Rodney Buford close to being gone
Quote:

The Nets expect to sign free-agent guard Rodney Buford within the next few days. A 6-5, 195-pound guard/forward, Buford has been in and out of the league since 1999. The Nets will be his fifth team in five NBA seasons. Last year, Buford saw limited action in Sacramento. ...

Yes, Buford is cool, just like Jabari Smith is cool, but I wouldn't think the team would go down the drains if we lost Jabari...

No real damage done with Buford and Anthony Peeler out of Sacramento
Quote:
Peeler, now with the Washington Wizards, led the NBA in three-point shooting last season, and the Kings could sorely use some perimeter help. But he threw the most ill-advised sucker punch in franchise history, and that resonated right on through the last minutes of the season.
His retaliation shot on Kevin Garnett in Game 6 of the Western Conference semifinals against the Minnesota Timberwolves cost him the rest of that game and all of Game 7, which the T-wolves won by three points at Target Center. Peeler cost his team valuable depth as Bobby Jackson was already out with a stomach injury, forcing Kings coach Rick Adelman to play Buford more than he ever expected.
A theme in the Kings' locker room later was that Peeler might have fared decently guarding Wally Szczerbiak, who had 10 second-quarter points in Game 7, all rather easily. What's more, Peeler made just 30 percent of his shots in the playoffs.
Peeler elected not to return for this coming season, with it being his player option, but you didn't hear any Kings players, coaches or management bemoan the loss. With the Wizards, Peeler will still be a backup and experience a ton of losses.
Now what? Do the Kings bring back Jon Barry, the guard who is puzzled the Nuggets haven't seriously pursued him? Barry, who made $3 million last season, has said he would play for the veteran minimum of $1.1 million.
Also, could Toni Kukoc wind up in Sacramento? He appears to be leaning toward a return to the Milwaukee Bucks.
Other free agents to ponder include Darius Miles of Portland, Matt Barnes of the Clippers and DeShawn Stevenson of the Orlando Magic. All are athletic but poor shooters.

I wish the writer of that article would have said how in the world we're supposed to afford Darius Miles...

You lost your heart, your soul, your powerhouse, to the future Eastern Conference Champions: The Washington Wizards.

Like I said before, the only meaningful shot Anthony Peeler hit in the playoffs was to KG's mug.
I take Kevin Martin/Ricky Minard/David Bluethenthal over Rodney Buford/Anthony Peeler/Jabari Smith
You have 3 young guys who will become staples of the Kings for the next decade most likely all in one off-season.
Now as long as they bring back Tony Massenburg, I think everything is all good.
