream, but you can't even have that discussion in anti-tax Sacramento.

Regardless, it will be interesting if the NBA adopts its usual mercenary posture, given how a financially struggling city is straining to make this deal happen.

If it doesn't happen, it won't be because of Sacramento. It will be because the NBA and the Kings bolted for a more favorable deal.

 

[tyrekeevans]

the kings need a SF/PF combo...maybe a thaddeus young or tayshaun prince?

 

[swizzc]

we need a big man... i honestly wouldnt be upset if we reupped sammy at 8mil per if we swing and miss on gasol and nene (which is highly likely)

 

[Deleted member 38182]

What if the Kings went after Andrei Kirilenko?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?

 

[lightweight champion]

I still want Sammy D if we can't land Gasol or Nene.

 

[Deleted member 38182]

IDK, I feel like Sammy doesn't really add much

Yes his D is appreciated but on offense he stinks and I doubt he is much a of veteran presence around our young guys

 

[tsamshox]

Marc Gasol

Marc Gasol and DMC gotta be the most unathletic front court ever

 

[mister916]

If we get Gasol. I think we have a good chance of landing him.

 

[pmatic]

You don't.

 

[Deleted member 38182]

Get outta here Lakers fan!

 

[blackxme]

Alright fellas what Sac and Rockets deal do you  foresee? 

 

[Deleted member 38182]

I got you.

Cisco for Budinger+Thabeet

Im just messing.

Idk how the hell we are gonna give out 17 mil to meet the minimum cap

 

[do work son]

Must cop jimmer jersey

 

[Deleted member 38182]

I'm trying to get my girl to get me the new alternate jersey of Jimmer when it comes out

 

[Deleted member 38182]

Wait.... are we really trying to move Demarcus to PF full time???

 

[xx name brand xx]

Just let Tyreke drive and Jimmer shoot all day. DMC will develop hopefully. They need a legitimate center though or they won't get to the playoffs. That's how you win in the West (Wilt, Kareem, Robinson, Duncan, Shaq, Hakeem etc.). Sac would eat for the next 3 seasons with Chandler, maybe even Oden.

Also, Isaiah Thomas has to come off the bench and be a go to 6 man. He needs to be a lockdown defender, and to average at least 3 assists.
