DECEMBER 20: The move is official, tweets James Ham of NBC Sports.
DECEMBER 19: The Kings will release center/power forward Frank Kaminsky, tweets Shams Charania of The Athletic. Kaminsky signed a one-year deal with the team earlier this month that carries a $50K guarantee.
Kaminsky, 27, got into 39 games with the Suns last season, averaging 9.7 points and 4.5 rebounds in about 20 minutes per night. He was the ninth pick in the 2015 draft and spent the previous four years in Charlotte.
The Kings are now down to 17 players on their camp roster and will need to make at least one more move before Monday’s deadline. They have 14 fully guaranteed contracts, along with Glenn Robinson III, Chimezie Metu and one player on a two-way deal.
Robinson will make the final roster, according to James Ham of NBC Sports (Twitter link), so Sacramento may decide to waive Metu and re-sign him to fill the other two-way slot. Metu’s contract isn’t an Exhibit 10 deal, so it can’t be directly converted into a two-way contract.
Another great pick by Michael Jordan
Right?!? Worst executive in the NBA.
Look at the front office he learned from lol
Maybe LeBron can be an NBA exec after he retires in a few years, then he can finally have a chance to be better than Michael Jordan at something.
LeFraud has already been the GM in Cleveland and LA.
lebum would trade the whole future of his team for a star who shrinks under pressure like him lmao!
Actually their recent rebuild is going very well.
His picks have been Washington bridges Graham in second round. You have to take Ball at 3.
For all the abuse that Jerry Krause got from MJ, Phil, etc ……. Krause was a damn good GM and scout – something which can’t be said of MJ and Phil.
In fact, MJ should be in running for the GOAT of worst-team owners ………. Phil was an absolute failure with the KNICKS.
Phil… Jackson? A rather successful HC with multiple teams.
Charlotte has drafted well the last three years, even into the second round. In theory— the team hasn’t won with them yet.
The previous 15 drafts, though, were not good. In 2011 CHA picked Kemba Walker & Tobias Harris, his highlight.
Neil5611 Rich Cho was the GM at that time, not Jordan. As the owner of course he had a role and say in the decision but trying to throw all the blame on him is pretty unfair. Somehow I doubt Cho and others were strongly against the decision but were just overruled.
No…Not Frank Kaminsky,
Detroit
Getting 50k for doing nothing sounds like a pretty good deal to me
