The term 'loser' doesn't quite apply to NBA free agency the way it used to. But some squads can't be entirely happy with their haul so far. johnhollinger makes distinctions and weighs in on the new CBA's role.
in a deal that gives him $195 million of new money and keeps him in royal purple for four more years.other team could have paid Sabonis next summer is $193 million, it was notable to see the Kings committing to $195 million right now. Usually when a team inks an extension a year out like this for a player who isn’t quite on the A-list, it can negotiate for more of a haircut on the extension years.
The Kings essentially went the opposite way and paid extra for the privilege of giving Sabonis a four-year max, including surrendering a first-round pick this year to clear the extra cap room. ; while he had a great year, he doesn’t have 29 other teams thirsting to acquire him. That’s because he’s a center and not a wing and not exactly a seamless fit on many contending rosters because youplay through him on offense and you can’t switch with him on defense.
Sacramento locked in that price a year earlier and gave up its first-round pick to do it; while the Kings will have Sabonis on a lower number the next four years than his true max, the difference isn’t large .And the lingering question is … was he really the kind of flight risk that they needed to lock in $50 million-plus for 2027-28
