I hope we invite Kaminsky to our summer league team.


That would be a nice addition. Stretch 4 or 5 in some cases off the bench. Not sure who he gaurds but get him on the Summer league team and see what he can do

Patric Young, who surprisingly, went undrafted. He should make our team and would get good playing time even as a rookie.

Kaminsky returned to Wisconsin, so that would probably be an NCAA violation of some sort.

I agree with giving Oden a call, and maybe Okafor if he's healthy.

Would like them to sign Patric Young or Jordan Bachynski and send him to Summer League ...

i'd rather have varejao than oden and okafor, for insurance, i would sign kaman or a guy like ivan johnson to add more bigs

i'll let bass go, even faverani if needed even anthony
let sully and kelly stay

Anyway -feasible, that Pau Gasol could be acquired.  Motion offense, passing, not a rebounder, but to my eyes, an excellent addition if doable.  For instance, would LA take a number one and Wallace for a sign and trade?

Paul wants to go to a team with a chance to winner if he doesn't stay with the Lakers.  That doesn't mean us......

This was a bad draft in terms of Center depth, so it's understandable Danny didn't reach for someone like Nuric or Capela at 6 and 17, respectively. Next year's draft is a lot deeper in terms of big men, though I'm sure that wasn't part of his calculation.

DeAndre Jordan.  Got to be the big move of the summer.

not worried about the center spot.  there will be plenty of FA's looking for a paycheck that can eat minutes at that spot.  if all else fails, since it'll be another year of youth development, use Anthony and Fav with possibly bringing Iverson over.

there's always the TPE which needs to be used in the next couple of weeks to take an unwanted backup or questionable contract off someone's hands (and possibly pick up an extra asset)

By the way, is the remainder of Faverani's contract non-guaranteed?

Who are all the non-guaranteed guys on our roster?

I believe this coming year's money is still guaranteed. Beyond that he can be waived.

I'd trade Rondo and a pick or 2 for Drummond.

Detroit has some major issues and we could help each other out. Maybe we have to take back Smith (personally I'm fine with), maybe the send us Monroe instead of Drummond? I don't really care but they should be considered our number one trade partner IMO.

If we got Drummond and gave up Rondo, than we just go young and long term, right now as is we seem in limbo.

no way they trade Drummond... he is already turning into a top defensive threat in the league, plus he is playing on the rookie scale salary..
