Dear god, this is terrible business. Traded this guy for the right to draft Isaiah Mobley.
[Kings have 3-year deal with EuroLeague MVP Sasha Vezenkov – ESPN](https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/37943743/kings-3-year-deal-euroleague-mvp-sasha-vezenkov)
Per ESPN:
EuroLeague Most Valuable Player Sasha Vezenkov — a sharpshooting 6-foot-9 forward for Olympiacos in Greece — has agreed on a three-year, $20 million contract to join the [Sacramento Kings](https://www.espn.com/nba/team/_/name/sac/sacramento-kings), his agents, Mark Bartelstein and George Roussakis of Priority Sports and Nick Lotsos of Team Lotsos, tell ESPN.
Vezenkov is expected to play a formidable role with the emerging Western Conference-contending Kings.
The 27-year-old from Bulgaria is considered one of the world’s most consistent shot-makers. He’s a career 40% 3-point shooter in the EuroLeague and a remarkably efficient 63% shooter from 2-point range.
**The Kings acquired the draft rights to Vezenkov in a trade with the** [**Cleveland Cavaliers**](https://www.espn.com/nba/team/_/name/cle/cleveland-cavaliers) **for a second-round pick in last year’s draft.**

He’s exactly what we need 😭😭😭
Of course they did.
Fun Fact: Kevin Pangos was All-EuroLeague first team the season before we signed him.
I wouldn’t be too worried about this. Prospects from Europe are one thing, but veterans don’t have a great track record of suceeding in the NBA
Has Koby ever made a good draft decision outside of the top 5? He’s never hit on a second rounders and Sexton, Okoro, and Windler were all disappointing picks. He’s very good in FA but his draft record is suspect.l at best.
We have no idea how good this guy will be in the league. But drafting Isaiah Mobley was definitely good for business
Making Evan Mobley as happy as he can be is worth a role player… which isaiah could certainly become in the league

Is anyone actually surprised
Oh wow we can’t pay a 27 year old who was the 57th pick who’s never played in the NBA?
That’s a lot of money to commit to a guy who’s never played in the NBA. Maybe he’s good and we’re missing out, or maybe the Kings are crazy. Either way, I like Isaiah.
If you want to criticize the Cavs for anything, it’s picking up Cedi’s option only to have to add a 2nd rounder to get rid of him and have San Antonio absorb his money.
Now that’s stupid business. Especially when they picked it up and immediately we had reports that they are trying hard to offload him. Could’ve just parted ways, saved a pick, still done the Strus sign and trade.
Why are you worried? **Sasha Vezenkov** haven’t played an NBA game. Time will tell which player is better. And you can’t be serious that the Cavs will have less wins than the Kings in the years to come. Get serious, ya goof! lol
Koby deserves a raise
That mvp award as been around for 20 years. Only 4 winners have played meaningful minutes in the nba, Mirotić (after he retired), Kirilenko (during 2011 lockout), Anthony Parker (role player at best), and Luka before he was drafted. So really only 2 players, with only Luka being good. This guy is not Luka lol.
MVP is usually decent. We probably fucked up, forward too.
Bro have you even watched footage of this guy? This guy will not see a second contract in the NBA. Hell I’ll even go as far as saying he won’t even finish this current contract. His game is wonky. He’s not athletic and he’s playing for a defensive minded coach. When he’s riding pine the first year, he’ll ask the FO tear up his contract and let him go back to Europe. You guys can bookmark this. Save it. Do whatever. Koby has done a lot of questionable things. This is not one of them.
That seems pretty old for him to be an impact over in the NBA. Luca was 18 when he did that. Sergio was the MVP and never really did anything in the league. To me being the MVP at 22 or younger would mean more than say a 27yr old. Jan vesely was a total bust in the NBA and he was Euro MVP at 28-29.
Euro league is a lot different than nba
