How many roster spots do the Kings have after the first wave of free agency?

The Sacramento Kings have had a pretty busy free agency period. So far, they’ve re-signed Malik Monk and Alex Len, added Jordan McLaughlin to a minimum contract, and of course orchestrated a sign-and-trade for DeMar DeRozan.

(Sidebar: They also signed their first round pick Devin Carter and added two undrafted free agents in Isaiah Crawford – who we should all be very excited about – and Isaac Jones.)

How many roster spots do the Kings have left after all this action?

Before we answer that question, it’s important to explain the two types of roster spots that teams are allowed to carry. There are standard contracts and two-way contracts. According to the website CBA Breakdown, “A standard NBA contract is simply a uniform player contract that is not a two-way contract.”

Meanwhile, “A Two-Way Contract is the contract between a two-way player and an NBA team that pays him a two-way salary.” Players on two-way contracts are paid one salary rate when they play in the NBA and one rate when they play in the G-League. Each team is given 15 standard contract spots and three two-way contract spots.

According to Spotrac Salary Cap Expert Keith Smith, the Kings have one standard spot and zero two-way spots. For those wondering, here’s the full list of availability for all 30 teams:

Based on a recent Twitter message According to ESPN salary cap expert Bobby Marks, the Kings have the Non-Taxpayer Mid-Level Exception, the Bi-Annual Exception and a veteran minimum contract available as mechanisms to fill this final roster spot.

I don’t want to be that person (I’m writing this while trying to become that type of person), but if you want to see which potential candidates could fill the last spot on the list, I’ve included six of them in the article embedded below.
