    He is not playing many minutes in Sacramanto. maybe Rox can get him fairly cheap and improve the F positions. How did Kings and Marvs got so many players that can really play? mainly becuase they have coachs?

    Only if SAC falls flat against the Mavs. He's a bit streaky but he played very well in last year's playoffs. I don't know what SAC is paying him and if I'm correct, the Rockets only have their exemption slot ($5 million?) to offer which may not be enough but he's the kind of player that the Rockets should be looking at.

    Very,very good scouting. Having a system and getting players who fit into this system. I'm willing to bet it won't be long before Wallace starts to ease into christie's time. One thing about Wallace, he's learning to play the right way and the Kings way. No matter that he's a great athelete, he will learn how to move without the ball and stuff like that.

    We're going to have to bring him in and see if he can challenge Turkcan, Langhi, and Nachbar's record in Rudy's infamous "shooting drill".

    IF, and only if he approaches their numbers he may be rewarded with a seat on the bench next to nachbar.:D

    Is that a 'yes' to his 'no'? Or a contradictory 'yes'?

    If we somehow acquired Turkgolu or small forward position would be solidified for the next 5 years at least.

    even though they dont need him, they wont let him just walk. hes too good. i think hed prefer playing time to money, or even <gasp>....both. im sure there are some teams willing to take a risk with a fat contract and overpay for his potential

    would you give up nachbar and another solid guy for him? i would. MLE? definitely. overpay? nope.

    The rumors are they'll only trade him for a lottery pick. And, let me check my wallet... Nope, that ain't cheap.

    For some reason he keeps getting connected with Chicago and Detroit (and their lottery pick). Being a Detroit fan, I hope the latter doesn't happen.

    He screams "Billy Owens" to me.
