    Lol, Vander Blue should get a commission from NBA agents. While Magic Johnson, Steve Nash etc could make NBA players like better in compliment, they pale in Blue's ability to make NBA players ability to make NBA players looks better in contrast. No light, or pass can escape from the gravitational ego of a Vander Bluehole.

    On related news of desperation I say give a chance to Michael Beasely (I was right about Javale McGee being salvageable). Odom could be given $100,000 in a brown paper baggy to be his drug counselor (I kid, I kid)

    I think Rondo can still be useful too, so call me crazy, the danger, of course, is him coming off the bench when he feels far superior to Ball (which should not be the issue, but I doubt he would see it this way if things hit a wall). It's called a risk. We just have to use his furious (petulant?) anger.

    I want nothing to do with Deron Williams. If we get him I will cry manly tears.

    Although I desperately want a couple of signings so we can compete, after Mozgov and Deng you realize sometimes it is the contracts you DON'T sign that can be just as important as the ones you do (that being said Avery Bradley and George Hll stings)

    I had a theory that it was the Moz signing at 12.01 that had Mitch as the trigger man that eventuated some of these crazy contracts.

    To me the Sacremento signings are the front office equivalent of fake hustle on the basketball court. I wanted Vince Carter for a year, but not getting him does not hurt at all for example.

    Many teams are signing to tread water rather than make a tangible change. In that way I support our front office and think the one year restriction is what is hurting us.

    That being said, if we strike out next year it will be devestating and I wouldn't even give PG a 30% chance of coming here YET. I will be cheering for each OKC and CAV loss all year. Hopefully Russ wall Boss Hogg the ball and Kevin Love will become Kevin Like again.

    Ilyasova is a FA. That's sort of interesting. He'd be a real @abeer3 pick.

    The one thing I like about Clarkson is he has the physical tools. The guy is an athlete. And you team that up with a desire to improve which he has, and good things can happen. If he can improve his 3 shot towards 40%, move the ball a little more (like his first season) and get his defence going. He can be a quality starter.

    I don't see KCP being that much better if at all. I think Magic sees the potential because he is always spending time talking to JC at training.

    JC is fine offensively, defensively is where he needs to improve. I think he's best suited as 6th man and KCP would be a great fit in the starting lineup.

    all this. kcp is a 4th/5th starter type who can defend his position. he doesn't deserve the contract he's seeking, but he could fit nicely here.

    KCP - a bulldog defensively. A plus defender 1-3.

    No it's find someway to get CJ Miles time so Lonzo can feed him for corner 3s. I'm going to speak this into existence.

    There was a rumor I'd read somewhere that the Nets might go after Miles instead of KCP which is sort of interesting... I figure they're probably going to go after KCP though which leaves Miles still on the board.
