Name to keep in mind as buyout market begins: Boris Diaw. Has NBA out with his French team Paris-Levallois. 35-year-old's camp has touched base with several playoff teams expressing interest. Great locker room presence, unselfish role player with 119 games of playoff experience.

Really wanted us to get Henzonja.. this offseason is going to be a busy one for us.. would have liked to make a deal before the deadline but this summer will be much easier. We have 2 guys in Diallo and Jackson that could be good assets for us when right now they are simply unknown. We also can go the route of move guys like Mirotic and Moore if the right deal presents itself. Plus we will be able to move next years 1st round pick. We will be sitting in a very good position to improve this team in the summer imo. Excited to see how this team plays the rest of the year along with what should be a fun offseason.
LoL yea Rondo is better then a 23 year old PG who is a very good athlete averaging 13 and 6 while shooting 52% from the field along with a respectable 37% from 3.. go find me some guards shooting over 50%.. Rondo is nowhere near the player or talent Payton is at the moment.. all while playing on one of the worst teams in the NBA.. I'm sure Rondo would thrive in that situation lol.. but yea you're right..

Sources: The Kings are waiving center Georgios Papagiannis, who was their No. 13 overall selection in the 2016 draft.

Bigs I want:
Willie Reed (has a 6 game suspension for domestic violence charge so not sure if that takes him off the market)
Channing Frye
Georgios Papagiannis
Andrew Bogut
Guards:
Who is available so far?
Unfortunately, that's likely the caliber of player we can expect to scoop up on this buyout period.
I agree he's not but neither is Diaw. If we bring in any big it needs to be a big body who plays strictly for matchup purposes giving AD a little break. If Ajinca can come back he's probably as good as we are going to find. Our best route to winning is AD playing the 5 most of the game but to keep him healthy we need to atleast have the option of minimizing those minutes against players like Adams. When you look at all of the teams we might see in the playoffs imo only OKC, Denver, and the Jazz are teams we will need a big that can bang in the paint.
Yea but Diaw does not have the length or athleticism to be a 5.. he's thick but that doesn't mean he's what we need at the 5 in anyway.. I would rather Diallo play the 5 then Diaw.. I like Diaw but I just don't think he is what we are looking for.. we need a big for guys like Gobert, Adams, and Jokic.. Diaw would be a disaster guarding those guys. If we didn't have Mirotic then sure but we imo we don't have a spot for him. I think Terrance Jones would be a much better fit and someone I could see coming here. I'm a big fan of Montijuenas and would love to bring him in. With guys like Asik and Ajinca in the NBA it blows my mind how he does not have a roster spot somewhere.
