This worries me a little bit.  Don't get me wrong, I think the team should be spending money this offseason; we have the most cap space in the league.

But just because we have the most cap space doesn't mean we should go on a spending spree if its not warranted.  While spending extravagantly can boost your team's fortunes in the short term, it can be just as bad (if not worse) in the long term as choosing to not spend at all.

There aren't any marquee names out there in free agency this year like there were last year either.  The best ones are either restricted (meaning the teams with their rights can match all offers) or past their prime.  That isn't saying there aren't players that wouldn't be useful for the Kings to get, but we shouldn't be breaking the bank for most of these guys.

This doesn't mean the Kings can't take advantage of their cap space in other ways; I'm all in favor of a trade for a proven player that brings more money in than we take out.  Who knows what will happen with a new CBA?  The Kings have the most flexibility out of anyone and could perhaps be well prepared to take advantage of trade situations where teams have to get rid of salary and can't ask for much in return.

So spend if you will Maloofs, but spend with the future in mind.
