Kings Plan To Offer Four Years, Nearly $90MM To Harrison Barnes
June 28th, 2019 at 12:25pm CST by Luke Adams
The Kings are working toward a deal with free agent forward Harrison Barnes that would be worth approximately $88MM over four years, according to Carmichael Dave of The Drive 1140 (via Twitter).

Marc Stein of The New York Times corroborates the report, tweeting that he has heard Sacramento plans to offer Barnes a four-year contract worth nearly $90MM when free agency opens on Sunday.

Barnes, 27, was traded from the Mavericks to the Kings at February’s trade deadline in the third year of the four-year, maximum-salary contract he signed with Dallas back in 2016. For the season, he recorded 16.4 PPG and 4.7 RPG with a .420/.395/.824 shooting line in 77 games (32.9 MPG).

Barnes had a player option for the 2019/20 season that would have paid him more than $25MM, but opted to turn it down. Based on today’s update, it’s clear why he went in that direction — if he and the Kings finalize an agreement in the four-year, $90MM range, it wouldn’t be quite worth $25MM annually, but it would give him substantially more long-term security than his option would have.

When the Kings acquired Barnes from Dallas during the season, reports indicated that the team viewed him as its answer at small forward. However, head coach Dave Joergerended up frequently using his new acquisition at the four. Presumably, Sacramento’s front office and new head coach Luke Walton are aligned on how to best use Barnes going forward.

Even if they complete a deal with Barnes, the Kings should have significant cap room left over to address other positions, including center. Sacramento’s exact cap-room figure will hinge on what they do with potential restricted free agent Willie Cauley-Stein and non-guaranteed guard Yogi Ferrell, among others. But the club could theoretically get up to $40MM+ in space after signing Barnes.

The Kings have been linked to free agent centers like Al Horford, Brook Lopez, and Nikola Vucevic, as well as veteran point guard Patrick Beverley. They should still have the flexibility to pursue a center and Beverley after locking up Barnes.

He joined a team which had 1 MVP caliber player and 2 perennial all-stars.

Kawhi would be joining two other MVP caliber players. All three players can legitimately be argued as top 5 players in the NBA.

But if you prefer quantity over quality argument then that's cool.

No, but none of those Warriors were 35 years old either. Regardless, the only thing ruined was the Rockets, lol.

Kings gonna King, I guess. Then again, I haven't seen Barnes play in quite a while...is he remotely worth this?

LOOOOOOL. That would be the most Kings thing ever to bid against themselves for Harrison Barnes.

Dude is worth 4 years 60M at BEST.

oohhhh, the insanity...

and the answer is no...

 

[CitySushi]

He's a less productive Andrew Wiggins. What would you pay him? LOL.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Kings gonna King, I guess. Then again, I haven't seen Barnes play in quite a while...is he remotely worth this?

He was alright but tbh I didn't watch many Kings games.

33 mpg 14.3 ppg 5.5 rpg 1.9 apg 45% from field 40% from on 5 attempts.That's OK but worth over $22M a year...nah lol. Probably one of those deals you look at in a couple years and say, "I'd rather pocket that 22M a year and see what else we could have acquired"

 

[Shanemansj13]

It's not like the Kings are magically going to lure FA's to Sac-town though so I understand the move, it's just...it's Harrison Barnes cmon

 

[Shanemansj13]

LOOOOOOL. That would be the most Kings thing ever to bid against themselves for Harrison Barnes.

Yeah $15M is OK. but honestly maybe $12-14 and that is solid starter/role player money right there.

 

[CitySushi]

Yeah $15M is OK. but honestly maybe $12-14 and that is solid starter/role player money right there.

Yeah, I'm inflating the figure due to the absurd amount of teams with cap space. But I'd be most comfortable with him at about 4-50 range.

 

[shopson67]

I could be wrong...but unless Kawhi is willing to take less, the Lakers still may not have enough. Isn't he due something like $35 million per? So he'd have to take less. Not unprecedented, but not sure why he'd do that.

If he leaves the Raptors, the most he can get is $32.7M (same as Kyrie, Klay, Butler, etc; they are all eligible for 30% of the cap). Durant is eligible for 35%, DLo 25%.

4/88m sounds like a 2016 signing
