Two guys who looked promising early but have completely disappeared from their respective teams' rotations: Timofey Mosgov and Tiago Splitter. I don't think that's necessarily a sign that they're available, but I'd certainly be interested, in Splitter in particular (just because he's a better scorer than Mosgov). I tried to work out a way to trade Camby to the Spurs for a package containing Splitter, but was stymied by the extreme sensibleness of the Spurs' contracts. A trade of Camby for Splitter and McDyess isn't close to working. A trade that brings back Jefferson and Splitter works, but we don't want Jefferson and they don't want to give him up.
(Why trade Camby? Because (a) he's old, and a lockout is coming, and (b) I want the Spurs to have everything they might need to beat the Lakers.)
 
I like Splitter, but why in the world would the Spurs trade him now? Duncan is winding down in a big way and sooner rather than later he's going to get his chance. The Knicks would probably be a better trade partner but it's hard to say what could be put together that they would really covet.

Maybe this would pique their interest? Randolph, Mozgov and Curry for Camby, Rudy wuth Sean Marks thrown in (after February 6th) to make salaries match. Somehow I'm not sure if that would be enough.
 
In the past 15 games LaMarcus has put up 26/11 while playing a lot of center.

I think it'd be easier to grab a decent PF than it would be a decent C.
