a little surprised we haven't heard us going after him? doesn't he seem like a pretty good fit for us off the bench? veteran long good defensive player?

Well he declined his option to play next season for $10 million so he would be way out of our price range.

Expensive and always hurt, yes he does seem like a good fit. But I think we are trying to go in a different direction.

Plays the wrong position. We don't need a power forward, we need a center or a guard.

Almost as bad as the Bynum idea

Worse, I think.

A) He's old

B) He has an over-inflated self worth.

C) He plays a position that is set with Aldridge, Robinson, and Freeland.

At least Bynum plays a position that we need. You have to give him that.

Well actually he doesn't even play

Fine, he occupies a position of need.

Jeff Withey will fill the DNP position just fine

That still doesn't make Bynum a worse idea than AK47.

What are you basing that claim on? The fact that he opted out? He said in an interview he did it because he wants to settle somewhere - he said he loved the deal, he just didn't like the length of the deal. He even said it's possible that no NBA team wants him. Doesn't sound too arrogant to me.

I love Kirilenko - in his prime he was just awesome - a 5 x 5 player. A better version of what we hope Batum is. But he is a bit long in the tooth. Still, if we somehow ended up with him I wouldn't be at all sorry.

Perhaps we should hope that Minny re-signs him and thus feels it has to cut $ on Pekovic.

Sure, in his prime he was great..... not now.

he plays small forward but whatever you guys say

He used to play small forward. I don't think that's what he was playing in Minny. He's too old and not as fast as he once was.
