    9 mil a year isn’t bad value at all for a big man like Theis.
    Olynyk just got 12.3 mil per year and isn’t as good as Theis defensively.

    The Theis contract isn’t an albatross and that 9 mil per year salary will be excellent in matching salary for trades in a couple years

    I'm not mad but the dollar amount feels too high. Ok big men are a dime a dozen.

    Get a grip man lol.

    It's important to have good veterans to build a team. This is a good salary for a decent player.

    Good contract, Wood probably won't be resigned and he will provide a veteran presence during the rebuild.

    Is the fourth year a team option?

    Hoping for some news on that fourth year. Really shouldn't be guaranteed.

    Daniel Theis IS a better defensive guy then Kelly but with Garuba and Tate we need a Noel or Holmes....

    the Kings have gone the route of bringing in a bunch of young players with no vet leadership and look how they’ve turned out.

    we need to establish a culture of earning your minutes not just because you got drafted

    Just wait 11.9 more months until Stone cashes in as many assets as it takes for Paulo Banchero

    Theis always impressed me when he was with the Celtics. Made a lot of smart, winning plays. Celtics fans missed him dearly when he left;

    Meh likely won’t be an issue to unload him when we need max cap space in a couple of years which is all that really matters.
