It’s been a wild first few days of free agency for the Sacramento Kings. They were raked over the coals for their decision to deal Nik Stauskas, Carl Landry, Jason Thompson and a future first round pick to the 76ers for cap space. Armed with nearly $26 million to spend, the Kings swung and missed on Monta Ellis and Wes Matthews, despite offering more than the Pacers and Mavericks respectively. It was starting to look bleak for new front man Vlade Divac.
He didn’t land an A-list free agent on Friday afternoon, but the 7-foot Serb began the process of increasing the talent level of the team.
