    He probably doesn't want to come here, but man can he shoot. He would be setting records in RGV!

    He could get it. He can fill the Delfino role. Dude has been stuck in that awful franchise.

    Even if he wanted ... We have Beverley and Lin(and Canaan as 3rd).What more can he offer ? Better 3 Point percentage ? He can't guard anyone.

    Morey said after the Hamilton trade part of the reason for it was to give potential minutes to Canaan. Stop trying to justify the thread

    Do we even have any room for him?

    If so I'd take a look at him, he fits my system well.

    I bet the Lakers will scoop them up also, they're always looking for top 10-15 draft busts to start shining in LA; Kendall Marshall, Wesley Johnson, Jordan Hill, etc.

    I still hate them.

    I don't have to justify anything. Just an option that he is out there.

    He hits 50% of his 3pt shot attempts. His defense probably sucks but I would give him a shot. If he is not apprehinsive about shooting and he can continue hitting 3pt shots at a 50% rate then he would be pretty good coming off of the bench. Of course we have Tony Daniels and Isiah Cannon who are both looking to get some time off of the bench as 3pt shooters as well so I can certainly understand if Fredette is not at the top of DM's list.

    He can't play D for the sake of his life. Sure he can jack up 3's from the parking lot and make some of them. He get's outscored by his opponent almost every time he plays. He sucks that bad.

    He'd fit right in then. ;) But yeah if Canaan and Daniels are better Defenders than we should just stand pat. Just thought it'd be pretty cool to get him since I think he could be our JJ Reddick.

    Funny how the Kings picked him with their first rounder and then picked Isaiah Thomas (who proved to be the better player) with their second rounder (also the 60th overall pick). Guy can flatout shoot, though the sample size for this year is relatively small given the amount of 3's taken. Still check his stats, I was surprised that as far as I can tell, he isn't terrible as one might assume. Maybe I'm missing something but here's his BBall reference page.

    We need more playoff experience at this point of the season.

    A shooting guard in the body of an unathletic point guard. Whose minutes would he take?

    No thanks. Our defense is already bad enough.
