NBA free agency has slowed down finally and we review how our salary predictions compared to the deals that were actually signed throughout the league. We first give our thoughts on Russell Westbrook and Chris Paul swapping places and the affect that has on Sacramento's playoff hopes. Did the Kings overpay for their players, spend about market value, or get any steals, the best and worst deals that were inked, and players that are still available that the Kings could look towards. --- This episode is sponsored by · Talk Money With Mesh Lakhani Podcast: On The Talk Money with Mesh Lakhani podcast, Mesh will follow paper trails, chat with experts, and break down complex ideas to bring clarity to the mystical financial phenomena behind your finances. https://open.spotify.com/show/20gI5HoX4J0zlsCgnjqWoP?si=w8xX2XpITSuysd_xGiGQiQ · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/kingspulse/support

Free Agency: Reactions
Holy crap, the Kings killed it. What an amazing free agency, turning the team around in 24 hours and not getting themselves stuck with any clearly terrible contracts just to pull people to the city. A defensive minded PG in Cory Joseph, a veteran presence and 3&D wing in Trevor Ariza, a starting caliber big that does it all in Dewayne Dedmon, and some versatility and options at that Center positions in defensive player Richaun Holmes.
