The Kings have signed another two-way player today, making a deal with Adam Flagler, a 6’3 guard who spent the last two seasons with the Oklahoma City Thunder.  Flagler was undrafted out of Baylor back in 2023 and has played in just 39 career games.  In college he was known as a premiere outside shooter, averaging 39.6% from three over four years on almost 780 total attempts.  However in the NBA he has only shot 19.2% from distance, albeit with no consistent playing time and mostly in garbage time.

With the addition of Flagler and Jonathan Mogbo earlier, two of Sacramento’s three two-way slots are now filled.  The Kings also announced their roster for the upcoming California Classic today as well:

The Kings will be fielding a team that features rookies Darius Acuff Jr., Alex Karaban, Emanuel Sharp, as well as sophomores Dylan Cardwell, Nique Clifford and Isaiah Stevens (a two-way player last season).  The California Classic takes place from July 4th-July 6th, with the Kings playing against the Bucks, Nets and Warriors.  Kings assistant Chris Darnell will coach the roster.

Outside of the roster regulars and newcomers Mogbo and Flagler, here’s a little about the rest of the roster:

  • Anthony Dell’Orso – Undrafted 2026 rookie guard out of Arizona but originally from Australia.  Solid but not spectacular outside shooter.
  • BJ Edwards – Undrafted 2026 rookie guard out of SMU.  Led the ACC in steals, was also a solid jack of all trades player and posted two triple-doubles in his senior year.
  • Haowen Guo – The top scoring Chinese-born player in China last season at 20.6 points per game. Point Forward who gets to the line a bunch.
  • Viktor Lakhin – Russian born big who spent three years at Cincinnati and one at Clemson and last year with the Oklahoma City Blue.  Can shoot a little bit and is a solid rim protector.
  • Mitch Mascari – Undrafted guard out of Drake and spent last season with the Stockton Kings.  Shot 41% from three on 5.6 attempts with Stockton over 36 games.
  • Elias Ralph – Undrafted wing from Canada who played two collegiate seasons with the University of the Pacific.  Good shooter and solid rebounder for his size.
  • Jamarion Sharp – Undrafted 7’5 big from Ole Miss who has spent the last two seasons in the G League with the Texas Legends.  Elite rim protector who averaged 3.8 blocks a game in just 24.9 minutes last year.
  • Marquel Sutton – Undrafted forward from LSU.  Defensive minded wing who can guard multiple positions but doesn’t have much range.

That trade and us signing Flagler on the same day. Quite the whirlwind day in the NBA!

I’ve been thinking for a while now as well. Kings got two free and clear unprotected picks at the time of the trade, plus the Hornets’ one that turned into 2 seconds. They contract they got was LaVine. Celtics, however get the same draft capital and eat PG13? That’s nuts.

The new CBA is going to make teams think very hard about taking on a max contract for anyone who isn’t a perennial All-NBA player. The second apron is effectively a hard cap.

But Brown is a perennial All-Star, and All-NBA, and a Finals MVP. All I can guess is he is really disliked behind closed doors and everyone in the league knows it.

I’ve been saying this for a minute. You can no longer give non-superstars max money. It’s also why I’d stay clear of Duren if that’s all he’ll take.

Great trade for Philly, simply getting out of PG’s contract and getting JB is a win, and two FRPs isn’t too steep a price.

JB: 3/$183, 29 yo
PG: 2/$110, 36 yo

I’d argue that BOS as currently constructed has no chance at a deep playoff run, teams in the East are leveling up, this isn’t the East that BOS dominated the whole JB/JT tenure.
I don’t get splitting the two when they made 5 ECFs and are both still young.

Philly now has a nice core of Maxey, Edge and JB.

The league has been incredibly active but Perry seems more interested in signing other team’s castoffs to two-way deals.

Everything he’s done the past few days seems intended to make it appear as if he’s being active while actually not doing anything meaningful. At this point he’s just polishing the turd.
