[richiemcfly]

Once the Kings complete the Casspi signing, they will have 14 players under contract while sitting just $61.052 under the tax line.

This front office has no direction, they just sign players to sign players.

I hope you guys didn't expect to make the playoffs this year

Besides a couple of assets i.e. Boogie, Nik, Bmac, and gay, maybe ray mac?

We don't really have many assets, no one wants to trade for our garbage i am surprised pete pulled off the gay trade. Plus Casspi is only signed for a year not the end of the world

 

[richiemcfly]

brah

We ain't doin' diddly poo this year. Assuming we pickup McLemore and Acy next year we're only on the books for $36 million. Derrick Williams will not be a king in '15-'16 season, guy just reminds me of a poor man's Michael Beasley.

 

[rck3sactown]

This is certainly good news... And explains alot on why he ownership doesn't seem to care about our current spending a

Kings officials would not discuss the financial details of the agreement, but the Sports Business Journal reported the deal was worth between $690 million and $700 million – or an average of $35 million a year. The team’s previous deal with Comcast was pegged at about $11 million a year.

we moving on up

The Sports Business Journal reported that the Kings’ deal is comparable to television deals held by other NBA teams.
The report said the Cleveland Cavaliers are paid $25 million a year by FS Ohio and that the Miami Heat make $20 million a year from Sun Sports. The Los Angeles Clippers were paid $25.8 million last year by Prime Ticket, according to the Sports Business Journal.

What the hell 

Kings are making more than the Heat and Clippers?

how did Vivek pull this sorcery off?!?!?

 

[daprescription]

I'm sure it's because this is a new deal and we strong sure when the Clippers and Heat made those deals.

[rck3sactown]

I think he meant to say "we aren't sure when..."

which is a good point

i know lol

similar to when kings sold the naming rights to arco back in the 80s for i believe a whooping $1 million for the duration of that deal

fast forward 15- 20 years $1 million was just the tip of the ice berg when compared to the rest of the league

You really couldn't make out what I was trying to type before autocorrect obliterated it?

Wasn't Arco Arena the first arena/stadium to sell it's naming rights?

Also, the average of the new TV deal is $35mil, starting at $25mil.

So it seems like they are taking into account future TV deals and revenues going up, so thats nice forward thinking.
