I'm hardly the biggest LK fan, but for $6 mil a year you get a top level bench player. If he can cut down on thinking he's a superstar and play within a system (provided we have one), he can be a great attribute. Gets him a little financial stability and gives the Nugs a cheap(-ish) bench player. Also, if need be, that $6 mil price tag isn't high so he can be moved in a trade.
Now we just need to see if we're picking up Balkman's option before Friday. I hope we do, especially at $2.1 mil, but it wouldn't surprise me for the front office to let it go to keep our potential flexibility in check.
