The Kings talk a lot about making smart decisions in the offseason.
So would signing restricted free agent guard Zach LaVine to a four-year, $78 million offer sheet fall into that category?
Outside of the fact LaVine plays the same position where the Kings already have two players they like (Bogdan Bogdanovic, Buddy Hield), LaVine fits the criteria the Kings set for this free agency period.
LaVine, 23, can grow with the core that includes De'Aaron Fox, Harry Giles and Marvin Bagley III. The Kings did not want to tie up multiple years in older players, as they did last year with Zach Randolph and George Hill.
