    I won't be mad if we don't get anyone that's been bought out.
    The addition of Gerald Green has had more impact than any of the potential buy outs probably would have.
    Daryl did his thing prior to the deadline.

    Legit 7 footer and a big body with decent potential.

    Knowing the Kings his development was probably going too well and they didn’t want any legit players on the squad.

    What about Nerlens Noel?
    Hasn't played in months, but you'd think would be a logical "fit" as his game kind of mirrors Clint's in a way.

    Boris Diaw!
    Just read he has an NBA out. We need a player that would be ok with not getting minutes, but if called on, has the experience.
    Shocked we wouldn't consider him, especially since his best year was for Mike D'antoni.

    I still think we need a better backup center. Nene has been playing way too many minutes lately.

    nene doesnt play enough...he plays consecutively for a few games just over a quarter total each game. cf's response: hes playing too much

    nene plays...cf's response: his minutes need to be reduced and sit him out games.

    His age and injuries has prevented him from playing well on most occasions.

    Dallas is way more likely to punish Noel and not give him the freedom he clearly wanted by taking that qualifying offer than to buy him out. Why? Because everyone knows Dallas is a shitty organization.

    We have Onuako if we want to give it a chance to a young unproven prospect. No need to waste time elswhere. Dantoni will only give a chanse to veterans anyhow.

    I think Ramona Shelburne (or was it Windy?) Said that Golden State found what they needed from Javale Mcgee in Looney/Bell so his time at GS is probably over. He would be released so they could pick up someone off the buyout market.

    Javale is probably the best fit of them all. You don't need a high BBIQ to understand "Pick. Roll. Flush".

    Joe Johnson and Channing Frye would be awesome.

    Joe Johnson doesn't even play for Sacramento. What is Mannix smoking?

    If I couldn't get Chandler or Diaw, this is the guy I would get.

    A young talented big who's only going to get better. Think of a poor mans Capela.
