Sacramento Kings' contract spending this season has been roughly in line with what the market dictates — no major steals, but no egregious overpays either. Across 5 contracts, 0 grade out as good value and 0 look like overpays based on comparable deals around the league. The best bang-for-the-buck deal was Killian Hayes (C+) at $3.0M/yr. The priciest commitment relative to production was DaQuan Jeffries (C-) — the guard market may have been richer than the on-court return suggests. The spending approach is neither aggressive nor conservative — a wait-and-see approach from a cap perspective.
