Reports are that the Sacramento Kings will be using their $111m in cap space "aggressively" this free agency. They've already made max offers to several players including division rival players John Stoll and Quentin Kidd offering some off-book benefits such as a "wink-wink" agreement to make either a future mayor of Sac-town.
