    They have to decline it in order to chase a Max player. I don't think they would accept it thinking they could get a decent pull for the expiring next season when they could just decline and make a run for a max player.

    Yes, he has not played as well as the Kings hoped. He is a bit older and they were expecting 12-15 pts and 8-10 Rebs from day 1. However he had a very slow start and had difficulty understanding Sacramento's offense and was out of place on defense.

    However, if you look at his production for the minutes given it is still promising. Further, we really didn't lose anything special. Morris and Patterson were not in the long term plays and Douglas was gone after this season. We get Garcia and Honeycutt both of will be free agents.

    I don;t trust Sacramento's ability to judge talent. Anyways, Sacramento is a black hole of talent. That franchise just destroys careers. I wouldn't put to much stock in whatever he did in Sacramento.

    Who cares if Robinson can't shoot as well?

    Scoring was never the problem! We needed more HUSTLE & REBOUNDING.

    Robinson locked in till 2016-2017 season too with the highest salary at 6 million in the last season.

    Another great contract.

    And how many Rockets players from before this season do we have? Is Parsons the only one? What a fast and fun turnaround...

    That last season is the qualifying offer which we don't have to give if he still sucks by then
