I don't think any final decisions have been made, but I think the idea is to let Winslow run the point more often.
Point Winslow conveniently allows Jimmy to ball dominate.

That's definitely possible. To be fair though, Winslow played the best ball of his career at PG last year.

Dragic will get starts at PG. No way Jimmy stays healthy. They are lucky Winslow is versatile.

Spo changes his lineup and rotation so frequently, and both of those guys are locks to miss 20 games or so, so they'll both their chance. I think Riley would love to trade Dragic's expiring, but I don't think his chances are great.

Yeah. Interesting strategy by Washington.

So Woj says that Beal could get a $266 million contract in 2022 if he declines his option for that year. The max contract can't survive the next CBA, can it?

Not under its current configuration. If I had to guess they would change it where it only 80 percent of it counts towards the cap number, or something like that.

So glad they locked up Brown. I think that will prove to be a great move for Danny.

I'm assuming that's if he hits all his incentives. He's worth 4/80 but its not my money so who cares? Hopefully with him and Smart getting paid they won't press for stats this year and accept a role.

Sacramento tax. Also, he's a really hard worker and shot the three at an elite level last year.

Yeah, someone else would have given him a huge deal if he was restricted.

Who is the player better than Buddy willing to sign for the Kings that they could hand that bag to?
