The thing is do we have enough money to nab one of these guys?

Wouldn't other teams be forking out more money for them ?

[Overrated]

Kenyon would be great.  Free up Bass and/or Wilcox as trade bait.

I'd rather have Bass and Wilcox play than the wash up-often injured Martin.

I'd rather have Bass too. He's no slouch, and he is perfect off the bench. I get the feeling Bass is more receptive to that role than a loud-mouthed Martin.

At least one of these overseas NBA player will be taking the minimum to get back into the league this year, since most teams are over the cap and don't have MLE and MMLE to use. 

If you were a player looking to get a big contract next year, would you want to play for a scrub team for a couple or months for a pro rated portion of $2m, or a contender for a pro rated portion of the minimum?  I'll take the playoff exposure of the contender, especially if I'm a KMart who has already banked $108 million, or an AK-47, with $91m. 

Perhaps. But Wilson will take the QO from Denver before the vet min from Boston, and KMart and AK47 might not get another contract.  They are both old enough with enough miles on their wheels that they might happily take the $3M some team with the MMLE has to offer over the vet min from Boston.

Martin's not the shooter Bass is, but he's a better defensive player (more range, better quickness, smarter).

I like Bass, but if I had to choose between just Bass and Kenyon Martin and a player at a position of greater need acquired with Bass's attractive contract then I'm choosing the latter.

Without Jeff Green, we are short on trade assets to improve the team further this year.  Transitioning Bass from key rotation cog to attractively priced surplus PF would be nice.

My first choice for guy currently in China is probably Dan Gadzuric, since he is an actual center.

AK is only 30 and has never had any serious injuries that I recall.

But he's terrible....Id rather have Martin at least the dude can play.

Kenyon Martin would be a god-send. No hope he takes the min though. Until Green went down, he was the number 1 guy I would've wanted.

Gadzuric has his uses.  Rebounding (once...a long time ago...he actually led the league in offensive rebounding percentage), shot-blocking (blocks shots at about twice the rate of Kenyon Martin), not completely useless on offense.  And, as I said, at least he is a center.  Martin's a better play but the Gadzuric might fill Boston's needs better.
