    By everyone do you mean yourself?

    The team finished the year with 13 straight losses and he was the weak link. I remember most thinking he was an 'ill fit at center and at best an interesting backup big behind LaMarcus. There was a lot of concern about giving him significant money as a free agent.

    Good article, but the author's main table, titled "Ball Handlers Outperforming their Teammates," compares a $16M per year individual, Harris, to NBA teamwide averages, which include 15th men.

    The Kings are exploring the idea of making a minor trade and it could involve shooting guards Marco Belinelli or Ben McLemore in exchange for draft picks or a wing defender, per the Sacramento Bee.

    ------

    Henderson for McLemore?

    That's interesting..how old is he?I don't know much about him really but I'm invested in the Gerald Henderson acquisition. It's taken me a long time to start favoring guys and Henderson has me sold...I'll look for some McLemore clips....

    I think he's either 22 or 23.

    McLemore would be an interesting prospect IF we were trading CJ or Crabbe. If we retain both those players, he doesn't make sense. There's not enough minutes to go around.

    Howard for Whiteside? I dunno what to think of that potential deal.

    Meh for meh? A guy not living up to his potential for a guy that isn't likely to live up to his potential?

    Whiteside would fit right in with their team concept.

    Those things take care of themselves. It's about gaining another asset and it gives portland insurance for Crabbe.

    From espn:

    The aforementioned McLemore, sources say, is working with the Kings to try to find a new home via trade. Sacramento made the same pledge to veteran swingman Caron Butler as far back as December.

    Word is that the Kings, who are desperate to end a playoff drought spanning nine seasons and counting before moving into a new building next season, prefer immediate help in trade talks more than future picks.

    Blazers getting McLemore would likely make C.J. expendable for a Blake Griffin or Kevin Love deal.

    Doesn't he just slot right in and take the minutes Henderson is getting?

    Not much they can do to get them back into the playoff picture at this point.

    It's the same issue though. Three young guys who all want to start.

    I look at him more as an assett. Henderson isn't likely going to stay here. So we move an expiring for a young guy with potential. You give him Henderson 15 or so mpg, and you hope he shows enough to be a potential chip moving forward. He also gives you small insurance on if crabbe leaves

    Right now today Allan Crabbe is a better overall player than Ben McLemore.

    We can play both. Vonleh and harkless can rotate at PF.

    Great so if we do trade C.J. we can just bring McLemore off the bench and start Crabbe. That way at least the world wont come crashing down on us.
