Bargain Hunting Watch

Absolutely.

speaking of bargain hunting, what about trying to acquire Anthony Morrow?

Anthony Morrow? Maybe D-Will?

Englishmen will understand...

i pretty much love everyone on the bucks roster, including these guys.
unfortunately, they're a .500 team and probably don't want to trade anybody just yet.

Ya that's true we will see how long try last but on there forum when I brought this trade up they loved it and thought we were getting the raw end. I think it would be win win do both teams.

I keep Evans, and offer him a minimum to stay another season later. Not a bad guy at all to have deep on the bench, and spot used.

We need to add another big.

Kings will have a home stretch with quite a few easy games, where some experimenting is not gonna hurt their record, so they should have a chance to try out Hollins and Moreland. Hollins was actually a serviceable defender last year for a PO team, so getting him involved in screen&roll action might be enough to avoid him being an offensive liability, while strengthening bench defense. Malone simply likes slowly tweaking his rotations to see what's working without big swings. Also basically all of East is still in PO hunt even those with .333 record, same for most of West, so decent players will become available for scraps of assets, that Kings have at the moment, only in a month or so. PDA should really try and get some minor asset for the rest of 2015 pick's protection ASAP though, because I just don't see Kings finishing with top-10 worst record, and in a couple of weeks it might be too obvious.

Ok we have a huge hole at backup PG, and we need someone to be able to guard some of the extended 4's out there like Anderson, and JT had a little trouble tonight too with Monte.

SG is more stable now, its worth gambling on with Nik too for now, give him some time to develop.

I think we should look at sending Williams if possible out to some lottery teams and looking for some cheap veterans that may help us. Even if they have cheap two year deals.

Kendell Marshal or Nate Wolters as the back up PG

I Say Mo Williams from the wolves

Nate Wolters was a surprisingly average defender already as a rookie. Given his shooting prowess in college, might become a really good backup PG. Another big plus - doesn't turn the ball over.

if we are talking back up PG's I like Shelvin Mack's game..played four years at Butler, won two national titles. Very composed, can play defense and knock down the three.

Mack should be a target too, but I believe, Atlanta would like to keep him for this season at least as Shroeder is not fully ready to take over as a backup PG, plus at 6'3" Hawks can easily slot him at SG for a lot of matchups.

thing is though Schroeder is playing more than Mack is

Shroeder is first to sub in for Teague, but if he's not looking good Mack gets his chance, plus a few minutes at SG. He's not untouchable there, but at the same time Kings are thin on assets.

We've got a bargain right there in Reno. Bring up Ra'shad James to replace Sessions

1/1.1 Ast/TO ratio and .238 from 3 and .571 at FT line. Ra'shad James=Bargain, right?

Compared to what we've got? It's all relative at the moment. We just need a clear 3rd string 'emergency' point guard, so Ray Mac can play a lot and develop

What about Norris Cole from the Heat? They have Shabazz now and might be willing to part with him. He isn't ideal by any stretch of the imagination, but he does have playoff/championship experience.

here's a list of bargain bin PGs

Brandon Jennings
Nate Wolters
Pablo Prigioni (NYK)
Jose Calderon (NYK)
Jarrett Jack
Shelvin Mack (ATL)
Dennis Schroder (ATL)
Toney Douglas
Jordan Farmar
Mo Williams
Mario Chalmers

anyway, sessions is having an outlier year offensively. i think that's because we don't have enough three point shooters. we don't really have space for new three point shooters except maybe at backup PG and backup C, so here are a few bargain bin backup centers who can hit three pointers.

Pero Antic (ATL)
Meyers Leonard
Mike Muscala (ATL)
Andrea Bargnani (NYK)

that said, nothing is gonna fix sessions' defense, so we shouldn't be making moves to accommodate him.

Where is Sergio Rodriguez?

He is not too bad for a back-up PG.

I don't think you can afford to trade Reggie. Taking a huge chance at souring our chemistry for almost no return.

Actually Kayte would tell you that Hollins is good for team chemistry too. DWill is the true spare piece.

Is there any reason why we didn't keep Alonzo Gee? (money issue?) Dude has a 2mil dollar contract he's more athletic than D-Will and hustles like Casspi does, every-time he gets playing time for Denver he plays terrific D and throws down monstrous dunks in transition. He could have been a excellent back up for Ben with his energy and defense. I was surprised at the time we let him go considering he was a starter (be it on a bad team) for a number of years and did build up a reputation as a decent defender.

Hustling energy guys off the bench with athletic ability like Casspi was exactly what we needed, should have kept Alonzo (would have been nice to have both). I don't get why we would consider bringing in T-Will while letting Gee a guy with zero off the court issues go.

KJ McDaniels as a do it all guard that can spot some SF minutes if need be? With that said I still think we need a PF more than anything else. I just have this feeling we are getting Smith from Detroit. He fits the bill well but does he turn the corner like Rudy? Can we make magic happen again and get lucky? A focused Smith is a neck of a player but usually he isn't and that's what brings all that talent down.

Real Madrid. he is great offensively but really limited defensively. if you want to get him to come from Madrid (i doubt it) he will wont a lot more than min contract.

How about a trade with the Nets- Jack and AK for D-Will and Sessions.
I heard they are looking to cut spendings and Jack is on a 3 year 19 mill contract, AK barely get playing time but he can be a very good PF next to Rudy (against most line-ups) and that will let you play JT as the back-up center.

This name was already brought up, and I'm sure it happened already on most active NBA message boards as well, but once again KJ McDaniels.
Not just random thought "he looks great!", but rather an interesting article: http://www.vantagesports.com/#story/VHlAYSQAACUAyoRe/k.j.-mcdaniels-is-a-star-in-the-making
I don't interpret the stats same way as the author, but rather:
- on a team, where he has little attention from opponents, he can pick his spots and make things happen already.
- even though he's playing for a team, that people don't give full effort against, him leading all shooting guards at Points Allowed per Shot can't be regarded as anything other than a huge plus.
Our old, even if for a moment, friend - Sam Dalembert. Based on another statistics tracking website: http://nyloncalculus.com/stats/rim-protection/.
Basically in his 18-20 minutes Sammy patrols your basket like no other guy. His other statistics are within his career range(his foul rate is actually lower), other than rebounds being a bit down(doesn't get as many offensive rebounds, which might explain lower foul rate), and FG% being really down, though Sam is still shooting only 4 times per game.
P.S.: that Boogie guy continues to look good in this defense thingy.

I don't know if I would try a trade for KJ when we could just use some of our newfound capspace in the offseason to sign him instead. (In the ultimate Sixer move, they overplayed their hand in negotiations and had him sign a one-year contract with no bird rights and he's rightfully nonplussed at his current situation.)

KJ is a defensive wrecking ball and capable of swinging between the three and two, which makes him the ideal 6th-7th man.

Kicking ass and taking names over in Europe! He is the reigning Euroleague MVP! No way anyone will get him back to the NBA as he is one of those players that earn a lot more over in europe as stars than they would in the NBA. Similar to the likes of Navarro, Rudy Fernandez, Nenad Krstić etc...
