The agent for Willie Cauley-Stein has encouraged the Sacramento Kings to allow his client to become a unrestricted free agent.
"I'm hopeful they will not even give Willie his qualifying offer so Willie can be an unrestricted free agent." Roger Montgomery of Roc Nation Sports told the Sacramento Bee.
The 7-foot Cauley-Stein has played all four of his NBA seasons in Sacramento since it took him sixth overall in the 2015 draft. With his rookie contract expiring this month, he would become a restricted free agent -- giving Sacramento the ability to match offers from other teams -- if the Kings first extend a $6,265,631 million qualifying offer by June 30.
