The Sacramento Kings seem to be set with their front court and will need to upgrade the point guard, shooting guard and small forward position in free agency.
Sources have confirmed to Cowbell Kingdom that the Kings are among the teams interested in 24-year-old restricted free agent, Allen Crabbe from the Portland Trail Blazers.
Ian Begley of ESPN.com was the first to report it.
// Crabbe will most likely want anywhere from $54-60 million on a four-year contract from any team interested in his services. If Sacramento wants to be a real player in the Crabbe sweepstakes, they will probably have to offer him $57 million to even be considered, sources tell Cowbell Kingdom.
With that said, Portland is really under the cap and I can’t imagine them not matching most offers from other teams. It would make sense to keep their young core together and continue to add talent in hopes of taking another step forward in the playoffs next season.
Crabbe averaged 10.3 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.2 assists off the bench last season on 39.3 percent from beyond the arc. He had solid performances in both playoff series’ against the Los Angeles Clippers and the Golden State Warriors. He is young, athletic and would be a major upgrade on the Kings’ depleted roster.
July 1 is when free agents can begin to speak with teams but can’t sign a contract until July 7.
