Get Out Your Checkbooks

Some posting's from the Reignmakers front office today...

The team has made the contracts of Andy Kempf, Ryan Stuver, and Clinton Weigel all guaranteed.

Stuver and Weigel will receive $1.75 million ensured while Kempf will receive a touch more with $1.8.

Also, veteran big man Kerry Hunter has inked another year onto his vet's minimum deal. The Reignmakers added another year and an impressive $4 million onto his contract. The center is currently making $567,000, which is the league set veteran minimum for one year.

Other news and notes: The team will not be persuing contract talks with recently waived NBA'er Joe Alexander, as some reports had the Reignmakers possibly reaching out to the 24 year old forward.

"Not at this time," Coach Jason Hunter said in a phone interview. "He is awaiting other offers from higher bidders and teams with a higher standing professionally. And right now, we are extremely happy with who we can put on the floor at any given moment. We do have cap space to spare with only nine currently on our roster, but we do not feel the need to look to add anyone at this point in time."

The team is also in talks with various commercial marketing firms to figure out "promo nights" for some of their games. They would either take place at the end of this year or beginning next year.

"The fans deserve it. They come out every night and give great support," Hunter said, "We owe it to them to try to give back a little, not just on the scoreboard."

The Reignmakers have on average 3.8 fans per night. Which ranks them in the top half of the division.

See you Sunday.
