The Sacramento Kings are signing guard Daeqwon Plowden to a two-year contract, according to HoopsHype.

The 27-year-old signed a two-way contract last July. He went on to finish with 10.8 points, 3 rebounds, 1.3 assists in 26 minutes per game for the Kings. He played in 32 games and started in 7. His minutes increased down the stretch of the season as the injuries piled up for the Kings. Plowden averaged 14.2 points, 3.1 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1 steal over the final 17 games of the season.

Congrats to Daeqwon!

Perry on a hot streak with all these major signings! He’s gonna turn this team’s fortunes around 360 degrees!

OK. 360 brings you back to where you started. How about 180?

They’re doing a good job of building a lottery team which is what they should do. A couple of these vets need to go, this team needs to prioritize minutes for the young guys.

I am glad for a young person who will receive an opportunity for lifetime wealth. I hope he has wise mentors and advisors.

Nothing worse than building a lottery team when the lottery rules have changed .

Congrats to Daeqwon. I’m sure he has worked his butt off to get a contact by age 28. Hard work pays off.

That being said, what the fuck is with Perry’s obsession with shooting guards? Kings now have LaVine, Monk, Nique, Flagler, Sharp, and Plowden who are all best as an off guard. They are now a 14 rostered players on have just one true PG in Acuff. DDR is still on the roster and the Kings are over the first apron.

The previous guy seemed to be obsessed with combo guards, which makes you wonder if it’s the GM.

He will be a serviceable role player and we aren’t patient enough to develop player, like he and Davion.

Davion was a lottery pick, Queta was a second round flier. That’s the exact reason we will never win, because those fliers that turn into serviceable role players and then some, always “fly” right away from Vivek and this shitty run organization

“Always”? I’d say some have hit, and other 2nd round guys were out of the league real quick.

But just think how much younger the roster will be once DDR gets released!

That sucks. SL is kind of an ideal format for an older senior to show out.

Decent two-way player with more room to grow, I like it.

Congrats to Trey Lyles working his way back to the league with the Wolves. I think that is a good fit on that team.

That’s tradeable, waivable, keepable, whateverable. He showed a bit last year, I’m good despite his age.

If he sucks, it’s the kind of contract that gets our friend C. Considerations back in some other deal.
