Description
The Kings are on the books for $55 M heading into next season. The team doesn’t have any really egregious contracts on the roster, so most of the guys are earning their paychecks.
Mike Bibby has 3-years/$40.5 M remaining on his contract, and with an EPM of .461, he’s not far off the league average for $/EFF. Still, the team should try to use him as more of a distributor and allow him to be a little choosier in his shot selection. His 43% shooting and 5.4 assists per game are way off his career highs of 47% and 8.4 assists, respectively. He’s only 28, so he’ll be effective through the remainder of his contract.
Ron Artest is signed for two more years at an average cost of $7.5 per season. This is a terrific value for what Artest does on the floor. His EPM (.403) is surprisingly low, but that number doesn’t take into account the defensive toughness that he brings to the team. The most disturbing thing about Artest’s year was his dismal 38% shooting from the field. He took five three-pointers per game for the Kings, which is far too many considering his 31% career accuracy from behind the arc. Artest should be the team’s main low post threat – he should be able to bully most swingmen on the block.
