Final Thoughts: For an organization that had no idea what they were doing (according to national media), the Kings sure got a lot better, at least on paper. In exchange for Landry, Thompson, Stauskas, and possibly a few draft picks, the Kings got in return Belinelli, Rondo, Koufos, Casspi, and Butler.
The Kings biggest deficiencies from last season (in my opinion) were their lack of shooting, defense, and IQ. I think its safe to say that the Kings addressed each of those problems and have upgraded immensely during this free agency period. So in conclusion, well done Vlade. Not too bad of a first offseason for an “amateur”.
